It's a pretty great sandwich, actually. I like the Boss, but there are many great options. There are just two things to keep in mind: 1) it's relatively expensive (though doable) 2) the sandwiches are quite rich and salty, often relying on a flavorful cream element (truffle cream, pistachio cream, etc.) As a result, I probably wouldn't go every day or even every week. But a once-a-month cadence or so would be great. Try it!

Both were tasty and good quality cut meats. The spicy plant was a pleaser umami with a lil kick. For some reason one bread was soft while the other was hard. Don't forget to add the olive oil in the bread before taking a bite. Overall a high quality sandwich worth checking out. Would inwait an hour in line hmmmmm

She was talking about the classic (cold cut) italian - I had to disagree because I thought that the steak italian in my hands was the best sandwich I'd ever had. From the soft bread, with loads of flavor, to the contents... it hit at a 10/10 level. Be prepared for a wait - they don't operate at lightspeed. But, in my opinion, the wait and the steep price is aboslutely worth it!

The service was abrupt. I said that I wanted a sub and I would tell him what I wanted on it. He…read moresaid what kind of sub and I said I want a vegetarian sub. I said o wanted provolone e cheese and he said it come with all the veggies. I said I want mayo and no vinegar he said "what ever you want". The bread on the sub was very good. The sub was $18. The veggies were broccoli and carrots. Seriously. They needed sal or seasoning. I definitely would NoT recommend this place if you are a vegetarian. I cannot speak for the carnivores.

But I'm actually writing about the company's website and phone recording. Once, on a prior holiday, and today due to a winter storm, I wasn't sure if the restaurant was open. In both cases (where the restaurant turned out to be closed), the website (appropriately) didn't allow online orders, and (more importantly) THE OUTGOING PHONE RECORDING WAS UPDATED WITH CURRENT INFORMATION. In an era where businesses barely have phone numbers to call, or employees who answer with something other than 'hello', is rare (and by the way, this is the fault of management if they don't properly train their staff). THANK YOU FOR HAVING YOUR SHIT TOGETHER IN COMMUNICATING YOUR HOURS TO THE PUBLIC. I, for one, appreciate it.

Sam LaGrassa's is a Boston legend that's lost its way…read more As a local, I used to defend Sam LaGrassa's to anyone who called it a tourist gimmick. It was the gold standard for a real sandwich in the city. Sadly, the magic has faded. Between the soaring prices and the shrinking portions, the value just isn't there anymore. You can taste the "corner-cutting"--the flavors aren't as bold as they used to be, and the sandwiches feel noticeably smaller even though the cost has increased exponentially - I mean $30 for a sammy?! It should have gold in it! Even then, I'd keep coming once in awhile if the service was worth it. but honestly - the staff seems burnt out even bright early in the morning. It's hard to justify the premium price for a shadow of what this place used to be.

While you can order there, it does seem like it takes some time for the sandwiches to be made. There is a sign saying that for the weekends to expect up to an hour wait for your sandwich. That being said, I ordered ahead online and my sandwich was ready when I got there. (This was a Thursday afternoon). I got the vodka chicken Parm after seeing it online and it definitely lives up to the hype. And yes, it is ~$30. The sandwich is huge. It has huge cutlets in it which are very filling, and perfectly made. It ended up being enough for two people, so find a person to share it with! The vodka sauce in the sandwich was sooooo good, definitely one of the best I've found in boston. They also provide you with a whole container of sauce to dip your sandwich into (highly recommend doing that). What lost the star is that I felt there wasn't enough basil. For that huge sandwich, there was actually very few bites with basil. I wish there was more of it, and I also wish there was some other green in there like arugula. Other than that, it's a great sandwich. I'd definitely get this again!

One of my local favorites! You can never go wrong here. The portions are huge and the food is…read moredelicious. I've eaten here before (it's a small area, but does have a lot of seating) but normally I get it as take out. The cafe itself is super casual, it's the perfect place to pop into during lunch or after a walk. My food is always ready on time which is nice, and when I've eaten there I'm usually able to find a seat. The spinach tortellini with the pesto cream sauce is my absolute favorite- it's a HUGE portion and so delicious. It usually lasts me at least 2 meals. The bread they include is also great! I like to dip it in the sauce. The past time I got Dino's I accidentally ordered spinach ravioli instead of tortellini...that was my bad. HOWEVER I think I might have found my new favorite? The raviolis are huge and so fat. I'm talking like 1/2 inch - 3/4 inch thick. There is so much stuffing and the spinach ricotta mix tastes so fresh and delicious...it's a must try. I've also gotten the eggplant parm before, and the fettuccini Alfredo. Both were also delicious. I've never had any of the sandwiches, but if they are anything like their pastas then I'm sure they are great! The bang for your buck here is also great which is nice. Highly recommend! Dinos is awesome! And the staff is very kind too (Note that the pic is taken from a train, I like to treat myself to Dino's before catching the Amtrak)

It was a rainy weekend, which put a damper on our vacation I'm not going to lie, however we started our second day of our trip with breakfast here and it was a really great way to start the day.

Hoping to visit Boston very soon and I will definitely be back for breakfast :)

I have previously had their bread up in Somerville and it was great. This time, everything was so incredibly dry. The gf bread was toasted and just so bad. Wish we didn't spend our money on this!

Oh I LOVED this place…read more The sandwiches here are large and delicious. I cannot recommend the cubano one enough. Yes, it tastes nothing like an actual cuban sandwich but it just is really really good. The hot sister sandwich is also great. I'd come here constantly if I could. The prices aren't too bad in comparison to everything else nearby. There's not too many tables inside but we got lucky and were able to immediately get a table. They have some outdoor seating as well. The service was also great here, attentive and quick. Great sandwich and glad to see a local place that has a unique concept making great food.

The strawberry basil mocktail was also 10/10! Excellent picks. The first 20 minutes or so we were well taken care of, but after the lunch rush died down it took a long time for someone to come to our table outside 1. for us to ask for the check, 2. to deliver it and 3 to run the card. It was an extra length of time we did not have to wait. Nevertheless, the food made up for it.

Nice decor at the bar. You can order from the same food menu. I ordered the nana's egg sandwich in a pita - it was essentially an omelette sandwich with boursin, olive tapenade, cucumber, tomato and schug which is a green hot sauce which I got on the side. It was quite interesting- not what I had expected and next time I would ask to omit the olive tapenade. I asked for ketchup to add in. It was a really good portion- probably 2 or 3 eggs. Very hearty and filling. The friend ordered the eggplant quinoa bowl which comes in this sauce and very cheesy. Comes with bread - really tasty! Bartender was friendly and service was great!
