Stopped by for lunch with a couple of coworkers the other day. It’s a small, charming shop that specializes in sandwiches, but they also sell a variety of Italian pantry items like pasta, sauces, sodas, and other imported goods. Definitely worth browsing while you wait.
I ordered the Artisan Salami Sandwich with a side of macaroni salad. The sandwich was really solid. The fresh mozzarella added a nice creaminess and kept everything moist. The macaroni salad was just okay for me. It was a bit too mayo-heavy, though the olives and pickles helped balance it out. I also tried their 7-layer dessert bar, which was rich and tasty, although a little on the sweet side.
There’s a nice shaded outdoor seating area if you want to dine in, which makes it a pleasant lunch option on a nice day. It does get busy during the lunch rush, so ordering online ahead of time is a good idea.
The only downside is that it feels a little pricey for what you get, but overall it’s a solid sandwich spot with good vibes and quality ingredients.

Yesterday while I was at work in the City of Pasadena I asked around if there was something good around to try, and I got recommended one specific item which was Lamb sandwich with grilled eggplant and olives . Personally I don't eat lamb but the fact that it comes with eggplant and olives which I love them plus was recommended I decided to go for it. Being my first time When I arrived I was totally surprised, place looks amazing and clean, I saw thru the display many cooked items I believe they are for the variety of food served here or by the pound I'm not sure, is a deli-mart place. Which has cookies, candies, drinks, wine, muffins, frozen food and more. The girl who helped me is very friendly, very helpful, the service she provided me was perfect can't denied. Now the recommended sandwich part, well it's was a big amount of lamb in a baguette with 2 slices of eggplant and the olives which i didn't feel any half cut nor sliced one, it was more like the olive juice with slightly minced olives , I didn't feel the taste or flavor of olives till I was halfway done with the sandwich. Honestly and personally I would be more exited to try a meaty sandwich if the sandwich has some mayo, some greens, grilled veggies and not only bread and meat and 2 slices of eggplant . The eggplant was perfect. Now I'm not complaining, this is only my opinion, is nothing personal or bad to anyone, nothing against anyone not the cooks , that's the way the sandwich are done here I'm totally fine. Many people love them that way. Now the price part, I just got the sandwich to go , I think was $ 16 or 17 bucks, if anyone dining in, probably expected to pay with a drink $20 to 30 but if they serve wine then you do the numbers.

First time visit during a busy Friday lunch hour, and I was pleasantly surprised! Despite the rush, the staff was friendly and efficient. One team member (I wish I could remember her name, it was really unique!) stood out for being especially polite and quick with my to-go order. The sides were super fresh and flavorful, definitely try the crab and potato salads. Highly recommend!

This place is amazing, a nice little marketplace, deli, and restaurant all in one. The staff are very friendly and helpful. They have so many different things, huge selection for food, drinks, and snacks. A few indoor seats and a large outdoor patio. The panini I got was toasted to perfection and delicious. Overall really great place for lunch.

Great Italian sandwiches. I also bought some cheeses and olive. This casual Italian deli has tasty sandwiches as well as lasagna, wines, desserts, etc.
