Our History

Our delicious story start since 1967

Nicolo's Italian Bakery and Deli was established in 1967 by Nicolo Zecchino. Today, Nicolo's continues to be operated by the Zecchino family. Located in Montclair on Baldwin Street, Nicolo's specializes in Italian Bread for both retail and wholesale customers, homemade lunch and dinner platters for pickup or catering, fresh deli sandwiches and salads, and Italian specialties such as homemade pastas and sauces.

Made and baked fresh daily, we are proud of the acclaim our breads receive from our customers. The uniqueness of our breads has not changed in over 45 years. While we add items to our offerings periodically, we continue to use the same baking principles implemented by Nick in 1967. Nick undertook the trade of baking as a young man, and Nicolo's Italian Bakery and Deli is the culmination of his passion and knowledge for providing the finest baked goods and Italian delicacies.

Restaurants can be sure that our breads will compliment your menu whether you own/operate a pizzeria or a fine-dining establishment. Made from the finest ingredients--including our special ingredient, family--our customers receive the highest quality bakery goods and Italian specialties.
We not only pride ourselves in the quality of bakery and deli items, we understand the importance of customer satisfaction and take a special interest in providing every customer unparalleled service excellence.

Loved by Many

This is hands down one of the best sandwiches place I've ever been to. I frequent many deli's as I travel the tri-state area for work every week. All of their ingredients are fresh, their freshly baked bread is unmatched, and their chicken cutlets are impeccable. On top of that, the people behind the counter are professional, consistent, and kind. And the owners are great people! Even if Nicolo's is far from you, it's worth the drive!

I like my bread scooped and they understand. My fav, grill chicken with LTO. Chicken is well marinated. I love all the sides. Fresh baked bread in many varieties. This is the deli your parents and grandparents trusted when they didn't want to cook. It's the best.

Great, great bakery and delil! It's a small space, full of delicious food and other goodies, Lots of people ordering sandwiches, but they are super fast and the wait is not long. We ordered an Itallan hero, which was huge with a generous serving of meats and cheese. We also purchased outstanding coffee cake (so moist!!) and a hard Italian bread that we immediately snacked on - fresh and crispyl Street parking. There is an outside area (covered) with tables for enjoying your goodies on site.
