    Southwestern Chicken Hot sandwich
    Ayatt A.

    I picked up some take out here on a friday night around 6:30. They close at 8 and by the time I had called they were out of 3 things I wanted. First they didn't have any sauce left for the Engine 2 sandwich, so I asked for a reuben instead. Then they called and said they didn't have the reuben, so I asked for the pulled pork sandwich. When I picked up the food they had given me a reuben anyway. They were also out of french fries so we all went with chips instead. They were homemade and ended up being delicious. My roommate also ordered the salmon with seasonal veggies which we were told was eggplant, zucchini and peppers. When we got home we realized they have given us spinach instead. Although the food was delicious, I think it's best to go in the afternoon!

    Best meatball sandwich I've been able to buy since... maybe ever.

    I walked in and asked for lunch recommendations. The owner was happy to help. Then I asked for a meatball to sample, because I'm Italian and I love meatballs, but no one ever makes them right. I was happily served a sample and the only thing I can say is that wow, if my mom's Sunday meatballs are a ten, this was a solid nine. I was blown away. This was maybe the best meatball I've ever bought. I was informed that meatball sandwiches come with either fresh fries or fresh potato chips. I made a face for about five seconds at this choice and didn't even have to suggest a salad substitution - it was happily offered before I even opened my mouth. Ooh, the salad was beautifully fresh, and dressing was homemade, just like mom's. Amazing food, amazing service, standard deli prices. Five stars, no questions. I would eat here every single day if I worked nearby.

    My wife and I went here for lunch. It's a small place but lots of choices. I got chicken salad sandwich and my wife got the BLT. The bread on both our sandwiches fell apart and was saggy. The guy who took our order was higher than a kite and messed up our simple orders. We won't be eating there again.

    I always hate getting take out as it is always the same options, Chinese food, pizza or regular deli sandwiches! Then there is Simple Fare! They are bringing take out to a whole new level. You have the option of the sandwiches if you want, but you can also get nice made to order high end meals! The eggplant parm is great, not to much breading, served over pasta and enough for 2 meals! I order the daily special for lunch last week, called ahead then went and picked it up and it was ready to go, where else could you get made to order pistachio encrusted salmon served over citrus risotto and served with asparagus as a take out lunch? They are really bringing take out to a whole new level!

    My mother-in-law rarely makes the trip down to "The Avenue" (Massachusetts Avenue) anymore because…read moreshe misses so many of the businesses that have left. When she does trek down, it's for the delectable, overflowing with meat, pastrami sub from D'agostino's. There's so much pastrami that she takes out half of it and saves it for a second serving. My husband says that the pastrami is very lean and that's what makes it so good. Meanwhile, I'm the vegetarian who loves that they offer a cheese sub! They're also heavy-handed with the cheese portions! Along with having a small grocery market, they offer New England-made desserts, ice creams (Barts and Shain's of Maine), salty snacks (Wrap City chips), and ready to heat and eat entrees. D'Agostino's is handicapped accessible and has a small private parking lot with free parking. There's also on-street parking.

    We recently moved to the Waltham area and have been on the hunt for the best spot to get an Italian…read moreSub delivered! After pouring through reviews and local forums, people consistently mentioned D'Agostino's. I decided to give it a try. Everyone was right: It is a great sandwich! I ordered the small, traditional Italian sub. I ordered mine with easy oil/vinegar, tomatoes, hots, lettuce, and mayo. I'm not a fan of raw onions whatsoever. The sub arrived perfectly, fresh not soggy. The sub roll is super soft, yet somehow holds up to the vegetables and condiments! The bread is freshly baked and some of the best bread I've had from a sub spot! The sub was piled generously, yet sliced perfectly thin for a more "airy" bite. This is exactly how I like my sandwich. I am not a fan where it's like biting into a giant, thick slab of meat. Here, the meat is sliced thin and arranged in such a way that every bite is "airy". True sub fabs will know exactly what this means. The closest example to this is the chain, Jersey Mikes. The meats were sliced thin. Arranged perfectly on that pillow-soft sub roll. Veggies were great, fresh and crisp. Juicy tomatoes. Delicious hots that truly make the sandwich! This is our new go-to for subs in Waltham. Next time, I'll try to be more adventurous given they have a plethora of specialty subs. Sometimes, you just crave a solid, OG Original Italian Sub!

    No, I live in Texas now not Boston area, but that was where I grew up and lived most of my life…read more Even without trying, I can tell you I know this place is great I wish I were there to try it myself. I haven't seen really good Italian since I left Boston. And I miss it, especially having lived in the north end for the last 20+ years before I left and GrowingUpItalian. Oh, I can cook it, but you can't find the products that you can easily find back home. The person from this place I communicated with is so personable. If their food is half is good it's a definite winner.

    Came here to try the chopped Caesar sub, and for me it did not live up to the hype. First couple…read morebites seemed promising, as the dressing is pretty good, but then I got overwhelmed by the sheer amount of dressing in the sandwich and found myself trying to scrape off gobs of it. They're definitely more heavy handed on the sauce, so request light dressing or have it on the side if you're not lots of dressing. I also found the cutlets to be pretty sparse and dry, and the bread was just not good in texture or flavor. Service was fine, it took 20 mins to come out which was longer than I expected, and the space is small but has some seating. I might sound old, but the music was very loud and abrasive, so I didn't finish the other half of the sandwich and left. For $15 it wasn't my kinda sandwich so I probably won't be back.
