    Italian sandwich on French bread
    Michael B.

    Michael B. 7/14/25 The sandwich would have been excellent except that it was made on an extremely stale French bread roll. The ingredients inside were very good quality but the bread was unacceptable.

    Prosciutto Caprese Sandwich
    Frank Y.

    A hearty and versatile Italian takeout spot near Tufts, also located conveniently off I-93 right outside of Boston. What I really enjoy about this spot is that you can get a great cold cut sandwich - I had the Prosciutto Caprese which lasted me for lunch and dinner - as well as various hot dishes, my co worker ordered the lamb and there were various pasta items also. Note that the hot dishes do take a little longer. A timeless traditional spot which still stands out even as trendier spots have popped up nearby.

    Italian Deli Sandwich caprese
    Michelle L.

    Wow the portions are huge! And they prepared it fast! It's in a mart so not really the place to sit down. I recommend the Italian deluxe caprese. Jumbo size was good enough for 2. So much deli meat and everything tasted so fresh! Parking is street parking

    We recently moved to the Waltham area and have been on the hunt for the best spot to get an Italian…read moreSub delivered! After pouring through reviews and local forums, people consistently mentioned D'Agostino's. I decided to give it a try. Everyone was right: It is a great sandwich! I ordered the small, traditional Italian sub. I ordered mine with easy oil/vinegar, tomatoes, hots, lettuce, and mayo. I'm not a fan of raw onions whatsoever. The sub arrived perfectly, fresh not soggy. The sub roll is super soft, yet somehow holds up to the vegetables and condiments! The bread is freshly baked and some of the best bread I've had from a sub spot! The sub was piled generously, yet sliced perfectly thin for a more "airy" bite. This is exactly how I like my sandwich. I am not a fan where it's like biting into a giant, thick slab of meat. Here, the meat is sliced thin and arranged in such a way that every bite is "airy". True sub fabs will know exactly what this means. The closest example to this is the chain, Jersey Mikes. The meats were sliced thin. Arranged perfectly on that pillow-soft sub roll. Veggies were great, fresh and crisp. Juicy tomatoes. Delicious hots that truly make the sandwich! This is our new go-to for subs in Waltham. Next time, I'll try to be more adventurous given they have a plethora of specialty subs. Sometimes, you just crave a solid, OG Original Italian Sub!

    Total mess. Picking up an order that was ordered in advance, people coming in off the street got…read moretheir food first. Very disorganized. Workers literally ignore you.

I haven't seen really good Italian since I left Boston. And I miss it, especially having lived in the north end for the last 20+ years before I left and GrowingUpItalian. Oh, I can cook it, but you can't find the products that you can easily find back home. The person from this place I communicated with is so personable. If their food is half is good it's a definite winner.

    Came here to try the chopped Caesar sub, and for me it did not live up to the hype. First couple…read morebites seemed promising, as the dressing is pretty good, but then I got overwhelmed by the sheer amount of dressing in the sandwich and found myself trying to scrape off gobs of it. They're definitely more heavy handed on the sauce, so request light dressing or have it on the side if you're not lots of dressing. I also found the cutlets to be pretty sparse and dry, and the bread was just not good in texture or flavor. Service was fine, it took 20 mins to come out which was longer than I expected, and the space is small but has some seating. I might sound old, but the music was very loud and abrasive, so I didn't finish the other half of the sandwich and left. For $15 it wasn't my kinda sandwich so I probably won't be back.
