One of the best sandwich shop I've ever been too. Hands down. You have to go there. It is amazing. Chicken Italiano all day. Some cannabis goes nicely with it. read more

Yeah, it's a great sandwich. It's been years since I've been to Cortina's. I've only visited the Anaheim location, but Orange is less chaotic and we were feeling like sandwiches today so we went for it. 1130 is still a solid time to visit. The food arrived quickly and we were able to find seating without an issue. The sandwiches prices have definitely gone up, but they are pretty large so it you at least get a very full meal out of them. No major complaints from the table. Overall, all the food was enjoyed. I probably have the biggest gripe-I was the only one that got a hot sandwich, the chicken marinara, and my biggest issue is that it was at best lukewarm so the temperature was just not right. Cheese wasn't melted enough. It could've used some extra time warming it up however they do it. This is not the type of sandwich you want to eat at room temperature. It still tasted good and the bread is fantastic. Now that I returned, I want to run through the menu some more and knock out some other items. But let's be honest, the real reason I'll be coming back is because of the black cherry soda, which is delicious. If you've been there, you know. Most of people seem to get it. It's definitely a thing. read more

Cortina's Special is my go-to for an Italian sub. The service is quick and convenient, the prices are solid, and there's great indoor and shaded outdoor seating. read more

Probably the best deli sandwich I've had in a long time! I ordered the pastrami (without pickles) and absolutely devoured it. The meat was delicious cooked and the bread was so crunchy. I highly recommend trying this place if ever you're in the area. read more

Cortina's Orange - 6" Pastrami Sandwich - Italian Near Me - Orange, California

I try to stop by this sandwich shop every time I'm in the area. Full disclosure, I've only ever ordered one item (the Rocky Balboa), but it's just that good! This sandwich is an absolute flavor bomb. Every bite is packed with bold, savory goodness and it always comes out hot and fresh. Fair warning: it's a heavy meal, so be prepared for the inevitable food coma. But honestly? Totally worth it. At this point, I probably should explore the menu, but it's hard to stray from a perfect sandwich that hits every time! I recommend it to all my buds when they're looking for food nearby :) read more

Busy place but worth the wait. Their sandwich special is great - the small size is filling, no need to order large unless you are very hungry. read more

It was all good until I found all the carrot in there... had to take them all out. But I think it may have been my fault. Anyway, despite that, the sandwich I had was still very good. I'll be back to try more. A little hard to park though even with their big parking lot, not sure why. read more

Cortina's Orange - Italian Near Me - Orange, California

This place is nestled in the business area of Orange right in front of a Boars Head Provisions warehouse. They sell deli sandwiches that are served up in their delicious bread. I got the sausage and peppers sandwich and bottled Coke. It was a good amount of sandwich for a 6" and it was tasty reminding me of basically of marinara sandwich. It was good not spectacular, but good. I would like to try more. I also ordered some potato salad that was just average and some potato chips. Service was order at the counter and be given a number and get your food at your table routine. There was a small say 10-20 people capacity inside dining and maybe another 10-20 more outside patio dining. Verdict - I'd wanna like this but I feel it could be a notch better. That said, I'd like to try something else someday here. read more

I've been to the Anaheim location dozens of times, but today was closer to Orange, so I decided to come here. Same sandwiches, same prices. I went with a Large Cortinas Special. This place was busy! Took a little while for the sandwich to come out. Took it to go and ate it at home. How was it? Bomb! Cortinas Special- This is their cold cut sub. So delicious. All fresh ingredients on freshly baked bread. Damn fine sandwich...one of the best you can get in CA, and definitely the best you can get in Orange County. Still prefer the Anaheim location as far as set up and parking and such, but if I'm ever in/near Orange again, I will definitely come back. Their sandwiches are absolutely fantastic! read more

Cortina's Orange - Large Cortinas Special - Italian Near Me - Orange, California

Came here for lunch on Thursday around 11 cause we were in the area. *if you come here, it is HIGHLY suggested you order online or phone order* We waited about 20 mins for our sandwiches! This place can get pretty busy. So, plan ahead! I got a 10" Rocky Balboa..has Porchetta w/melted provolone, broccolini, garlic oil, Au jus and pecorino Romano cheese. This sandwhich is pretty good! With the Au jus it's so super good! My husband got a 10" meatball which was their world famous meatballs w/cheese. It was so good! The meatball was moist and tender. It wasn't dry and hard to bite into. All-in-all, these sandwiches are very filling!! It was delicious! read more

Friends have been recommending Cortina's for years. It's in an industrial section of Orange (just off Katella). The sandwich & other food options are wide and the buns are excellent with a soft inside and crispy outside. As you can see by the menu pics I've posted, they have such a great selection. The prices are fair - the 6" sandwich is actually very filling - even for me. If I buy the 12", I'd be bringing most of the extra home. Service was great. Very fast. Very friendly. They get real busy as you get closer to lunch, but the staff does a great job keeping up with crowds. The ambience is fun. Casual and a great place to meet up with friends. They have an outdoor patio facing the street which is comfy for those who prefer the open atmosphere. I had the pastrami sandwich and while the meat was trimmed well and very juicy, I'm not a fan compared to the taste of a few other places. But I was not unhappy. It was still good. Just next time, I will try others - like the meatball or steak! Good selection of soft drinks and free refills if you need one. Well worth a visit if you're nearby! read more

Got a Cortina's sandwich. Flavor was good, but bread was too chewy. Price for 10" sandwich, I think, it's excessive. I have tried Claro's sandwiches, and I prefer them. read more

Absolutely delicious. I tried the Russo & Rocky Balboa. The au jus w/ the Rocky was such a nice addition. Usually dips are too salty, but this one was perfect. I will definitely be back. I can't wait to try the other location in Anaheim. read more

Had a bit of a wait for my sandwich after I ordered. I had the six inch pastrami sandwich with chips and a soda. The sandwich was quite tasty and I was comfortably full afterwards. Men's washroom was clean and had paper towels available... good. However the men's washroom was designed for only one person... not so good. I have a bone to pick with the personal appearance of some of the employees. I noticed that most of the guys working there wore their shirts untucked which I consider to be unprofessional. If I was to assign a letter grade to this establishment like a grade in school, this place would be in there solid with a B. read more

Good food but If you have allergies to specific ingredients make sure to place your order in person. I placed online and called to request no olives on my salad and when I went to pick up my food. I asked if the olives were not added to my salad and they took the salad back. I think they just took them off the salad that was already made because I still had some olives on my salad. There was no note on my receipt for no olives. :( read more

Sandwiches are great at Cortina's! We ordered 2 different sandwiches and shared them. The bread was fresh, veggies were tasty, and it has just the right amount of flavor. The patio has lots of seating. Service was fast and efficient. I am looking forward to trying other sandwiches at a future visit. read more

Is there a better sandwich place? There's some great ones in Orange and the surrounding areas but Cortina's is the best one IMO. I always get the Italian sandwich (Cortina's Special) and sometimes the meatball or italian sausage - all absolutely delicious! Cortina's Special is such a great italian sandwich. The bread is always fresh and perfectly soft with a flakey crispiness to it. Plenty of meat with a strong provolone that I love. Just a great sandwich! Honestly my only complaint is that they aren't open on weekends. Definitely recommend ordering ahead because it can get super busy during the lunch rush. We just order in the AM for pickup and it's ready when we get there. read more

Small but it looks promising! I got a salami sandwich one trip the next time a pastrami! The sandwiches are really good and priced decent! I recommend! read more

Cortina's Orange - 6" Genoa Salami Sandwich - Italian Near Me - Orange, California

This place is so good, they can even make Boar's Head meat tolerable. The Fireball sandwich is, well, fire.

The eggplant parmesan sandwich is literally the best in the area. Been going here for years and the quality has never faltered.

We were closer to the Orange location than the Anaheim one. We ordered the Philly cheesesteak sandwich with extra mushrooms ‍. The sandwich was very temperate hot and tasty. It definitely hit the spot. They were still pretty busy at 2pm with dine in, Togo, and call-in orders. So, it did take about 20 mins for our order which is normal for the other location in Anaheim taking up to 30 mins. Pro Tip: the Orange location does not have pizza. If you are craving pizza, you need to go to the Anaheim location. Another difference is that the Orange location has more outdoor seating with shade. read more

Cortina's Orange - 10" Philadelphia Cheese Steak Sandwich - Italian Near Me - Orange, California

Definitely the best meatball sandwich I have had in Orange County. Also some of the best pizza. The New York is money! All pies are pretty good, but the family really enjoys the New York style. Check out the associated store next door for prepared meals, bread, and treats. Great stuff! read more

First timer at the Orange location . Many many visits to their Buena Park location. Typical lunch time rush. Luckily we were able to get a table. Funny thing is, out of all the visits to the sister site, this is my FIRST Cortina's sandwich. Been ordering their pizzas, pasta & salads on prior visits. The big plus for this site is the parking. Although a long narrow lot on both sides of the restaurant, it's 100 times better than the miniature lot in BP. Ordered the Cortina special 6 inch. Decent amount of mixed salami, cappicola, etc. Freshly cut lettuce (not the chemical taste like bagged lettuce), sliced tomato & as requested, extra pepperoncini. The bread is amazing, filling was amazingly fresh, just a great sandwich. Although I have a pretty hardy appetite, the 6" was more than enough. Actually took home half. My MIL had the roast beef sandwich. She also was very pleased with her sandwich. Same great bread, etc. Very crowded with those dining in & take out. Prices compatible to other places ($9-12) for 6" sandwiches. MIL noticed a lot of male diners. Not sure why that mattered. Maybe the hardiness of a good sandwich. It's a cute place. Reminiscent of a ships hull kind of feel. They must have a totally different staff as many previous Yelp reviewers (7-12 months earlier) noted horrible service. We didn't experience this. As busy as it was, meals were ordered, expedited with efficiency. Wish I had ordered the sandwiches before. After this visit, I really feel as though I've missed out on some good sandwiches. read more

Good sandwiches. Nice helpful staff. My friend and I both enjoyed our lunch. Very busy.

This is a review specifically for getting delivery of Cortina's through the Yelp app. Put simply, it doesn't work. My food never arrived, and the ChowNow people who process the delivery were literally no help at all, and I am just going to have to dispute the charge with my credit card company for services not rendered. read more

Great food and great staff! We always order for pickup and quality is always there! Highly recommend their meat balls!

I've been a loyal fan of Cortinas for years, but this was my first time visiting this location. It's a little storefront near a bunch of collision repair shops, with a few tables inside and some outdoor seating at the front. They're open from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on weekdays, but due to its popularity, parking can be tricky during lunchtime. Our favorites are the Cortina's Special (a mix of cold cuts with Italian dressing) and the Rocky Balboa (warm roast pork with broccoli rabe, served with au jus for dipping). Both sandwiches come in 6 or 10 inches, and the 6-inch is the perfect portion for a satisfying lunch. When dining in, you order at the counter and they bring your food to you. Highly recommend checking it out if you're in the area! read more

My review is based on their famous meatball sub and the turkey sandwich. The meatball overshadowed my sandwich and not that it was bad but the overall combination of meatball, sauce, toasted bread in combination was delicious. My turkey sandwich was on the same bread but not toasted and I opted for mustard since I am not a fan of mayo. Price points averaged about 9.50 for a six inch (good portion) or nine inch was more. This was my first time here but all of the sandwiches looked really good. The line got long after us but service was quick taking our order and didn't overly take too long to come out. There is limited seating both indoors and outdoors so to go may be a better option if you are on a time crunch. It was a simple fast casual type of sandwich place which I enjoyed more than a subway or maybe a Jersey Mike's. We will be back. read more

So I've loved this place since the first time I stepped in back like 2018.....and I don't think that I'll ever stop loving it. These sandwiches are huge and tasty. I've always got the following sandwiches, as they are always winners, in my opinion- Cortina's Special, Roast Beef French Dip, The Fireball, Russo Special, and Philly Cheesesteak. This time I tried something different and was not disappointed. It was called the Rocky Balboa. It was homemade hot porchetta, melted provolone cheese, broccolini, garlic chili oil, and au jus. It was sooooo good that I've added it to the list of go to's read more

Cortina's Orange - The Rocky Balboa (10'') - Italian Near Me - Orange, California

Food is great! Sometimes we have a long wait but that gives us a chance to go to the deli! People were generally friendly.

Cortina's Orange is one of my favorite places to visit during my lunch break. They offer an amazing selection of sandwiches and pasta dishes. My favorite dish to get is the penne pasta with pesto and chicken. The pasta is cooked to perfection and the pesto sauce is very flavorful. The staff is very nice and efficient. The restaurant offers both indoor and outdoor seating. read more

The service here is impeccable. I placed an order and picked the wrong location, drove to Orange and was disappointed in myself. I was ready to drive to Anaheim but the young gentleman stopped me and said he will make it for me here. Thank you for doing that! read more

Cortina's is a solid lunch spot. From the outside, it looks huge, but it only takes up part of the front of a warehouse. I can see it getting busy during lunch with all the nearby businesses. I had the CrossFit sandwich and macaroni salad -- both were pretty good. Service was also on point. If you're in the area and craving a solid sandwich, I wouldn't hesitate to stop by. read more

Love the food at Cortinas order at least once or twice a week but be very careful and check your order when you pick it up three times in a row. I've asked for garlic bread instead of focaccia and they cannot seem to get it right or check the outgoing orders. read more

Never have I ever been to this location and I've lived in Orange over 18 years. I always have gone to the Anaheim location because they offer so much more, plus have a grocery/deli style store and are open later. Came in for lunch with some friends and it was packed! Luckily we got a table and were seated quickly. I ordered a Turkey sun and I believe the lettuce had gone bad. Something in the sandwich was just bitter tasting. Would try again but not in the near future. Cortina's has been in business for many decades and we love the Anaheim location more. Great for catering too! Stop in but check hours so you are not disappointed. read more

Cortinas is the best- I go to the Anaheim one. Lived 8 houses away since 1960 (before Cortinas was built) so many visits there. Sill go there at least once a month to the store or the restaurant. Saw several Cortinas family generations work there. read more
