    This place doesn't need the shoutouts or advertisement - both locations are great, and do well without but I'm still going to leave a review because for 10+ yrs, we have been enjoying their food/sandwiches! I have to start with their cannolis: one of the best I've had! Crunchy, enough filling. I like both but my favorite is the chocolate one. You guys know how big and depending on what you get, how filled the sandwiches are! It doesn't matter which one you get, they are just the best!!! Even after their bread changed (about 6 yrs ago or so). Their salads are big! Their lasagna and spaghetti are okay/good - I guess I just prefer their sandwiches. The service can vary, it is a fast pace place, you walk in, order, pay and wait for your food! You will get a hi and most of the time, that's it...like I said, it's a very busy place! As far as the ambiance, music playing, outside seating, inside too but it's always packed, for the little hours they are open, always busy, busy! You now place orders online (vs over the phone like before), and you can even have them delivered through a third party.

    Went for a team luncheon. The staff were super friendly and helpful. The sandwich portions were great. The reason for my 3 stars is that I ordered a sandwich with no cheese, due to being allergic to cheese I specifically told them. However, they gave me a sandwich with cheese in it. The server who brought it out said that it was no cheese. They should have been more aware of that. They did remake my sandwich pretty quickly. Other than that, my remade sandwich was great!

    My mom found this place through a coworker who is a regular. She brought Cortina sandwiches for a department lunch one day and that's how the good news spread. Cortina's has become my favorite sandwich shop. My mom usually drops by there once a week to pick up lunch for the family. My step dad loves the roast beef dip, my brother go to is the philly cheesesteak and my mom's favorite is the Cortina Special. For me I've had the Fireball, pastrami, philly cheesesteak, Rocky Balboa, Meatball, Sausage and peppers, Cortina special all of them delicious but the Philly cheesesteak is my favorite. I have yet tried their pasta. Maybe someday I will. Overall service is good but they do get busy because of their limited business hours. Best bet is to place an order online through their app. Can't wait for my next experience.

    I'm surprised I've never seen this place before, but it is in an industrial area. They are only open weekdays for lunch. I ordered the Cortina's special sandwich which is basically an Italian. I also had spaghetti and meatballs. I was surprised with the sandwich. Most places skimp and give you mostly bread. The sandwichis here are loaded and very good. The spaghetti and meatballs was also very good. The meatballs were moist. Some places they are dry. You also get garlic bread. They have plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Sodas are from Stubborn, meats and cheeses are Boarshead. I feel you get your money's worth here. To bad they aren't open evenings and weekends.

    10 inch 10" Rocky Balboa Sandwich soooooo good
    Tim B.

    Just like the Anaheim location (which I love), this place has amazing food and great service. Today he had a friend ordered the 10" Rocky Balboa and the cheesesteak sandwiches (We both take a half of each so we have some variety). As always, the Rocky Balboa is the champion (pun intended), you just can't beat the flavor. The cheesesteak was also excellent. Not only are the sandwich ingredients amazing, but the bread is just to die for. So good! I wore my Smiths band shirt today. Imagine while we're eating three Smith songs came on in the restaurant. Nice touch! This is one of my favorite places to eat in the OC and I highly recommend it.

    I'm not sure when this location opened, but it looks new. Truly great sandwiches and salads here and you can purchase deli meat for your home cooking needs also.

    Caprese Salad, 6" Caprese Sandwich and 6" Cortina's Special Sandwich! ‍
    Desiree L.

    I absolutely love Cortina's! They have one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. My favorite sandwich is the Cortina's special. They provide great and friendly service. There is plenty of seating at this location and it's always clean. I tried their salad caprese which was very fresh but I personally prefer their caprese sandwich which is also top notch. I recommend popping in whenever you get a chance.

    Meatball & 10" Rocky Balboa Sandwich

    Ambiance: only open til 3 so perfect lunch spot with an outdoor patio (mix of high tops and regular tables) Service: quick and easy after you order, they give you a number and they'll bring it out to you Food: delicious. We got the rocky balboa (pork and broccoli rabe) and meatball sandwich. The rocky balboa comes with Au jus and the bread soaked it up so well, still crunchy and juicy inside

    i ordered cannoli for our christmas eve family gathering and they were ready in no time. they ran out of chocolate but they replaced it The people are really nice. Surprisingly, not too busy on Christmas eve. My boss recommended this place for their canolis

    10" Rocky Balboa Sandwich with Au jus
    Neil E.

    I've been coming here for over a decade so why the eff am i barely doing this long over due review, because I just love to eat and writing a review takes too damn long and too much effort. Honestly I've tried their Philly cheese, meatball sub, roast beef dip, sausage, I think all their hot sandwiches but hands down my favorite is the Rocky Balboa! For over a decade I've been eating the rocky balboa and dipping it in the au jus and it hasn't changed one bit. It's still a 5/5 amazing and hits the spot. Their bread is just outta this world perfect: fresh, crisp, chewy perfect for a a hot sandwhich that's gonna be dunked in au jus cuz this bread doesn't sog up and flop. The pork is succulent, the broccoli rab is perfectly cooked still holds a crisp and not soggy at all, the provolone adds a nice ooweegooeiness. They got some garlic and red pepper flakes to kick up the flavor. And all that happens from the first bite to the last bite. Au Jus doesn't have to be there cuz it's already juicy but if you want some extra juiciness don't stop dipping, the jus is amazing! New York has Katz and Los Angeles has Philippe's/Langers/etc and representing Orange county is Cortina's solid 4.5 but I'm rounding up cuz they are consistent with flavor, quality, and serving size.

The smokiness, the walnuts, it was perfect dipping with the (very hot) pita. Dare I say this was my favorite of the three? For proteins, we had the 3 kebab combo (chicken, filet mignon, and kefta) - again, all grilled to perfection, succulent, juicy, and so flavorful. Slather garlic sauce over everything! Our other protein was the mansaf. The lamb was fall of the bone and tender. The almonds give a nice crunch to each bite and the yogurt sauce was a perfect accompaniment. Ask for the green drink, perfect for cooling down in a warm day. Servers are super attentive and always checking in. Come hungry!

They also have sweet treats like mango lassi which is also good and cooling after the spicy food. Being 100% honest, the people make the place even better.

The inside is also super nicely decorated and the music is "vibey" too (my bf's exact words).

Premium combo = entree + $10 Entree + premium drink + masala fries I tried the bowl with mild biryani, malai chicken, green (mild) sauce, and guava mango lassi. The bowl already comes with the raita sauce (a yogurt sauce), so I got the green sauce as my choice of sauce after asking the staff for recommendations. The protein portion was super generous and very well-seasoned with their spice. The green sauce was my favorite and everything in the bowl mixed well together. The whole bowl was delicious and it didn't feel heavy, wasn't greasy. The Kashmiri Chai and the guava mango lassi are the most popular drinks, so I decided to try the guava mango lassi. The flavors blended so well. One wasn't more overpowering than the other, and the sweetness level was perfect for me, also, not too much ice. Masala fries So crispy and well-seasoned!! Could be a little less salty. Gulab jamun cheesecake Also asked for recommendations for their cheesecakes and decided to go with this one. It has the fried donut ball in the middle with syrup. It didn't taste too sweet to me, but I also have higher tolerance for sweets. The center has so much of the cheesecake cheese and it was super soft and fluffy. So delicious! The samosas were also great! Crispy and not too oily. I also love that they use compostable takeout containers, including the lid! The interior looks nice and there are a few seats available. There's outdoor shaded tables and seats too. The only downside is that I wish the outdoor seats were a bit cleaner. There is a free parking garage, just make sure to park in the retail spaces. There was enough parking. The staff members are so helpful and very friendly. Can order with a staff member or using their kiosk. HIGHLY recommend!! Would definitely go back!

In my opinion, this is completely inappropriate behavior, especially in a place where families and children are present. I have been a loyal customer here for a long time, and I have never experienced anything this disturbing before. I believe this matter should be taken seriously, as I do not think this is the type of person who should be working at this establishment.
