Mozzarella roma panini, it seems that they are running low on the cheese part, this place went downhill.
Came here off of a recommendation. First time was medicore, thought it was an off day.
Absolutely terrible .

“Really good sandwich for $10, and very a very large serving.”
Really good sandwich for $10, and very a very large serving! I got the italiano. The tiramisu was also very good. Nice calm vibe inside and has a small market area with imported goods.

This place may not win awards for its looks, but it's a hidden gem for great food. Perfect for a quick lunch stop! The sandwiches, like the Italiano and the Genoa, are incredibly fresh and tasty. Prices are fair too. Worth a visit if you're craving a delicious sandwich!

“Amazing sandwiches and Italian cookies and the gelato!!”
Amazing sandwiches and Italian cookies and the gelato!!! just look at it melting in the glass. that means it is LEGIT and not all puffed up with air like some places make it. I’ve gone the past 3 days in a row because I recently came back from a trip to Italy and I’m not over it. SO HAPPY to have found this slice of Italia in Chicago ❤️

The old picture with the location is not updated. You have to enter into the hospital, 2nd floor. The “trip” worths it! Good coffee and sandwiches

Stopped in quick for a slice of Tiramisu. BEST tasting piece I’ve had in years!!!! For only $4 you cannot beat this. Wish I had more time in Chicago to come back and try more from this shop. Outstanding!

Great sandwiches, authentic Italian products, good coffee and bakery items (especially cookies), and the people who work here are fantastic. Really friendly and professional, which a lot of other comparable places don't have. Great vibe and pleasant to shop and eat at.

“A wonderful little deli that serves amazing sandwiches and has great coffee.”
A wonderful little deli that serves amazing sandwiches and has great coffee. They slice all their own deli meat so you know it's fresh, my favorite sandwich is the italiano. The staff is always friendly. There are lots of individual tables inside and in the warmer months there is an outdoor seating section that is fenced off. The baked goods are delicious but not baked on sight. They are closed on Sunday so plan accordingly.
