    UM 1000% yes!!! I love a great focaccia sandwich, especially those made with thinly sliced imported Italian deli meat. These sandwiches are handcrafted with love. The shop, while busy, runs like a well-oiled machine. The staff is kind and works quickly to push out the BEST sandwiches I have had stateside in a while. While on the pricer side these sandwiches are HUGE and can easily be split between multiple people. That being said, there are so many fantastic options you won't want to get just one. If you're in the Back Bay Area you have to give them a shot!

    Sandwich was very delicious fresh soft warm focaccia bread fresh ingredients like the prosciutto and mozzarella sun-dried tomatoes

    There is usually a crowd but they move people through pretty quickly. The sandwiches are pretty pricey but they're huge so I'd recommend splitting one. They use delicious focaccia and fresh ingredients and if you eat in, they offer beer, wine and spritzes. I got La Broadway with pistachio cream, stracciatella, sun dried tomato, spicy zucchini and arugula and it was pretty good but I couldn't really taste the pistachio and the zucchini was a little too spicy for me. I'll go back and try a different one next time.

    The best part of All'antico Vinaio is easily the food. The portions are massive & can be two meals if you aren't overly hungry. The meat/toppings are plentiful & the focaccia is fresh & really stands out. The second best part is the addition of wine. The worst part is only one meat is allowed, which I did not see noted anywhere. The second worst part is the lack of seating. It was tough finding a spot to sit & enjoy the sandwich & wine. This hopefully improves as the trendiness dies down. This place is worth trying if in the Back Bay Area but if not I would stick with the sandwiches in The North End, at least until the lines die down.

    While in Boston, my husband stumbled upon an article about a new All'antico Vinaio opening up right in the heart of Downtown so we knew we had to go check it out for lunch yesterday! If you've ever heard of All'antico Vinaio, you know it originates from Italy, but they also have locations in places like New York and Las Vegas. We arrived sometime after 12pm and there was already a line out the door. We waited about 35 minutes in line before ordering. I loved ordering at the counter and watching the employees make the sandwiches - they cut the meat fresh to order right in front of you too. They have 2 full glass cases of spreads and toppings that made my mouth water! There were 3 of us so we decided to split their La Favolosa and their La Schiacciata Del Boss. Both sandwiches were differently unique, but super tasty in their own way. The bread on the Del Boss was salty and buttery and I also loved the Truffle Spread. The sandwiches are huge, but still very light and worth the price ranging from $15 to $19. As they just opened 5 days ago, they aren't serving alcohol yet, but they do have wine on their menu. They offer canned Italian drinks and sodas as well. The inside is pretty spacious with tables inside and outside. Overall, we really enjoyed our sandwiches and will definitely be checking out another location in the future. Check them out - you will not be disappointed!

    Well that was disappointing. I'd seen the lines and walked in one day seeing the bread thinking I will be back. Well this was the week, no lines. Long perusal of the menu and decide on The Diplomwt at $17. I was surprised how many sandwiches didn't include lettuce and tomatoes and real cheese. This did have sun-dried tomatoes, arugula, a prosciutto type meat and some parm crema I think. They add a little olive oil at the end. Got it home and taste nothing but the bread, which was good. The meat was chewy and I just didn't really get any kick of flavor. I'm a carb addict so that was good and the people were nice but it's a lot for a boring sandwich.

    I ordered takeout from this place. I got the genovese with turkey. The sandwich was delicious. The turkey tasted fresh and the pistachio cream with the pesto was an exciting new flavor to try. The sandwich itself was huge which was perfect for leftovers. I can't wait to try going in person when I have the chance.

    La paradiso (gluten-free)

    I'd been wanting to try out this sandwich shop for the longest time and knew I had to stop by while I was in the area. Walked in around 1pm on the weekend and there was a pretty long line, though all the workers were very efficient and tried to get to everyone's orders as quickly as possible. I ended up getting The Paradiso, specifically because it came with a pistachio cream and stracciatella. When I told them I had a gluten allergy, they were very careful about preparing my sandwich with pre-packaged gf bread in a separate area, which I really appreciated. The person at the cash register gave me a heads up that it usually takes about 5-10 minutes longer when preparing a sandwich to accommodate food allergies, but I was totally fine with waiting. All the sandwiches are priced around $15-$20 and I believe there's a slight surcharge with gf bread. Overall, it was an enjoyable sandwich albeit pricey. I would've expected a slightly larger portion of protein for the price I was paying, but I appreciated how fresh all the ingredients tasted and how well all the flavors went together. The pistachio cream is pretty rich and definitely gets a bit heavy/greasy for those with a lighter stomach, and I also noticed that it caused the bread (at least the gf bread) to become soggier than I anticipated, so it was kind of a mess to actually eat. Like many others have said, I'd recommend splitting a sandwich if you're not too hungry, as I doubt leftovers would hold up well.

    The lines were long, but went smoothly and quickly. Sandwich was delicious, and glad I could have one :)

    I was really excited to try this place but I feel like the sandwiches weren't as amazing as I had hoped. The focaccia was nice and fluffy, but the sandwich ingredients were just okay. It was a lot of meat and cheese, plus with the focaccia, it's quite heavy. I think I would've liked a more balanced sandwich. I'm glad I tried but I don't think I'd get this regularly.

    Incredibly delicious sandwiches at an authentic Italian sandwich shop. The service is quick and gives you a feel of a hole in the wall on the streets of Rome.

    La Paradiso
    Stephanie B.

    Ok, this place is so hyped but the sandwiches looked amazing and finding a place with mortadella on the menu is hard. The IG hype did not disappoint this time; 100% worth it. The line is long but moves fast, ingredients are fresh and the bread is amazing. I got La Paradiso and it was everything I thought it would be, I absolutely loved it and would get it again. Hopefully once the newness wears off, the lines won't be as bad and you'll actually be able to get a seat inside.

    These sandwiches are great! We ordered the L'Italiana and the La Calvino. Be prepared to wait in line, but service is quick once you get to the counter and place your order. The establishment was clean and bright, and there are a few tables inside for dine-in.

    To start, the sandwiches are a little pricey, but they are very tasty. I have successfully split…read morethem with a friend, and that makes the value more reasonable. But I'm actually writing about the company's website and phone recording. Once, on a prior holiday, and today due to a winter storm, I wasn't sure if the restaurant was open. In both cases (where the restaurant turned out to be closed), the website (appropriately) didn't allow online orders, and (more importantly) THE OUTGOING PHONE RECORDING WAS UPDATED WITH CURRENT INFORMATION. In an era where businesses barely have phone numbers to call, or employees who answer with something other than 'hello', is rare (and by the way, this is the fault of management if they don't properly train their staff). THANK YOU FOR HAVING YOUR SHIT TOGETHER IN COMMUNICATING YOUR HOURS TO THE PUBLIC. I, for one, appreciate it.

It was the gold standard for a real sandwich in the city. Sadly, the magic has faded. Between the soaring prices and the shrinking portions, the value just isn't there anymore. You can taste the "corner-cutting"--the flavors aren't as bold as they used to be, and the sandwiches feel noticeably smaller even though the cost has increased exponentially - I mean $30 for a sammy?! It should have gold in it! Even then, I'd keep coming once in awhile if the service was worth it. but honestly - the staff seems burnt out even bright early in the morning. It's hard to justify the premium price for a shadow of what this place used to be.

We almost felt that we were inconveniencing the workers and the wait time is absurd for in person orders. But I have to give credit when it's due, this was by far one of my favorite sandwiches although they are pricey, you can easily feed a party of four with a nice bag of chips on the side. We were blessed with being able to try the table sandwich. The focaccia was fresh along with the mozzarella and arugula. Since we made an online order which quoted us 45 minutes, our sandwich was ready in 20 so unfortunately, the chicken cutlet was not as fresh as we would've liked. Sidenote, the first day we attempted to order in person they quoted us an hour, so we decided to place an order of the following day. Highly recommend placing the order and staying local to be safe.

While you can order there, it does seem like it takes some time for the sandwiches to be made. There is a sign saying that for the weekends to expect up to an hour wait for your sandwich. That being said, I ordered ahead online and my sandwich was ready when I got there. (This was a Thursday afternoon). I got the vodka chicken Parm after seeing it online and it definitely lives up to the hype. And yes, it is ~$30. The sandwich is huge. It has huge cutlets in it which are very filling, and perfectly made. It ended up being enough for two people, so find a person to share it with! The vodka sauce in the sandwich was sooooo good, definitely one of the best I've found in boston. They also provide you with a whole container of sauce to dip your sandwich into (highly recommend doing that). What lost the star is that I felt there wasn't enough basil. For that huge sandwich, there was actually very few bites with basil. I wish there was more of it, and I also wish there was some other green in there like arugula. Other than that, it's a great sandwich. I'd definitely get this again!

I've eaten here before (it's a small area, but does have a lot of seating) but normally I get it as take out.

The spinach tortellini with the pesto cream sauce is my absolute favorite- it's a HUGE portion and so delicious. It usually lasts me at least 2 meals. The bread they include is also great! I like to dip it in the sauce. The past time I got Dino's I accidentally ordered spinach ravioli instead of tortellini...that was my bad. HOWEVER I think I might have found my new favorite? The raviolis are huge and so fat. I'm talking like 1/2 inch - 3/4 inch thick. There is so much stuffing and the spinach ricotta mix tastes so fresh and delicious...it's a must try. I've also gotten the eggplant parm before, and the fettuccini Alfredo. Both were also delicious. I've never had any of the sandwiches, but if they are anything like their pastas then I'm sure they are great! The bang for your buck here is also great which is nice. Highly recommend!
