Matera's Italian Market - Rutherford

I can't say enough about the service I received at Matera's. My business hosts a meeting in The Loft, which is their upstairs event space, two times per month, so I have the owner's personal contact information. My friend ordered food from the store butbefore he got a chance to pick up the order he had to deal with a family emergency and the store closed. I called the owner andsomeone met me at the store to make sure the food was cooked fresh to fulfill my friend's order. Not too many businesses offersuch exceptional service any more! Thank you Matera's and your amazing staff!

My visit to Matera?s deserves somewhere between 4 and 5 stars. I stopped in on a Monday afternoon and the place was packed with high schoolers eating. Any time a place is popping like that during the week, it?s a good sign. I went in with a few recommendations for a first timer, but I ended up going with the H7 and I?m glad I did. It was one of the best vodka chicken Parms I?ve ever had. The woman asked what kind of bread I wanted and I let her choose. She recommended the ciabatta, and it was the single best ciabatta I?ve ever had. It perfectly soaked up the vodka sauce while maintaining perfect crispness on the outside. It was a little different from a standard chicken parm in that there were big pieces of mozz on top of the chicken instead of just one melted layer. Awesome, awesome, awesome sandwich!
