We were really excited to try this spot. We finally made the decision to do a take out order for lunch. The sandwich itself was solid, but the price tag was not worth it. Two sandwiches, fries and two drinks were over $50. The staff seemed to be walking around like zombies and the food took forever to come out. Not the best experience, and I'd probably look elsewhere if I was going for a sandwich for lunch. read more

Had a pretty disappointing experience with Ciao Sandwich Shoppe recently. I initially placed an order online on a weekend afternoon, well within their posted operating hours, and it was canceled with no explanation. I called and placed the order over the phone instead for pickup -- six sandwiches total, five turkey and one BLT. Five came out correct, but the BLT was wrong: I specifically asked for it on toasted white bread (it's typically served club-sandwich style on wheat, per their menu photo and description), and instead received it on a hoagie roll. If you've ever had a BLT on a hoagie roll, you know that doesn't really work. Setting the order mix-up aside -- mistakes happen -- the sandwiches themselves just weren't very good. The meat-lettuce-mayo ratio across all of them was off, to the point where they felt like they were about 70% lettuce. The bread was also stale and crumbly. Between the canceled online order, the incorrect sandwich, and the quality of the food itself, it just wasn't a great experience overall. read more

Ciao! Sandwich Shoppe - Sandwiches Near Me - Easton, Pennsylvania

Ciao Sandwich Shoppe is located in downtown Easton just off the main square area and a few minutes walk from The Crayola Experience and Easton Public Market. It's primarily a take out spot, but they do have some stools inside, and 2 tables on the sidewalk out front for eating. Sandwiches are made to order, so service/preparation might be a bit slow during peak busy periods. We went with the vegetarian Caprese Hero and the Big Moe turkey sandwich. While a bit pricey, the sandwiches are huge and good for sharing or for multiple meals. The vegetarian Caprese Hero (3/5) was ok, but was served cold, and would have been better off served with the bread toasted with cheese melted on top. The Big Moe turkey sandwich (4.5/5) was a solid combination of turkey, cheese, lettuce, tomato, and mayo. Overall, Ciao Sandwich Shoppe was a decent local business alternative to your typical chain sub shops. read more

They are quick and the sandwiches were packed well. I will definitely be going back here because they har yet to disappoint! read more

Ciao! Sandwich Shoppe - Sandwiches Near Me - Easton, Pennsylvania

It looked good but I grew up in Manhattan, little Italy specifically. Back then the heroes were fresh baked semolina, freshly sliced cold cuts and a real latte. This was not that but it was ok. Service was prompt and very polite. The place was clean and a nice outdoor sitting. The rice pudding was very good. I would go again. read more

Upon moving to Downtown Easton, Ciao quickly became one of our go-to spots for quick eats. It's a small, clean, and easy-to-order spot located in the heart of downtown. This was always a spot I walked by but never stopped, but after moving here and giving it a shot, I wish I could go back in time. Whether you order a hot sandwich smothered in sauce or a classic cold sub, you're guaranteed a loaded, consistently well-made, delicious sandwich. The attached photos are from today's meal, which was very quick, looked amazing, and tasted even better. We had two of the munchies, the Spicy Garlic Pizza Bites and the Fried Ravioli. Both were tasty and affordable. For the sandwiches, today I got The Balboa (1/2) and my boyfriend got The Italiano (whole). The chicken in The Balboa were delicious, traditional Italian style breaded cutlets. Despite being covered in their sauce and cheese, both the roll and the breading on the cutlets remained perfectly crispy. The bread is always great, and today I opted for the garlic bread semolina which added a great flavor for this sandwich. I got two thumbs up from my boyfriend about The Italiano, I couldn't really get a word from him while he was eating because he was loving this sandwich so much. I asked him if it was "better than Wawa", and if looks could kill, I wouldn't be writing this right now. His face said, "you didn't even just ask me that". Besides our successful meal today, I also wanted to share an amazing service experience I had at Ciao last week. The shop was packed, and I ended up waiting around 20 minutes on a Sunday afternoon. I didn't think much of it to be honest...Given how busy they were, the employees were clearly focused, working very hard, and turning out one amazing looking sandwich after another. When my order was ready, the owner (or manager) handed me my bag, apologized for the wait, and insisted I take a free dessert from their fridge. I hadn't complained and honestly didn't mind waiting, but that gesture spoke volumes. Some might see waiting as an inconvenience worth some sort of refund/reward, but given all of the circumstances I noted earlier, I see that as a sign of a small business thriving. So, to me, this gesture showed me how much they truly value their customers and how committed they are to creating a positive experience worth returning to. The fact that they went above and beyond only confirmed why Ciao has quickly become one of my favorite local spots. And can't forget... the cheesecake was also great! So whether you're ordering eat in and sitting outside enjoying Downtown, doing take out for pick up, or ordering to-go from online, I highly recommend Ciao for a tasty sandwich, great side options, and wonderful service. read more

A monster of a sandwich. I got the chicken parm sandwich with vodka sauce and hot honey and it was delicious.

I found Ciao! in a very quick and hungry search for a bite to eat for lunch on my way home from Easton. I was blown away by not only the size but the quality of the food. On top of that the service was just delightful. I am so happy o stopped in, I wish I lived closer to eat here more often! read more

Ciao! Sandwich Shoppe - Turkey and pastrami Rachel - Sandwiches Near Me - Easton, Pennsylvania

The food is aways great quality and tastes good, but they rarely if ever do what was requested in special instructions - this may be my fault. I'm trying different ways of ordering it if they cannot add money to the order, but I know they can refund. They could also add a slightly better ratio of meat to other ingredients but that is fixable by removing toppings and eating them separately. Service is usually good the people in the restaurant are nice and quick but sometimes they do not have food thats on the menu. Music in there is also great and the place is always clean and even though its small it has a good amount of seating inside/ outside. They are great with fixing all the problems with my online orders if there are any. I completely love this deli, there's just a couple of kinks to iron out! read more

We wandered into this small sandwich shop and we didn't realize that they closed a few minutes before we walked in. We apologized and started to leave but the staff member that greeted us at the door invited us in and let us order. They were incredibly kind and polite and the food was incredible. I got an Italian hoagie and a small bowl of rice pudding. It was fantastic. I will definitely be coming back again read more

Was really impressed compared to a lot of sub places around Lehigh Valley. It was exactly what I was hoping for and was surprised that it was this thick and really good. It was filling but I'll say, it's tough to compare this to my favorite sub shop in Port Jervis, NY by Milford, PA. The subs there are HUGE for the same price. This sub was maybe 10". Definitely wish it was one of those larger, real subs you find in small towns but it did its job for the area. I also didn't realize that the Italian doesn't come with Mayo. Next time I will definitely request that next time. The meat was really fresh and great vinegar and oil mix. The girl that helped me with my order over the phone and when I went to go pick up the order was super nice and helpful. Very friendly. The place itself is pretty small but they do have a couple of tables outside where you can eat. They also have bags of chips inside that you can purchase. Overall will definitely come back. read more

Quick service & these guys don't skimp! I got the Ciao which had tons of prosciutto, plus fresh mozzarella, roasted red peppers, and balsamic glaze. There was plenty of meat so well worth the price. The bread was fluffy and topped with sesame seeds. I found the portion to be large, so I saved half of the sandwich for later. The cheesecake crunch cones are a very sweet WINNER! The crisp shell is such a perfect contrast to the cheesecake filling. They were out of rice balls - I was looking forward to those, hoping to try that & the cannoli next time! read more

Decent winter weather this Groundhogs Day, 2022 and so, decided to head downtown Easton, PA to try this new sandwich shop named CIAO! As soon as we entered this cozy space, the good energy vibe was swirling abound and found a comfy stool at the counter. The owners were knocking out some good looking sandwiches piled high with cold cuts and toppings. It didn't take me long to order the FORGETTABOUTIT, warmed roast beast on an Italian seeded semolina roll, melted cheesy topped and served toasted. It's not so big an interior but this place has everything going for it, cold drink case, specialty sandwich board, fries and extras like chips and maybe a cannoli or a rice ball? Isaac and Anthony, you ROCK, in food preparation, service and personality. Have to admit, tho, "BONNIE'S" still on my mind which means we'll be back SOON, read more

Was Ok. They put a nice amount of meat on and was freshly sliced, bread was OK but not great. Service was college aged person taking my order, but not over the top friendly or anything. Price I thought was kind of high (over 10 for a simple ham sub). So, I'd be a little reluctant to go again as I feel there are better places to go if I'm going to spend that much. Parking is on street. Place is nice and clean. read more

This place was Delish! Fast online ordering, great sandwiches! We will definitely be back!

In the Easton commercial circle district this small sandwich shop is decent, but expensive, like most of the places in the area. Unfortunately many places there tack on some sort of premium. I imagine because the rents are high there for the area, and the business folk pass the extra cost down to the customers. There is equal to the quality to be had away from the circle area for a lower price point. That said, they make a good sandwich. The toppings choices are plentiful. Ordering is ala carte. You pay as you add. If you like your sandwiches with extra this and a little more that it gets kind of expensive. I ordered an Italiano with double meat and cheese and it cost me $20 for an eight inch sub. Not horrendous, but certainly no deal. Parking is tough in the area. It is busy there during the day and if you are there on a weekend that the city is up to something in the circle, one of their festivals or the like, it is impossible to park. On a up note, their cheesecake cones are very nice. Pay a buck [like I said, everything is ala carte] and add the strawberry glaze. It is worth it. SIDE NOTE: This place practices what is becoming a custom [and one I find GREAT disfavor with]. Upon checkout, whether online or instore, you are presented a large "what tip do you wish to give as a TIP" beg screen on the register you pay out on. I tip, and usually at least 20%, at dining establishments and to delivery persons coming to my door. I do so because that is the bulk of their remuneration. Their pay rates are miserable, but it customary. It is how it has always been done. Counter people at places where you pick up that is NOT suppose to be the case. Now, if the owner wants me to supplement the income of their employees so they can pay them less than standard rates I calculate that not as tip, but cost of the meal and add it to the ROI of doing business at this establishment and the quality to price index chart I carry around in my head for all the local places I do business at. This place is already pricey, adding a 15% gratuity to pick up, their suggested rate, makes it over the top and not worth it with other choices to be had where the quality is as good and the pricing fairer. Just something to think about if the owners of this place read this. Pay your people more, and raise the cost of the sandwich and show us the actual price to do business with you. Don't add a guilt screen to your pay out method to have your customers supplement what you aren't paying yours staff. What is next; a tip screen at the supermarket cash register? read more

Don't know if I'm gonna spell it right but the fuggetaboutit sandwich is no joke. Probably the best roast beef I've ever had on a sandwich. The staff was super friendly. The guy that makes the sandwiches pays so much attention to the little details. I was super impressed. Will definitely go back. read more

What an amazing sandwich - had the Gotti which was an amped up Italian. Best sandwich I've had outside of Philly. Beautiful rolls which are a must and boars head cold cuts showing they care about the components. Will be back soon and recommend you do the same !!! read more

We have tried this sandwich shop 3 times. The first time was amazing. The second time the order was wrong. The third time, the chicken cutlets were so salty and dry it was inedible. read more

I ordered the Ciao, the prosciutto was sliced thick, it was chewy., your suppose to always slice it thin, so it melts in your mouth. , as an Italian i know how its suppose to be sliced..., also the roll was soft. .. im use to a harder type of roll. , ive had plenty of hoagies in Nj/ Ny ,thats how they do it. .. I also orderd a side, which was not in my order when grubhub dropped it off.., i called them, they explained they were out of it, which is fine...they should of atleast called me up prior to grubhub picking it up & told me plus offered a replacement but they didn't. , i was still charged for it.... they did take it off my bill.. As a business owners daughter, you always make sure & check your order before leaving ur building... , also i thought the prosciutto was imported, not sure ..., imported is always best, .. Im not one to write reviews or complain but i was a little bit disappointed.... ​ read more

I drive from the other side of Bethlehem to Ciao Sandwich Shop. The Babe is my favorite, but the other hero's are also very good. Caio is a great place to have great food and chill out, before heading back to the grind. read more

I am very happy I didn't see the other yelp reviews and came here because it was one of the best sandwiches I have ever had. I got a turkey BLT and my boyfriend got dan da man, and we both loved them. Guy working was really cool and vibe in there was cool as well. The sandwich was a nice size and kept us full after, but definitely didn't make us feel gross like some other sandwich places do after eating. I will definitely be returning when I am in the area. read more

Ciao in Allentown gives the Ciao brand a bad rep. Took 45 minutes for a simple salad and it came with bone in the chicken. Wtf!

Love, Love, Love this place! You walk in the door your immediately greeted, and welcomed. Any questions I had about the menu was answered in detail. They are extremely nice to my son who has autism. I ordered The Chez which has boarshead turkey, amer. Ch, Mayo and on the sandwich salt n vinegar chips. My husband and son had CCW which is a grilled chicken Caesar wrap. And we also got the tortellini salad. All tastey and delicious! Thank You Isaac for being so kind to my son. I will definitely recommend your shop to everyone. read more

Terrible terrible service. Prices seemed a bit high but they said how "you're not gonna get any lower prices" and "the finest quality meats in Easton." Very horrible customer service! Once they start treating their customers with respect, I will come back! read more

I would have had a photo, but the sanwhich tasted too good to stop for a photo... but on a serious note. I have been to Ciao several times and their sanwhiches are fantastic and in my opinion Ciao sandwich shop is to date, hands down, the best sandwich shop in Easton and possibly the Lehigh Valley. A good sandwich always starts with the bread, which holds it all together, and their bread is always fantastic. Along with that are the mounds of delicious cold cut meats and fesh vegetables you get on the sandwich, which makes it for me. Every bite is a delicious journey that makes you keep wanting more. Thanks, Ciao, for a great sandwich right in the heart of downtown Easton! read more

Had the #3 "The Babe" sandwich. Perfectly seasoned grilled chicken, fresh melted mozzarella, fresh tomatoes & basil with that delicious balsamic glaze on a toasted roll. Hands down my new favorite sandwich. Can't wait to come back from another one. read more
