I feel like the guy at the register was nice, he wasn't really informative, it was a bit more " you can try this, or you can try that" when someone says it's their first time ask what they like, I always give that opportunity for them to share their opinion by asking what do you like and by saying it's my first time it gives them the opportunity to earn a tip from me not just being entitled for one when I'm ordering my food. The place inside, very old-school deli Field, you can sit at the bar you can sit outside or you can sit inside. It's very very nice. I really like that classic feel a bit which is really cool. My sandwich: my sandwich was I would say maybe a solid 6 1/2 to a seven. It's something that has to be dipped, but you normally aren't going to dip something that has avocado on it. But the dip is what added flavor to the meat, kind of. I really love the bread, the bread is surprisingly soft. When you get a big bite like that and the bread just kind of melts in your mouth that I do have to say it was very impressive. I forget the name of my wife's sandwich, but she absolutely loved it and said it was exactly what she wanted, very, very simple, nothing too complicated and so she was very happy Overall, I've had a lot of sandwiches, I am a major sandwich person and so I am going to be a little bit more critical when it comes to having a menu that has a bunch of items with flavor because that is what's gonna win me over. Would we go back to here yes, would we come back here before trying somewhere else first that's a little bit up in the air. Overall, I definitely still recommend giving this place a try.

I'm glad we did. from the moment we opened the screen door we were warmly greeted by such kind and friendly people I knew we were in the right place. The menu is overhead and they do offer some vegetarian and vegan options. I ended up ordering the seaweed salad and the veggie roll. SCW got the avocado sandwich. We chose to eat inside which was impeccably clean. Three tables seating two each in a comfortable space. Our order took maybe 10 minute, probably a little less to be served at our table in compostable containers. The seaweed salad was delicious. The quantity was good, the food fresh and the dressing was amazing. The veggie roll was also very fresh and delicious. SCWs sandwich was very tasty as well. The service was amazing. To give you an example I dropped one of my chopsticks on the floor by accident and before I got to the counter to get another they already were bringing me a new set. Outstanding service. I highly recommend 101 Deli. Give them a try.

We were really happy with how yummy it was, it tasted fresh and we really enjoyed it. I like the deli meat and the bread was fresh. Im happy to have tried out the spot and I would definitely swing by again if the opportunities presents itself.

And you can even "build your own" Sandwich if the mood strikes you. For their BBQ Plates we've been big fans of their Chicken Plates, any of their Tri-Tip Plates, or simply going for it all with their Combo Plate. And any and all of their sides are pretty tasty. Depending on your mood, the salads of Macaroni, Potato, or Cole Slaw are very good. And their fresh meat selections are all good. Rib Eye, New York Steaks, Chuck Roast, Beef Brisket, Pork Ribs, and Stuffed Chicken Breasts. And now with Summer here, this is THE place to get your BBQ Meats. And you need to check out their Catering Menu. Lots of specialty plates for special occasions, and I am looking forward to getting their Holiday Offerings. Look for their trucks in the parking lot, which is on Calle Real, and is the same lot as Dune Coffee and Bowlero Santa Barbara.

We thought 3 pickles did sandwich week but we had looked at an old article.... So we ended up going…read morehere bc it was close by and the independent magazine made it seem like they give a lot of meat (which they do). I'm glad three pickles didnt do sandwich week because it gave us an opportunity to try this place. Entrance is on Chapala Street and there is a small parking lot area in front. When you go through the entrance doors they're pretty slow to open and you have to wait for one door to close before another one opens. Inside is very nice and well lit, and the people here are very friendly. Even though we originally came for the sandwich week other things on the menu look delicious and we had to order them as well. The sandwich week Reuben was a half sliced bread with a generous amount of meat. The sauerkraut had a nice tang and the sauce gave it the perfect amount of moisture. So those of you on a low-carb diet this is a perfect sandwich for you. The potato and onion knish tasted like garlic mashed potato wrapped in pastry and it was delicious. The latkes came with sour cream and apple sauce... I preferred dipping it in the hummus. The sarice's harissa and hummus plate was very delicious. Everything was flavorful. While putting my plate away I did notice someone didn't eat the harissa. My guess is that they couldn't handle spiciness. To me, the harissa had the perfect spicy-ness and made me wish they gave us more. If you can't handle spicy, try mixing the red harissa with the hummus. The hummus was flavorful and not super salty! Even the olives they put on the hummus wasn't as salty as a lot of other places. The green sauce was also good. I would definitely come back for the hummus plate. Esp for the pita bread. It was super soft and almost like eating a cloud from heaven. The stuffed cabbage almost reminded me of how my mom makes it and they do provide some bread to dip it in... But the hummus was too addicting so I ended up dipping that bread mainly in the hummus. To me the coffee was mild but it went well with the food. But iced tea had a nice floral flavor. Near the end of the meal they did give us some dessert on the house. Since I didn't see the chocolate chip cookie when we ordered I knew that was fresh. The rugelach were a nice 2 biter...or you could eat it in one big bite. The black and white cookie had a lemony flavor that dries up your mouth, so its best with coffee or tea. The warm chocolate cookie initially made me think it had raisins in it, but there were no raisins. The chocolate cookie had flavors that reminded me of fall with warm baking spices like cinnamon or warm apple pie spices. It was interesting and made it unique. Service is also really good...they had a place to drop off your dishes, but throughout our meal we had employees stopping by the check on us and remove some plates. They also made some small talk to give you a personal experience.

My visit to Via Maestra 42 came way with mixed feelings. There were definitely aspects of the…read moreexperience that I enjoyed, but a few issues with the food prevented the meal from living up to its potential. For my entree, I ordered the Costolette d'Angello alla Griglia, the grilled lamb chops served with vegetables and mashed potatoes. The lamb was okay, but it arrived more warm than hot and the accompanying mashed potatoes were a disappointment. They arrived noticeably cold in the center, giving the impression that they had been reheated rather than freshly prepared. Unfortunately, those temperature inconsistencies distracted from the dish and even made me question whether everything had been plated and served at its best. The lamb chops were okay overall, but the execution left something to be desired. I also tried the Linguine con Vongole (clam pasta). The flavors were fine and the dish was enjoyable enough, but diners should be aware that there were some broken shell fragments and bits of sand mixed in with the clams. While that can occasionally happen with shellfish dishes, it was noticeable enough that I found myself eating a little more cautiously than I would have liked. One aspect of the restaurant that stood out was the atmosphere. The environment has a distinctive character and personality that makes it feel different from many of the other dining options in SB. It certainly adds to the overall experience. The service was somewhat slow during my visit, though the staff remained friendly and courteous throughout the evening. Overall, this place offered an interesting atmosphere and friendly service, but the food execution felt inconsistent. Between the warm lamb, cold mashed potatoes, and shell fragments in the linguine, the meal didn't quite meet expectations. There's potential here, but a little more attention to detail in the kitchen would go a long way.
