    Porchetta sandwich, $16
    Calder S.

    I did a takeout order recently and it was pretty good. I got the Porchetta sandwich ($16) with roasted pork, salsa verde, fennel-apple slaw, spicy pepper crema. The sandwich was very tasty. The flavors are well balanced. The bread was nicely toasted. It was a little oily. I'm not sure where they get the "porchetta" name or "roast pork" description from, because the meat in the sandwich is some sort of thinly sliced deli meat and not what I expect from that name/description. That said, the image shown on the Toast menu did show what the sandwich actually looked liked -- with deli meat -- so I was sort of expecting this. I expected a larger sandwich, especially for the price. It was pretty small and flat. I used to get the Bar Boheme sandwiches (another Union Market stall, but sadly closed now) and they were a similar price and enormous. It would have been 5 stars if the sandwich was larger/better value and description was more accurate.

    I've been dreaming about these focaccia sandwiches since I visited last week. I had a bite of my friend's Tartufo and really enjoyed it but the Italiano has been living rent-free in my head for days. Idk what's in the pepper sauce but I want to put it on everything. The bread is so perfectly soft and holds up despite the generous toppings. Highly recommend!

    Love this focaccia sandwich spot at union market. Easy to order on the kiosk so you don't feel rushed. The sandwiches were so delicious and we were worried since we just came back from Rome that this may be a poor choice but we were pleasantly surprised. They tasted so similar the sandwich we just had in Italy the week prior - we just couldn't believe it.

    Amazing sandwiches! I got the chicken parm and it is delicious. They don't skimp on the chicken and there was plenty of cheese and basil. Their focaccia is crisp and rich. I loved the paprika potato chips. I tried Stappi, a bitter Italian soda, and it was good. Staff is friendly. I'm excited to return.

    Caprese Sandwich
    Chelsea C.

    Did not expect this beautiful- yet simply crafted caprese sandwich to be the standout sandwich that comes out of Union Market but it did! Bread was soft and pillowy, lemon aioli gives the sandwich a rich, yet bright mouth feel, tomato was meaty, and the baslamic drizzle reintroduces the tang necessary to complete a sandwich this rudimentary.

    Tartufo
    Charlotte L.

    The focaccia sandwich was incredible. We tried the prosciutto and black truffle, and it was the perfect size with just the right amount of filling. I'd love to go back for the Caesar version, ideally with a chicken cutlet--since it's part of the All-Purpose group, and their Caesar salad is always excellent, I can only imagine this would be just as good. Located in Union Market, the sandwich was ready in just a few minutes, making it an easy and satisfying stop.

    Capra
    Jack G.

    We tried the Capra and the mushroom sandwiches. I really liked the Capra (not the biggest mushroom fan) and the focaccia buns are a unique touch. I think the price is pretty steep for the size of the sandwich, so it's more of a weekend treat than a weekday meal. Service and ambiance are what you expect out of Union market: standard and overwhelming.

But maybe that's better for them too. You can order to-go at the window and/or request a spot in the limited spaced dining/bar area. I've only gotten the Sub Club the few times I've gone here but what can I say? its a fail proof staple that is hard to get wrong and that they do very right. I often pair it with one of their drinks, this time being the spicy ginger ale which was solid as well. There's really not much place to dine-in if you're trying to dine and go - I recommend only using the dining area if you're solo, a couple, or part of a small group (at MOST maybe - a hard maybe - on 4 people) and only if you want to use the bar. One couple tried to squeeze in a baby stroller into the bar/dining area. Its really not suitable for things like suitcases or strollers so if you're in that camp maybe try some other spots because that also made a tiny space all the more difficult to navigate. Also, if you have a mobility device, this might not be the best spot for you either. I've never used their restrooms before so can't comment on that one. I still will say it is good for when you want to grab and go - so if you're in that category, and you like moderately priced sandwiches (for this part of town) this might work for you.

I heard good things about their sandwiches. My go to is normally Mangialardo's on Pennsylvania Ave in SE DC or Carl's Subbs on Rhode Island Ave in NE DC. I think I will stick to both of them next time. The staff was very friendly and helpful to me as a first timer but the sandwich was totally disapointing! NOT worth it, at all. I ordered a 9 inch capicola, ham, and cheese sub on the hard roll. The roll was very good and fresh but I couldn't taste the cheese or meat in the sandwich because there wasn't enough of it. I tasted the bread, the toppings of lettuce, tomato and onions. I decided to deconstruct the sandwich and found exactly 4 very thinly sliced pieces of meat and 2 very thinly sliced pieces of cheese as pictured clearly in the photographs. I also noticed that the they have different prices for the same type of meats. For example, they have a $29.99 per pound Capicola and one for $9.99 a pound. I asked which went on the sandwich and of course it was the cheaper one. That wasn't surprising and getting my sandwich back to the office. I decided not to eat the rest of the meatless sandwich and just take the loss. I wouldn't come back nor would I recommend a friend to try it

Most people order their sandwiches to go. The line can get pretty long, but you get through at a decent pace, I wouldn't say fast. Simple and straightforward ordering process, just remember what you ordered because they don't take names. I go between the Crunchy Boi and the Marisa Tomei Eats Free, which are both great. The Crunchy Boi is probably their most popular sandwich and it's lighter than you would think considering it's filled with potato chips. I think it's worth trying once. The Marisa Tomei, on the other hand, has never failed me. It's balanced with an absurd amount of arugula against the meat, and it's never dry. The portions are generous, like you could definitely split it into two meals, but they're not so heavy that you couldn't finish a sandwich in one sitting.

The Portfino sandwich hit the spot and bursting with flavor in every bite! The sandwich was stuffed with a heap of veggies (mushrooms, peppers, onions, arugula) with goat cheese and topped with lemon aioli, delicious! The Monaco roasted veggie sandwich is very flavorful! The sandwich was stuffed with fried eggplant, grilled zucchini, stracciatella, tomato, arugula and roasted red pepper spread. The Parmigiano sandwich with eggplant was more like a Caprese sandwich with fresh mozzarella cheese, greens, tomato, and crispy thinly sliced eggplant stuffed between scrumptious moist Focaccia bread. This isn't a traditional sloppy Joe's Eggplant Parm sandwich (there's no marinara sauce!) While the ingredients were neatly tucked inside and I enjoyed the sandwich, the sandwich particularly was a little bit dry and I think a bit of sauce like pesto or marinara would go a long way. The Nutella Brownie is best eaten at room temperature, it tastes chewy and pretty awful cold. Let it thaw.

My husband got the Piccata sandwich, which is a chicken mushroom and caramelized onion sandwich on focaccia bread. This sandwich was honestly a 10 out of 10. It was savory, umami and a little sweet from the caramelized onions. The chicken was really juicy and flavorful--not at all dry. I got the Caprese sandwich which was good, but it could really use a bit of salt. If it was an option to add Bacon, I would've definitely done that. I also wish that they used heirloom tomatoes instead of regular Roma tomatoes. Overall, really great sandwich options and a great place for lunch in the city.

As soon as we arrived for our reservation and sat down, we were wished happy anniversary by the hostess and our waitress. For cocktails, my wife got a cantaloupe cobbler and I got the pornstar martini without the caviar. Both drinks were great, we ended up sharing another cantaloupe cobbler since that's a drink we've never seen before. For food, we shared the cesare salad and the famous lasagna. The cesare salad was really good with the absolute perfect amount of Parmesan cheese. We really enjoyed it but next time we come we'd try other things. Now for the lasagna. It was absolutely incredible. As we were eating it, we were joking of ordering another one just after our first bite. It was the best lasagna we've ever had and I've had some pretty great lasagna before. For dessert, we shared the vanilla and cantaloupe swirl ice cream. It was amazing. The cantaloupe was so different and just such a great idea especially for the summer. They also brought out a mini chocolate mouse cake with a candle in it and a card for our anniversary. I'm not much for cake but this was light and decadent. It was a very sweet thing for the restaurant to do. We cannot wait for our next time back in DC to come back here. It is a must try.
