| - There's something wrong with all the great reviews. These people either went when they first opened or they have never had a veal sandwich before. I feel bad rating this place so low but I can tell you it doesn't rate anywhere near a California Sandwich or even On a Bun or a hundred other Italian sandwich shops.
After driving by a thousand times (and seeing the OPEN light on when the place is actually closed) i stopped by around 2:30 on a weekday. The stools were up on the front window counter and it was dark inside, but the door was open. Inside, it looks like they are ready to close. There are no products in any of the showcases, the place is dark and the food prep counters in sight don't seem to be used. Anyway, I never judge a book by its cover, but I would suggest someone prep the place like its open. Take the stools down, put something in the showcases and clean up a bit, not to mention add a bit more lighting.
I ordered a veal sandwich with mushrooms and agree with the review that said the sauce tastes like Ragu. It was a toss up between that and bad ketchup. I hope I caught them on an off day. The bun was cold and the veal luke warm so overall it was cold. By the start of the second half, everything just fell apart. The veal was tough with ligaments making it difficult to chew. And I was a little suspicious when my sandwich was ready in about 2 minutes. Also, the payment terminal was down so nothing but cash, but I understand that can happen.
The interior is covered with pictures of a wrestler called Ray who must be one of the owners. I don't know what all those pictures have to do with Italian sandwiches. I would rather see pictures of Italy and fresh ingredients.
There is absolutely no reason why (other than maybe a couple of dollars less) that I would come here again with so many other great Italian sandwich places around. I never wish a business to close but if they keep going on as I experienced them, they won't be open much longer.
