Got the Gandolfini sandwich today. $8.50. A thin slice of roast beef, 1 piece of the spicy italian,a shred of turkey, a few little pieces of lettuce and a slice of tomato. That was the "whole" sandwich. It was completely tasteless.

My brother’s recommended and raved about the Italian Beef sandwich, that is was delicious and that I would only want more after tasting it for the first time. Well, I admit they were right as the sandwich lived up to all of the hype as it was excellent!!

I typically never leave reviews, but Taste of Italy is an absolute Gem. I started going here within the last 2 years and boy oh boy has my life changed. The house special with hot peppers is to die for, their pasta salad is one of the most perfectly crafted dishes in this world. Their staff is amazing, interactive and I absolutley love the small grocery section they have within the store. 1,000,000/10 would recommend Taste of Italy

I've been going to Taste of Italy for decades. There is no better sandwich shop in the metro. This is a family owned business and they are wonderful, give these folks a try and you'll be hooked just like me!--Bob

Please try this place if you havent! A small off the path GEM! I usually eat inside for lunch and also sometimes come by to pick up the fabulous meatballs to take home for spaghetti ? ?. Todd and his mom are always genuine and super nice....and also who ever else is working behind the counter. Just yesterday I showed up as Todd was already in his jeep and leaving...and he pulled back into the lot for me to let me get the meatballs my family loves. You don't see hardly anybody doing that for customers anymore! Appreciate you brother!

Best place in town. No questions asked. Get the P.I.T.A. You're welcome. Don't bring just anyone here. Only the deserving.
