Real Delis in Bergen County - are they a dying breed?

[Concetta]

I have fond memories of the Waldwick deli, and would be interested to know what good delis there are left in Bergen County - German, Italian, Jewish, Polish, anything! Would especially be interested in Italian delis that offer fresh pasta, gnocchi, or cavatelli. Thanks in advance.

The Kosher Nosh in Glen Rock is outstanding IMO.

When I think of Delis I long for homemade salads and soups. Hard to find these days. Wilkes on Glen Ave in Ridgewood (NOT affiliated with other Wilkes) has the best German Potato salad I've found recently. Soups, well, that's daunting...

You are going to receive a lot of recommendations for Vitamia in Lodi, especially for their pasta products, but while it is an Italian deli that provides nice products and services, I would tell you they are very expensive as well for what is provided. I would also include Bartolomeo and Jerry's, both in Englewood in the same camp. There's a place in Waldwick called Itallian Riviera that gets love on this board, but I have not been to the location.

Here's a list of very good to great delis in addtion to the ones mentioned above, IMHO:

Italian:
Valente, Fairview
Visentini Bros., Lodi
Mela, Garfield
Latona, Garfield
Clememte, South Hackensack
Piccolo Gastronomia Italiana, Ridgefield

Polish:
Piast, Garfield
Golden Eagle, Garfield
Super Deli, Wallington

German:
Kochers, Ridgefield

Jewish:
Foster Village Delicatessen
Sol 'n' Sol, Englewood
Kosher Nosh, Glen Rock
Harold's II Kosher Superrette, Paramus

Hero:
Denaro's Dumont

General:

Picnic Caterers, Emerson
Cafasso's Fairway Market, Fort Lee

There's a couple of places in Closter that some have mentioned on this site. One I believe is Isabella's, the other, the name escapes me at the moment. There's two in Northvale/Norwood, but I was not impressed with either. These will get you started for now. If I can think of others or remember the names of the ones I missed, I'll report back.
