“This place is great. The sandwiches are the bomb. Best sandwich place in Chicago. My kids love them too!”
“Here’s what you need to know: great first experience with service. Went at 10:45AM for an early lunch. Good recommendation from the team (pesto chicken), well made sandwich with premium products. Ambiance is fun for a food hall in the train station. I look forward to trying the other sandwiches there over the next few weeks. Would like more oomph / kick as an option even though I enjoyed my grilled mild pesto chicken sandwich.”
“Tried the Turkey Pecorino today and it was delicious! Reminded me of the sandwiches I had when I went to Florence! The bread was excellent and crispy 👍🏻. A must try!”
“How did I not get a picture of the sandwich?! It was a quick turn around to get our food which was awesome because we were hungry. And I just need to say….THE BREAD WAS SO GOOD! I only got one sandwich which I ate there but I wish I got a second one to go for later in the evening. I cannot wait for the other location to reopen.”
“I feel ripped off. I paid 13 dollars for a sandwich and I get this. All bread - 4 small pieces of chicken and some toppings that only cover one side. Tasty - but NOT worth the price. Update: the restaurant did try to make it right. Maybe it was a bad day.”
“Terrible portions. Like 1/16th of a lb of chicken on grin bowl. Chicken was super dry. Quinoa was soaked in oil. So disappointed.”
“Finaly the 3rd time we were able to get the sandwiches with my wife! Thank you! 5*”
“The Spicy soppressata was great, it was flavorful with just the right amount of everything. Nothing in it was overpowering and you can taste all the flavours, but at the same time was spicy enough. The bread itself was nice and thin and not like the other sandwich places. The person handing over the sandwiches was friendly, polite and had a smile on his face which is always appreciated.”
“Stopped in for a quick lunch and grabbed a schiacciata sandwich and a side create-your-own salad with a drink. Bread was super crisp but still light. Perfect grab-and-go spot in the Loop when you’re on the move. Fast line, friendly staff, no complaints at all. Solid downtown staple. Went around noon on a weekday, line moved quick even with office rush.”
“I used to deliver catering orders for this place. Ever since the first time they let me try a sandwich that some DIDN'T pick up. I've been coming back there to buy sandwiches ever since. They're chicken pesto sandwich I cannot get away from. Your staff is amazing your food is amazing I wish you would open up more locations in Chicago!”
“Amazingly good sandwiches. I typically get two… one for lunch and one to bring home for dinner. Unlike most sandwiches, when I take one home, it’s even better than eating it right away. The pesto soaks into the bread but the bread never gets soggy. This is one of my favorite places in the loop!!”
