Incredible sandwiches, the bread is really high quality and fresh. Prices are reasonable and the service was friendly and quick. Pretty inside with lots of natural light and plants. Love the shaded outdoor patio area too. read more

This place makes my favorite sandwich of all time. You must try the Rocky Balboa sandwich!! Everything is made fresh here. Busy place so be patient , it will be worth the wait. Like this place better than the OG location in Anaheim. read more

These are the best sandwiches I have ever had. Would eat here everyday if I could. You need to try and Rocky Balboa.

Good sandwiches to go. I mean really good. And everything else too. It's a full Italian deli. Youre gonna thank me. read more

The food is very tasty. This is my 3rd visit. I've had a sandwich (sorry, don't remember which one) and 2 pizzas. All good. My only issue is the service. Every time I've been there, the empty tables both inside and outside are dirty. Getting someone's attention to get the tables wiped is hard. Food is good, but customer service is lacking a bit. read more

Id honestly eat here every day. As a matter of fact, I've been 3x this week‍ We've had a variety of things and nothing disappoints. Cortinas special, raviolis, meatballs, even their chips are good! My only gripe is the iced tea tastes like it needs to be cleaned out; theres a little funk to it. Otherwise we love cortinas! read more

Meatball sandwich was great as usual! But my antipasto salad looked tired and romaine was brown on the edges. Best to stick with the hot sandwiches w/ o lettuce. :) read more

Cortina's - Italian Near Me - Orange, California

One of the best sandwich places I've been! Boars Head meats, delicious bread (crunchy on the outside, but pillowy soft on the inside), and scrumptious sides. If you just need a good sandwich in a casual setting (most of the seating is on the covered outdoor patio in the front by the street) then Cortina's is for you! *also love Stefano's in Yorba Linda for no frills decor but yummy sandwiches, salads, & soups (I'll post a review for them as well) read more

Great sandwiches, old school deli feels. Always busy during lunch time. They offer pick up. The Philadelphia cheesesteak is amazing. Parking is scarce. read more

I ordered the overpriced pastrami here at lunch, I don't know what all the hoopla is about here. The pastrami was greasy and a bunch gristle, I thought Boars head was supposed to be the best of the best? It sure wasn't today. I think people come here because it's convenient for the local businesses around here. read more

Cortina's is a must! I think I have tried almost everything on the menu, but if you are in the mood for a fresh sandwich, come here. Don't go to subway lol. Their pastas are really good and I believe that they make their own pasta noodles too. Only thing is, expect long lines if you are ordering during lunch time or order online if you do not have an hour lunch break. read more

Cortina's - Baked Ham Sub - Italian Near Me - Orange, California

Amazing sandwiches. Loved the cheesesteak. The bread is the best. Cute outdoor area.

I like this place because the sandwich they prepare it's coming very delicious. Sometimes the girls are distracted and they forgot to submit the order., but if you order it online, you never have a problem. Seems like the place in Orange is very convenient because it's got a good ambience and good service.. What I'd like to place in Anaheim because it's bigger and they have also pizza read more

The 6" sandwiches here are HUGENORMOUS! The Rocky Balboa and the Cortina's Special were delicious, and the Rocky Balboa came with a side of broth to dip BOTH of our sandwiches in. Cold sandwiches come out way faster, so if you're in a rush and picking up to go, grab a cold sandwich! read more

Might be the best sandwich I've ever had.......Cortinas version of the Philly Cheesesteak sandwich is, in a few words, practically perfect! Their bread is always incredible and the way they cook the roast beef and veggies gives it a perfect crust and flavor and the addition of both American and mozzarella is definitely unique and a massive improvement from your standard Philly. My only edit was to add the spicy giardiniera. The bummer is that it was so good, I don't see how I order a different sandwich from here anymore! read more

Fast and friendly service. Best sandwiches in Orange County hands down. Rocky balboa is a must. I haven't had a better hot sandwich anywhere . Small indoor seating with a nice patio. I hope they keep this location cuz the Anahiem one is too far from me! read more

This place was recommended to us as one of the best sandwich places in Orange County. I normally don't crave sandwiches but the way this guy was describing it, I had to try. It's sucks that they have limited hours which can make wait times a bit long, but 100% worth the wait! read more

The BEST sandwich shop in the Oc. Their bread is unmatched, and you get what you pay for. Delicious

They are amazing, great people and family run business ! Been going there for over 5 years now

If there is a better deli in Orange County please let me know. Yes they also serve pasta but I always come here for lunchtime sandwiches and I have yet to find better place in the area. I always get the Cortina's special but have tried many others . The service is exceptional as well. Sometimes hard to get a table around lunch hour. read more

Pretty amazing Italian sandwiches. Extremely poor service/unorganized staff. Went in on a Thursday afternoon - the process to order was a bit hectic as there was a line that clearly wasn't organized and dividing into 2 lines. When I went up to order, the cashier decided it would be the perfect time for a shift change and had me standing there for a few minutes before directing me to the other cashier (things happen, I get it, but maybe have the other cashier take me next rather than leaving me to dry?). This was followed up by waiting around for about 20 minutes as I saw 3-4 people who had larger orders of multiple sandwiches picking up and leaving (they ordered after I had entered the store). Went up to the cashier and asked about my order - low and behold, it's been sitting on their service counter for the past 10 minutes. Not offered an apology - but thankfully the sandwich was pretty good! I'll probably be back, but will make sure to keep my standards for service at a lower level. read more

Tbh I've only gotten sandwiches here (Italian cold cut sandwiches, eggplant parm, turkey sandwich), but they've all been really tasty and generous in portion. The only negative thing I have to say is if you order in, it can get a busy and if you don't eat your sandwich fresh, depending on the sandwich, it might be a bit soggy. That being said my recommendations are to order ahead and eat it fresh if you can. Staff have also been solid and relatively nice. read more

Best sandwiches in town. Plan on a bit of a wait if you come during the busy lunch hour. Everything is made fresh and the sandwiches are huge even for a 6". read more

I tried out the place today everything looks So delicious on Yelp and I tried the cold sub And hot roast beef and spaghetti meat sauce Everything was good BUT BUT the garlic bread comes with the spaghetti was really Sauggi I thought I was chewing a gum But the burn in hot roast beef sandwich was Perfect crispy outside and soft inside I will try out other stuffs next time Service and the vibe 100 % satisfied Thank you read more

There are sandwiches and then there is the art being produced at Cortina's. This is the simplest way to describe this family owned market. Let's start off with the staples of any good sandwich: bread that is soft inside and crunch outside but will not fall apart when packed with ingredients, quality meats vs basic cold cuts, and fresh condiments. You will find all of those things with every selection and it blends perfectly together. The service here is prompt and efficient and the ambience is modern but the interior can be a bit packed with the sheer volume of the lunch crowd but there is ample seating outside. If you are new to this place then would highly recommend the Cortina Special as it's akin to an Italian hoagie but on a different level. If this establishment were any closer would be visiting on a weekly basis and likely require permanent stretchy pants for my expanded waistline. Drool...eat...food euphoria...rinse, repeat, and enjoy! read more

There are so many options to choose from! I wanted a hot sandwich so I ordered the Rocky Balboa and it did not disappoint. 6" was way more than enough for me. I struggled to finish the last few bites. They are very generous with the filling and every bite was packed with flavors. They have a handful of tables outside, so we were able to bring our dogs too read more

The worst waiting time ever waited 45 minutes for a 6 inch turkey sandwich literally could have made it at home. people ordered after us and still got their order before us read more

Been here 250 times. My all time favorite Italian sandwich place. Lasagna is alright too!

We were waiting for about 30-35 minutes for our sandwiches and the employee told us they would come outside to call out for our sandwich but left it inside and didn't tell us they were ready at all. She said she called out for us but no one came outside. Hopeful for better service next time! read more

The food is really good, the meatball sub is ungodly, I don't think I've had one that good before. The food tastes fresh and the serving size is large. A meatball Sammy that is 6'' can for sure be shared for most people. Thing is large. Great flavors and never anything bland. We have been there a few times and while I get the same thing each time it never tastes different. One of the best Sammy places I've been too. They do phone orders, online through here and in person. They are busy a lot of the time since they are only open until 3 and only during the week. Make sure to give them a try and support local small business read more

Great sandwich, decent service. based on the name alone - had to order the Rocky Balboa. Can't walk past the italian stallion. What an incredible sandwich it was! Pancetta was incredible. And the broccolini was a nice touch.. I was surprised that I liked it but I definitely liked it. Would've liked a TINY bit more salt on it, but that's my only real complaint. My dad opted for a cold sandwich option (bad choice, amateurish!) - but he prefers it and loved the sandwich he had. I can't remember the name but it was their "signature" option. Overall, food was great. Service was acceptable, if a bit prompt. KInd of lacked that "flare" I like to see for the fifth star - but I'll definitely be back here for sandwiches in future. read more

Great place for lunch! I've ordered various sandwiches here and they've all been great. The Rocky Balboa is my go-to and never disappoints. Highly recommend making online orders and picking up as seating is limited and parking can be a challenge at this location, especially during peak lunch hours. read more

We stopped off for sandwiches because a friend recommended this deli, but we were disappointed in the quality of the sandwiches. Not as tasty as we were expecting- rather bland. read more

unfortunately can't find any pictures but this is hands down the best italian sandwich place EVER! i have had many great italian sandwiches but this one is still #1!!! my go to is the prosciutto di parma sandwich and the cortina special!! you just can't go wrong with those if you love cure meats!!! it's easy to order but sometimes no table but the turn around is quite fast. if it wasn't always so packed and hard to park, i would come here alllll the freaking time!!!!! read more

As always everything was awesome food was wonderful order picked up on time no waiting,it is not cheap you pay for the privelidge,but worth it. read more

I still absolutely love the food here- it's amazing. The updated star rating is reduced strictly on the friendliness of the front cashiers. No smiles, no eye contact, no "how are you"... nothin! Very rude these days which is pretty disappointing. I hope management can see this review and make some positive changes. read more

Had the Rocky Balboa...the best sandwich I think I have stuck in my mouth! Perfect bread, perfect crunch, the perfect amount of broccolini. Left me wanting to go back the next day! read more

I was disappointed in my visit here. I brought my daughter here to celebrate her birthday. We ordered a Turkey Sandwich and fettuccine Alfredo with chicken. The sandwich seemed like it was mostly bread (to which I didn't eat half of it). The turkey was fresh and the lettuce, tomato and onions were as well. The fettuccine was fair with the sauce mostly at the bottom of the bowl. The bread that was served with the pasta had a funky taste to it. We left still hungry and needed to go somewhere else. It was disappointing to spend $30 and leave hungry. Unfortunately I will need to go elsewhere for a good sandwich and pasta. read more
