    Sandwich
    Brandi C.

    This place is underrated! Better than the sub shops I've tried around, fresh bread and it comes with their homemade Macaroni salad! I got the Italian with oil and the oil did not make the bread soggy which is always a problem I've had, you can also get this with hots (which I could rarely find in sub shops these days), I noticed they have ice cream and shakes so it would be cute to visit in the summer! The atmosphere of this place is also very cute and homey, the man working there was so kind which is unusual for sub shops in this area, highly recommend!

    The presentation was just fine!

    This place is horrible. Food was abysmal and the shop owner was rude to boot. The inside is a dank little closed shoe closet.

    I really did not expect it to include some very delicious macaroni salad.

When I got the text -went inside at the counter for pick up, the woman was not helpful. ( Rudely told me to find my tray by using my paper receipt. ) The drink bar was disorganized, a long line. The teen-ages in front took the lemonade, stopped and drank half a cup then refilled, their cup right there, thus holding up the long line. There was separate ice but the kids tipped the lemonade so plastic ice holder was slanted inside the holder. I noticed the drip bowl was overflowing and lemonade was spilled all over the counter. I proceeded outside to eat at the tables and chairs, but all 10 tables were full (some with just 2 people and 6 chairs. ) So I crossed to the other side with open 10 tables - two young girls told me to leave. A private party inside had 1/2 hour left. Yet, I noticed that not anyone was outside at all. They said the 10 blue umbrella space was paid for , even if not being used - so leave. The cafe could have used that lovely new blue umbrellas 10 extra outside seating area, (as cafe was extremely busy and weather was splendid. ) I retreated back to the cafe outside area, and stood up to eat. I noticed the concrete was broken, sticks everywhere and the umbrellas on this side were not secured well , thus blowing in the breeze. The nice private other side of the deck remained unoccupied with the extra -10 blue umbrellas at the tables closed off for the rest of the afternoon. Still closed and totally unoccupied even after the time was up. (The private party apparently choice to remain inside. ) Meanwhile, cafe side remained crowded. Food was expensive $16 for a salad. $4.25 for lavender lemonade. Not the Best experience. The view was lovely.

There's a pretty good sized menu, and everything looked great! You order at the counter, and pick your own seating. Then they call your name once your food is ready, and you go back up to the counter to retrieve it. I had the walnut Crusted Spinach & Gruyere Chicken Roulade Bowl- which came with a generous serving of the chicken, Roasted Tomatoes, Toasted Herbed Pearl Couscous over Farm Greens with a Cider Vinaigrette. It was filling, but not too heavy (perfect)! Will definitely be back!

The star of the show is the sandwich selection, all on a choice of focaccia or seeded roll, with many including stracciatella, a thick, white, creamy, Buratta-like cheese. Almost every item in the store-- from meats to cheeses to drinks to candies and snacks-- is imported from Italy and you can taste the difference. This ain't your daddy's Boar's Head. -- Tutto: Tried on focaccia, with Mortadella, Soppressata, Capicola, Prosciutto, Provolone, Stracciatella Cheese, Tomatoes, Onions, Pickles, Hot Cherry Peppers, and Garden Greens. Very creamy cheese, almost mayoey in texture. It took some adjustment on my first try, but I got used to it quickly. Strong flavors overall. Very enjoyable. -- Matto: Tried (on two different visits) on a grilled seeded roll, this packed Prosciutto, Soppressata, Sharp Provolone, and Hot Cherry Peppers. Bold flavors from the coldcuts, sharp cheese, and perfectly toasted bread, all in the right proportions to enjoy every flavor and texture. This was spectacular and will be a repeat sandwich for many visits to come. Excellent sandwiches. Nice people. Easy ordering via Toast (they don't have a website). Limited hours-- weekday lunches only-- and hard to spot, but in the same parking lot as the convenience store. I'm not an authority on Italian sandwiches but I've had my fair share from the "name" places in and around Boston, and this unknown gem from the outer suburbs ranks right up there with them. Some may argue they charge Boston prices, but for Boston quality without the Boston hassle, well worth it. Solidly in my lunch rotation.

    I dunno what I'm going to say that hasn't been said. I've been coming to Napoli over 16 years for…read moreeverything from a quick breakfast sandwich to full blown corporate catering orders. Positively nothing disappoints. Ever. I can make a dozen recommendations but truly no matter what you get it will not let you down or leave you hungry. Gets crazy for lunch and can be wild on the weekend for pizza but it's 10000000% worth the trouble to get here and the wait. Service is wonderful and if you have the time to sit in and have a meal, do try to. It's very small, very casual and feels like having the best lunch you ever had at your aunties house. As mentioned it's rarely quiet in there so take out is best overall. I recommend calling ahead for sliced deli meats or things like that as they really appreciate that. If you ever see the cherry cobbler in the fridge do not skip it - you'll regret that. Here's the inside tip - there is not a better Caesar salad with chicken this side of the Mississippi. Dead serious about that !!! They have my business for life and possibly beyond. I'll be haunting the place for arancini balls as a ghost.

    I don't know what happened here - this was my "go out of the way for a great Italian sub" place…read more Told 30min before two subs would be ready, which I could accept on a Friday night. When I finally got with the subs the bread was going stale, there was barely any meats or cheese on it. My wife's ham and cheese was way more cheese than ham - and the pickles she was upcharged for were missing until she found them all piled in one section of the sub. Really no clue this was always a good place, but if I have to go out of the way to get this quality it's not worth it.
