This sandwich shop is awesome , you can’t beat the price either compared to other shops charging 2x more for the same size.

I'm hesitant to write this. I don't want to ruin it...
I only stumbled upon this place recently, so I guess I shouldn't really feel that way, but Original Nottoli & Son is a hidden gem.
The food is great, the lunch specials are cheaper than any chain and far better.

They also sell homemade things to take home and reheat, though they're a little pricey, but you pay for what you get; it surely takes a lot of work to make these things.

I'll be back. Again. And again.

Loved hearing customers talking about their favorite items amongst each other and commenting on someones beef who had just unrolled it right in the store at the table.
As well as conversing with the (I presume) owner as we wait 10 customers deep.
3 ladies were working as quickly as they could to fill orders. With signs around the store mentioning they are short staffed currently and looking to hire.
A 3% surcharge for card purchases as noted in the window.
They pulled the beef straight from their vat of juice and beef in the counter display and loaded up what I thought was going to be a scrawny sandwich for the price.
Thick aluminum foil wrapping and a deli ticket with my sandwich options kept this sandwich hot and the bag dry.
Extremely soft and supple beef slices with smaller shreds and bits throughout the sandwich.
Visible spice on paper is good to see
Not much heat from the spices on their own, but enough for it to not be bland without giardanra.
It's slightly thicker beef than I prefer but excellent overall flavor, though Michael's in Oak Park still has the best flavor currently for me.
The biggest thing that you need to know is that this was $6.55 before tax.
Where are you gonna find such an amazing beef UNDER $7? I'll wait cause in 2024-2025, there isn't much left at that price point. If you haven't gone here, you need to make it a priority the next time you want a beef... and then also while you are there, it's a grocery and deli as well!
Parking is hell because this very specific crossroads has many no turns, but if you look for parking and make a quick walk, it will be well worth your time.
4.5/5 (for the beef at least taking into account the cost.)
