It's the perfect spot to visit before any get together. Whether you're hosting a cocktail hour or football with the boys, Olives has you covered for every occasion. I can spend hours exploring their tight shelves of Italian goodies. Their offerings include unique beverages, homemade meals, baked goods, sauces, seasoning, dessert, cheese, meats, etc. It would be the ideal place to visit if you were building out a scrumptious cheese board! I especially love their sandwich bar. Everything is fresh and made to order. The selection is large, so you'll need to return to explore it all. Highly recommend the Naples panini and the turkey and brie.

It's fun to shop around while you wait for your sandwiches to be prepared. Ordering can be done online. We went on a Saturday around noonish and they line was 4-5 people deep. Definitely order ahead if you're short on time. Food: I ordered the Naples sandwich. It has Oven roasted turkey, provolone cheese, herb aioli, bacon, tomato, arugula on focaccia. Super delicious and decent size. The menu has plenty of sandwiches to choose from. I would recommend this one, but would try another one because why not? Service/Ambiance: The service is quick and all of the staff is friendly. I would recommend Olives Gourmet Grocer. It is a perfect place to go to if you're going to the beach or having a picnic.

We ordered a couple chopped cheeses, fries, onion rings, and chicken nuggets for the little one. Everything was delicious. The crispiness of all the fries foods were spot on. They offered up some delicious homemade sauces, and their cilantro one is bomb (not spicy but a little tangy). The chopped cheese was melty and delicious, and the bread had a nice chewy texture. Service was friendly and low-key. Food took a little while but was worth the wait. Everything was so good. We will definitely be back!

I chose the regular 7" cold roast beef sandwich dressed ($15) and added a bag of chips snd a can of Coke. With tax it was $22 and change. It took them about 5 minutes to make the sandwich. Seating inside is limited to bar stools along a long so I guess most people get their food to go. The sandwich was filling with dense bread, roast beef, Swiss cheese, lettuce, tomato, etc. it was a good tasting sandwich but more like a 3 rather than a 4. Counter service was friendly.

On our way to a concert, we decided to stop at Modica's, a place I've visited several times over…read morethe years. I ordered ahead, and lucky me--my order was ready for pickup in under 10 minutes. On previous visits, I've sometimes waited closer to 15-20 minutes, so this was a very welcome surprise. I ordered the pastrami sandwich on a roll, and they certainly didn't skimp on the meat. It was generously piled high--exactly how I think a good pastrami sandwich should be served, with so much meat it practically falls out with every bite. The pastrami was flavorful, and the portion was impressive. My husband ordered the beef dip and gave it equally high marks. His sandwich was also generously filled, and he said the beef was delicious. These are seriously substantial sandwiches. We could only manage half of each before the concert, which turned out to be a bonus--the other halves became a very satisfying late-night treat. Modica's delivered where it matters: generous portions, satisfying sandwiches, good flavor, and this time, impressively quick service.

A true Italian paradise…read more I got to spend a week learning the ins-and-outs of the downtown LB food scene. Modica's Deli was one of the few places that absolutely blew me away.. yet had me crawling back for more. This Italian deli is dedicated to serving up sammies to locals. Their menu is extensive and includes hot and cold sandwiches, charcuterie, salad, soup, pasta, plus pre-made deli favorites. They also have an extensive list of wine onsite, in case you want to add some oomph to your next business meeting. I ordered the 16" Grilled Chicken Sandwich. Grilled chicken, romaine lettuce, tomato, provolone and mayo. It might sound simple, but this monster of a sandwich was incredibly tasty. Can't wait to return and see how hard this place hits during soup season.
