Get the Verona. Best Italian sandwich I’ve ever had
This place is one of those places I almost don’t want to share because of how good it is and how affordable it is. They deserve your business. The care and effort they put into making every sandwich delicious makes the world a better place.
This hidden gem is quickly becoming a regular lunch spot for me. The food is so good and the service is quick. A long line during the lunch hour can be scary, but it always moves quickly - and it's worth whatever small wait stands between you and a great sandwich!

Cafe Olivia, IL Paninoteca, the Sandwich shop is a must-visit spot in the City Market. Located at the Regions Tower, their menu offers a variety of fresh and delicious sandwiches. Customers highly recommend the cubano, sausage, egg, and cheese breakfast sandwich, corned beef sandwich, roast pork sandwich, and the chicken sandwich. The shrimp po' boy may be a popular choice, but the chicken sandwich with unique coleslaw is nothing short of delicious.
The Reuben pastrami is praised for being perfectly made, with fresh bread that is not tough, and a great blend of sauce, meat, kraut, and cheese. The Milano sandwich, with fresh mozzarella, is also a favorite, surpassing typical Italian sandwiches. Recently, the restaurant reopened in a new spot, and visitors continue to enjoy their satisfying, high-quality sandwiches and now their great coffee as well.
Customers describe the owners as sweet and friendly, providing efficient service and good prices for the variety and quality of the menu. The cafe is kept clean and tidy, and they use ciabatta bread as the default, toasting the sandwiches. Customers also enjoy the restaurant's potato salad, Cajun turkey, roast pork sandwiches, and fruity caffeine refreshers.
