Delicious sandwiches, friendly service, few tables to sit and enjoy, plenty of parking. Check them out guys ! You will not be disappointed
Lately, I feel like they have really changed from when they opened. A bunch of sandwiches have now been discontinued, the bread has changed on a few of the sandwiches, and the amount of meat has been cut down in some too. I understand a lot of things change once a restaurant becomes established but for an expensive sandwich, these changes are decreasing the quality. The chicken parm used to be a huge amount of chicken, now it's down to maybe some chicken finger looking chicken that if you're lucky, the cheese is melted. Half the time the cheese isn't anymore and the sauce is cold. The personal touch we used to have when you went in is also gone now. Maybe we will try it again some time down the road, but now when all our favorites have now been changed.
Such a great spot in Farmington Hills!! My boyfriend and I were in town and were looking for something quick like a sandwich spot. The inside is really cute with a lot of seating. The servers were all very friendly. We came on a random weekday around 2pm, and we were served very quickly. He got a meatball sub and I got the prosciutto panino. I thought it was really delicious. The fig jam was a great touch. I didn't try my boyfriend's, but he said that it was really good and that he'd order it again. Definitely recommend this spot and these sandwiches!!
Really good selection of sandwiches. The tomato soup was amazing! I got the Piacenza which was good. I do wish they had put a little more of the aoli and giardiniera on it because it was a bit dry. I found the meat to arugula ratio to be a little off. They put way more arugula in it than what is pictured on their website. The place is nice and clean with plenty of spots to sit. Overall I'd go back again because I do like the unique options they have, but I do wish they gave a little more meat than greens. I've been to the one in Detroit which is where I first tried the prosciutto panino which was so good and memorable.
Now this place is great! We tried it's tonight for the first time and we were impressed! The focaccia bread is clearly homemade, it was fluffy and delicious! The meats and cheeses were unique and fresh! Kind of pricey for sandwiches but I guess that's how things are these days! We will definitely be back
Absolutely incredible sandwiches and friendly staff! I ordered 3 sandwiches to go and they were ready in no time. Next time I wouldn't mind having lunch inside, the space is clean and bright! I had the piacenza - capicola, arugula, provolone, giardiniera, house garlic & herb aioli. Absolutely delicious and very spicy!
Excellent sandwich. Key is their freshness, especially their focaccia bread . It is soft to touch but have a chew to it. Tried their special menu today. Chicken culet, herb aioli, roasted red pepper and lots of arugula. Yum.
Lunch with friends was extra special with a visit to la Pechora nera. I really enjoyed my sandwich with a side of the red cabbage slaw. The menu is great, with fresh ingredients and excellent bread. They had brunch/ breakfast items as well with specials, soups and salads to keep things interesting. I was impressed with their dessert options as well, especially freshly filled cannolis. Yum! Great spot!
I'm shocked we haven't been here until today. The restaurant was very clean and the people working were very nice and helpful. We ordered the Italiano and the Prosciutto panini and both were delicious. We will definitely be back!
It was well past lunchtime, so I was starving when I arrived at this relatively newer location in downtown Farmington. Inside several customers were waiting for their orders, while I reviewed the blackboard menu by the register. So many choices: sandwiches, salads, and a few soups. Space was tight, even after I moved to the dining area to wait for my order. I liked the overall restaurant aesthetics: white subway tiles and black wainscoting, leather sofa lounge seating, black aluminum chairs, and industrial tables. The decor was very much in keeping with the "black sheep" theme. I had the Italiano, a crusty roll loaded with a number of deli slices, shredded lettuce, lots of sour pickle slices, and Italian dressing. Delicious. I was intrigued by the Muffaletta. It is something I always order when I see it on menus. Here, it is made with ham, capicola, salami, and cheese on a grilled ciabatta, not a sesame roll. A giardiniera of pickled vegetables balances out the taste profile of the sandwich. The chocolate chunk cookie was okay - a bit dry for my taste. Incidentally, I heard a lot of orders for chicken parm - I'll have to try that the next time I'm here. Service was friendly but much, much slower than expected. And the tables were not cleared/cleaned regularly. Ample parking is available behind the restaurant.

Authentic Italian sandwiches made in a small, quaint deli with limited seating, friendly service that went above and beyond to accommodate a larger group of eight. I ordered the Italiano - Genoa salami, fire roasted ham, pistachio mortadella, capicola, provolone cheese, lettuce, tomato, on fresh focaccia bread. I liked how the sandwiches are not too thin and not too absurdly large. It's great value and just enough food to keep you over until dinner time. Highly recommend this place and would definitely revisit in the future to try the other sandwich options. That's all read more
I have walked by here a million times, but have never stopped even though I have heard great reviews. Today was the day to try it out! The ordering process is very easy. They have a menu board with multiple options listed. You order at the stand at the back of the store, and then our food was brought out to us even though we had ordered it to go. I am not sure if that is always the process- I was expecting to go to the counter to pick it up myself so that was a nice surprise! We ordered our sandwiches to go even though we were dining in as we knew we would be taking home leftovers. The seating area inside is no frills. They have less than 10 tables inside, and when we were leaving all of them were full with people waiting for seats. They did appear to have 2 tables outside but they were not being used as it was raining. They did have a carafe full of ice water that was self serve by the door, and they had large cups available which I appreciated! My eyes were immediately drawn to the Spicy Chicken Caesar and the Napa Club. Since this was my first time I ordered both and planned to share half of each sandwich. When I opened the Spicy Chicken Caesar I was surprised by the appearance of it. I had expected a lot more lettuce inside. It looked more like chicken salad rather than salad with chicken. The flavor was good and it was not too spicy! The focaccia was very soft. The Napa Club had great flavor to it, but when I was eating it I could really tell that there was avocado inside of it. The predominant flavor was the garlic and herb aioli. I did feel the chicken was a touch on the dry side. Overall, my experience and food were good; however, I am not sure I agree with the rave reviews. I would return in the future and would love to try some of their other meats aside from chicken, and their pasta salad also looked nice. The service was friendly and I feel like the price was fair. It's a nice addition to downtown Farmington! read more

I have been wanting to try this for a while now!!! Got the prosciutto panino on their foccacia.... I've never had another Sammy like it! The ricotta & fig jam made it so yummy. First time in downtown Farmington as well, such a cute area. Parking was busy for lunch but was able to find a spot eventually. Their house Italian dressing is YUM too!! read more

The sandwiches here are so insanely good. I've tried a few but my favorites are the spicy muffuletta and the corn beef one they have! The breakfast sandwiches are pretty good too if you can get them during their serving hours! The restaurant itself is very clean and tidy and the staff is always nice! read more

Stopped by La Pecora Nera for lunch today. We ordered #13 MBLT and #10 Chicken Parmesan subs. They were freshly made and delicious. The staff at LPN is very friendly and efficient. We had our food in no time. Next time, we plan to come early and try out their breakfast menu, which looked interesting. read more
Finally got to try out this little Italian deli. The man who took our order was so friendly, as well as the man who made our sandwiches. We got the #2 turkey bella (Turkey breast, lettuce, tomato, fresh mozzarella, bacon, fresh basil, house garlic & herb aioli) and the #10 chicken parmigiana (italian-style breaded chicken breast, mozzarella, parmesan tomato, fresh basil, house marinara sauce). Both were jam packed with flavor, fresh tasting ingredients, and the bread was so warm and toasty. They do NOT skimp on the meat! These were by far the best sandwiches we have ever had. Can't wait to try their other sandwiches and breakfast menu! I grew up hanging out in downtown Farmington during my middle and high school years in the 2000's and there has been so much change over the years with so many new restaurants/businesses. I am so glad to see la Pecora nera (the black sheep) and Cannelle (both originally from Detroit) come to downtown Farmington. Edit : I later realized that they forgot the tomato in my Turkey Bella. read more

The number 7 blew me away, Italiano was delicious as well. Bread tasted like it was baked fresh, loved it. The Italiano and number 7 were on two different types of bread, both delicious. Meats were so fresh. Service was quick and friendly, read more
I was excited to try this spot, as I've heard about the one in Detroit. My sister and I ordered separately, she ordered a meatball sub, a corned beef sandwich and the Italiano (I don't have a pic of this, but I thought it was strange for an Italian sandwich to have turkey on it). Anyway, I ordered the #7 Prosciutto w/ricotta, arugula and fig jam, plus some tomato basil soup and a latte while I waited. We came in around 2:30 on a Monday afternoon, there were people sat 1 table and that was it. We ordered and probably waited 15 minutes for our take out orders. It was very clean looking inside, but it was very cold inside, the cashier had a winter coat on. I'll only comment on what I ordered, the tomato basil soup had a really strange look to it. There were little white dots throughout, I think milk/cream maybe curdled when added to tomato base. The flavor was fine, I liked the homemade croutons that it was served with. I was really excited to try the #7, as I had a taste for prosciutto. When I opened the sandwich up, I was disappointed to see that it was made with salami!! There was ricotta, arugula, but I'm not sure if that was fig jam, it almost looks dark like balsamic (but it was sweet). I'm not sure what my sandwich was, it was clearly marked "#7" on the wrapping. The latte was good. I took a some pics of the sandwiches my sister ordered, I think they were all made properly. I'm disappointed, as this was my first time here and my order was made wrong, it wasn't even busy at the time. read more

I've tried a few of their sandwiches but I've got to say they have the best Italiano! Fresh focaccia bread thats still warm is a game changer! The service is pretty quick and the people are friendly! They play nice music in the background that goes with their theme, they keep it clean inside as well. Also they have some of the best cannoli's! read more

I've just had one of the most filling and satisfying sandwiches that I have had in a while. I ordered the chicken parm sandwich and it delivered loads of flavor. The person who took my order and the cook both helped me decide. I decided to eat in front of the restaurant because it is a nice day. Upon sitting down I realized that I was sitting next to fresh herbs that were planted there by the restaurant! The basil, oregano, rosemary, and mint smelled so good while I decompressed and ate my lunch. The sandwich also had loads of fresh basil in it as well! Total score and I will be back for breakfast. read more
