This place used to be great and a favorite local spot, but feels like it’s taken a turn for the worse lately.
— Nathan Andrews

I really want to like this place, the people are nice and the service is good, but I just paid $13 for an Italian sub with one slice of salami and one slice of mortadella on it.

What 249+ diners say about Tuscan Hen Market

Passed by this place many times and today I stopped by for lunch. Ordered the meatball sub. The sub was good and there was sauce on the side for dipping. Half eaten in my picture. The wait for the sub was about 5 minutes, a little longer than I thought it would take but not that bad. There is a good smell of food when you walk in. It draws you in. It looks like there is an area to sit outside in the back which was nice. Street parking is limited but I was luck to park right in front.

It's a wonderful place to dine in and also for catering purposes. We recently used their catering service and for the price, we were able to feed a lot of people and everyone enjoyed the food. Thank you!

“What a delicious sandwich.”

What a delicious sandwich! I had the Chicken Pesto sandwich. So fresh, bread was excellent! The 2 employees were so friendly and smiling. Wish I lived closer so I could come here more often.

The food is fresh, flavorful, and authentic. Not pictured: the cannoli that solved all of my problems… it was gone too quickly. Amazing food.

“I'm really glad that my real estate broker lady friend told me about this place.”

I'm really glad that my real estate broker lady friend told me about this place. She gave me a coupon from that lolo. And I only had that one sandwich called a well street sub. I was really impressed with it. I'm glad I ate it. Nice people in their period when I was in there the first time last spring they had longer hours. But you know now it's kind of like a lunch time operation. Something like 11:00 to 3:00 or something. But real nice in there. Real friendly people. You know you're probably going to pay $15 to $20 for a good well-constructed delicious yummy sandwich. And that can also have the chips and the pop with it too.

Came here today for the first time, but due to COVID it was only for pick up. The space was very nice, clean and bright. There is a large menu that looks to have nice options. I got a club sandwich and it was very good. Will definitely return!

“The atmosphere was warm and cozy on a cold wintery night.”

The atmosphere was warm and cozy on a cold wintery night. The hardest decision is what to order! It was also hard not to fill up on the homemade focaccia before the entrees. The pastas were so so good (papardelle, spaghetti, and gnocchi not pictured because we gobbled it up). Loved our time here and we are so glad we ended on a sweet note.

“What an amazing little spot to grab a quick bite.”

What an amazing little spot to grab a quick bite! Indoor and outdoor seating, super fresh ingredients and great staff! Can't believe it was my wife and my first time here, we've lived in the neighborhood for over a year. I highly recommend checking this place out!
