The best fresh Mozzarella in NYC is the Casa della Mozzarella, which became the symbol of the little Italy 🇮🇹 in the Bronx. I came here for the first time over a decade ago, and also today, it’s the best mozzarella I ever had. The Casa and the Classic are the crown of the sandwiches menu , as the mozzarella gives you a real Italian taste which I didn’t find even in Italy 🇮🇹 The Neighborhood didn’t change much as well, and the memories in my mind are now stories and posts on Instagram. Be Thankful Everyday. God Bless. - Amos Nachum
