“The chewy bread and herbal dressing are delicious”
I initially visited twice when they were open within the first month, but that first experience has been enough for me not to want to go back.
I’m all for family owned businesses, but this review should hopefully encourage some much needed improvements.
I am mystified by the high reviews because these people mess up my sandwich every single time.

“Very good coffee and nice staff.”
Very good coffee and nice staff. I came by this shop because Mom invited me since it's near her house, and I am glad we did. We didn't order food, but our coffees were good and had nice attention. I will be back next time for the sandwiches.

“10 out of 10 quality every time I get a sandwich from this place.”
10 out of 10 quality every time I get a sandwich from this place. Customer service is always wonderful, so friendly. I love their mob sandwich but their tuna or turkey is also top-tier. Always recommending this little hidden gem to friends. Great coffee too.

Called the day before to order 14 sandwiches for my work colleagues, and without even requesting it, they nicely put all of the sandwiches on platters for me so everyone could try various ones. Sandwiches are delicious and filling. Very fresh bread and other ingredients.

An ideal lunch sandwich shop features fresh, thinly sliced ingredients layered with zesty horseradish mayo, and quick service (about 3 minutes for me without a line). I had the #3 Roast Beef, a 9" sandwich that’s ample for two meals. The chewy bread and herbal dressing are delicious. While waiting, guests can indulge in some coffee; the cold brew offers a rich, chocolate taste with no acidity, making it enjoyable whether served black or with cream. The space includes 4 small tables and is more suited for takeout or a casual lunch date rather than large gatherings. Treat yourself!

“Great little Italian sub spot.”
Great little Italian sub spot! Super clean, nice employees, and the sandwich was great (and huge). The organic iced coffee was also very smooth with no sour aftertaste like some can have.

“This is a great place.”
This is a great place. Loved the sandwich and great coffee. Let's make this clear for those reading. I love sandwiches. If I lived anywhere near here, I'd be a regular. My next visit to Chicago will include a visit to Sottomarino's

“Great neighborhood spot for fresh hot coffee and gourmet Italian sub sandwiches.”
Great neighborhood spot for fresh hot coffee and gourmet Italian sub sandwiches! Lots of options for vegetarians. My sub had turkey, roasted red peppers, smoked provalone, and an herb spiced mayo. It was superb and great value for the 3X portion sizes.

I've been waiting for a nice locally owned sandwich shop to come to this neighborhood here for a while, and I'm so glad they're here now. We got the MOB and Turkey subs and they were both absolutely delicious.
