La Pecora Nera

This is such a cute spot! Great to get some food to go or to sit in. The sandwiches were delicious and the bread tastes so fresh. Not to mention they were HUGE! We also got the cookies and the cannolis and the chocolate and that hit the sweet tooth perfectly. The owner and the employees were so attentive and wanted to make sure everything was perfect. Excited to come back!

Not many places in Michigan that serve a little taste of Italy with speciality Detroit/ Italian style Sandwiches. Had the mortadella and ricotta (highly recommend!) and the papa Georgio. The service was friendly and helpful with recommendations. It’s also a small place so seating will be limited if you go during peak times. Overall the sandwiches were good and will definitely come back for the mortadella and something new.

INCREDIBLE! Best Italian sandwich shop since I left Chicago. The bread is fresh and crazy well made both airy and expertly seasoned with delicious olive oil. The ratio of meat to cheese, veggie and bread showcases skills and mastery of traditions. The temp is on point and the spice on the muffuletta will make your mouth water. I’m just grateful that whoever worked hard for this place decided to do it in my neighborhood. What a lucky day to find this around here!

This place is amazing! Came to visit Detroit from Dallas, TX. This food is genuinely delicious. I've been to Italy before and this reminds me of it, I got the Italian sandwich with the focaccia bread which is one of the tastiest things I've had. I recommend coming to visit this place.

Everyone was very friendly and the food was amazing! We got the caprese sandwich since I don’t eat meat and it was outstanding. They have something for everyone! Giant sandwich for only $12!

Anthony and the guys were amazing!!! 10 out of 10 recommend. Def stop by if you’re in the area and grab and grab a drink & snack! Very clean & cute shop

I have had La Pecora Nera 4 times and every-time the service is great! The only thing I have realized with each sandwich I have had is there isn't a lot of flavor. The presentation is beautiful and the focaccia bread is immaculate. The only issue is I feel like each sandwich is missing seasoning or some sort of flavor. It's very bland. Other than that the location is great and the service is top notch!

I’ve been wanting to try this place and finally did today. We ordered the Napa with pepperoncini and the spicy Caesar. The Napa was missing the peppers and that’s fine I guess but the whole sandwich was odd. Not enough chicken, it didn’t cover the bread in even 1 thin layer and had areas of just a ton of avocado and bread. For an almost 20$ sandwich I wasn’t expecting this. Way too much avocado; couldn’t taste the garlic aoli whatsoever. And not enough toppings. I didn’t even notice cheese on the sandwich. Basically ended up with a lettuce and avocado sandwich. The spicy Caesar was just ok. Soggy & nothing I would order again. Sent the wrong cannoli as well. Maybe we just ordered on a bad day but definitely won’t waste our time with this place again.

Sandwich was big for the price, and the pasta salad was out of this world. Very friendly help, and they filled my cannoli to order. Definitely will be coming back.

I love this place and the tram is great. if your looking for a quick, affordable, TASTY sandwich this is the spot. I highly recommend the Italiano with a side of coke.

This review is just for the cannoli. I was walking back to my car after stopping at Paris Baguette after work yesterday, and was feeling a little gluttonous (I'm also 7 months pregnant, so I'll use that as my excuse, lol), and saw the cannoli sign in the window, so I stopped in. I've heard of their Detroit location before - apparently they have one in Farmington too - but they're new to Birmingham, when I asked they said they been here 3-4 months. I want to say this is where Planthropie was, but I may not be correct on that. They have the cannoli shells ready to go, and they add the ricotta when you order. You can also choose if you want caramel and/or chocolate sauce on top. The cannoli are $3.75 each and I think there was a discount if you bought a certain #, I just bought two though. The sandwiches looked fantastic although unfortunately I'm not supposed to have deli meat right now.... I'll be back after August, since I'm due then. :) Overall I'd come back here, service was friendly too.

Some friends had recommended this place to us a few weeks ago, so when we were wandering around Birmingham on a pretty spring day, we decided to give it a try. The menu has a variety of sandwiches and salads to choose from. I tried the spicy chicken Caesar and my wife did the same, without the spice. The sandwiches were very good, but they were huge - we probably would have split one if we knew that ahead of time. It was also kind of pricey - not unusual for most places in Birmingham - but $35 for two sandwiches and two waters seemed a little steep. There are a few small tables inside, but you're probably better off taking your food to go.

Wow so good, I had the turkey Bella, the bread is insane. Really nice staff, beautiful store.

Fantastic Italian sandwiches. The foccia bread is a little thick, imo, but everything here is amazing. The sandwiches are large--large enough for people to split or to eat over two meals. Service is quick and friendly too.

Thank you very much for a great meal! Been waiting for a sandwich spot downtown where sandwiches were not $20/per, this place fits the bill. 100% would recommend getting the corned beef, pasta salad. Bread is amazing! Definitely check it out.

Such a cute sandwich shop. Ingredients are fresh and the sandwiches are huge. I love to eat here and leave feeling good that i had a nice healthy lunch. Everyone who works there is so kind and the service is great

Great new addition for breakfast/lunch options. Cool vibe and attentive service. You order at the counter and there is limited seating. Great tasting big sandwiches. Took half the sandwich home. We ordered the Turkey Bella and the Italiano. Not a fan of the focaccia bread. Wish I knew you can substitute an Italian roll at no extra cost. Both sandwiches were seriously under "sauced". Ask for extra aioli/dressing on the side.

I love a great deli sandwich. Sadly, La Pecora Nera didn't quite deliver. The meats in my italiano were very good quality, the shredded lettuce was fresh, and the dressing was tangy and bright. The problem was that there was so little of it. It was buried in a giant, bland, slightly stale focaccia. Ive had much better in much less upscale zip codes. This place is trying hard to fit into the Birmingham vibe, but they might do much better by making a better sandwich. The service was friendly enough, but the music was definitely off putting. Really loud music that would have been more suited to a Mediterranean style restaurant.

Lame Italian sandwich , its a loaf of bread with no dressing and a bit of meat... wont return.

The food here is outstanding and the dining room is clean and bright. They just added an adorable little patio. I highly recommend this establishment.

Amazing amazing amazing! The sandwiches and soups are absolutely delicious. You can tell they use fresh and clean ingredients. I was thinking about the sandwich for a few days Birmingham needed this! + staff is super friendly and helpful!

Sandwiches are fantastic, however you have to ask to have them cut in half, in which they say "no problem" and then don't cut it. So after waiting for it you then have to take it back up to have them cut it. Service and friendliness is mediocre at best, and the place is dirty. Trash can always full, dirty tables and floors, not to mention the music is terrible. Maybe they prefer you take your food to go, because they certainly don't make it comfortable and inviting for you. Sandwiches are good but I would rather drive down to Rocco's before I go back to this place.

A lot of recommendations, so we split an Italian sandwich to try out during lunch. Very busy place. I would say, that after having a Rocco's Italian sandwich in Detroit, La Pecora is not even close to the Quality of Rocco's. LePecora is however a better option than Subway or Jersey Mikes.
