I've only ordered to-go, but the staff is welcoming and communicative. My favorites are the Diavolo Italiano, Muffuletta, and Onion Rings which are probably one of the best I've ever had. I tried the Veggies & Such sandwich which was really good. It does come warmed, but I really enjoyed it cold which I ate the next day. The cabbage soup was disappointing, it tasted more like a minestrone soup, which was ok, but expected cabbage soup with a unique tastes. As for the few other things I've tried....they were very yummy. Can't wait to try another sandwich on their menu....if in the area give it try....it will be worth it.

It came as a great recommendation! We didn't have it for a while since we live the low-carb life but were thrilled to learn they do a "sub in a tub". I love their tuna salad/sub. Their bread is soft, back when I could eat it. They don't overfill it with mayo either and add some mild peppers or hot on request. I like that they don't have onions at the deli so it doesn't overpower everything else. My husband typically loves the club. They rolled a generous amount into a container and I used scissors to quickly and easily cut it. It was a perfect lunch and I have enough for another tomorrow! For $8, or $11 for a generous tuna scoop, you can't beat it. Staff is also quick and friendly at the deli, as well as checkout. You can find all kinds of things for the house or to gift someone whether it's food, a cookie jar, something imported from Italy, or a homemade meal. You'll find something for everyone.

Great local sandwich shop close to O'Hare in Des Plaines…read more Free parking lot, super friendly and helpful staff. The sandwiches are large partitions and super good. The names are clever. My focaccia was excellent as was the prosciutto. Prices are reasonable. Can't wait to check it out again.

I ordered The Brando (their Italian sandwich) and it was fantastic. The Calabrian chili aioli completely made the sandwich, I'd never had it before and now I'm officially a fan. The place itself has a cool old school Italian deli feel with plaid tablecloths, and the staff told me they just opened in June 2025. I grabbed mine to go since I was working the convention center, but it looked like a cozy spot to sit down too. It's a little hidden, but totally worth seeking out. Definitely one of those spots I'll stop at again when I'm in the area.

The menu offers various espresso drinks, tea, sandwiches, and desserts; they also have various packaged snacks and such you could purchase around the counter. We ordered the Latte with almond milk and a Mocha - both were just not drinkable at all - it had an unpleasant bitter and grainy taste to it, and we just couldn't see the hype on this place. Service was friendly, and there were some seating inside as well as some tables in front of the cafe; unfortunately, we just couldn't dine in either option since it just reeked of cigarettes.

There's a two-sided counter in the middle with freezer and refrigerator cases full of deliciousness on one side and the sandwich and cold case items, like macaroni salad, eggplant rolls, marinated olives, etc. on the other.

We didn't have a cooler with us of we'd have picked up the lasagna as recommended by a man picking up dinner for guests and his wife, or some of the fresh sausages or meatballs. Highly recommend eating here in general and definitely before going to nearby Rolling Stones or HIP!

We really enjoyed their arranchini ! It's the best one I've ever had and the second best one my husband has ever had next to the ones he tried in actual Italy! Loved their chewy texture and offering it warmed up with sauce. Delectable and simply devine! Would love to come back to try their breaded steak sandwich ! You can't go wrong with whatever you order. Their homemade spicy sausage is also amazing! Decently affordable for the quality that you're getting. They take both cash and card. Really enjoyed the old school Italian Chicago neighborhood vibes!
