“Great subs and a charming deli with lots to choose from. Homemade pasta and imported specialties. Kind people, very helpful. Bring cash, no credit cards accepted.”
“Free is a authentic Italian grocery and sandwich shop. They're Italian sausage is made in house and I think the best in the city. Google wanted a restaurant review but this is so much more every cook should go there always surprises always delicious.”
“My husband and I came back from our honeymoon in Italy and were craving good pasta and meatballs and this place delivered! We experimented with a few other options in the area and came back to this deli immediately! 10/10. So authentic and delicious. It made me write a review while eating dinner (doesn’t happen often, except to rave about local businesses!)”
“This Capri sub is an absolute delight! The bread is crispy on the outside and soft inside—while the layers of Genoa salami, capicola, and mortadella deliver authentic, savory flavor. Fresh provolone, and a bright drizzle of house-made Italian vinaigrette tie everything together. Topped with crisp lettuce, ripe tomatoes, this sandwich hits every note and leaves you craving more”
“An incredible place. You have to try there home made pastas and sauces. The quality is great and they make an easy dinner for an affordable price.”
