This Italian Sandwich shop was recommended by my brother-in-law who lives in Nashville so I thought I would give it a try. I drove to the restaurant location and was quickly irritated with the fact that in Nashville, there is literally nowhere you can park for free, even to pick up a simple sandwich. I first started to park at a PMC parking location and there was a minimum $15 charge for parking which I was not about to pay to park for 15 minutes. I circled the block several times and finally settled on parking through ParkSmart which was much more reasonable and was able to park 30 minutes for $1.73. They do put a $20 hold on your card but should get that back. Now to the sandwich shop. It was a typical deli setting with a few tables for sitting. As you walk down the line to order, you are treated to the display case with a few of the meats, cheeses, sauces and toppings available for the sandwiches. The first thing that stood out is that most of the sandwiches were priced in the $18 to $25 range and could increasingly go up by $3 per adding topping. This was very pricey to me, especially for the cost of add-ons. Still, I got two sandwiches, the New Yorker and the Venice Beach. The Venice Beach I took to my daughter at work so didn’t get to try it but she said it was very good. Now for around $20, the sandwiches were good size. One sandwich can feed two people unless you are really hungry. The New Yorker was very tasty but what stood out was the bread. This was some of the best bread I’ve tasted. The sandwich is cold meats but the do warm the bread but I was taking mine home so didn’t get to enjoy that. The service was a little slow considering it wasn’t super busy inside but it was a reasonable wait. While the price of the sandwiches are pretty expensive, for most people you can get two meals out of one sandwich. So, if you look at it from that perspective, that’s about the price of a sandwich from anywhere else. This is definitely a place I will return to and try the many other delicious looking sandwiches they have on their menu.
