    Tucci's sub on wheat
    Marie M.

    Food: 4/5 delicious Service: 5/5 quick and fantastic Parking: 5/5 easy and plenty Value: 2/5 Ambiance: 2/5 Pros: Loved my tucci's sub! The whole wheat bread is delicious. The veggies are fresh and leaves a gentle acidic taste that you love on a big sub. This place is identical to the one on the west side. The guy who took our order was friendly. The chips here are also good picks for potato chips. Con: The subs are on the pricier side. We got a 14 in and 7 in and paid $36. I personally wouldn't frequent this spot for the cost but would happily visit once or twice a year to get a better-than-usual deli sub fix!

    I've been craving a philly cheesesteak for a few days so I finally decided to give in. But no regular sandwich would do; I wanted something that would transport me back to the city of brotherly love. I've had one from Snarfs, which is close to my house, and I know it's good but I wanted MORE. I recalled Tucci's had great sandwiches even though I haven't been in years. So I went out of my way to go to this place. Walking in, it looks different. More bare. I recall there being a whole display case that held the meats and cheeses. Maybe they got rid of it after COVID. The menu was streamlined which made ordering quick and easy. They had a philly with jalapenos so I got that (full sandwich) sans jalapenos but with everything else. It took about 10-15 minutes. It was a large sandwich and it smelled lovely so I couldn't wait to get it home. Unwrapping it I noticed the bread looked really good. It was sturdy and toasty underneath my fingers. Sadly, that was the highlight of the sandwich. It wasn't a bad but it wasn't what I was expecting. It didn't transport me to Philly. But then I reminded myself I've never been there so WTH WAS I EXPECTING?! First, the meat to bread ratio wasn't good. Although the bread was good (perfectly toasted and buttery) the 3-5 inches at each end of the sandwich was bare, just dry toasty bread. The middle of the sandwich was a bit better but it still wasn't as meat heavy as I would have liked. A shame because the quality of the meat was good. But it had to compete with the abundance of green peppers and biting into a mound of that so often was unpleasant. Even more disappointing was that the onions and mushrooms advertised in the description of the sandwich was at the total opposite end of the spectrum....completely absent. I was also disappointed by the cheese. It was there, in essence almost. Not nearly enough. I recall them advertising they only used Boar's Head Cheese. I didn't see that in the shop today. Maybe that should have been an indication to me about the cheese being used here now. And somehow, the sandwich was dry overall. Sad to say, I'd pass on this. I would have been more satisfied at the other place I referenced earlier. They have a better philly overall and it was cheaper. I don't think going Tucci's for bread that's a bit better but lacking everywhere else is worth the almost $30 price tag.

    Classic Italian

    The whole sub sandwiches are large... The pastrami was good and the classic Italian too. I would need to try some more sandwiches before deciding if their rating could be higher. My buddy grabbed them and brought back so can't say much about the service or ambiance yet. Until next time....

    While visiting out of town we decided to try this place on a Thursday for lunch. The interior is a typical sandwich deli but the sandwiches are not typical. I ordered the 7" club and it was delicious. Loads of meat and I love their garlic mayo. My family members were all pleased with their choices. The young man that took our order was very friendly, patient and helpful (considering it was our first time).

    Omguhhhhh you guys, why is this place not viral on all the local influencers' pages?!?! So damn good, you get no pictures of the sammies. Fantastic service from the guys working, great guidance on their best sellers, and daaaaaaaaamn that pastrami was bangin! Quick service time, friendly workers, excellent food... will be back for sure!! Note to future self: white bread was softer than whole grain option.

    Cold subs are my passion, they are my weakness. I had literal mafia family who owned a butcher and "grinder" shop in Connecticut and I'd visit them as an 8 yr old to which they would stuff me full of food. This was the start of my love affair that still runs hot today. Utilizing YELP I've tried many interesting places around town to scratch my itch, but the surfer in me is continues looking for that perfect wave; in this case sub. Located in the Century South shopping center in a safe and easily accessible part of town Tucci's is a modest little shop pumping out good food. So, when my kids visited in July, it was on our hit list. Walking in the place isn't fancy at all, but it's clean. A few modest tables line the walls, nothing special but there again, less to distract the hunter from their prize. Be warned the fountain drinks are Main Root which means they're "like" coke products but not exactly and I'll admit better as they use REAL sugar. They also have a drink fridge with more traditional options as well as tea and monster drinks. Rounding out the sides there are an array of chips choices along with a few sugary treats to compliment the meal. The hallmark of any great subshop is first quality meats and secondly them slice them to order. While a lot of shops now slice their own meats and cheeses, few use Boar's Head. With this info in mind, even before I got there, I knew this would be magical! Next, they do bake their bread so another huge win in my book as most just proof up frozen bread which is devoid of the little touches. Finally, the owner was there and was an extremely friendly guy and genuinely excited to take my order while guiding me through what he thought were the best choices to try as I scanned the menu above his head. As delightful as he was, my benchmark are Italians subs so it was game time. I was debating where to get the Gourmet Italian vs the Classic Italian, the difference being prosciutto being added. I'm not a bacon fan and while prosciutto isn't bacon in that it's not smoked, it has a very intense flavor and will quickly overpower anything it's paired with. I proceeded to order my standard sub - extra mayo, oil, and lettuce with regular amounts of tomato, olives, onions (which are thinly sliced not huge chunks) and Oregano. Two things became apparent off the bat; first the prosciutto dominated the experience which robbed me of tasting the high-quality meats. I'll take the blame here but the second issue I had was the meat on top. As a side note, how ingredients hit the mouth affect flavor; which is why macaroni and spaghetti noodles are made from the same things yet taste different. The meat crushed the veggies so it through off the whole experience. That said the quality of everything on the sandwich were great, just unfamiliar, thus in my opinion, poorly executed. One of kids got the turkey and provolone along with mayo, lettuce and pickles. She loved the bread and ingredients but was like minded in that she hated the presentation. My youngest got the ham and Swiss with mayo, lettuce and tomato. However, she proceeded to crunch Doritos into the sub so I'm considering her well taught yet throwing out her review. Overall, they had the same experience as I did. Overall Tucci's is trying to set themselves apart and I can respect that, however the fact they're using Boar's Head IS the selling point. Throwing meat on top changes the expectation and throw off what we're all accustom to eating. So the way around this is if you're reading my review, you now are prepared. Besides that one issue I'd say they have top notch subs worthy of a top billing. I apologize for not trying a hot sub for a review but it's not my thing. My final thought is if you have a "grinder, torpedo, sub, hoggie, etc." craving this is your go to, just tell them to throw the meat on the bottom and you'll have the best experience in Austin.

    the meatball sub had a little bit of a kick to it a little spicy sauce. the meatballs were a little small but was overall good. they have good sodas to choose from w real sugar.

    This place was recommended by my hubby's BFF. Food was pretty good. I got the Austin club and it didn't disappoint. This late reminded me of a hoagie shop back home.

    Gourmet Italian 14 inch
    Hugo E.

    One solid Italian sandwich! I was searching all over Austin to find a good Italian sandwich, was between two places, and this did not disappoint. I ordered the 14 inch gourmet Italian sandwich which was heavy and big enough for two meals. Bread was fresh and flaky, cold cuts were thinly sliced and generous, peppers were on point and the garlic spread was a nice touch. Service was fast and owner was super friendly. They also gave us samples of their freshly made red bell pepper soup as we waited - also really good. Could not have been happier. Parking was easy and plenty of seating.

    Great subs & great service! A very welcoming and low key stop for a yummy lunch. First time stopping in while we're in town, and would definitely visit again!

    Chicken Parmesan
    Karson S.

    New favorite sandwich shop south of town, hands down! We arrived late (about 30 min before closing on a Sunday) and the team was still so nice and happy to make us some delicious sandwiches. We got 1 "whole" sandwich (which was quite pricey) because we were hungry. But didn't realize that it'd be SO HUGE that we'd make 3 meals out of 1 sandwich! Also got a half which I still couldn't finish in 1 sitting, even though it was SO flavorful and not as messy as I'd feared from a chicken Parmesan sandwich. We'll be back for many more! Great subs in south austin!!

The Black Eyed Peas were bold and spicy, with chunks of smoky burnt ends mixed in. Definitely not shy on seasoning. They serve everything on compostable plates which I really appreciate. The staff was friendly and knew their stuff. They mentioned the menu rotates often, so what's on today might not be there next time. Small batch, small menu, but worth it. The truck was set up at the brewery, so there's plenty of seating--inside, shaded, or in the sun--and drinks come from the brewery itself. Only reason I took off a star was the limited options, but overall, the food was fantastic. I'd absolutely come back to try more from their menu.

There is a very small building with indoor seating, but it only has a restroom and a handful of small tables. I do want to give the benefit of a doubt as I was part of a fairly large group meet up, so some of the delays in service and getting food was probably due to the large number of people for a very small kitchen. I also 100% have to blame the meet up organizers for not letting us know it was outdoors! The place is BYOB although they do have a selection of bottles nonalcoholic drinks. Even though it was outdoor seating at picnic tables, there was one girl taking orders, and another guy delivering food, we did have to wait a bit for our food, but the point of the meet up was chatting and socializing so it wasn't a huge deal. The food arrived hot and was pretty good. My main complaint is that the portion seemed a little small for the price point, I got the Tom Kha soup and $13 for a pint of soup and a scoop of rice seemed high. The flavor of the broth was good but there were definitely more onions than chicken! That being said I liked that the spice level didn't seem to be lowered- I got a 3/5 and it definitely made my nose run a bit XD All in all I think to really get an accurate read I'd have to try again under more normal circumstances.
