paninoteca

This place merits ZERO stars. We went to this sandwich shop before heading to the train station thinking it’d be nice to get some nice sandwiches for our journey. The lady who served us explained how things worked and once I ordered what I wanted, she started coughing and coughing non-stop which to me became concerning. Then a man, poorly kept, who knew them and addressed them by their name, entered the shop and was asking how the lady was doing and that she needs to take care of whatever that’s happening with her health as she continues coughing. She covers her mouth with her hands and then touches our sandwich paper wraps with the same hands before washing them, or stepping out to take care of her cough. I politely mention that I don’t feel comfortable with the coughing situation where our food is being prepared. The guy who works there retorts, “she’s not touching your sandwiches, I am!!!!” And bear in my mind that this shop is tiny, the two are stood should to shoulder, and her proximity to the food ingredients and lack of clean surfaces can still be a concern. Once I said that I don’t feel comfortable, their “friend” tells me to GET LOST and leave the shop. The lady and the man behind this tiny counter say nothing that their customer was just insulted in front of them. And so I walk out of this supposedly nice sandwich shop that has no standards of hygiene and basic levels of politeness and respect for their customers and couldn’t be happier that I would not be eating sandwiches infected with who knows what. If that’s the way they prepare food in front of you, I wonder what goes on behind closed doors. As a side note, I hope that the lady recovers from whatever it is that ails her. Perhaps this would be an indication to not go to work with such persistant symptoms.

Ate here many times during our stay in Marseille. The sandwiches are a highlight. The staff is so friendly and helpful. Would come here over and over again if i lived in Marseille.

Delicious sandwiches! We stumbled across this place as soon as we arrived in Marseille and I am so glad we did. The friendly man working there explained how to choose a sandwich (pick a bread then an item from each section of sauces, cheeses, vegetables and meats). The results were fantastic. Great food and great service.

So so good! The focaccia was delicious and warm, I asked for my panini with pesto verde, stracciatella, sundried tomatoes and mortadella. Ingredients were fresh and full of flavour. I paid €12 for one panini and a drink. Service was great by both people that were working there the day I went. They have seating inside and outside, great vibe as it is close to the port and you can people watch and enjoy the sun

Had a poor experience here. We ordered a few sandwiches for dinner but the owner was very careless and had very poor hygiene in making them. He was coming in and out cleaning the outside tables with a dirty cloth. From there, he didn't wash his hands or wear gloves when making the sandwich. My wife says she saw him picking at something in his teeth while handling the meat and assembling the sandwich. It's a shame because the sandwich is good but very poor hygiene standards and the owner acted like we were an inconvenience for trying to eat at the restaurant. Would avoid this place if you don't want to risk any stomach issues.

Super yummy sandwiches - Ciabatta w courgette classic 9.5/10 - pesto classic sandwich 8/10 but my friend thought it was 9/10 Both had really good and fresh fillings. The foccacia was on the oily side but they came heated and toasted.

These were easily the best sandwiches I had in Italy. Pictured are the Prima Vera and Dolce Vita.

One of the best sandwiches I've had in France! The store is super cute and lady at the counter was so sweet! Don't skip the tiramisu!
