What a great place to get sandwiches! We were in Petaluma for my son's double header baseball game…read moreand needed to get some lunch between games. I came across this Italian deli on Yelp and gave it a try. I asked if they had a "ham and cheese" sandwich, and the lady at the counter said they can make a "kids" sandwich (off menu). They were able to make a pretty awesome Italian deli version. I also ordered The Americano sandwich for myself. My son loved it and I also thought my sandwich was amazing. Definitely will come back here to sandwiches!

Both sandwiches, and almost all of them sounded, decadent. I prefered the chicken parm over the turkey that for me, was too much. The turkey had bacon, sauces, cheese on a potential foccacia style bread.. it was a lot. The chicken parm was plain and simple and tasty. The chicken was medium thickness, breadcrumbed and fried. The roll was great and overall I enjoyed it. About $18 for a sandwich, which seemingly is the going rate these days for a sandwich. Fresh, delicious and a solid option for bougie Italian sandwiches.

I recommend it. I have had their Italian too, which is good. I think I'll hold off the horseradish next time when I got it. Im also a Dutch Crunch kind of guy when I buy a sandwich (the bread you love to choose in your sandwich is a sacred thing to share amongst sandwich lovers). You can customize it whichever way you'd like. Do check it out if you haven't already . And if you have, you know it's one of Petalumas tasty sandwich shops. Gotta keep it in my records of great sandwich shops.

We love the sandwiches too, they are really big, one is probably big enough to share if you grab a salad too. Great beverage selection, snacks and deviled eggs, too! We've ordered the tri-tip dinner many times and it never disappoints.

Unfortunately, our experience fell well below expectations, particularly considering the amount we…read morespent and the quality of service and food we received.we ordered two Lil Mamas Tri-Tip sandwiches, one salmon sandwich, and one hamburger. From the time we placed our order until all the food was ready, approximately 30 minutes had passed. We were accompanied by two hungry young children, and our family was sharing a hamburger while waiting for the remainder of our order. While I understand that food preparation takes time, the wait felt excessive, especially given the overall experience. During our wait, I witnessed an interaction between another customer and a male employee wearing all black, who was bald and wore reading glasses. The customer approached him to ask whether his sandwich was ready, and the employee responded abruptly that he had been calling for the customer for 12 minutes, grabbed his food from a shelf and put on counter.The customer took his food bag and shook his head in apparent disbelief. As a first-time visitor, witnessing this interaction raised concerns about the level of customer service being provided. Unfortunately, the food itself was also disappointing. By the time our order was ready, both Tri-Tip sandwiches were cold, and the barbecue sauce had left the bread soggy and mushy. The sandwiches contained very little meat, making them feel more like bread with a small amount of cold Tri-Tip than a satisfying sandwich. Overall, they were mediocre and did not meet our expectations. The hamburger was fine, and the salmon sandwich was acceptable. The cheesecake, however, was very good and was the highlight of our meal. I also noticed that the seating area could have been cleaner. Additionally, when I picked up our food, I asked for a side of barbecue sauce and was told by the same employee that it would cost an additional dollar. I understand that restaurants may charge extra for certain items, but this was another disappointing aspect of the experience, particularly when the sandwiches themselves were already heavily dependent on the barbecue sauce. After spending $97.02 on our first visit, I left feeling that the overall value, food quality, cleanliness, and customer service did not justify the expense. Regrettably, this experience has left me with little interest in returning or recommending the restaurant to others. I strongly encourage management to review its food preparation and order-handling processes, reinforce cleanliness standards, and, most importantly, provide customer service training for employees. In particular, the employee described above would benefit from coaching on professional communication, patience, and respectful customer interactions. Employees represent the restaurant, and even one negative interaction can significantly influence a customer's perception of the entire business. A restaurant may be busy and doing well at present, but long-term success depends on consistently delivering quality food, maintaining a clean environment, and treating every customer with courtesy and respect. First impressions matter, and customers who feel disappointed or disrespected are unlikely to return. I hope this feedback is received in the constructive spirit in which it is intended. I am sharing it because these are areas where improvements could make a meaningful difference to the customer experience and the restaurant's long-term reputation.

When we stopped in mid afternoon, unfortunately they were out of a number of different dishes to try. Many people would come by and pick up food to go, and there were some 2 person tables inside for seating near the window. Service answered any questions we had. We had ordered a mediterranean sample plate, and a beef kebob plate. The hummus and salads tasted fresh, the beef kebobs had good flavor and bite. I'd say the piece I liked best was the falafel. It wasn't grainy, and had a light and crunchy exterior; almost flaky. I'd go back just for that really. Certainly worth the stop tho, I'll have to check out the lamb, lentil soup, and the moussaka another time hopefully.

It was a popular spot with many people doing their afternoon shopping. The beer selection was amazing for me, lots of Russian River and other regional staples. The staff was also friendly, both the beer stocker and cashiers. I highly recommend shopping here if you're in Petaluma.

As soon as we walked through the door, the employees were attentive and incredibly helpful.

We decided to try their specials of the day: Chipotle chicken with avocado on sourdough Chicken parmesan on whole wheat roll I noticed that they were also offering a tri tip sandwich today. We'll give that a try next time. There are several tables inside. All were wiped down, chairs pushed in, and the ambiance was very comfortable. There was a constant flow of people either dining in or picking up their orders so this place is hopping! The gentleman who took our order delivered the sandwiches to us when they were ready. Sandwiches are large! They were heated through nicely. I took a bite of my husband's chipotle chicken and it was delicious with a nice little kick. I really loved my chicken parmesan sandwich too. Great combo of flavors and I could easily go on and on about their bread. I chose wheat and my husband had sourdough. Texture and taste were the best! I could only eat half so I wrapped my leftovers using the paper in my basket and sealed it with a toothpick. We waved good bye to everyone and thanked them for a nice lunch and headed to our car. As we were walking, a gentleman called us and brought us a bag for my leftovers! What an incredibly kind gesture. I can't remember the last time an employee went out of their way like that. That's the kindness they exude. Thank you for a very positive first experience. We will definitely be back again very soon.
