Quick trip today to check things out, grab a sandwich, and pick up a few spices. First off the prices on beans, spices, oil, vinegar, and pasta were pretty reasonable. I had heard this from local friends who swear by this place for their select food items. Sandwich ordered was Italian Steak with fresh mozzarella. Sandwich was like the wet shaved beef you can get in places like NYC and Chicago (wish I had asked for sport peppers). Pretty great by those standards, and just slightly under the Portillos Italian Beef I had in Chicago last week (again no sport peppers, but lots of mushrooms). I was impressed. They have a lot of cool stuff in here. Not sure what people are talking about because the service was perfect. Lots of parking and easy to get to on the near East side. I plan to return at least every 2 weeks until I have tried all the lunch offerings. Something about a Eggplant Parm....
