Steve G.

4.5 stars. There are a couple of tables, but think of this place as a takeout/pickup spot, as it's super busy, noisy. A Florence, Italy import that's getting a lot of attention. Yes, does remind me of places in Italy, where qualityof ingredients is paramount, bread important, etc. It's a fast paced place, and the line moves quickly... they have it down. I wanted to love fall in love with it, but have to say, the two I tried did not blow me away. I liked LA SUMMER Proscuitto, Mozzerella, Tomato, Basil better than their top selling FAVOLOSA made with salame toscana, pecorino cream, artichoke cream, and spicy eggplant. Think next time I will try the VENICE BEACH Turkey, tomato, mozzarella. The sandwiches are huge, more like 2 sandwiches, so pricing is fine. RECOMMENDED

I have been to a couple of All'Antico Vinaio chains in Italy during my trip. This restaurant was my go-to place for quick grab-and-go on my trip. The Quality of the product is almost the same as in Italy. The quality of the sandwich is great, but it did not feel the same to me. The service was fabulous; the staff was friendly and assisted my friend, who was visiting the chain for the first time.

I've been to the All'Antico Vinaio in New York and wanted to try this location in Boston. The line moved pretty quickly and I got the la schiacciata del boss. The truffle and prosciutto go so well together, and the bread was perfectly toasted. It is an expensive sandwich, though I usually get two meals out of it. It'd also be nice to be able to have some addons, like more veggies!

There were more tables than expected, but it does feel more like a takeout place, as other reviews said. Sitting outside was nice. The ordering process was simple, and we got our food quickly. The Italiano and La Summer were good. We both would eat there again if we were in the area at lunchtime but would try something different.

Got the Italiana. It had Prociutto, stracciatella, sun dried tomatoes, arugula, and pistacio cream. The sweet and creaminess from the pistachio cream, the saltiness from the prosciutto, and the arugula and sundried tomatoes helped prevent it from being too heavy. I thought everything was quite balanced. The sandwich was about $21. Which I thought was reasonable because it was big enough to feed two people. There werent much of a wait when I was there, so service was quick. You order at the counter and they make your sandwich. Just tell them what you want and Bada Bing, Bada boom: you got your sandwich in a couple of minutes. They have seating inside and out. It was a nice day so my gf and I decided to do a picnic outside on the grass at the Boston Common. Nothing like enjoying a nice sandwich and watching all the sketchy weirdos walking around.

Life is short..F...it up ! Family, Flavor, Friends Was in Boston for the day, sindenit was on my list decided to walk over. No line which was good. For the Boss and fabulouso. Both were tasty and good quality cut meats. The spicy plant was a pleaser umami with a lil kick. For some reason one bread was soft while the other was hard. Don't forget to add the olive oil in the bread before taking a bite. Overall a high quality sandwich worth checking out. Would inwait an hour in line hmmmmm

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.

Opened 4 days ago!

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!

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!

L'Italiano: lacking in meat
Boston F.

Got the L'Italiano and The Italian Hot. We asked for no nduja, but it was still added to the sandwich. While both sandwiches tasted good, they were severely lacking in meat and felt like a complete ripoff for the price. The sandwiches are also overpriced. Two sandwiches and two drinks came to about $50, which is hard to justify. Decent flavor, but poor execution and terrible value. Not worth the hype.

La Broadway
Lindsay D.

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.

Joanie L.

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.

Drashti T.

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.

The Italian Sub recommended by ChatGPT, originated in 1995. The place claims to provide the best…read moreItalian sub in Boston, and it truly was excellent. Italian Sub: $20 for a foot long, the meat was so plentiful it's almost overflowing, enough for two meals. The prisciutto was tender and juicy; the salami was firm and savory with a strong smokiness. Both are thinly sliced, so despite the thick stack, it was relatively easy for a bite. The provolone cheese was also generously portioned, with a robust yet not spicy flavor and a subtle nutty aroma, perfectly complementing the two meats. The olive oil and balsamic vinegar were particularly outstanding: mellow, tangy, and with a fruity aroma of grapes, key to the complex flavor profile. The lettuce, tomatoes, and onions were all fresh, especially the onions were refreshing and a little zingy, perfect for removing the greasiness. Unfortunately, I was worried about not being able to roll it back up properly and making it inconvenient to carry (which it actually happened), so I took it away and ate it at the office. After about 40 minutes, the bread had become somewhat dry and hard.

We walked into a simple counter-service space with limited indoor seating, the kind of place that feels more like a grab-and-go stop than a sit-down lunch spot. Even with its small footprint, there was a steady stream of customers coming in for one of the signature sandwiches, and the energy of the room stayed practical and focused on getting orders out efficiently. The lobster roll is the clear standout. We ordered one and found it generously filled with lobster meat, making it feel substantial compared to many other lobster rolls around the city. Whether you choose it hot with butter or cold with mayo, the focus stays on the lobster itself rather than overwhelming it with extra ingredients. The toasted roll added just enough texture without taking away from the filling. Although the lobster roll gets most of the attention, the rest of the menu offers plenty of options if seafood is not what you are looking for. There are oversized sandwiches, soups like clam chowder, and classic sides that make it easy to find something for different tastes. The portions are generous overall, making the prices feel reasonable considering the amount of food you receive. The service was quick and efficient, which fits the fast-paced counter-service concept. The staff moved through orders with speed, and the food came out without much delay. The biggest thing to keep in mind is the limited seating, especially during lunch hours or peak tourist seasons in the North End. If the dining area is full, taking your food to go or finding a nearby outdoor spot can be a better option. Overall, Pauli's is a great stop if you are looking for a satisfying lobster roll without an overly formal seafood restaurant experience. The generous portions, straightforward menu, and convenient location make it an easy place to visit while exploring the North End, especially if lobster rolls are at the top of your list.

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 cafe itself is super casual, it's the perfect place to pop into during lunch or after a walk. My food is always ready on time which is nice, and when I've eaten there I'm usually able to find a seat. 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! Dinos is awesome! And the staff is very kind too (Note that the pic is taken from a train, I like to treat myself to Dino's before catching the Amtrak)

Every search for…read morebreakfast spots mentioned Mike & Patty's as a must stop for the best breakfast sandwich you're going to get anywhere. Enough said! I'm a huge breakfast fanatic, especially a good breakfast sandwich or burrito. This is the original location that was started by two friends and has grown to multiple other locations since. We took an Uber here from our hotel. I imagine if you drive over here, parking will be a challenge. It's almost easy to miss. It sits on a corner of a brick building with just writing on the windows. In all my research I did not catch that it is the smallest restaurant in Boston at only 175 square feet. It's basically a room with most of the space taken by the tiny kitchen. There's also a little tiny ledge on the window with a couple of stools for those who may want to dine in. Customers including us took turns walking in and putting in our orders and then stepping out to make room for more people. It had a steady line the whole time we were there. Hours are limited from 7:30-2 so don't delay. Customer service was straight business, kind of the norm in Boston. Their menu is breakfast sandwiches, a couple of burritos and some lunch options like a turkey sandwich, BLT, or a Rueben. For sides, they have hashbrowns or a plain English muffin. For a small menu, they do have quite a few drink options like coffee, tea, juices, and different flavored milks including banana milk which I have never seen. For their food, they use high quality ingredients from local farms and purveyors and have their own bakery for their bread. My eyes fixated on the Breakfast Grilled Crack mainly for the name, but also all the ingredients looked tasty. It was quality eggs, bacon, four cheeses on sourdough bread. I went extra and added sausage to it as well. I also got OJ to wash it down. We realized our only option to eat comfortably was to go back to our hotel lobby to eat. Even with the travel time, the sandwich was nice and warm and the bread was still nice and crispy from the griddle. This sandwich was indeed one of the best breakfast sandwiches I have ever had. I almost felt guilty eating it because of how rich and cheesy it was. I would skip the hash brown next time. It did not travel well nor did it have anything special going on with it. Hands down one of my favorite meals of the trip that I would absolutely do again if I am in the area.
