"If you're looking for lunch, you'll find Jholano’s right across the street from Orno. It's located in an apartment complex, operating behind a red door with a faded sign from the previous occupant. It doesn’t look like a restaurant, but override your hesitation against breaking and entering and you’ll find a small counter serving a dozen stellar Italian sandwiches." - virginia otazo, ryan pfeffer
"You’ll find Jholano’s in an apartment complex in Coral Gables, where the small Italian sandwich shop is operating behind a red door with a faded sign from the previous occupant. It doesn’t look like a restaurant, but override your hesitation against breaking and entering and you’ll find a small counter serving a dozen stellar Italian sandwiches. Our favorite is il tradizionale, a perfect cold Italian sub. It has capicola, salami, pepperoni, and ham—but what really makes this sandwich are the crisp veggies that contrast so well with the salty meat." - virginia otazo, ryan pfeffer

"Tucked away in a small apartment complex near the University of Miami, Jholano’s Deli has been serving up some of Miami’s most talked about subs. The Italian-leaning creations are made-to-order (and ordering in advance is encouraged) and filled with various types of meat one typically would encounter. The favorite? The 3 AM in Rome sandwich, made with focaccia, hard salami, hot capicola, mozzarella, salt, pepper, and hot honey, delivers a unique blend of flavors as the bread perfectly absorbs the hot honey." - Olee Fowler
"I can’t stop thinking about all of the sandwiches at Jholano’s Deli — they were consistently excellent and among my favorite casual bites this year." - Olee Fowler
