| - I can walk to Calabria's from my office, so I have probably #1 eaten too many of their subs and #2 become partial to the owner. The owner's a nice guy, I swear....really. Ok, somewhere underneath that gruff exterior and short greeting, he's a nice guy. Tell him your a Boston Red Sox fan and he'll lighten up. And know what you want to order, because lunch time (the rush hour) is tough. You can call ahead too which works great for them and you.
For office meetings, this is a fantastic people-pleaser. Almost everyone can find something on the menu, however, meat-eaters will be more satisfied with both the selection and the actual food. The specialty orange and lemon sodas, the sides of olives, cold desserts, and coffee round out the menu.
Their veggie sandwich (with cheese) is what every vegetarian hates--a boring, tasteless sub. My advice to making it better is DON'T FORGET YOUR TOPPINGS. Calabria's only has a few things like lettuce and tomato that come standard on their subs, so add, Add, ADD. Toppings don't cost you anything and trust me, adding pepperocinis to that veggie sub can mean the difference between happy lunch time and sad!
Their eggplant parm is decent, though not as good as other places around the valley. For sure, if you love cheese, the caprese will be your saving grace sub. Besides these subs or a salad, as a vegetarian, your options are limited (and weren't that good to begin with).
So, for vegetarians, search elsewhere for the best eats...for all the rest of you meat-eating folks, enjoy your Italian with a side of Sox.
