Have been working in the chow rich Montclair neighboorhood latley,one of our favorite lunch spots has been this sausage and sub shop which has been in business since 1947.

On a scale of 1 to 11 (with Bari being an 11) the subs here are a solid 9.5. Had to wait in line behind 8 CPD tactical officers at lunch yesterday( as we all know,these guys are never wrong )

Took home a lb of the hot sausage with seeds and a jar of the house brand giardinaire. Sausage is excellent.Just enough heat to let you know its there without muting the flavor of the pork and other spices.
Giardinaire was good and hot with flakes of crushed red chile and oregano floating in it.

JSM:

Thanks for the tip. Amata and I have noticed the place on some of our trips to the west to seek out Italian bakeries but always only after having just left Riviera (just around the corner, more or less); we haven't yet checked it out but will do so forthwith.

Na sir is na seachain an cath.

I've tried Nottoli on several occasions. I think that their bread really pales in comparison to Riviera.

I like their meatball subs though.

Your description of the sausage is spot on. It's definitely got some kick to it. BUt it's not a one trick pony, it's packed with real flavors.
