    Clearly they have cold sandwiches

    Made my finances sandwich hot. She ordered a turkey and salami. She asked for it to be remade cold and the lady told her no she doesn't do cold sandwiches. To Overpriced to be rude. 3.50 cents for a Kirkland water as well.

    Rick the rock

    Met my husband for a quick lunch date to try this new spot! I had no idea they even existed but online it showed they were highly rated! The place is small and seemed to have only one person working the register and making the food. Figured it made sense since we were the only people at the restaurant. My husband ordered and a sandwich and so did I. Mine was the Rick the Rock. I asked if it was possible to have ham instead of turkey which he said isn't a problem. We sat outside when the order was ready the person running the place yelled across the counter it's ready for us to grab it. Caught me by surprise that he couldn't even bring it to the table. When I looked at my sandwich the ham looked light and I wanted to make sure it wasn't turkey so I double checked. His response was "didn't you ask for ham? I gave you ham why are you asking me again?" I was beyond thrown off by how rude his customer service was. The only reason why I would give this place 3 stars is because they come completely loaded with goodies and are delicious but over $50 for 2 sandwiches is so expensive!!!!

    FRIDAY I'M IN LOVE
    Jon Z.

    Not gonna mess around with this review. This was simply one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. Driving through Livermore looking for a good sandwich, and yelp recommendations came through for me! This place (obviously) has great reviews so I decided to go. And it certainly meets the hype The staff was very friendly--I let them know it's my first time there so I needed a bit of time to look over the menu--and they were very helpful letting me know the options. I got the Friday I'm In Love and it was amazing. Great size, absolutely packed with meat, amazing flavor. This was a 10/10. The garlic spread was delicious, the slaw was seasoned very well, and everything was very fresh and flavorful. Dutch crunch also had great texture. My only possible complaint was that the meat wasn't very evenly distributed as you can see in the pic, but that's a very minor complaint. To reiterate, this was one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. Unfortunately I'm not very close to Livermore, but anytime I'm close by in the future, I absolutely want to stop by again. I highly, highly recommend this place for a sandwich!

    Lack of food

    I hired Americano Catering to cater my wedding on June 28, 2026, and unfortunately, it was one of the most disappointing parts of an otherwise wonderful day. Prior to the wedding, I confirmed with the owner that they would arrive between 10:15 and 10:30 a.m. so everything would be set up before cocktail hour. I also paid for a service attendant, buffet setup, professional buffet styling, serving equipment, and food service. Instead, the caterer arrived about an hour late. Because they weren't prepared, appetizers and drinks were served about 45 minutes late, and lunch was delayed by approximately an hour. My venue staff had to step in by providing serving equipment and helping with food service just to keep the reception moving. the gather statement.pdf To make matters worse, there wasn't enough food for all of my guests, and several of the taco bar condiments and toppings that were supposed to be included were missing or unavailable. This left some guests without the full meal that had been promised. As a bride, I should have been enjoying time with my family and friends instead of worrying about whether my guests were being fed. It was incredibly stressful and disappointing. After the wedding, I reached out to the owner in an attempt to resolve the issue, but I never received a response. Sent _ iCloud Mail.pdf I rarely leave negative reviews, but I believe couples deserve to know what my experience was. Weddings are once-in-a-lifetime events, and reliability, preparation, and communication are essential. Unfortunately, my experience with Americano Catering did not meet those expectations.

    Californian on Sourdough ($18.25, 2/5 stars)
    Melanie H.

    You know how bread makes or breaks a sandwich? It was a total miss here. The sourdough was so soggy and lacked sourness so it was really bland. Initially I thought maybe the bread was soggy because of my very loaded Californian sandwich, but we ordered another sandwich that didn't come with slaw or cheese and removed sauce, and even THAT one was still soggy. I even tried retoasting the bread but to no avail because it still tasted far from sourdough. Really wanted to like this place and support a local business. I had high expectations for the quality given the prices and ratings. I'll give it to them that they use quality deli meat and have a fun menu with homemade sauces, hopefully they can continue to improve. One thing to note is you can't sub for a different sauce. PASS: + Californian ($18.25, 2/5 stars) felt very overwhelming to me with flavors mixing from the heavily vinegared slaw, Swiss, and garlic herb sauce

    Solid sandwich shop in Livermore - we stopped by earlier this month after going paddle boarding nearby at Shadow Cliffs. We were seated right away, but they were understaffed and it took them a long time to take our order. When the server finally stopped by, we ordered drinks, appetizers and a few sandwiches, which arrived soon after. Our favorites: - The Americano: superb classic Italian sandwich. - Philly Cheesesteak: our teen enjoyed this. - BLTA: get this on Dutch Crunch! The appetizers (jalapeño poppers, arancini) and sides (onion rings, fries) were either under or overdone, but the sandwiches more than made up for it. Doing takeout next time.

    Alexi makes THE BEST sandwiches. They were warm, made fast and overall worth the drive. I want to return to try more sandwiches from here. It is the best sandwich place I've ever gone to. Alexi has amazing customer service and is very efficient.

    Crossed out
    Peter P.

    Most terrible service I walk in and he is forcing to take our order. We wanted calamari and he said we have no calamari, pasta, or chicken. 'It sure why it's on the kiosk to order on your own. They advertise this place to have pasta also but I got here and sat down noticing that there signs for what they have are crossed out. Tf is this place $50 for terrible sandwiches. See all these awards but for what lmao. Took him 20 minutes to make 2 sandwiches.

    The Famous AMERICANO Sandwich!!!

The Ambiance is stunning! Feels like a family home when you walk in! We love the next renovated aesthetics!

    Is it worth the $$$? Not to me. The sandwich was just ok. I had the King Kong, Hubby had the chicken parmesan with a lemonade and a side of fries, our total was $55. The fries were tasty. If it had been a huge sandwich, busting with ingredients,tasty, not thrown together and big enough to share....maybe. Perhaps their italian dishes are great, but I won't be finding out. Service was good..but the bathroom had a horrible smell, like sewage.

    We were out in Livermore shopping at the outlets and wanted to grab some dinner. Italian was the theme and Americano was the choice. I chose Americano because of it won an award with the SJ Mercury. What I didn't realize was it won for their sandwiches. LOL. What do you do when it's dinner time and you go to a place known for its sandwiches? Order pasta. And if you haven't had pasta at Americano, you should!!!! The tetrazzini was fantastic. It is a baked dish with chicken, cheese and fettuccine. Just a delicious combo. The portion is large so deintiely shareable with two people. We also had the Rigatoni Bolognese (also a shareable portion). The bolognese was touted as homemade and you could tell. Bolognese is really about the time you give for the meats, tomato sauce and herbs meld together. And I can tell this one wa made with care. The place itself is mall with maybe a capacity max of 30-40. There was one server last night and she was busy. This place has nonstop sandwich orders to go. There was a constantly folks coming for food deliveries and to go orders. Our order took a little time but I could tell both pasta dishes were made to order, so I didn't mind. The sit down ambiance was very relaxed and homey in style. It's too bad Americano is all the way in Livermore, I'd deintiely want to try their sandwiches.

    Does the meatballs and lasagna have pork in it?

    Do you have a "special menu," with proceeds going to humanitarian aid in Ukraine?? If so, would you post a copy?

    The Olive Market is a must-try..Believe the HYPE! I saw this place getting a lot of attention on…read moresocial media and I had to see it for myself. First of all, the ambience of this shop is really cool. They have a bunch of specialty grocery items all around the store of stuff that I've never seen before. The staff was super friendly and everyone really seemed passionate of what they were doing. It gave off a homey/cozey vibe. The sandwiches my wife and I tried were the Loaded Market Special, Market Special and the Padrino. Everything was well put together and all the ingredients complemented one another. Our favorite out of the 3 was the loaded Market Special. If you like a little spice I would highly recommend trying this one. The lettuce and sauce balanced out the saltiness of the pastrami and the bread was fresh. The cheese was nice and gooey and gave off a perfect pull. The size of the sandwich was perfectly sized. Not too big and not too small. If you're on a time crunch I'd recommend ordering ahead on the phone as they can get a little busy.

Unfortunately, we were pretty disappointed with our experience. We ordered the exact same sandwiches we had seen featured on TikTok, but what we received looked noticeably different and honestly wasn't nearly as impressive. The sandwiches were fine, but for the price, I expected a lot more, especially after seeing what was advertised online. I also found the experience at the sandwich counter a little underwhelming. I've seen several Yelp reviews mention how welcoming and friendly the staff are, but that unfortunately wasn't my experience. No one acknowledged me at the counter, even though they weren't particularly busy at the time. It just didn't feel very welcoming. Overall, I don't feel like the price reflects what you actually get in person. Maybe we caught them on an off day, but based on this experience, I probably wouldn't go back.

The food and drink menu is fairly extensive, and prices are on the moderate side, so it's worth taking a look at all of your options to find something that fits your taste and appetite. Everything I've tried so far has been tasty, satisfying, and filling. If you're dining in and order their house drip coffee, they provide a coffee mug, and the coffee is self-serve along with the available extras. If you decide to take your drip coffee to go, just keep in mind that they only offer one size of to-go cup, and it's not particularly large. If you prefer a bigger cup of coffee, you may be a little disappointed. The staff have always been friendly, welcoming, and professional during my visits. With all of the other options available in Livermore, this is definitely a place worth checking out if you're looking for a good spot downtown to grab some food and a drink.
