We rolled into this sandwich shop today and it was a delight. From the ample off street parking to…read morewalking in and being greeted. It has a vibe of a old soda shop... But I'm going to tell you everybody hustles of this place. The orders come up fast even though it was busy. We sat down at the counter and ordered up a Ryan, it is a signature roast beef coleslaw lettuce, onions, tomato with Swiss sandwich... It had Russian dressing on it and the roll was as fresh as the roast. Beef was rare. Absolutely delicious!. The iced tea was real and tasty and you could add your own sugar to get it to the right sweetness and we added a drink from the refrigerators that will help yourself. The milkshakes look delicious, but we decided to split a cookie which tasted homemade and very chocolatey for the ride home. What a great place with inside and outside seating. Employees that work hard but smile and food that was as fresh as possible. We will be back.

Meatball Mondays Buy one meatball sub, get one free…read moreVery good meatballs I ordered with cheese, cooked peppers and onions . I wanted the peppers more stewed that grilled .

Possibly the worst pizza I have ever had in my entire life!…read more Ordered two 18" pizzas via GrubHub, a sausage & ricotta, and a pepperoni. The former was a swimming pool of liquid on top, and wasn't even sliced. Unsliced pizza? Maybe they were worried all that liquid would destroy the box if they sliced it? The crust of the second one was actually soggy. Floppy pizza is a thing, but it shouldn't disintegrate! Also, the cheese over-cooked so that the oil separated, and the pizza was extremely salty. Combine that with the GrubHub (or store's?) driver just dropping the pizzas in my neighbor's driveway, and a photo of the location didn't show up for some time in the app, so I had to wander around randomly looking for my pizzas in my pajamas. Ate a few slices, but threw the rest in the garbage. Basically inedible. Never again!

""Meet me at the deli, meet me at the bar."…read more(The Strokes) Gianni's is a family-owned deli and pizzeria on Highland Street in the heart of Needham's busy Central Business District. They don't occupy a particularly large space -it's dominated by an ordering station with a big menu board over it, and a small showcase for their highly rated pizzas. Why "highly rated"? Well, they scored a 7.9 rating on Barstool sports, just a scant .1 of a point from their 8.0's description of "exceptional and rare". But we weren't there for pizza, we wanted to pick up some subs for a few lunches on our weekend trip. They have 14 "cold" and 10 "hot" sandwiches, and the pricing structure really makes you a fool if you don't go big. Our Italian and Ham and Cheese subs were prices at $11.99 for small and $12.99 for a large, so you tell me what choice you would make? My large Italian sub easily provided a satisfying half for Friday lunch and a second half for Saturday lunch. It was an excellent sandwich with plenty of meat on a pillowy soft sesame breaded sub roll with lettuce, tomato, onions and vinegar, Have I had subs with more meat? Of course I have. But have I paid around $20 for comparably sized subs? Of course I have. So, was I happy for Gianni's value, considering quality, quantity, and price? One thousand percent YES. Service was friendly and we enjoyed our visit very much. Of Note Their parking lot is tiny, so it would be challenging to negotiate on a perfect weather day. It was a snowy mess when we visited, and the mounds of snow and sardine-like jam-up of cars made the lot a hard pass for us. We ended up parking in the big lot across the street, behind Blue On Highland and walked over.

Cost was high for a tuna sub ($12.95?) and it's a cash-only establishment, with an ATM onsite. Ambiance was such that I ate in my car rather than dining in.

Once inside, it was more like a semi firearm, stand supermarket. Some items are grown on the farm some sourced from other farms and some just regular grocery items that you would find at any generic supermarket. The vegetables that were grown on this farm were all marked and were fabulous but they were very far and few between. they were selling some local farms goods which increased the options of locally grown. I did like the bread section some locally made in some generic.. they also have foods that are prepackaged. I like the items that were made at the farm. The others were just overpriced generic items. all in all I'd say about 40 to 50% is grown and produced, the rest are just basic generic grocery items with a higher price on them. The space is fabulous very refreshing and comfortable to walk around. the staff always seems nice, polite, and willing to answer questions. I definitely suggest that you stop in as it is a great place to shop. as for parking, they have a huge private parking lot and space outside to sit. They also have greenhouse plants for sale.

So far, I've had the short rib mac n cheese, steak and cheese, spring fling smoothie and the Mykonos smoothie. The mac n cheese is decent; it's creamy with a crust.

The thick cut fries are perfectly seasoned with salt and pepper. The service is friendly and efficient. The cashiers are very knowledgeable of the menu. The space is clean and feels welcoming. No pictures yet since I finished eating without making a review. Will be back.

We tried a slice of pizza in the Sicilian version which had amazing taste with just the right amount of sauce. I ordered the number 80 and added pickles. I got the small size which was just enough for someone who does not eat a ton. The proportion on the sandwich was perfect and the jalapeño mayo was amazingly delicious. Parking was easy right in front of the restaurant. There was a variety of pre-cooked meals, as well as desserts, chips and a wide variety of drinks available. The menu is quite extensive with 80 sandwiches alone. Never mind the pizzas, pasta dishes and appetizers available. I highly suggest looking over the menu prior to your arrival at the restaurant or it could probably be overwhelming. I will definitely go back to try other menu items.

They offer a wide variety of drinks, prepared meals, and desserts, and the menu itself is extensive with plenty of options. I ordered three different sandwiches to try. The chicken parm was solid, though it could have used a bit more sauce. The triple decker was definitely a standout--really flavorful and well put together. Unfortunately, the Italian sandwich didn't meet expectations. Despite being the most expensive option, it had very little meat, lacked flavor, and the bread was dry. It just felt like it was missing something and wasn't worth the price. On a positive note, the Sicilian pizza was absolutely amazing--perfectly doughy and packed with flavor. I'd definitely come back, but would skip the Italian next time.

It is a small place, quite messy, with a lot of activity (baking cookies, slicing meats) that had little to do with customer service. As I was the only customer there (at 1:25 in the afternoon) i was ignored (despite my attempts to converse) until I called out for a chicken parmigiana sandwich to go. The bread is fresh, but the sandwich merely had small pieces of breaded chicken--essentially just little bites, like one would cut for a toddler. Sauce was underwhelming and surprisingly (and disappointingly) sweet. I also purchased some premade penne with marinara for dinner. Again, the marinara was very dull...and sweet. The sandwich cost $14.75, and the penne was another $11.00. There were no pizza slices, no arancini. Rather disappointing and bare. In fact, the lemon cookie I bought, which was NOT mind blowing in any sense, was the single best thing I bought there. I know good Italian deli, and yes, I have been to Sicily on several occasions. This was more like a Subway attempt at Italian food. I do not expect to go back.
