    Mortadella Sandwich
    Brian C.

    My ongoing sandwich quest continues... Stopped in with a colleague for lunch. It's a relatively unassuming place, but simple works when the food is good. I ordered the Mortadella sandwich while my buddy went with the Prosciutto di Parma. Honestly both sandwiches sounded good as did a couple of the others. The sandwich was really good. No frills just a very solid sandwich. They have cans of soda in a fridge toward the back and I was happy to have Diet Coke with the sandwich. Service was friendly and it wasn't a long wait for food since they were all that busy. Overall, a good sandwich!

    Hands down the best italian sandwiches we had so far. We were craving for italian sandwiches and specifically drove here after a quick google search. We got in right after it was open so we probably the first customer of the day. Guys working were really cool and nice. And the spot is really chill. What we got: Prosciutto di parma (4.5/5) Really good. Plenty of prosciutto and mozzarela. Nicely done. Nduja sandwich (5/5) This is delicious!. Like its really good!! Plenty of flavor packed between two warm foccacia. It was a big sandwich and i was able to finish it plus half of the prosciutto sandwich. Overall We were very happy to have found this spot.

    Table, with four sandwiches on it (Two Nduja Sandwiches, Kid's Grilled Cheese, Vegan or Vegetarian Sandwich, Caprese Salad, and Cannoli).

    Came back because I enjoyed it so much the first time and decided to try some more menu items! Got the Nduja Sandwich again, which I so enjoyed last time, as well as the Caprese Salad (which was so fresh and delicious while still being simple, which really goes to show the quality of the ingredients used here), the Kid's Grilled Cheese, Vegetarian Sandwich (which contained some of the most delicious artichoke hearts I've ever had) and of course, a cannoli for dessert, which the owner prepared for us at the end of the meal so that we could eat it at its freshest! The food was served quickly, the workers are all very kind, and the new location is really beautiful -- the Maradona shrine is an excellent touch. It's always a pleasure to share such good food with friends, so I'm sure I'll be back soon!

    Transported to Italy for lunch today Stopped by @bottegagabriele in Pioneer Square, just steps from the ferry dock, and honestly forgot I was in Seattle for a minute. Italian voices everywhere, shelves lined with beautiful pasta, olives, olive oils, and incredible imported goods--it felt like a tiny Italian market dropped right into the city. The sandwich was unreal: NDUJA - $19.50 Capocollo, salami, nduja, olive & tomato tapenade, artichoke, and fresh pecorino on freshly made focaccia. Spicy, rich, savory, and perfectly balanced. One of those sandwiches you think about long after the last bite. If you love indulgent Italian sandwiches, this one's a must. #12DaysOfSandwiches.

    Mortadella Sandwich

    Enjoyed our two sandwiches. We had the Mortadella with ricotta, lemon zest, arugula, and that special subtle spicy sauce hot Calabrian honey. The Pancetta with burrata, pecorino, roasted walnuts, balsamic glaze, and arugula was sooo yummy too! The bread was crisp and soft. The service and the restaurant have a very Italian feel to it. We will come back again!

    I really enjoyed Bottega Gabriele. It has a very unassuming storefront in Pioneer Square but I promise, their sandwiches are authentic! They ship ingredients from Italy and you can really tell. My friends and I got the Nduja Sandwich, the Mortadella Sandwich, and the Pancetta Sandwich (asked for no walnuts and they happy complied). The Mortadella was hands down my fav, the hot honey and ricotta go so well together. The Pancetta was nice as well, the burrata's creaminess really made it all come together. I was pretty excited for the Nduja since Eater wrote about it, but I felt like it was just fine. The tapenade&artichokes convinced me of the authenticity of the recipe; but I don't think I was a fan of hot and cold ingredients together. Overall though the bread was fantastic, I think it was a focaccia that was just so crispy. The portion size is great and the wait time on a weekend was not too long. Would definitely come back!

    We dropped by Bottega Gabriele for a Friday lunch just after New Years, hoping to score what were promised to be some of the best focaccia sandwiches in the city. The interior is interesting - it's kind of modern homey, with bric-a-brac displayed on shelves around the room and LVP on the floors, but yet a bit industrial, with a refrigerated meat and cheese display in the center. It's all a bit discordant, but does seem like what family owned cafe in Italy would look like. Mortadella Sandwich ($18.50) - The focaccia is is on the breadier side with a harder baked crust rather than the crisp oil-laden fried crust many other places serve (in fact, there's no oil whatsoever here). There's still a softness on the interior that helps to encapsulate the ingredients. It's cut in half and first slathered with a thick layer of ricotta. The cheese is heavy on the tongue, cloying, sickly fatty, and only occasionally punctuated by a sweet and spicy heat from the hot honey. Mortadella, sliced thin, is placed atop the cheese. The thickness of the cheese layer is easily twice or perhaps even three times as much as the meat. As a result, while mortadella typically has a savory spiced pork flavor and is studded with nutty pistachio, the flavors are muddled by the onslaught of ricotta. The ingredients lists lemon zest, which other reviews note gives a special zing to the sandwich to balance out some of the fat. Even knowing it's there, I couldn't discern a single hint of zestiness. Looking at other photos, I don't see nearly as thick of a layer of cheese and further examining, I note that Bottega Gabriele has major consistency issues. Just take a look at the photos uploaded here on Yelp. In some sandwiches, mortadella, ricotta, and arugula are placed in that order in between the bread. In others, it's mortadella, arugula, and ricotta. And in my case, it's ricotta, mortadella, and arugula. And then note that some photos, there's more arugula than both meat and cheese combined. In some, there's more mortadella than greens and ricotta. And in others, like in my sandwich, there's way more cheese than meat. Consistency in both balance of ingredients and order of ingredients really does matter for sandwich construction and unfortunately Bottega Gabriele doesn't pass muster. (3/5) Pancetta Sandwich ($19) - This is another sandwich with construction issues. In this case, there's the bottom slice of bread, followed by a drizzle of sweet balsamic, the meat, a layer of greens, then the burrata, walnuts, more balsamic, a hard wedge of pecorino (one per sandwich half), and finally the top slice of focaccia. The major issue here is the placement of the veggies and cheese. The soft and creamy burrata is needed to essentially 'glue' the harder walnuts and the pecorino to the rest of the sandwich. Unfortunately with it touching the bed of arugula, everything basically slides out as soon as the sandwich is lifted off the plate. I'm am not exaggerating when I say that upon lifting up my half for the first bite, the entire half of burrata and pecorino/walnuts slid out onto the plate. In my case, the buratta is a relatively small piece (compared to the size of the bread), centered in the sandwich before being cut in half. I couldn't really find the exterior mozzarella layer, so it's possible that it's actually stracciatella. It's rich and creamy and is better balanced here with the other flavors of the sandwich compared to the mortadella. The thinly sliced pancetta on the bottom is wavy and ribbon-like. Some of it, especially along the edges of the sandwich is crisped up and becomes almost bacon-like in taste and texture. The bread in this sandwich is toasted for far longer than for the mortadella. It gives a hard crisp throughout and really did a number on my hard palate while eating. And it doesn't do any favors to help cradle the ingredients, with the hardness increasing shear force, causing the interior to sputter out with every bite. I think the flavors are a little better balanced in this sandwich, albeit possibly leaning a bit too much into the very sweet balsamic glaze, but the construction really drags my rating down. (3/5) I can tell that Bottega Gabriele uses high quality ingredients for their sandwiches. I wouldn't say they are necessarily bad, but when I eat a sandwich, I expect to be able to eat it with my hands and not have to scrounge half the ingredients off the plate to stuff back in while eating. I also think they really need to really need to standardize their sandwich construction and think about how to better balance the ingredients. They have a 4.8 on Yelp and a 4.9 on Google, not to mention that I've never visited Italy before, so perhaps I'm the one that has the wrong expectations. On the other hand, according to the owners, they were in the process of moving to a different building so perhaps some consistency issues were from moving preparations.

    Saw this place on social media, and I instantly saved it to my Seattle trip itinerary! I've never been to Italy but it definitely felt like I was there. We ordered the Mortadella sandwich, and it's one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. It came out in less than 10 minutes, and it was big enough for two to share (a light bite). We enjoyed our sandwich outside. There's limited seating outside. There's lots of seating inside, but somehow it was hotter inside than outside?

    I had been meaning to try this place for months. I ordered via Grubhub because I was trying to catch the water taxi and planned on eating on the boat. When I arrived, all of the tables were taken, but my food was ready. And they actually read my request in the order (which restaurants don't always do, so much appreciated)! But I should probably start talking about the food, because that's the main reason why anyone reads restaurant reviews. I opted for the mortadella. Oh my, it was so good! All the flavors come together beautifully and balance each other out perfectly - the spice from the hot honey, the acidity from the lemon zest, the creaminess of the ricotta, and the delicate meatiness of the mortadella. And the focaccia tasted fresh. Will definitely be back to try some of the other sandwiches! And explore the marketplace. Tip: the sandwiches are on the bigger side, so ask them to cut it in half.

    Was in Pioneer Square this afternoon and picked up a couple of sandwiches to go. This is an Italian place that is a hidden gem. They have a limited menu. The sandwiches were made with a soft focaccia bread. The ingredients on each sandwich was fresh and bursting with flavors. The decor is not fancy but it is functional. Service was good. Would definitely stop back when in the area.

    I'm adding to their Yelp reviews because I believe strongly in this place. I plan my trips into Seattle so I can make sure and get a sandwich. I need to add the cannolis we had last time were the absolute best! Looking forward to seeing their new location soon and got a preview the other day and the interior looks like it will be even better... Ci vediamo presto! Here is my original review from Google: Just moved back home to the Seattle area from San Diego and am happy to find this place! Close to the Ferry Terminal so we can take the Fast Ferry over for a sandwich anytime! I had the special as you can see in the photo and it was fresh and delicious. Will be back soon. (Grazie di nuovo per il caffè!)

    What a terrific sandwich shop! Lovely interior with an appetizing display case of ingredients, as well as items for purchase. Tuna, oils, pastes, and pastas. The owners are from Italy and absolutely charming, service is fast. But the sandwiches.... Oh my. I ordered a pancetta amd my friend ordered the mortadella, so we could go halvsies. Sandwiches are on the large size, so this is the way to go if you really want to appreciate the full flavor. (Sometimes when you share a sandwich, your half is only two bites...) Perfect ratio of focaccia to filling, and the fillings were distributed evenly inside. Bread is fluffy amd lightly toasted. The pancetta was warmed on the grill, the burrata was creamy, and the arugula was lightly dressed. Delish. Thé mortadella was fantastic. The ricotta with lemon zest added a brightness to the sandwich, and the hot honey added just the right amount of zing. I'm already planning to return to try the tuna and the nduja sandwiches. This place will be on rotation!

    Located in Pioneer square, we went to grab pick up on a Saturday. Glad they're open Saturdays because weekdays would have never worked. A no frills spot, plenty of seating and tables, order at the counter. I ordered to go, easy peasy. The sandwiches were in two separate containers. Huge! I opted for the top two rec, mortadella and nduja. Tbh I probably should have tried something else besides nduja but that's okay. It was very olive-y and if you love olives this is for you. The mortadella was great though - sweet, spicy, creamy, meaty. I'll definitely be back to try the other sandwiches. $20 for a sandwich is pretty hefty but I was so full I barely ate dinner.

    Many bites in (6/3/25)

We ate our sandwiches there as the place has good seating, is clean and airy, and the sandwiches are really tasty when they're freshly toasted or pressed.

This mall was packed...! even after the holiday season, so if you can strategize parking on the fly as you drive in, you should be fine ;) When I walked in, there was hardly a line but a couple in front of me & some people dining along the windows. Theres no signage but start the opposite end of the cash registers to go through a line similar to Chipotle or Panda Express. After several of us lined up, some of the staff came out to get our orders. They have a lot of great choices which I had difficulty narrowing down but ended up with the Chicken Pesto Parm. So good! I appreciated the overall variety of flavor, like the sauteed seasoned broccoli as well as the heated up quinoa and amount of parm, pesto, & hot sauce added so much to what would be 'just' a salad. The side of sourdough bread was great addition as well.

    SWEETGREENS @ KIRKLAND…read more This was my first time visiting Sweetgreen in Kirkland, located in Totem Lake. Totem Lake is a great area to explore, with plenty of shops, restaurants, and even a movie theater all within walking distance. It's a nice spot if you're looking to spend some time around the Kirkland area. I've heard a lot about Sweetgreen, so I was excited to finally give it a try. The concept reminded me a lot of Chipotle since you can choose your base, protein, toppings, and sauces to create your own bowl. They also offer a variety of signature bowls if you don't want to build your own. Options included bowls with pesto, steak, and other combinations already put together for you. Unfortunately, my first impression wasn't the best. The staff didn't seem very friendly, and everything felt rushed. Since my dad and I were both first time customers, we weren't exactly sure what to order. It felt like we were being hurried through the line rather than being helped. For my bowl, I chose quinoa, romaine lettuce, and chicken. They had temporarily run out of chicken, but thankfully a fresh batch came out after only a few minutes, which I appreciated. I also noticed that the tables inside were pretty dirty, so we decided to sit outside instead. The outdoor seating was much more enjoyable anyway. As for the food, I thought it was good overall. I liked that everything tasted fresh and seemed to be made with wholesome ingredients. The vegetables were crisp, and the bowl felt healthy and filling. My biggest complaint was the chicken. It wasn't seasoned very much and tasted pretty plain, so I found myself relying on the sauce to add flavor to the meal. Overall, the food was decent, but the customer service and cleanliness left a lot to be desired. I don't think I would return to this particular location, but I'd be willing to give another Sweetgreen a try in the future, especially to test out some of their wraps or other menu options.
