I didn't linger a lot inside, but they have an OK variety of food and a deli if you need lunch or to go food. Prices - a bit high. Grabbed a few items for the room since our hotel was bare bones. I wish they'd stay open passed 8 pm. Just a suggestion since there are many hotels around, they might get customers later, tourists like myself in need of getting a few things on the way back. That would be very convenient.

My gf and I decided to try it out and we were pleasantly surprised by how good the sandwich was. We got the Super deluxe sandwich to go and it was ready within 5-10 minutes. Staff were kind and the inside of the store sells authentic Italian groceries from pastas to Olive Oils to deli meats. They have some small tables inside for seating but we decided to take it to go. We were really happy with how yummy it was, it tasted fresh and we really enjoyed it. I like the deli meat and the bread was fresh. Im happy to have tried out the spot and I would definitely swing by again if the opportunities presents itself.

My visit to Via Maestra 42 came way with mixed feelings. There were definitely aspects of the…read moreexperience that I enjoyed, but a few issues with the food prevented the meal from living up to its potential. For my entree, I ordered the Costolette d'Angello alla Griglia, the grilled lamb chops served with vegetables and mashed potatoes. The lamb was okay, but it arrived more warm than hot and the accompanying mashed potatoes were a disappointment. They arrived noticeably cold in the center, giving the impression that they had been reheated rather than freshly prepared. Unfortunately, those temperature inconsistencies distracted from the dish and even made me question whether everything had been plated and served at its best. The lamb chops were okay overall, but the execution left something to be desired. I also tried the Linguine con Vongole (clam pasta). The flavors were fine and the dish was enjoyable enough, but diners should be aware that there were some broken shell fragments and bits of sand mixed in with the clams. While that can occasionally happen with shellfish dishes, it was noticeable enough that I found myself eating a little more cautiously than I would have liked. One aspect of the restaurant that stood out was the atmosphere. The environment has a distinctive character and personality that makes it feel different from many of the other dining options in SB. It certainly adds to the overall experience. The service was somewhat slow during my visit, though the staff remained friendly and courteous throughout the evening. Overall, this place offered an interesting atmosphere and friendly service, but the food execution felt inconsistent. Between the warm lamb, cold mashed potatoes, and shell fragments in the linguine, the meal didn't quite meet expectations. There's potential here, but a little more attention to detail in the kitchen would go a long way.

After paying $66 the clerk asked me if I wanted to pay cash or card for the drinks. Kudos to him, I was so taken off guard by the 3.5% card fee that I didn't do the math to realize that it's only $2.10 I should have been charged for the $60 out. I always assumed cash back meant you get cash back with your purchase. I assumed the $66 included the drinks. After arguing with the clerk I left without the drinks.

I feel like the guy at the register was nice, he wasn't really informative, it was a bit more " you can try this, or you can try that" when someone says it's their first time ask what they like, I always give that opportunity for them to share their opinion by asking what do you like and by saying it's my first time it gives them the opportunity to earn a tip from me not just being entitled for one when I'm ordering my food. The place inside, very old-school deli Field, you can sit at the bar you can sit outside or you can sit inside. It's very very nice. I really like that classic feel a bit which is really cool. My sandwich: my sandwich was I would say maybe a solid 6 1/2 to a seven. It's something that has to be dipped, but you normally aren't going to dip something that has avocado on it. But the dip is what added flavor to the meat, kind of. I really love the bread, the bread is surprisingly soft. When you get a big bite like that and the bread just kind of melts in your mouth that I do have to say it was very impressive. I forget the name of my wife's sandwich, but she absolutely loved it and said it was exactly what she wanted, very, very simple, nothing too complicated and so she was very happy Overall, I've had a lot of sandwiches, I am a major sandwich person and so I am going to be a little bit more critical when it comes to having a menu that has a bunch of items with flavor because that is what's gonna win me over. Would we go back to here yes, would we come back here before trying somewhere else first that's a little bit up in the air. Overall, I definitely still recommend giving this place a try.
