In my senior year of college, I took an art trip to Italy. We spent days exploring the finest…read morecathedrals, churches and museums that Rome and Florence had to offer. But what I remember most of all is the food, particularly ducking into a little shop off a piazza somewhere to grab whatever I could buy and eat while we walked to our next sightseeing destination--a pastry, a slice of pizza, or a sandwich. At Alveo, I almost feel like I'm right back there. The restaurant is small and lively, not a place to linger exactly but a place where you can tell you'll be taken care of. Just as many patrons are ordering to go as they are to stay. And the sandwiches? Good enough to power many, many steps of sightseeing across cobblestones, or just get you through the afternoon at your home or office in Cincinnati. They've absolutely nailed the ingredients on every sandwich I've tried, with high-quality components selected specifically for how they go together. (Like those little sandwich shops in Europe, there are no substitutions here--unless you'd like gluten free bread.) The bread? Unreal how it can hold these constructions together while being soft and delicious. The meats? Perfection. The cheese? Incredible. That pistachio stuff? I see it in my dreams. The one area where Alveo definitely deviates from its European brethren is portion size--these sandwiches are huge! They come in a paper wrapper, inside a to-go box, and believe me, you will probably need it. Each time I've been to Alveo I've ended up eating about half the sandwich for lunch and the rest for dinner, maybe with a snack in between, and felt perfectly satisfied for the day. So, yes, the $20+ price tag might discourage you, but don't let it. It's a $20 investment in a very, very delicious day.

Delicious sandwich shop! I'm happy they're in the neighborhood. I had La Rustica and it was…read moreincredible. My dad came with me to order and he got the Piccante. We both enjoyed our sandwiches. They look huge but they are easily eaten in one sitting. The interior has some seating and a counter to order. You can also see your sandwich being made. The employees are so kind, too! Be aware of their schedule and hours. I'm happy to see the success and popularity of Alveo Sandwich Shop!

We were the only customers and it was still kind of slow service. Not the kitchen - the food came out fairly quickly. Servers tend to just linger in the bar area. But she was friendly and helpful when we had her attention. I had the Kick'n Chicken Sandwich, breaded. My daughter had the BBQ Chicken Wrap, breaded. It comes with chips and we stuck with that. The chicken was a bit dry. It wasn't burnt. It just needed a little less time in the fryer. The flavor was ok but the dryness made the chicken a little tough. Otherwise, it would've been good. We may stop in again and try other things on the menu.
