Strada has completely changed what I expect from a sandwich in Fresno. This is not a basic deli situation. The bread is focaccia style, thick and chewy and honestly good enough to eat on its own. What they build on top of it is even better. Really quality ingredients, nothing stingy, everything layered in a way that actually makes sense. I've tried a few different sandwiches and haven't had a bad one yet. The space looks great too. Clean, modern, the kind of place that photographs well but also just feels nice to sit in. Good for lunch with someone or a solo work break. Its up on Friant which is north Fresno but the drive is easy and parking is no issue. Open until 9pm which gives you way more flexibility than most lunch spots. Desserts also looked really good, I grabbed something on the way out and did not regret it. Prices are fair for what your getting. The quality is genuinely there. Strada is one of those spots that makes you happy its in your city. read more

I love that my office is across the street from Strada. I wanted to see what all the hype was about. I went and got the ham sandwich. I love, love the fresh bread. I could totally get their bread and dip it in some hot garlic butter, and it will be so fantastic. I did get extra toppings and also splurge on a couple of the premium toppings. As soon as I walked in, everyone was smiling and happy to be at work. I happen to look up and pull up when there was no line outside. The sandwich was really good. Everything just melted together in the sandwich. There were a few sandwiches. I would like to try each time I visit. I will come back again, it was a really good experience, I got in and out really fast. The sandwich was good, but I'm a pickle girl and I need a real good pickle, when I have a sandwich. But that will not stop me from going back again. It is worth a try just to see what all the hype is about. When we went in, the insight was really clean, the lights were nice and bright. You could order your sandwich sit at a table and enjoy yourself while you eat. read more

Clean, fresh atmosphere with really nice, helpful employees. Paper menus while you wait for counter service, so that you can decide what you'd like. I love the turkey and Brie sandwich, with added arugula, avocado, and fresh tomato. It is outstanding and my go to sandwich each time I visit. Portions are very generous and filling. Each ingredient is delicious and adds to an overall great experience. And the warm bread? Nothing better. There are so many options: their tuna looks great, I've also tried a zucchini sandwich. That was really delicious. There is something for everyone. There is a line out the door, frequently. I plan my visits, on the way home from work on Tuesday afternoons and arrive there at 5 PM with no wait at all, consistently. My new favorite sandwich place! read more

Strada - Turkey and brie, dressed up with maple bacon spread, tomato, avocado, and arugula. - Sandwiches Near Me - Fresno, California

First time here as I am not from this area. Sis raved about the sandwich she got a few weeks ago and said the bread is amazing. They make their own bread. The staff was friendly and yes the bread was amazing. I got a create your own with truffle spread, artichoke spread and creamy mozzarella to start. I also added red onion + avocado (of course) with the marinaded bell peppers that were delicious. Overall, my sandwich was very delicious and I would return read more

Strada is one of the newest places but also one of the best! Keeping this short and sweet, the service is great and quick! The tuna sandwich is amazing, sweet and savory! The vibe of Strada is calm with a good amount of seating! read more

Finally got to try this place after the hype died down a bit. It's nice to see how fresh all of the ingredients are, especially the bread being made off to the side. I decided to get the Prosciutto sandwich, thinking that I maybe wouldn't like it. However, it was really good and I actually liked that the prosciutto wasn't super salty and that the arugula wasn't too peppery tasting. The staff greeted everyone nicely with a smile and were happy to help. Just wish they could speak up a little bit but maybe it's just me. The inside was clean and well decorated. It does get pretty packed though so it can be difficult to find seating once you get your order. read more

Strada - Prosciutto Sandwich - Sandwiches Near Me - Fresno, California

my reasoning for three stars is just the lack of consistency. We really enjoy coming here, but it's definitely a hit or miss. My husband thinks it's the bread that has some trial and error to go through. Some sandwiches are amazing and some days we're just kind of left feeling like they were average. Oddly enough, my favorite sandwich there is the tuna. I've tried almost all of them and you can't really go wrong except for when they they're having an off day. I wish the sandwiches came with more stuff on them, but it's easy to customize in the line. We will keep coming back. We just hope as time goes on their level of consistency goes up. The outdoor patio is really nice especially for families. when we were sitting out there, we had Staff approach us and asked if we needed anything and help us get stuff for our leftovers. That was a really nice touch. read more

Strada - mortadella sandwich - Sandwiches Near Me - Fresno, California

Wow, kinda surprised at how good this spot was. I knew it wasn't going to be an All'Antico, but damn it does the job given the area we're in. 8/10 for the sandwich. I made a custom one with turkey and salami, added sun-dried tomato spread and pesto spread with fresh mozzarella, some veggies and avocado. It was great. The bread is the star, soft on the inside, crispy on the outside. 6.5/10 for the cookie. Not bad but nothing special about it. Some flaky salt on the top would have helped. Service was top-tier, chik-fil-a level read more

I really liked the sandwiches here. My only negative was that I think it could benefit from a little bit more meat to bread ratio. The tiramisu and the Nutella dessert sandwiches were also very tasty. The staff was nice and even though there was quite a line it moved pretty quickly. I would recommend that you give it a try if you haven't yet. read more

Let me start this off by saying, I was raised an Italian-American New Yorker. So my bar for this kind of food is excessively high! Where I'm from Italian deli is taken very very very seriously! We have very specialized stores just for this kinda thing. However, this kind of sandwich shop is definitely different than the way that I was raised. This is more aligned with All'Antico than a standard New York Italian deli. All that being said, STRADA is one of the very best things to happen to Fresno in a damn long time. I ordered way too many sandwiches & knew we wouldn't be able to eat them all, but we prefer combinations over more singular type sandwiches. So I asked them to deconstruct everything & they did! And they did it perfect perfectly w/out any fuss. That's why the picture is just of the bread. I forgot to take pictures after I crafted my new masterpiece combos. What I need to highlight here more than anything is the quality of the meats. That's something so very very rare to find outside of the NYC area. Practically nobody outside the Tri State area has decent Italian cold cuts. Not even in places you'd think would. Trust me when I tell you that we NYers have a different standard for Italian cold cuts. Everything was expertly cut, thinly sliced as it should be. Next, let's talk about their toppings. The quality of their oil & aged balsamic vinegar are off the charts, especially for a sandwich shop. All of the other toppings (like pesto, truffle spread, roasted tomato, pistachio spread, pecorino cream) were so perfectly balanced & so fresh & tasty. They fully enhanced the sando!!! So can they do anything better? Absolutely not! Maybe except for offering a build your own. But still this place is otherwise perfect! Will be back again & again!!! --Thanks, STRADA! You've given me a slice of home & of something new to love. Rare has that happened outside NY. Ahhhh, but let's talk bread!!! That focaccia is absolutely magnificent! It's light yet lightly greased, exactly as it should be, to keep it from being dry. I could eat that bread for days & days. read more

When I stopped by I waited about 30-minutes for two sandwiches, which is nuts, but this place is super popular right now. I'd give it a month until the line starts to slow. I ordered two sandwiches, the roasted turkey with basil pesto and the spicy soppressata with pecorino cheese. Both were incredible and couldn't be more different in terms or flavor. As a California boy, I really loved the avocado addition to the roasted turkey sandwich and that basil pesto... bottle it! Because it needs to be on every sando I make at home. The spicy soppressata is the sandwich that will be on my regular rotation. I love heat and this spicy meat paired with the sun dried tomato spread is delicious! The bread must be mentioned, all of the focaccia here is made in house, given a lite butter bath and served. It's also the only bread, that I saw, that's offered here. Super soft, fluffy, and loaded with flavor, it's fantastic! People keep comparing Strada to Sam's Deli. They both make sandwiches and that's about where similarities end. Sam's is a deli with a market that focuses on Italian imported goods. Strada is a sandwich shop that only focuses on Italian sandwiches... and I'm here for it! read more

Now in their second week, Strada, the newest Pardini restaurant in Fresno has opened with a bang! I normally give a restaurant a month or so prior to trying and reviewing to allow"bugs" to be worked out. No need to with Strada. After reading the great reviews hfor Heirloom, a close neighbor, we decided to go there for Mother's Day lunch. Looking at the 150 plus people awaiting the opening, we moved down the parking area a bit to Strada. With an about 30 people waiting outside and another 40 or so waiting inside, we decided to go for it. About 35-40 minutes later a very talented looking crew was preparing our Sandwiches. The wait wasn't bad and I spent it learning about this new eatery. A knowledgeable young lady who was passing out menus to the line was very helpful with a friendly personality and seemingly a full understanding of the menus content really helped. The inside was clean, neat and comfortable. Some Italian music would have added a nice touch. I ordered the Spicy Soppressata, a nice sausage with spicy Calabrian pepper spread, Sun dried Tomato spread and Arugula. My wife ordered the Prosciutto Sandwich with fresh mozzarella and tomato, arugula, olive oil and aged balsamic. Both sandwiches were created with care and were absolutely delicious. Speedy prep and checkout. The best sandwich I've eaten in a long time. I thank the extreme line at Heirloom for directing us to Strada. Jimmy, you did it again! We'll be back. There is still about a dozen sandwiches I want to try out. read more

Love this place! The line was a little long but honestly, it was well worth the hype. We waited about 20mins for our order to get taken (the line was well out the door about to reach the parking lot). The focaccia bread was cooked right in front of you so you know it's super fresh. I really appreciated that they crafted the sandwiches right in front of you and the methodical approach they took to layering the ingredients and wrapping the sandwich to make it look presentable. I got the prosciutto with salami added. It was delicious! The only thing I would change is to add more balsamic but that's my personal preference. I also got the fresh baked cookie. Amazing! It was soft, warm, ooey-gooey chocolate--just delicious. I'd literally go back just for it. The restaurant was well decorated with plenty of seating. It was also very clean, making it an excellent dine-in experience. read more

Located in the parking lot of Noble credit union and a short distance from their sister restaurant Annesso's, you'll always find a long line outside of Strada. If you are in line outside, it can take anywhere between 20 and 30 minutes to get to the front and complete your order. It's a very similar setup to Butterfish in that the line wraps around and you place your order, making your way to all of the ingredients, including the spreads and proteins. The setup seems to have a lot of room for improvement in efficiency. The few times that we were there, we saw one, sometimes two, individuals cutting bread or at the bread station. There's one person who takes the order, grabs the bread, and puts the spread on. From there, someone in the back slices the protein and a third person puts the sandwich together and passes it down to be wrapped. On our first go round, it took an hour to get in and they messed up my order by giving me someone else's. I already paid for it had to wait about 10 minutes to get my order. We've tried the Mortadella which my husband swears by and will not deviate from. I think it is delicious although the ham is more of a bologna texture. Everything about the mortadella I loved minus the protein so I subbed it out for prosciutto at our next visit. The prosciutto ended up being a bit too salty. Our third visit, I tried the Straciatella. This didn't come with a protein, so I ended up adding the prosciutto again. It was just ok with the prosciutto. The price points for the sandwiches are very fair. I think that once they become more efficient on the line, the reviews will creep up a little bit closer to five stars. read more

The sandwich was very yummy! Walking into the restaurant felt super clean and just really classy. I enjoyed being able to watch them craft my sandwich together and even watch them take the focaccia bread out, freshly baked, and used for the sandwich. The service was wonderful! Everyone was very nice and friendly! The line was out the door and it wasn't as long as I thought it would take. My only big issue which is honestly why it's a 4/5 was because when they took out the bread from the oven, there was a whole in it. Instead of saving it they threw away right in front of us. It was a perfectly baked loaf with just a small hole in it. I understand not using it because quality control but I also think they didn't need to throw it out, at least not in front of the line. It just felt wasteful. read more

Solid sandwich place! We got there a couple minutes after opening and it was only about a 15 min wait! Shout out to the workers, they are all doing an amazing job and have a lot of patience! We got the spicy soppressata and the roasted turkey with pesto! The spicy soppressata to me lacked flavor and I couldn't really taste any spice in it. I wouldn't get this again. However, the roasted turkey with pesto was very good, perfect amount of meat to veggie ratio and the bread they make from scratch is very good. The inside is clean, and service is top notch. Glad we have another solid spot to enjoy! Prices are fair! Can't wait to be back! read more

Got in line around 11 AM (Well not me, but my partner. Bless his soul). Took about 40 mins to get the orders made. There was ample seating inside & outside but took the orders to-go. Ordered the spicy soppressata and prosciutto sandwiches. I liked the spicy soppressata better but both were good. Spicy soppressata had the perfect amount of spice that wasn't overpowering. It had semi-thick slices of parm reg, which really added nuttiness and depth I really liked. This sandwich was warmer than the prosciutto sandwich given the prosciutto sandwich had more cold ingredients (mozzarella, tomato). I am a warm sandwich gal, which is why I probably liked the spicy soppressata more. Lastly, we ordered the Nutella & pistachio sandwich. It's half the size of a normal sandwich (& half the price). Very simple ingredients that uses the same focaccia, Nutella, pistachio nuts, and flaky salt. Simple but delicious! I wanted to be mad that I could make it at home but couldn't since it was just plain good lol. Overall, the place isn't All'Antico Vinaio. I do like the focaccia better at Sam's Italian Deli, but everything here was solid. I'd come again when the hype dies down. They also said they're coming out with mobile ordering soon, so that would help a lot! read more

My husband and I were excited to try this new Italian sandwich shop next to Annesso and owned by the same owners (Pardini). We went around 4 o'clock on Thursday after their opening and there was a line to get in. It probably took a half hour to get in and get to the ordering point. You order at the counter where you can see them making the bread and all the fresh ingredients to put on the sandwiches. I ordered the Tuscan ham and my husband got a plain turkey and salami sandwich with no spreads or toppings. He was happy with his. He loved the bread, and the meats are fresh and great quality. Unfortunately, my Tuscan ham had way too much spread or maybe the pecorino cream was just too overpowering. It was supposed to have a calabrian spicy spread, but I really couldn't taste the Calabrian Chile. I would not get those spreads in the future but probably just a drizzle of olive oil. The spreads were so overpowering I couldn't taste the freshness of any of the other ingredients. The foccacia bread was more crispy than chewy maybe because they warm it back up with olive oil right before making the sandwich. I would maybe ask that they not warm up the bread either if I go back. There was plenty of seating inside and outside on their patio, and everyone was super friendly. All in all with the fresh ingredients and fresh bread, this place definitely deserves a try from anyone looking for a good sandwich. read more

Love this spot! Sandwiches truly taste like you're in Italy. The bread is fresh and they have tons of spreads and toppings. Love it.

Impressed by the setup but left alot to be desired though. Wasn't a fan of the sandwich after a 30 min wait in line. Maybe it's a preference thing but I prefer multiple different cold cuts over 1. We bought the truffle spreaded one, which had a whole lot of arugula and a gob of cold mozzarella. Couldn't finish my half. They do look authentic to the sandwiches served in Italy though but I'll just stick to Sam's Deli. read more

Come early! I came on a Sunday at 11:00am and was pleasantly surprised there was a short line. After 11:30am there was a line out the door. I appreciated the small menu and chose the prosciutto sandwich. Delicious, fresh ingredients. For sides, they only have bagged chips. The jumbo cookies are definitely worth a try if you're looking for a sweet treat after lunch! read more

It's busy so go at an off-hour. I arrived about 8PM and the line still had formed. Simple offerings, I ordered the spicy sandwich, add tomatoes, sweet peppers, onions and pepper chinos and had them add a bit more spread. It's a large Sami so made 2 meals and let me tell you, after sitting in the fridge overnight, was SO MUCH BETTER! Ate cold. The bread and its texture is the distinct difference of what's going on here. And even overnight in the fridge, it held up well! Everything worked for me and I'm looking forward to trying something with turkey and avocado! -G read more

Not worth waiting out in the heat for. I've spent quite a bit of time in italy visiting my family who live there and this pales in comparison. The flavor is not there, or is completely underwhelming. I'm not sure if sandwich ingredients are made with low grade products, or are not sourced locally. Either way, this place pretty much only rides on the "freshly baked focaccia" motto which is honestly not hard to come by anymore. The one thing that was amazing was the chocolate chip cookie. Incredibly small on the inside. Wait until they have take out. read more

Came grand opening day. Service was very organized and smooth. Beautiful indoor seating area and patio seating with canopy umbrellas. The order: I got the prosciutto sandwich that comes with their homemade focaccia bread. The sandwich is cut into two pieces. First off, the bread is light and airy. Really great texture, not hard. My sandwich comes with fresh arugula and lightly drizzle aged balsamic vinegar. All the toppings pairs so well nicely. My sandwich was not complicated, just delicious. I also got their homemade chocolate chip cookie. This cookie was divine! I love how it is a thin crispy cookie. Very fresh when I got it. I would definitely get the cookie again. Staff were great, one approached me as I was finishing up and gave me a to-go bag when he saw I didn't finish the other half of the sandwich. Overall, wonderful experience. Great to see another Pardini business open up in Fresno. Will be back for more delicious sandwiches. read more

Let me start by saying I'm not typically a "sandwich" person, but this place was a very pleasant surprise. When we pulled up and saw the long line outside, I knew it had to be good--and I was all in! The menu is simple, offering a curated selection of sandwiches. I ordered the Roasted Turkey with Artichoke Spread and added salami. It was, without question, one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. The quality of the ingredients was outstanding, especially the artichoke spread, and the staff members were so friendly. But the real star of the show is the bread--fresh from the oven and absolutely delicious. This is the kind of place that turns a casual lunch into a memorable meal. I'll definitely be back!

I got here about 2pm on Saturday and the tables were full and the line to order was out the door. It took a good half hour before I was able to place my order, but the long wait in line gave me time to thoroughly look over a paper menu that is available at the door when you walk in. Which in my case was fine for me since being my first time here and not having a clue what to order, and every sandwich on the menu looked as equally delicious as the other. The fresh focaccia bread was coming directly out of the ovens before ordering. I ended up ordering the PROSCIUTTO, fresh mozzarella, tomato, arugula, olive oil, aged balsamic for $14 and added a pesto spread on one side of the bread and roasted sweet peppers for $1 extra. The sandwich was delicious and huge (I could only eat 1/2 of it) and saved the other half for later. I will definitely be coming back to try other sandwiches on the menu. read more

These owners have created the holy trinity of food spots in Fresno . The parking lot is mmleh wit so much going on but manageable. Walking inside it's a small to mid size eatery with inside and outside patio seating. I took my order to go though. You walk in and get in line wit a menu in hand to be ready to order when you hit the counter. If you have the gluten scaries, this is not the spot. I took my chances with the gluten and the bread was freshly being made You tell them you're order at the counter and can customize some toppings- some wit an additional cost. I got the turkey on artichoke and roasted tomato spread LOVED the artichoke spread... never had that in my sandwich before. Think of Italian deli bodega wit a modern health twist!!

Long wait outside in heat. Bread was the only thing good. No chicken option. Over priced and just ok. New restaurant hype .

I've been saying Fresno needs an Italian street sandwich shop for 20 years. So excited to try Strada!!! It was fantastic. From the start of the fresh made bread to the quality ingredients and combination of flavor profiles for each of the sandwiches it met all my expectations. We did have to wait in line for 45 minutes, but was worth it. They are hustling inside to keep things moving. We ordered the prosciutto sandwich and the straciatella and both were fantastic. It's super casual seating but as the rest of Pardini's restaurants, very nicely done. And to my surprise, not on menu, was a giant chocolate chip cookie which was perfection, chewy middle, crispy edges...yum. Can't wait until the takeout window is open! read more

I have heard so much about this place so we decided to give it a try. We got in line at 10:53 on a Sunday, they opened at 10:30. We did not make it through the line until 11:40. It was a very long wait, with majority of the wait outside in the sun. The seating area isn't that large and there were many tables that had finished eating and were just sitting around chatting leaving lots of people having to get their food to go as there was nowhere to sit. The employees seemed very friendly. Dining area was being tended to quickly and was very clean. We split a Tuscan salami sandwich with the artichoke spread. We asked them to also add a bit of pesto. We heard people ordering a side of zucchini so we decided to as well. The sandwich and zucchini were delicious! I definitely want to go back, but the long wait makes it hard especially with the summer and heat coming. read more

Strada - Sandwiches Near Me - Fresno, California

Since it's my 1st time trying today, I wanted to go inside to get a feel of how the experience is in person. Parking was not too stressful around 2pm but it was sooo hot. The line was outside and I waited 10 minutes to be able to get inside. Not fun but can't really do much. From the door, it took 25 minutes to start my order. It can be a bit crammed by the door since it's also next to the trash can, soda machine, and line. When I was able to order it was pretty simple until adding any toppings . The toppings menu is on the right side and will list what is free or an additional charge. (This is here in case you want to add more to your sandwich. Like I ordered the Capocollo sandwich which has toppings already but I added tomato) The line is busy so I felt like I couldn't get really think of adding anything else. I only got a pic for help in the future. In the end I would much rather order for pickup. It's not worth waiting in line especially in the summer. read more

Came here for the first time cus my bf wanted to try it.. I also ended up ordered a sandwich for my sis. Pulling up, u can already smell the fresh focaccia bread in the air.. it was tantalizing.. then I thought to myself.. hmm is it that smell or the pizza place next door lmaoo.. idk but when we got inside I smelled fresh bread in the works and it smelled really good! I was excited even tho i didn't come for me. The line was giving butterfish (IYKYK).. line wasn't too bad when we got there. I mean it was long but once we got to the middle it got LONGER!!! Once we go to the front where we could see the bread getting cut, I was like omg it smells so fuckin good. The focaccia looked so fresh and airy.. my anxiety started to kick in as we got closer like omg line is going and going so know wtf u want before getting to ol girl.. my bf wanted the Tuscan salami with truffle spread.. idk what else he did to it but I tasted it and it was delicious!! The truffle spread is wonderful! My sis has me get her the Tuscan salami with artichoke spread and the straciatella which we found out was a veggie sandwich so she asked for mortadella on it.. it was my first time there and the line was moving so quick I didn't wanna hold up the line and my anxiety was going crazy so I was like uhh yeah add this and uhh add that. And she was already putting shit on the sandwhich and then telling me u kno this a veggie sandwich so didn't bother to change it and added the meat she asked.. and asking me after what I want so we just kept it going. So it's kind of an assembly line kind of thing and now that im aware of how it works, u just tell them what u want to add in it as for as spread and toppings.. oil and vinegar is optional. If I was to go back next time, I wanna try the capocollo... it sounds good. Especially with their freshly baked bread cus they bake them fresh daily'!!! read more

Overall: A yummy place to eat! Went to try Strada over the weekend during a rush (2-3 pm) and ended up waiting 40 mins all together in line/ordering/receiving food. The long line ended up dying down at 4, so I wish we came at a different time lol. Staff tried their best to accommodate every customer Food: I went with my sibling and we ordered a prosciutto, tuscan ham, and spicy soppressata all together. Our favorite dish was definitely the prosciutto sandwich- the salty meat with warm toasted focaccia paired nicely with the mozzarella, arugula, and tomato! I added red onion and avocado with it too. If you want something with a little kick the tuscan ham/soppressata might be in your lane. Tuscan sandwich is very light (not too salty) and the sauce and arugula cuts through any heaviness from the meat/roasted eggplant/focaccia. Everything was fresh, and even your own meat was sliced on the spot as you ordered. This place is definitely worth trying, and I will be coming back Inside: I like how the interior is decorated, with the frosted glass blocking customers who were eating vs in line. We ate inside, and even with the long line there was almost always free tables/chairs (both indoor and outdoor) Con: My only complaint is with the operations of the establishment, assuming the owner is responsible. I really wished the items at the food bar were labeled for the customers, and there was a better work flow that the employees could follow (given by management). While waiting for line I noticed that the wait wasn't because of the volume of customers itself, but because each customer would ask for extensive information about the ingredients! Most people didn't know what each sauce/meat was and would ask which ingredients fit under a certain dietary restriction and it made the entire ordering process SO slow. Sometimes people would even change their mind about the meat or cheese they wanted when the order was almost put together... it was frustrating to witness. The patience the staff had while trying to take care of the volume of customers was appreciated! read more
