Raised in Chicago area with Italian friends that covered the bed with ravioli for one of the six courses. Real Italians did this! :- ) That said, this was one of the WORST beef sandwiches I ever had. Asked double dipped - came dry. Beef was cold! Had to seek out the Giardinera. Blue cheese fries were cold. Now for the bad part! :- ) The juice had a peppery taste. I thought maybe Al's in Chicago had a different taste. Girl next to us had been to Al's in Chicago before. She said this was not his. None of the 8 people we talked to would come back. Windy City and Aurelio's Pizza are the best in town. I gave it one star as a stretch.
