    Awesome little sandwich spot. It was surprisingly busy for a Monday, but great prices and great food!

    la chancleta
    Nazia C.

    I cannot stress how good these sandwiches are. The bread is toasted crisp and the fillings are absolutely delicious. They have a delicious homemade hot sauce. I've had la chancleta sandwich which contains pastrami and roast beef with hot giardianiera, mayo, mustard, lettuce and tomato. The ingredients seem so simple but the sandwich is so good! I also tried their coconut avena and quesito. The quesito is not too sweet and filled with a good amount of cheese.

    Friendly bar

    Awesome Humboldt park sandwich spot. Very friendly people working there and the food was high quality as well. Do t be intimidated by the regulars sitting around the bar. They will buy you a shot while you wait for your sandwich. They also have fresh soups on weekends and you can taste the love. I'll be back to try other sandwiches here in the future.

    Ham & cheese and chancleta
    Marlene S.

    Stopped by on a Sunday for lunch and lucky for us not too much of a wait. We had a hard time deciding since we like to share meals, so we did the ham and cheese and the chancleta (it was recommended by the staff). We also got some cafe con leche and a quesito. Everything was super delicious and filling. I would like to try more sandwiches!

    Excellent place to stop for a sandwich. The team is friendly, the food is fast and delicious and the portions are large! Try one for breakfast or lunch!

    This is a damn good sandwich. I found this place in Yelp and it did not disappoint . There are about 4 sandwiches that are not the online menu. I got the chulecita (spelling?) but it was hot? Crunchy, spicy, delicious. The only change I'd make would be to get rid of mustard or get it on the side . Staff was incredibly kind and personable and sandwich was ready in less than 5 minutes during lunch rush . I'll be back to try the Italian

    A panorama of the place as I looks a lot more established than my last review a few years ago.

    I've been here a few times. As a matter of fact not just because of the food but because of the people & the atmosphere. This is my comfort zone. Great Music, People & Food. I highly recommend this establishment as it continues to evolve in ways that make it better. By the way... the best Puerto Rican Coffee in Town.

    Shot de Coquito
    Gabriela P.

    The place it's small cozy, more like neighborhood cafe/bar welcoming. We were greeted and she explain the menu (being our first time) she was patient and super friendly. Got the chancleta it delicious and shot coquito was delicious,creamy.

    La Chancleta
    Yarelis C.

    Everything was great! The service was so cozy and made me feel at home. My husband and I had the Chancleta and it was so delicious! 20/10, can't wait to be back!

    Steak Sandwich

    The food was great, service was very good. Everyone was friendly. I loved the thinly sliced steak I had in my sandwich and the bread was toasted to perfection. It's a cute place and I will return. Just wish they sold fries but I ordered chips on the side instead.

    Bacon eggs and cheese huge

    Go Holler @ Amy tell her KG sent you for a good meal service and drink Sandwiches are worth the money If you are a construction worker in the working in the area, this is a good place to go for breakfast sandwich and come back after work

    Amazing food, excellent service and wonderful ambience. Thank Ivy for your hospitality. You make me feels like I was in PR...

    It's been a month since I flew to Chicago and tried this place, but it's absolutely a place you…read morecannot forget. Small spot you could casually pick up food and walk to if you're around downtown. Lots of cheese and sauce with a beautiful baguette to remind you that this place makes pizza too. Dough, cheese, and sauce are what this place really excels in. It's no surprise that they do it well across the board. Out of the sandwiches I tried, the gardinera pairs the best with the Drunken Chicken sandwich. I'm unsure if my hunger pangs were amplifying my experience, but this sandwich was something of legends... The ingredients combo into something a little too unfair to not be distributed to the rest of America. The food really feels special when you have it late night after a really long day of fun. The people are casual and nice and didn't make it awkward to eat there even though the place itself is quite small. Considering cops came in to order here out of all the places around, I can see how anyone could make this their staple spot.

    I order via delivery once or twice a week and Nonna's is on repeat. It's solid and travels well…read more Today I ordered the drunken chicken, which is a chicken parm with vodka sauce, and pesto. It is shareable and hearty. The bread is so good. It's crusty and soft on the inside. It allows the right amount of sauce to soak in without being a giant mess. I don't consider it a save half and eat later sandwich though. In my experience it loses a bit of structure if not eaten right away. I have had the turkey, tuna, and meatball sandwich as well. All good and able to split into 2 meals and they save well. As mentioned, this spot is on repeat for me and haven't disliked anything. The pizza is ok but I wouldn't choose it as my pizza spot. There are better but if you are in a pinch a single slice option is nice. I enjoy the little Tiramisu cup. Perfect size. If you normally scroll by and wonder if you should try Nonna's go ahead. It's a good option.

    I've been trying to come here for a while, but it's always packed. This time we showed up right…read morewhen they opened, and yeah... worth it. Still busy, but manageable. I walked in and the incredible smell hit me, all the meats and bread on display, everything looks fresh. The crew behind the counter was top notch, super friendly and on it. Menu has a lot, but for my first time I went with the Italian. Hot capicola, Genoa salami, hard salami, mortadella, provolone, lettuce, tomato, red wine vinegar, oregano. First bite... everything just came together. The meats were layered perfectly, salty, a little spicy from the capicola, super flavorful. The provolone added that creamy, slightly sharp bite. Bread had a nice chew on the outside but soft inside, held everything without falling apart. The vinegar and oregano gave it that tang and freshness that cuts through all the richness. Nothing felt too heavy, just balanced. It's one of those sandwiches you don't wanna put down halfway through. I'll definitely be back to try more.

    It's almost like being around my Italian cousins out on the East Coast…read more.. We were fortunate enough to be having dinner at an Italian restaurant in the same block, and I saw that they were open until midnight. I decided to grab a grinder and a couple of cannoli after dinner to consume the next day for lunch. They utilize a walk-up window for their later hours. I believe I mentioned during ordering that we "do not get grinders like this in Cali" and they were kind enough to let us indoors (surely knowing this weather was nearly "Antarctic penguin cold" for us) while our order was being finished. I saw various jars of giardiniera and muffuletta and could not resist buying a couple. Our store associate kindly wrapped them well in plastic wrap to ensure safe travel back to Cali. Our sandwich maker was a cool guy as well and conversational with us. They even gave us some brief family history on the place. Unfortunately, without my knowledge the wife set us up with an Uber while waiting so we had to dash and run to make our next stop before their closing time. "Foodies are as foodies do"... The FOOD review: CANNOLI w/cherries: -- it appears they use Amarena Bologna cherries which are so much better tasting than the standard maraschino bright red ones. I prefer morello cherries or these when using them in cannoli pie or on Chicago style or ricotta cheesecake. -- cheese tastes of cow's milk ricotta and is well strained so not watery -- lightly sweet is appreciated as it should be...no fake Italian sugar bomb with chocolate sauce and whipped cream like they do in Cali sometimes -- smaller portion size but value is good -- smoother textured than grainy -- shell is light colored and pretty solid -- up to a moderate dusting of powdered sugar on exterior -- appears freshly filled as there is no soggy shell syndrome whatsoever, crunchy and firm (I ate one two days later and it still had a firm shell) -- I have about 8 different cannoli pie recipes I created and make for friends, family and colleagues now and then. I transitioned to pie ages ago because there are so many bad shells and a graham cracker crust is always legit and easy to find. -- IMHO this is a much better and truer cannoli rendition than what you will find at D'Amato's Bakery in Chicago RATING = A "MR. G SPECIALTY GRINDER": -- I briefly considered "The Italian" or asking for a combo of the two but this stood out so I stuck with it -- I requested it "wet" as I hate anything dry (bread, meat etc.) and prefer extra "juice" (red wine vinegar, EVO) -- bread is not thick nor thin but just right with great texture, taste and freshness -- loved all the flavors and additions -- not a moose overloaded grinder but just right for those out of their twenties who do not need "sandie leftovers for days" -- good value here too RATING = A+ They even sell some appealing looking BLOOD ORANGE (and other flavors) sorbet. I definitely recommend them for a super hospitable Italiano experience with great eats. They even made the "Top Sandwich joints" in America list by Food & Wine magazine per associate and a quick Internet search.
