    Fantastic. The pizza and sandwiches are terrific. The Brianna club that they made me was gigantic and a good value at the size and quality.

    Ordered pepperoni meatball, got pepperoni and olive. Contacted restaurant twice, no response.

    6/27 placed an order for a large pepperoni and a large pep/meatball pizza. Instead of meatballs we got pepperoni and olives (we don't like olives). Since the order was picked up right before close I wasn't able to go back or call. And then had the task of finding something to feed the people who were anticipating pizza. I remembered I placed my order online, so I sent an email and photo of the $23 inedible pizza hoping for a refund. No response. Followed up on 7/1, again, no response. I understand mistakes happen but am upset that there was no follow up or acknowledgement to either of my efforts to contact them.

    Brianno's has been on my list for a while, and I finally gave it a try...so glad I did! Eagan's best-kept secret until now. As soon as you walk in, you're hit with the most incredible Italian smells. If you weren't hungry before, you definitely will be now. It's a smaller spot that's mostly carry-out with just a few outdoor tables but it was BUSY when I stopped in. The menu has everything from pizzas and deli sandwiches to hot dishes like lasagna and pasta (hot and cold). There's also a little grocery section with frozen meals, sauces, and desserts to take home. While I was waiting, multiple staff members checked in to make sure I was being helped. All were super friendly and attentive even during the dinner rush. I loved how they'd acknowledge when a customer walked in and told them they'd be right with them as soon as they were able to. I ordered the Brianno's Italiano and Club sandwiches (half sizes) and couldn't resist grabbing slices of pistachio and Moscato berry tiramisu. WOW. The sandwiches are meaty and packed with flavor. Heads up: the bread is a bit firmer than most sandwich shops, but I thought it worked really well with the hearty fillings. I cannot wait to return and try the pizza and probably more dessert too! YUMMMM-OOO!

    YUM! This is the best sandwich shop I've tried so far. #YUM. Literally the cutest shop and the nicest employees. Definitely a stop you need.

    Trying to avoid a chain restaurant, and craving a deli experience, this was such a wonderful visit…read morein Saint Paul. Thanks to the staff at Patina for the recommendation! Old school all the way. There's a restaurant in the back, and a full-scale deli counter in the front. It is such a good stop. They have their own private parking lot too. Wood paneling, and a bunch of local reviews all over the walls. Clean, normal sound. Simple, with excellent customer service, and a huge menu that will have something that you like. Packed the midweek afternoon we visited, and we did not wait for a table. Loved my bowl of Matzo Soup, superb broth and the Matzo was delicious. Enjoyed my BLT on whole wheat and the homemade potato salad was amazing! Had a cherry cobbler for dessert that was incredible. Restaurant has been open for over 70 years, and I met the owner/manager, Cecil, afterward, and he just oozes customer service being a priority. It's a must-visit place.

The line for baked goods was also busy but moved quick and wow - I regret not getting any of the baked goods. They looked phenomenal. I had the Leonard Da Vinci which was outstanding. The gardiniera was the perfect level of spice and the sandwich was jam packed with salami and turkey. The Cole slaw was also delicious. The vibe inside is very Eastern European deli authentic which is so fun. They had tons of to go items for sale as well and a huge grab and go beverage selection. The seating area was spacious and packed on a warm spring day.

I received an extremely greasy chili dog (the bottom of the bun was stained orange as if it was literally just sitting in grease, I had to tear the entire bottoms off. The chili was COMPLETELY flavorless with a non meat like chew, thats really as far as I can explain that one. It was like there, but tasted and disintegrated as if it wasn't. As well as, everything generally just came out as if it had been sitting around, it was cold and a bit stale. I also ordered a "THE FARMER" from their breakfast menu, and though this was better and a little fresher, the potatoes were still cold and mostly uneatable. So, inna nutshell I haven't tried everything, but this isn't the first time a meal I've had from there came out subpar. Price to quality food ratio id have to rate it like a 2-3, the hotdog was 8 dollars and "the farmer" was around 13-14. With that in mind, to have points where I am genuinely STRUGGLING through my meal is crazy. I would have to rate my overall experience between a 3 - 4 outta 10. If you don't mind a cool store and a gamble check it out !

At lunch,…read morethere can be a mad rush for their classic roast beef sandwich, but the staff handles the crowd with efficiency and detail. I was on the street in front of Clancy's when one of their customers was mis-identified as an officer of an organization that was terrorizing Minneapolis. It had nothing to do with Clancy's! As I tried to get to my car, people yelled the most obscene and disgusting epitaphs at the couple in front of me. I was just walking down Grand Avenue. They were even spitting at this innocent individual. As a liberal who marched for civil rights and against the war in Vietnam during the 1960s and 1970s, I was horrified. Blaming Clancy's is ignorant, and an integral part of how this country is dismantling. Clancy's Meats & Fish is important to our neighborhood, and represents the kindness and empathy that has been representative of Minnesota for decades. Give them your support.

    I read about Clancey's and we decided to give it a try for lunch. There are two parts to…read moreClancey's. On one side is a meat market with a variety of cuts of steaks, lamb, and other meats, which all looked fresh and quite nice. They also have a variety of items such as canned goods, pasta, eggs, etc. on the shelves opposite the meat counter. The entire place is quite sunny, pleasant, and cozy. On the other side is the eat-in, take-out deli sandwiches, that are made to order. The quality of the ingredients is excellent. The bread is freshly made (crispy baguette type) and you have a choice of Roast Beef, Roast Turkey, Tuna Salad, Smoked Ham, or Corned Beef. All sandwiches are $16.50 each (including tax) and come with a choice of mayonnaise, spicy stone ground mustard, red leaf lettuce, thin sliced red onion, salt, pepper, oil, vinegar, raw grated horseradish, pickled jalapeno, and roasted bell pepper. The default includes all toppings so if you don't want everything, be sure to specify what you do NOT want. Surprisingly, they do not carry any diet soda, nor do they stock any national brands (only local pop). There is a large menu on the wall, and you order at the counter and pick up the order (no table service). The food was attractively presented, and very, very good. My only gripe (besides the lack of diet pop) is that it's on the expensive side for lunch. Two sandwiches, a couple of bags of chips, and a couple of cans of pop will easily top $40, although I'd say the quality is top-notch.
