    Turkey on white with all the fixin's
    Jeff W.

    Best sub I've had in a while Super soft fresh bread, all fresh ingredients super nice people Worth the drive from Seattle lol

    Somewhere on that bread is cheese and garlic they tell me.
    John E.

    On the door to this place it says, "The Ultimate Sandwich". Now in my mind I stood outside for a moment and conjured up in my mind the best sandwich I had ever had to date in my life. For the record that was at Burgies in Sierra Madre, California. With that thought embedded in my mind I walked through the door. Hm mm, there would be some adjusting to be done I was pretty sure. My first thought was, "Let's take a Subway, shorten the menu and put all the food in the back." I tried to quell my cynicism and looked over the menu which wasn't bad looking, lots of interesting combination's. I liked the fact the choice was 8" and 12", I never feel fulfilled with just 6" of sandwich. I decided on the Italian on cheesy garlic bread. Doesn't that sound good? Let us break that down, shall we? Cheesy. Garlic. Bread. I got my bad of baked barbecue Lay's chips and a meager cup to dispense my soda into. I walked over and must have sighed out loud because people were looking at me. Eight tap fountain dispenser, seven regular flavors of soda and one lone diet choice. That was a star off right there. When will restaurants learn that we want more diet options in our beverage choices? One nice thing was that they actually brought the sandwich out to you wherever you chose to sit. I wasn't really sure if my sandwich was being made because the two guys in the back were playing Nerf basketball, I know this because the spongy ball rolled out to my table. Shortly thereafter a pimple-faced young boy held in his shooting hand for layups a green sandwich basket that held my lunch. He didn't seem overly enthused with that task bestowed to him but he did the job. I looked down and saw white bread, with tiny little specks on it that I discerned were cheese and faintly, very faintly I thought maybe for a second I smelled a garlic type aroma but I think it was my mind playing tricks on me. Must have sighed again, people were looking. I picked up one half of the sandwich and took a bite. I would like to inform my mind not to purge my days at Bergie's in Sierra Madre from my cortex just yet. Ham, dry salami and pepperoni were somehow run together in a very very flat looking tri red colored streak. Italian dressing was supposed to be on this... oh, wait for it... yeah, OK, there was some. Lettuce, yeah, well, lots of that and was that garlic? No, definitely not. The whole half a sandwich went this way. Now I picked up the other half and bit down and there was some meat and Italian dressing and even some pickle! Somehow, the meat, dressing and pickle managed to form a survival instinct and run to one end of the kinda cheesy where was that garlic roll. Now if the first half was like the last half I might have added a star. In the background the basketball game was still a nail-biter as pimple-faced boy #1 fouled pimple-faced boy #2 with a shove into the wheat rolls. I really wanted to like this place, but I can't. I have learned from Big Town Hero though. I know that in the future I want my sandwich made in front of me like Subway and Quiznos do, I want more diet drink options like Carl's Jr and the other two sandwich places have. I want bread that tastes like something. I want to stop sighing and settling for sub-par lunches that cost me $7.75. I never thought someplace would make me sorry I didn't go to Subpar or Gosh-No's.

    They have good sandwiches. I like the very berry Turkey on wheat bread, or the Greek.

    I particularly like their avocado and turkey, and the turkey and cranberry, and their meatball is good too.

    I asked an Italian-American friend of mine where she goes for her favorite food-fix and, without…read morehesitation, she recommended Gambino's. I had the penne with meatballs and I'm happy to rate this 5-star delicious! The meatballs were a combo of ground meat and sausage. The sauce was rich, meaty and deeply cooked - no quick simmer here. My husband (who is an expert chicken Marsala taster) loved this dish as well. It's often served as a whole breast fillet alongside potatoes but this one came as medallions served over pasta, broccoli, mushrooms, and a yummy sauce. The service was friendly and just attentive enough and, though the front dining area is a bit basic, it was clean and comfortable for us. Adding this to our regular rotation. We'll be back.

Thick, luscious crust, fresh mozzarella, Roma tomatoes, basil. We ordered from the car. THIS is what we got. Absolutely unrecognizable as compared to the picture online. Barely cooked cherry tomatoes? Not at all fresh mozzarella. Thin, greasy crust. It was terrible. We tried a fried ravioli, which was also greasy and not great. I was so disappointed. We are HUGE pizza fans and this is one of our top five worst pizzas. We had such high hopes.
