Rick the rock
Dalal J.

Met my husband for a quick lunch date to try this new spot! I had no idea they even existed but online it showed they were highly rated! The place is small and seemed to have only one person working the register and making the food. Figured it made sense since we were the only people at the restaurant. My husband ordered and a sandwich and so did I. Mine was the Rick the Rock. I asked if it was possible to have ham instead of turkey which he said isn't a problem. We sat outside when the order was ready the person running the place yelled across the counter it's ready for us to grab it. Caught me by surprise that he couldn't even bring it to the table. When I looked at my sandwich the ham looked light and I wanted to make sure it wasn't turkey so I double checked. His response was "didn't you ask for ham? I gave you ham why are you asking me again?" I was beyond thrown off by how rude his customer service was. The only reason why I would give this place 3 stars is because they come completely loaded with goodies and are delicious but over $50 for 2 sandwiches is so expensive!!!!

FRIDAY I'M IN LOVE
Jon Z.

Not gonna mess around with this review. This was simply one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. Driving through Livermore looking for a good sandwich, and yelp recommendations came through for me! This place (obviously) has great reviews so I decided to go. And it certainly meets the hype The staff was very friendly--I let them know it's my first time there so I needed a bit of time to look over the menu--and they were very helpful letting me know the options. I got the Friday I'm In Love and it was amazing. Great size, absolutely packed with meat, amazing flavor. This was a 10/10. The garlic spread was delicious, the slaw was seasoned very well, and everything was very fresh and flavorful. Dutch crunch also had great texture. My only possible complaint was that the meat wasn't very evenly distributed as you can see in the pic, but that's a very minor complaint. To reiterate, this was one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. Unfortunately I'm not very close to Livermore, but anytime I'm close by in the future, I absolutely want to stop by again. I highly, highly recommend this place for a sandwich!

Californian on Sourdough ($18.25, 2/5 stars)
Melanie H.

You know how bread makes or breaks a sandwich? It was a total miss here. The sourdough was so soggy and lacked sourness so it was really bland. Initially I thought maybe the bread was soggy because of my very loaded Californian sandwich, but we ordered another sandwich that didn't come with slaw or cheese and removed sauce, and even THAT one was still soggy. I even tried retoasting the bread but to no avail because it still tasted far from sourdough. Really wanted to like this place and support a local business. I had high expectations for the quality given the prices and ratings. I'll give it to them that they use quality deli meat and have a fun menu with homemade sauces, hopefully they can continue to improve. One thing to note is you can't sub for a different sauce. PASS: + Californian ($18.25, 2/5 stars) felt very overwhelming to me with flavors mixing from the heavily vinegared slaw, Swiss, and garlic herb sauce

Most terrible service I walk in and he is forcing to take our order. We wanted calamari and he said we have no calamari, pasta, or chicken. 'It sure why it's on the kiosk to order on your own. They advertise this place to have pasta also but I got here and sat down noticing that there signs for what they have are crossed out. Tf is this place $50 for terrible sandwiches. See all these awards but for what lmao. Took him 20 minutes to make 2 sandwiches.

Solid sandwich shop in Livermore - we stopped by earlier this month after going paddle boarding nearby at Shadow Cliffs. We were seated right away, but they were understaffed and it took them a long time to take our order. When the server finally stopped by, we ordered drinks, appetizers and a few sandwiches, which arrived soon after. Our favorites: - The Americano: superb classic Italian sandwich. - Philly Cheesesteak: our teen enjoyed this. - BLTA: get this on Dutch Crunch! The appetizers (jalapeño poppers, arancini) and sides (onion rings, fries) were either under or overdone, but the sandwiches more than made up for it. Doing takeout next time.

The Famous AMERICANO Sandwich!!!

My husband and I love going to Americano! The Food is absolutely fantastic! They have there famous Americano Sandwiches and many more to choose from! The Service is great! Very kind staff! The Ambiance is stunning! Feels like a family home when you walk in! We love the next renovated aesthetics!

Is it worth the $$$? Not to me. The sandwich was just ok. I had the King Kong, Hubby had the chicken parmesan with a lemonade and a side of fries, our total was $55. The fries were tasty. If it had been a huge sandwich, busting with ingredients,tasty, not thrown together and big enough to share....maybe. Perhaps their italian dishes are great, but I won't be finding out. Service was good..but the bathroom had a horrible smell, like sewage.

We were out in Livermore shopping at the outlets and wanted to grab some dinner. Italian was the theme and Americano was the choice. I chose Americano because of it won an award with the SJ Mercury. What I didn't realize was it won for their sandwiches. LOL. What do you do when it's dinner time and you go to a place known for its sandwiches? Order pasta. And if you haven't had pasta at Americano, you should!!!! The tetrazzini was fantastic. It is a baked dish with chicken, cheese and fettuccine. Just a delicious combo. The portion is large so deintiely shareable with two people. We also had the Rigatoni Bolognese (also a shareable portion). The bolognese was touted as homemade and you could tell. Bolognese is really about the time you give for the meats, tomato sauce and herbs meld together. And I can tell this one wa made with care. The place itself is mall with maybe a capacity max of 30-40. There was one server last night and she was busy. This place has nonstop sandwich orders to go. There was a constantly folks coming for food deliveries and to go orders. Our order took a little time but I could tell both pasta dishes were made to order, so I didn't mind. The sit down ambiance was very relaxed and homey in style. It's too bad Americano is all the way in Livermore, I'd deintiely want to try their sandwiches.

Came for lunch with coworkers and was not disappointed! Had the meatball sub on Dutch crunch and it was MASSIVE, and awesome Tiramisu too - just bummed they didn't have ice coffee to go along with it. Alexi was super friendly and provided amazing service. Will definitely be back, and probably cater some office lunches from them too!

I truly dislike having to write this, but today's visit was by far the most disappointing experience I've had at Americano. While their new kiosk design is sleek and modern, it shouldn't come at the cost of attentive service--I felt entirely overlooked. I've been here before, and although the sandwich construction was never stellar, today was a low point. I ordered the Tiger Woods sandwich and paid an extra $4 to add avocado. What I received looked like it had been carelessly assembled: the sandwich was sloppily cut, spilling out most of the ingredients immediately. The bacon was barely cooked--fatty and limp when it should've been crisp--and the avocado? I'm guessing they added a quarter slice at best. It was nearly absent. The entire experience made it feel like there was zero pride in the food's preparation, no care or thought put into it. When a business claims to make the "Best sandwiches in the Bay Area," they ought to stand by that promise. Sadly, this wasn't anywhere close. I sincerely hope the team takes this feedback to heart. Simple attention to detail--better cutting, properly cooked ingredients, and thoughtful service--can make all the difference.

Yaas, Queen! Sandwich
Muoi H.

It's been awhile since I've stop by! On the way to cherry picking and decide to grab something quick but unfourtunately if though the order say it was ready at a certain pickup time we ended waiting 30 min more! Prices has gone up ( what hasn't right) but the quality of the chicken actually decline for me! chicken was a bit tad on the dry side but they did have a good portion or meat and filling that help balance out the dryness /taste!

Sandwich
Sherie K.

Niko was a great waitress! She accommodated my extreme thirst after working outside in the hotel sun all day with plenty of water and iced tea refills! There was hardly anyone else in there when I ate so occasionally we chatted a bit too which was nice. I ordered something similar to an Italian sandwich with crunch bread and it was very good -- the looks were deceiving because I was so full after eating half! The interior feels a little dated, but so many good Italian places are like that to keep the original charm. I would definitely come back when I'm in the area!

The tacos are on petite, single shells with a piece of fish, avocado and cabbage slaw on each. I happily ate every bite. A side salad would have enhanced this dish. I wish I had ordered an appetizer, like the deviled eggs or brussels sprouts, as it would have rounded out my lunch well and it would have been more filling. I noticed a steady flow of people coming and going. It was a relaxed atmosphere and we were not rushed out by any means. I hadn't seen my friend in person for at least a year so it was nice to sit and just chat in a calm environment. Located directly across First Street from Sauced. This place is another positive addition to downtown Livermore.

In-house we haven't had much issue, but I don't know what's going on with door dash/delivery orders. Almost every time, there's an issue. My littles absolutely love the mini corn dogs, and even though the listing says "with fries" they've suddenly stopped delivering with fries for the past few months ( and don't allow customer notes.) It's also a 50/50 chance the mini corn dogs will be dark and hard... I have a sensitive stomach with dietary restrictions, so I find great comfort that I can get the seared ahi tuna tacos while my husband enjoys a hamburger... but the last few orders have been so wrong. Once I was missing avocado, next I was missing the sauce, and this time my tuna was completely raw, not seared with hard jasmine rice and very tiny avocado slices. I always put input in to DoorDash, but I don't think it's getting to the restaurant... and it's reached a point where I feel like I have to leave this review and maybe find a new go to for quick family dinners. I enjoy visiting, the staff is always so kind and the kids like the back patio. Perfect vibe for a laid back dinner.. but why are the to-go orders so terrible suddenly? Absolutely heartbreaking.

Range Life was one of those discoveries, and it turned out to be one of the best dining experiences I've had in years. I started with the Halibut Crudo, followed by the Sonoma Coast Ling Cod, and finished with the Milk & Honey dessert. Every dish was thoughtfully prepared, beautifully presented, and packed with flavor. The Halibut Crudo was fresh, delicate, and perfectly balanced. The Ling Cod was cooked flawlessly and paired with ingredients that complemented rather than competed with the fish. Then came the Milk & Honey dessert. Without question, it was the best dessert I've ever had. And that's saying something because I've enjoyed some incredible desserts over the years. The textures, flavors, and creativity came together in a way that was unforgettable. It wasn't just dessert--it was an experience. I don't particularly enjoy dining alone, but the food was so exceptional that it didn't matter. From the first course to the last spoonful, every dish had its own personality. The restaurant was lively and energetic, the service was attentive, and the entire experience felt intentional from start to finish. Some meals fill your stomach. Others create a memory. This one did both. I'll absolutely be back.

The interior was a nice set up. Not too loud but a little low on the lighting. We kicked things off with the hush puppies.

Good hush puppies though. The crispy Brussels sprouts were fantastic. I've had a similar version with lemon at Station 16, so I found myself wanting to grab a lemon wedge out of habit. That said, they were still delicious and disappeared quickly. My cousin ordered the Salisbury steak and absolutely loved it. It was cooked perfectly, tender, and full of flavor. My other cousin had the New York steak and said they nailed the temperature and seasoning. I ordered the Bourbon Chicken, and the flavors were outstanding. My only tiny complaint is the sauce. It was so generous that my mashed potatoes eventually surrendered and became mashed potato soup. I'd still order it again because the flavor was worth it but maybe ask for the sauce on the side. My son had the Southwest Salad and cleaned the bowl, which is about as close to a Michelin star as a parent can give. The service was friendly, the food came out looking as good as it tasted, and everyone at the table genuinely enjoyed their meal.
