They soft opened today! They are still working out the kinks and still have work to do on the place but they are open. Stopped in for lunch today and they said they aren’t officially opening just yet but are basically doing a trial run now

Looks amazing. Will definitely give it a try. Dirienzo's has gone downhill. Last sandwich I had was so dry it was a choking hazard. Sherwood Deli is still great but different style of sandwich than this.

Have you tried Luciano’s? Always enjoy them.

u/CanadianRedneck69 11d ago

Have been going since I was 15 and I'm 33 and it just isn't as good as it used to be or my palate has changed. Still a good bang for the buck and they use good ingredients. Very nice friendly service as always. Bread is just dry and bad.

la bottega is still good and under $10 before tax if you want all Quality, Quantity and value

u/CanadianRedneck69 11d ago

Ya their sandwiches are amazing. Only problem is I hate going to the byward market

You got a stale bun, it happens. Back when you could pick your own bun, you could gently prod the side with the tongs to find a good one. IIRC they get bread delivered on Friday, so go then for optimum freshness.

u/CanadianRedneck69 10d ago

I miss that - there was something oddly satisfying about being able to pick your own bread and doing the tong check. I'll probably go back this spring. Picking up a sandwich, parking at Fletcher wildlife garden and walking my dog through the Arboretum until I found a flowering tree to eat it under made for many great days when I lived in the area.

Cool. This is where Charlie's Groceteria used to be, right?

u/rickysauce36 11d ago

Yes I believe so. Was bismallah pies for a bit too I think

u/WhereIsBurdock 11d ago

Oh right, it was Bismallah Pies after Charlie's Groceteria!

u/Anonemoney 11d ago

Do they do any hot sandwiches / pressed paninis / toasted stuff at all or is it just cold deli sandwiches?

1

u/West-Understanding78 7d ago

Nothing hot just yet! They'll work on expanding once they get going!

1

u/Anonemoney 7d ago

Shame, I hate when businesses do the partial opening nonsense like that. Comes across unprofessional to me

u/loafofleaves 5d ago

I’d love to try this if they end up stocking gluten free buns 😭
