This place is awesome! About once a month, when I worked in Arlington, we would go here for lunch. They were pretty quick with the subs and really quick with the slices. Life hack - I would visit here to get their sauces and fresh/fresher pasta which really makes a difference when cooking for your girlfriend. She did know that I picked it up there from time to time. Some of it was frozen and could be thawed in the fridge overnight and it was easily warmed up in a pan and it would make the house smell like a home cooked meal. Occasionally my best half and I would come by after work for a sub or some pizza and sit outside while the world went by. That was 20 years ago when Arlington was a little slower paced. However, in 20 years, not much had changed. The food was still great and they had unique foods and dishes as well as amazing subs and pizza. read more

It is such a cool atmosphere inside! I love that it was basically a full-blown Italian market so you could buy pasta or wine or Italian snacks. They serve delicious, looking ice cream there, pizza, and sandwiches! My friend and I got two sandwiches, and the large is definitely enough to eat one day and see the rest for lunch the next day. Really good price for how much food you are getting. read more

A nice Vespa out front. We feel being transported to Italy. All the nice stuff in the store including fresh and crispy French baguettes. Our favorites are their bellini, Italian orange soda, and various Italian crackers. We did come for the Italian panettone cake for Christmas. They sold out of the orange / chocolate flavor and asked us to check back next week. read more

Classic staple of this neighborhood - been around for a hot minute. Your go to spot for everything Italian in Arlington. I'd say though has become a bit more commercialized - missing that Italian family feeling. read more

As an Italian American relocated from The Bronx, I was beyond pleasantly surprised by the quality of the store's product assortment. The store-made pizza and sandwiches were delicious. The staff behind the counter were courteous and knowledgeable. My mortadella and prosciutto were sliced perfectly thin! The prices were very fair for the quality. I look forward to my next visit. read more

Finally came back after 35 yrs as they had THE best Italian sub in town. But then I moved away and only recently I read about this shop having multiple locations and so when I visited, had to go pick up some Italian subs and they were as good as I remember them. Since they opened (back in the 1970s?), Jersey Mikes comes close but the bread and meat quality is not the same--but will have to do until next visit. Also got their yummy lemon bar/cookie creations which also knocked it out of the park! read more

So good. So the market is relatively small similar to what you would find in NY or new jersey. All food is fresh and they have grocery items too including wine for purchase. For sandwiches, they have ready made items but if custom, you need to order this ahead of time. read more

The best sandwiches in town - honestly worth the drive if your not in town too! Love stopping in for lunch and picking up something for dinner for later. read more

Felt like I was back in Italy for a moment there. the beer was tasty, the sandwhich we got hit the spot, the pasta we purchased that day and made later in the week was amazing. Cannot wait to go back to this place. Service was loud but what is an Italian place if not people yelling and moving quick? read more

Wonderful takeout sandwich and slice of pizza! Great selection of cheeses and meats and wine tastings.

All the Italian food you need. Wine, espresso, pasta, pizza, ingredients for any Italian dish .. and the gelato is delicious! Premade sandwiches are amazing. I spend too much money here read more

I enjoy this place for their Italian food and wares, but I do find their Italian sandwiches overrated. The capri and some of their other sandwiches are filling, but I wouldn't say there's anything too special about these flavour wise. Service can depend on how busy it is, or if multiple people want sandwiches. Pretty chill spot though. read more

This was my first time trying the muffuletta here, I would definitely recommend. The store has a variety of Italian sandwiches, pizza, pasta salads, and desserts, so there is something for everyone. I will be going back! They also do weekly wine tasting events read more

Their satellite location, seems to be larger and better laid out than the original market. I love their sandwiches and got a ready-made one today. This spot has gelato and ice cream so you can treat yourself to an affogato for a sweet treat. There's also pizza by the slice and a whole lot of frozen delicacies. read more

Wonderful store, new to us, and great deli section. If you are cooking, a lot of things to make italian dinners. Great corned beef.

The Italian store is a classic spot. They have sandwiches, pizza, pasta, cheese...you could come here and do some shopping and have lunch. The sandwiches are large and come packed with meat. 10.99 for a large sandwich which could feed 2 people. They have pre-made sandwiches or you can order a custom sandwich. My reason for 3 stars vs 4 is the complicated way of ordering at this store. I arrived at 3:30pm, so not a very busy time. The sandwich I wanted had all been taken from the premade basket, so I asked if they could make it for me and they told me I had to order at the counter. They were making a custom sandwich for the woman next to me with no problem. I ordered at the counter and they told me it would be a 30 minute wait for 2 sandwiches...when they made a custom order with no problem for someone else. I found this confusing, especially since they weren't busy and there wasn't a line for custom sandwiches. Seating- they have a covered patio and seats that are in the sun for small and large groups. Parking - there is a lot, maybe it holds 15 cars? You might have trouble getting a spot during busy times. read more

I wish I had something like this near me in Illinois. My son took us to get lunch and a few things to bring home. I could've spent a fortune in there but controlled myself. Great shop for all things Italian. We had sandwiches, pizza slice, pasta and olive salads. Absolutely delicious! some seats inside and outside to eat at. A must stop if in the area. read more

Great place for Italian ingredients, wine, pasta, pizza etc. If you want to prepare an Italian meal then you will get great quality ingredients. I wouldn't recommend expresso here if you have high standards of coffee unless you are having it as affogato. They have a wine tasting area inside and also good outside seating to get pizza, coffee, gelato etc. read more

Love the Italian Store. EVERYTHING is delish and people are friendly and helpful. Cannot beat this favorite restaurant/store. We can pick up premade Capri's and Milano's, fresh flavorful pizza (love the Sicilian with pepperoni), the Burger cookies are awesome and we love the chocolate gelato. Also, the premade veal Bolognese is awesome for a quick easy dinner especially when we are too busy to make dinner. Love the tuna salad and the rare roast beef as well. We really appreciate everything. read more

Saw this place from social media and decided to give it a try! The space itself is beautiful, with plenty of Italian provisions and wines. Very busy on a Friday evening! My friend and I got the muffuletta and pastrami sub, and the food took about 30 minutes to prepare. We had a tiramisu while waiting, and this was by far my favorite thing - so creamy, and not too sweet! I've had the famous muffuletta from New Orleans, and this one was great was well - not nearly as flavorful though. The pastrami sun was alright, but felt a bit dry. Service was friendly despite how busy they were, so I'd love to return to try their pizza! read more

Let me start by saying, I am from Philadelphia and New Jersey, so I know good Italian Subs, Hoagies or Grinders (toasted). The store does make them correctly, where the meats and cheese are wrapped around the vegetables, so each bite gives you a complete taste unlike Subway and some others, where they put the meats and cheese on the front of the roll making the sandwich look fuller than it actually is. The only problem I have with the Italian Store is, the lack of meat and cheese. If there is a problem with cost, raise the price and don't lower the quantity or quality and then change the photographs. read more

found this little gem/store that sells italian sandwiches, pizzas and goodies. Got great snacks but also ordered two soft roll sandwiches. apparently if you wanted to order a modified sandwich, you need to call ahead --which I didnt know. But if you want the sandwich without any modifications, they pre-prepare them on the same day and you can just grab-and-go. Although it was busy on a weekend, the staff helped me modify my sandwiches even though I didnt call ahead of time. the wait time was about 10-15 minutes and I did some shopping while waiting. Overall sandwiches were delicious, the bread was awesome and I d definitely come back. I forgot to take pictures of the sandwiches but here is a photo of a homemade cannoli from here read more

It was a bit confusing at first on where to go to order but the customer service was stellar and the sub was PHENOMENAL!!! The seasoning on the lettuce, the freshness of the meats, the softness of the bread, and their hot peppers just hit it out of the park. Top tier Italian subs. I absolutely will be coming back ASAP. read more

I've done business at both the orginal store off Spout Run and the second store in Westover for more than 40 years. It's still good, although not what it was. Their sandwiches were once the best of their kind in NVA. Now, just OK. The other point is that the two stores seem quite different. The original on Spout Run seems better in quality and authentic in atmosphere. Westover seems more sterile and corporate. read more

Large subs are definitely not Large anymore. They must have lost 3-4 inches on the bread. What a shame. Not worth paying the high price for an "Large" sub anymore read more

The bottom line: Great take out pizza and Italian sandwiches surrounded by so many Italian food tchotchkes. Although the range and style of pizza spots in the WMA is expanding, this place still stands out as a great NY-style pie and I love that they have an extra large that can feed a family with leftovers for a reasonable price. I also love the great wine finds, which include one of my favorite vermouths (Cocchi), and their premade foods, including pumpkin ravioli. Service can be slow when they are busy, but it's worth it. I love the charm of the Italophile niche store and will be back. Grazie! read more

The inside is very nice, the service is great, i loved the sub and coffee I got would definitely go again

A pizza restaurant? A euro grocery store? A deli? A gelato shop? An espresso bar? A wine shop? This place isn't sure what it is and neither am I. Totally decent pizza, interesting wine and euro food selection. You're asked if you want to leave a tip at checkout. This is quintessential Arlington. read more

Son took me here to get sandwiches to go. Mine was great and everyone else was pleased. My grandson especially liked the meatball Sub

Rude staff, I waited to get some dessert and the guy behind the counter kept himself occupied moving boxes around instead of getting my order and he clearly looked at my waiting there then I went to the counter across from him where the cashier was and a lady came to the counter I was at and he gave her service immediately. So I asked the young lady cashier if I could order a dessert but she was on her cellphone texting and she ignored me. I said excuse me but I am trying to order something and explained what happened, she didn't care and then I said I was going to put a review about this and she responded why, I didn't do anything! I said I was ignored by 2 employees and that's not how customer service works. The place claims they have real Italian cold cuts but they serve average stuff, nothing like real Italian stuff. read more

While I very much enjoy and recommend the made-to-order sandwiches even though they've gotten smaller, less filled, and ever more costly, I can no longer recommend their pizzas. Their pizza slices have also gotten smaller in size (while the prices have increased) and the crust has become flat, dense and tasteless. The crust they used a few years ago was pretty good and chewy. Now? Not so much. The Italian Store needs to address this problem with their pizzas. read more

This was one of the places that could satisfy my cravings for a sub. I usually have a good experience here, but my most recent visit was a let down. I expected to walk in and pick up a pre-made large Capri as usual. There were several people waiting near the counter so I assumed it was just a busy Saturday night. It took several workers quite awhile to prepare just the Milano. It took even longer for them to prepare the Capri because one of the workers had to step away for a specialty sub and the other worker was too busy using his cell phone. The Capri has always been my favorite, but this time it was mediocre and lacking flavor. Other than subs, they have a variety of Italian goods inside as well as freshly made pizza. They also have a small dining area inside, but plenty of space in their outdoor patio. read more
