| - I was shown this place back in the early 90s, and just ate here again for the first time in like twelve years. Every single time, I've gotten the meatball and cheese sub. Since I've moved to Chicago, I still have yet to find a place that made one like that.
The prices can't be beaten. The old signed picture of Ronald and Nancy Reagan addressed to Raffaele himself is still on the wall, though the ink has worn considerably since I first saw it. The ambiance is so everyman, and that really is how it should be, yet the place is a secret that every customer is in on. It is all about the food. The sandwich is still pretty much the same, but I think the bread was better back then. It used to be a well baked bread, and if you grabbed the sandwich with both hands, a meatball would always fall out of it. So I think the bread might be a bit different from then, but otherwise everything else is the same. I was seriously stuffed after eating that sandwich, just like before. I can't give an opinion on the pizza, because I've always had to have that sandwich, no matter what.
