Sally DuForeOctober 26, 2015It's the best sandwich Anyone that know this is the place a relic in Hells Kitchen may it be here forever
Scott FranklinNovember 23, 2011This place is so great. So much better than heroboy next door. Everything is homemade by the friendly chatty gal and her staff. One of the best lunch spots in midtown.
Jackie BinghamApril 26, 2012Best place to order from for a party! Huge party size heros, bucket of sauce for pasta and meatballs, salad, chips are great too.
Scott BleicherDecember 14, 2011Almost as good as walking into your grandma's kitchen, if your grandma happens to be Italian and lives on the west side of Manhattan.
Pro tip: cheese ravioli with meatballs. In case you're not in the mood for a massive sandwich (which are also great)
Simply can't go wrong with the chicken parm sub, and don't be scared to smother it in homemade tomato sauce, phenomenal
David 🎉 LasterAugust 6, 2010Favorite chicken parm hero in the city. Rice ball is awsome too. Dontb confused with the manganaro's to the left which is run by the mean part of the fam
The Chicken Parm sandwich is best in NYC... Fresh Mozzarella, served with home made potato chips!
Mario MattiaMay 24, 2012Been eating here for 26years, my family been going there for longer, true hells kitchen tradition
dvDepot Studio and Equipment Rental HouseJanuary 25, 2012Hands down the best heros in the city. And they always deliver on time!
Travel ChannelNovember 17, 2010The ambience? You couldn’t buy this for a million dollars or 10 million dollars. Delicious. – Anthony Bourdain, No Reservations Read more
- Get the ziti with the meatballs if you don't feel up to the challenge of a sandwich.
Note: this place is the real thing. Heroboy next door is NOT affiliated. Eat. Love.
MoRizaMarch 31, 2010Don't let the ladies in the back intimidate you. Always ask for price before ordering and check their math. ;-)- daniel harveyMay 6, 2011Listen to the sisters banter with each other and the customers. Very entertaining.
Andrey ChepusovJanuary 25, 2013Large portions and okay tasting; but way overpriced for something that sits under a heat lamp prior to purchase.
AlexAugust 6, 2010Not the same family at all, actually. Can you guess which establishment caters to and is frequented by tourists? ;)

Manganaro's Hero Boy is home of the original "hero" sandwich. We serve old world Italian cooking the way it should be.
