I tried their turkey & cheese sandwich, which was huge! I added salami and banana peppers, and it was delicious. The ingredients tasted fresh, and it was humongous, however I felt the ingredients were somewhat minimal to the bread size. For $15, I feel the price is for the large bread, and there could have been more of everything inside. It still tasted very good, has good ratios for taste, and is enormous. It was hard to show just how big these sandwiches are. I had one half for lunch and the other for dinner. turkey & cheese sandwich: 9/10 I'll be returning here at some point to try them again, because they have amazing customer service and great sandwiches! I've heard their breakfast sandwiches are fantastic as well. Thanks Nicole! ambiance: 5/5 food: 4/5 drinks: n/a service: 5/5 Bennett's Sandwich Shop: 4.6/5

We just had a fabulous meal yet again at Bar'Cino in Brookline. We have been coming for a few years…read morebecause of the great food, fun decor, and wonderful service, but honestly this was the best meal we've ever had there. The food was delicious-- they have a brand new menu that is really good-- some of our favorites are there but the salmon and risotto, for instance, are seasoned in a new way and presented elegantly. We felt like royalty-- that's how good the service was, which is truly rare these days and one of the reasons we keep returning for birthdays and anniversaries and date nights. This time was to celebrate our son's return to his final year of college and our daughter's big new job. The staff worked together in a seamless way to make sure we were taken care of. We were most impressed by our server Lexi, who went out of her way to make us all feel special, which allowed us to really celebrate and enjoy being together as a family. Thank you! We will be back.

I would go back just for that - crispy + slicing with scissors adds a whole other feel to it. I feel in control of my flatbread. Calamari was good but I'd choose the flatbread over anything. Can't go wrong with fig, goat cheese, and prosciutto. Emma didn't like the dill on there but I didn't mind. Enjoyed with a nice glass of white wine while we dined outside.

I came to tatte for the black sesame latte but was seduced by the orange blossom latte and had to…read moregive it a shot. I've been drooling over the passion fruit krembo and the pear tart so I had to give them a try as well. Pear tart- absolutely perfect, so mellow and sweet and I loved the poached pear in the middle! Passionfruit krembo- honestly stronger on the coconut and meringue flavor than on the passion fruit? Tastes almost like a lemon meringue tart to me. Orange blossom latte- frankly didn't get any flavor of orange blossom in the latte, until it melted totally I could taste it a little in the coffee. The vanilla was also really light. It's a pretty unadulterated coffee (as is typical for a cold brew) and I kinda like my coffee sweet and creamy, so I was not too impressed on a first taste. But once it melted I liked it a lot more. Probably will stick with black sesame next time. Note- they serve their pastries glued with sugar (?) on a cardboard round. Im not too sure how to eat it like this so I ended up prying them off the round.

It's a great spot to grab a coffee with a friend or stay longer to work on your laptop. I tried their new overnight oats with peach and raspberry which was delicious, fresh, and creamy! It was filling and a generous portion size. Other menu items I have enjoyed on prior visits are the caprese sandwich and avocado tartine and you can't go wrong with any of their lattes or chai. The sauce on Tatte broccolini squash pita flavor I thought was overpowering which I tried twice on previous visits. Service was quick and friendly! They have a water station and grab your own silverware.

The bread was super fresh and crispy and the ingredients tasted very fresh and seasoned lightly and perfectly. Service: order at the counter and wait for your sandwich.

The bread was also super fresh when I went so the bread was still warm as I was eating. It's quite pricy for a sandwich but considering I split this into two meals, it's not that bad. Overall a good meal and worth a try.

I was craving a chicken caesar wrap for a while now, and man am I glad I picked that! It was fantastic, crispy, the lettuce wasn't cooked, and had a subtle but pleasant kick to it. They must of had lime in the dressing because it was actually refreshing! I was shocked by the time I looked down at my plate I ate it all! Great atmosphere and great food!

Shy Bird is such a gem in Fenway! I don't know why I never…read morethought to visit but I'm glad we did. We came right in time for their happy hour (3pm-5pm). I'm not sure what they offer on their regular menu because they only gave us the happy hour menu. I wonder if you're able to order something from their regular menu during happy hour? Anyways, we got three things from their "Shy Hour" menu: - Chipotle cheddar bacon smash burger ($10) - ranch fried chicken sandwich ($10) - 12 chicken bites (60¢/each) + sauce flight $2 Chicken bites were good. Not dry at all & I highly recommend paying the extra $2 for the sauce flight to try all the sauces they have. The chicken bites do come with a choice of one sauce though & is 60¢ per extra sauce. Burgers were cooked well. They were juicy & not dry at all. Very good flavor for both! I really liked the chipotle cheddar bacon burger. It was slightly sweet (maybe had a bit of maple syrup or honey?). Both burgers came with fries. The fried were your classic frites; reminiscent of McDonald's fries to us but less salty & crispier. Overall, I enjoyed it much more than I thought I would, since I'm not much of a chicken fan. I would for sure come back again, especially for their happy hour! Great deals & nice portion sizes.

Charles River Bread Co. (not to be confused with the world's largest supplier of mice - Charles…read moreRiver Co.) has replaced D'Angelo's and damn if that's not a good thing then I don't know what is. You can build your own and they also have 10 or so specialty sandwiches with local-themed names like Brookline Portobello and Allston Asiago. These are prepared on one of a few types of excellent fresh bread and come with a pickle and a small bag of Cape Cod chips - all for just over 6 dollars. The Charles River Gondola one I had was really good on crusty french baguette. A return visit is being scheduled.

I like this addition to the GSU (George Sherman Union) for all you non BU-ers. The bread is…read morefresh/high quality and you have choices like baguette, whole wheat chibatta and more. They started doing more soups and salads too now so you can do a 1/2 soup or salad and 1/2 sandwich. Their sandwiches are generously portioned (read can be two meals if you are on a college budget like me) It's a little over 6 for the sandwich (or 1/2 and 1/2) with your choice of apple or small bag of Cape Cod Chips. I always get pretty much the same- garlic oil, fresh mozzarella, tomato, and basil. It's a great sandwich- although once in a while their basil is not fresh. You can choose to get it grilled or not. The wait is usually 5-10 minutes, but at least the ordering system (pen and paper) means that I've never had an error with my sandwich. More fast moving places should do this I think. Anyway, you can choose all sorts of things here really- there are lots and lots of options, which is what we all want in our over personalized, individualistic society, right? :)

We've lived in Brookline for several years, but have never tried this deli. We ordered three…read moresandwiches to go. I received a call with a question about my sandwich, which was incredibly thoughtful. The sandwiches were huge, expertly made, and super fresh with high quality ingredients. And, we had no idea that each sandwich came with an amazing half-sour pickle! What a treat! The prices are absolutely fair and 10/10 I would recommend. My only suggestion would be to have wraps as an option for the bread with some salad options (i.e. Greek salad wrap, caesar wrap, etc.)

GOD BLESS AMERICA...and this sandwich!! Never have I ever had a better sub in my life. The bread,…read morethe meats, the toppings; everything tasted like the best of the best! Walking through the front door is like walking through a secret portal to Italy (I'm not kidding). The smells and sights of fresh meat hanging from the ceiling is what I imagine heaven to be like! I ordered the Italian sub. First of all, it is HUGE in both length and circumference. One sub can easily be split between two people. The bread-to-meat ratio is perfect. I could taste each individual ingredient with every bite, which is a unique experience that only happens when everything is fresh and flavorful as can be. I think this place just ruined subs for me because no other will come close to being THIS good. If I were on death row, this sandwich would be part of my last meal. I feel like I cannot adequately put into words just how amazing it is. Do yourself a favor and check this place out sooner than later! :)

I came for the much heralded Italian sandwich and it did not disappoint…read more Small, 2-room shop on Salem Street, right next to Bova's Bakery, good for Italian provisions and artful Italian sandwiches. As the name "Mercato" implies, it's not a restaurant, so no place to eat, no place to "do your business" after, and if you've made it to the north end, you already know there's no place to park. -- Italian Sandwich: Long, soft bread, kinda like the kind you had in your school cafeteria, only a million times softer, a million times more crackly, and a million times better. Setting the base are oil, balsamic vinegar, lettuce, tomato, pickles, hots, and provolone. Italian sandwiches usually come flat-stacked or in a C-shape. Here, it's a fluffy stack, with the VERY-thin-sliced-to-order meats-- prosciutto, mortadella, salami-- piled generously but delicately, like tissue paper. More oil and balsamic on the other side seals the deal. It's a glorious sandwich that'll fill you up with the first half, but you'll want to keep eating the second half, because it's so good. The deep flavors of the meats comes through, and that's soft, crunchy bread is a delight. Pro tip #1: Get it with a small side of pesto. Have some bites with, some bites without. Pro tip #2 (in more ways than one): Plan your restroom visit at the nearby Boston Public Market. Pro tip #3: Plan your eating near the Paul Revere statue on Hanover Street, at the basketball court down Stillman Street, or on the Greenway down Hanover Street.

Food was good, we had the shakshuka croissant and the muhamarra feta sandwich on a Turkish bagel. The shakshuka croissant is made Turkish style and that's why the eggs are almost mashed into the curry. The muhamarra was very tasty, going lighter on the feta may be a good idea otherwise it can tend to be overly salty. We also tried the meet point latte which has sahlep tea and sprinkled with rose leaves. It was good but I couldn't taste anything much different than a plain latte. The cold milky baklava was a pleasant surprise. Soaked through, it is a moist tasty delight! The only reason it's not 5 stars is because a lot of the coffee syrups and also some desserts like cakes are not made in house, which was a tad disappointing. The owners are very friendly and kind. It was the parent cafe's (Dolma) birthday and they offered everyone a piece of celebratory baklava. They're a newer cafe and I wish them the best and that they are successful!
