Cafe L'Appetito

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!

Good items but price was a little higher than mentioned on menu before. I bought spinach arancini. Stuffing was very good in taste but i could smell a little bit of the oil used for frying which wasn’t great.

Discovered them by chance while walking. The little sandwich deli in the back of the shop is absolutely awesome. I highly recommend the italiano. Definitely a place to stop if you want add $10 meal in downtown Chicago.

Very good and delicious food. The place is very clean and the staff is very kind. The prices are excellent there too in such a great area. I highly recommend this place for a nice sandwich, chips and a pop. He can't beat it and the staff truly is great. They make you feel at home and you can't beat that these days.

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 ❤️

Delicious Italian subs and sides! I used them multiple times for events and all of my guests have raved about the food. Also a great grab and go for lunch!

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!

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.
