"Eating out in Boston for under $9 can feel like a fantasy. But at that price point, Sammy Carlo’s, a neighborhood staple since 1927, serves a whole host of large sandwiches - from the juicy chicken parm to the homemade meatball sub. The sandwiches are so substantial that you can easily split them or keep the other half for dinner - that’s what dreams are made of." - joel ang

"Sammy Carlo’s will remain open during the day, operating from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Friday and 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, while Food for Thought takes over the space in the evenings and on Sundays for brunch. The space retains its old-school sheen with minimal changes." - Terrence Doyle

"Sammy Carlo’s is an Italian deli that opened in 1927 and continues to unite the neighborhood over chicken parm sandwiches. On any given day, you’ll find construction workers, firefighters, high school kids, and the local alderman discussing why Tom Brady didn’t catch that pass. It’s a fun environment with affordable good food (that chicken parm is only $5.50), and we’re all for it." - Joel Ang

"Sammy Carlo’s Delicatessen and Catering, located at 567 Bennington St, East Boston, is known for its breakfast and lunch menus along with its selection of Italian cold cuts and groceries. The owner, Steve Scire, is planning to partner with Food for Thought from Ogunquit, Maine, to introduce dinner and drinks to the deli space. This transformation will turn the deli into a full-service restaurant for dinner, while maintaining separate business entities." - Terrence Doyle

A random find while out looking for breakfast. What a treasure! Tons of great atmosphere simmered in some local neighborhood history. The breakfast was amazing. Some of the best home fries to be had are right here. The French toast was also delicious. I would recommend this place for sure. Great spot and I will be back.

I hope this Boston landmark rides into the next century. I was waiting to pick up my mother at the airport and decided to get a breakfast sandwich. I am on that vegetarian food train nowadays and it was my first time having an eggplant parmesan sandwich. Praise the vegetable gods! So good, like better, healthier and cheaper than a Steak sub. For less than $9, I got this small eggplant sandwich, day old pizza (solid) and chocolate pie cookie while enjoying the views at Constitution Beach. This is a stellar small business establishment flavored in with a bit of Masshole on the phone and ringing you up. Two thumbs up!

Classic cheerless Sicilian pizza and a large meet all sub. Pizza is AMAZING and a rare find these days with most of the other small Italian bakeries closed. Really brought back the childhood memories. Meatballs in the sub were tender and sauced nicely with some provolone cheese. For the high quality of the food, you can’t beat the price. Can’t wait to go back.

Prices are not for the faint of heart, unless you are getting a very well-priced breakfast. Anything beyond breakfast, you are paying a little more than you should. If you order a hot sandwich, you will be waiting upwards of 20 minutes. That being said, it’s very good. This is a once-in-a-while, treat-yourself sandwich joint.

BREAKFAST ! ! Sammy Carlo's was the first spot I tried after moving to the neighborhood for breakfast. Since then, I went back for their lunch subs and retro candy and soda selection. This morning I ordered SAUSAGE, EGG &CHEESE w/side of BACON... it was unexpectedly top notch, YUM!

I almost forgot about this place! Always use to get an omlette sub for breakfast - you can pick 3 veggies! So good! I tried the Sicilian pan pizza today for the first time - excellent! They have a lot of specialty subs that are really good. Today I was craving a basic chicken salad sub. They make their chicken salad homemade. The sub was enormous and so tasty. Would reccomend this place 10/10. The picture shows half of my sub because I didn't take a picture in time. I added the pepper but I'm sure they would if you asked.

Incredibly good sandwiches. Not as large as other spots but still very filling. The hours are a bit limited so double check before going
