Adam KurzawaApril 2, 2013There isn't a sub on the menu that isn't delicious. Sixpoint on tap and rice balls are a plus. Great little outdoor seating area for spring/summer and a foosball table to boot. Dynamite soundtrack too
Tricia LayneApril 17, 2013Zitos is so awesome! My team and I, Team in Training go there often after our runs! Great service and generous people to our cause, Leukemia and Lymphoma! Sandwiches and good bear! Fresh! God Bless!
Dianna H.August 9, 2014Highly recommend both the chicken BLT & the chicken parm. Always a tough decision between the two but honestly, it's a win-win decision. Get both!
Everything is good. I usually look out for the special of the day, but everything on the menu is just as good or better. Enjoy a Sixpoint Beer while you're at it.
Ann WalkushApril 10, 2013This place has amazing sandwiches (chicken parm is the clear winner, but the egg sandos are equally good). Plus they play lots of soccer games on their TVs! Great atmosphere
Kimberly AginAugust 24, 2012The parm sandwiches are delicious! They have servers at the tables at this location... Wish it was more laid back like the 7th ave location. Otherwise love the place and good quality food.
The Wall Street JournalApril 5, 2012The atmosphere is less Old World than it is Nouveau Park Slope, with black chalk-board walls, '90s hip-hop on the stereo, Sixpoint on tap and shelves stocked with Boylan's soda. Read more
brian braikerDecember 23, 2012The Autogrill might be a candidate for best sammich in Brooklyn: provolone, mortadella, capicollo, sopresseta, prosciutto, spicy pepperoncinos and oil & vinegar. Crazy good.
Nice space, friendly owners. For the non-meat eaters the eggplant parm is great and so is the meatless. If you want the panelle get there early, they only make 20 a day.
Sonny ViscoMay 17, 2013Best sandwich shop in park slope hands down. 2nd in Brooklyn only to defontes. And 6point on draft to boot. So dope.
GabriellaJanuary 6, 2014Sandwich are very big and very good, try the local beer is very particular, people are very nice and friendly
Edith TaveraFebruary 22, 2014Get the Pork Braciole and don't look back. It's so soft and tender the Braciole and the bread become one.
Jenna M.August 1, 2012Definitely a wait for food, worth it but takes almost too long. Braciole sandwich is amazing, eggplant parm is very good. Prosciutto balls are underwhelming, not much Prosciutto & a log more cheese.
Enzo and Marcello are the best. Great people, amazing food = a great place. My favorite is the fried cheese ravioli. Reminds me of STL/home.
Shayla N.March 9, 2013The eggplant parm is killer. I recommend grabbing half to stay, half to go- makes for a great lunch the next day.
Fantastic sandwiches, friendly owners and a foosball table - Skip the lines at the overhyped Bare Burger and go directly to Zitos. Seriously, this place is a gem.
Roger GillMay 4, 2013One of the best chicken parm sandwiches I have ever had. Also a great back garden space to enjoy it in.
Theresa Minton NasiJanuary 8, 2013These guys are nice & pleasant always! Love the energy here. Food rocks too. All of it. *try the "Superette" style rice balls
Dave VMarch 17, 2013There are two vegan sandwiches here. The one with chickpea fritters, the Panelle, was delicious and substantial.
Great for Italian sandwiches and dishes. This place has the greatness of old school Italian deli meets quintessential Park Slope gastronomy.
aaron lefkoveSeptember 1, 2011Get the roast beef....or the autogrill. Or anything really. Serious sandwiches. Working my way through trying one of everything on the menu. ENJOY EVERY SANDWICH!!!
Ashley GammieNovember 29, 2013Delicious! Great place to grab a quick sandwich or have delivery! Best sandwich in park slope.
The parms are amazing, but it's worth venturing out for the fried egg sandwich with prosciutto and asparagus.
The wireless password is 'meatball' and they seemed more than happy to have me there with my computer on a Saturday afternoon. Nice guys!
Sally YoonJune 1, 2012Eight-Hour Slow-Cooked Pork Bracciole, Sixpoint Braised Roast Beef with marinated mushrooms balsamic-glazed onions, housemade mozz
They are still working out the kinks, so expect to be the last person in the place to get your sandwich even if you ordered first. The waitstaff don't know the menu yet, but at least they'll admit it!
Great serious sandwiches, nice vibe, friendly owners. Pretty much anything is good. Personal fave: tuna.
Colleen McAndrewAugust 18, 2014Cash only. Breakfast sandwiches are my fav, but honestly all are great!
The eggplant parm sandwich is great, but I think it's the made to order rice balls, FTW!
Fantastic place, great guys, awesome atmosphere. Next time you stop in try the "Trunzo", it is named after me.
robin monheitJuly 4, 2012Delicious sandwiches and chill vibe. Try the Sicilian tuna. Plus, diet root beer!
The Meatball Special is fantastic. Great vibe, awesome spot to catch soccer and great craft beer on tap.
carolineJanuary 27, 2013Best meatballs, and gluten free fresh baked breads. The freshest Cannolis- watch out they are addictive.
Uber NYCAugust 22, 2013Offering free Prosciutto Balls and 1/2 off beer during Uber NYC's #BKLOVESuberX, 8/23-25/13.
Federico García AriasMay 5, 2012Like this place, staff is really fast and welcoming, good beer, food's good and you have free wifi, password: meatball
Greg DoughertyMarch 2, 2014My Saturday afternoon: early 90's hip-hop and a great Chicken parm. Win-win.
Andy EllwoodOctober 6, 2012The Resin Double IPA from Six Point brewery pairs perfectly with their 8 hour pork sandwich
I've only had the eggplant parm, and it's the best I've ever had. Nuff said.
Samantha MSeptember 2, 2012Delicious sandwiches. Highly recommend the pork braciole. Tastes SO homemade!
The food here is really good! The pork bracciole is a must. But get here early they sell out fast..
