Really solid sandwich spot, large portions served on delicious fresh focaccia. The focaccia had the perfect texture, slightly crispy outside with a soft spongy inside. We tried the spicy chicken caesar and the reuben angelo (made it the angelina by swapping turkey for the corned beef). The spicy chicken caesar was very tasty but I loved the angelina. So much flavor and texture in one sandwich. My only minor complaint was that the thousand island dressing needed to be better spread out, but who cares when the sandwich is this good? I would definitely eat both sandwiches again and go back to try the rest of their menu. We ordered online and it was ready when we came to pick it up. The staff was friendly and they have plenty of people working (one at the register and 3 making sandwiches). They have a few tables (the space isn't that large) as well as a single bathroom. read more

I wanted to give this place a 5. Badly. Because the flavors popped and were so good. I had the Turkey Bella. What a delight. Everything was so good. The combination of the sandwich was amazing. But one thing held this back... the focaccia was dry and fell apart. Wash bite I took, small pieces fell off (no not crumbs haha). This took away from the enjoyment of such a great sandwich. The bread is so important. And dry bread can ruin it. Alas I will still try this place again when I am in town. Because everything else was great. Hoping I got them on a bad day. read more

This is my second time at this location and 5th time at a pecora nera. I hate to give this review because all my other experiences have been amazing. However, we ordered online through the app and the sandwiches were no where near the quality my friend and I have come to know from these restaurants. We got the italiano and prosciutto panino. We asked for garlic aioli and they forgot it. The sandwiches were also so small, they had much less toppings than we were used to. I've gotten these sandwiches before and the differences are insane. The italiano had very few toppings and was dry. The prosciutto panino was similar with very few toppings. However, the cannoli was delicious. I added the photos from my last experience at this location last year. You can tell the difference in the amount of toppings, these are the exact same sandwiches from the same location. Two very different experiences. read more

Tried this catered at a work event and it was the best veggie sandwich I've had in a long time! There was delicious cheese and roasted red peppers. I can't wait to come in and have it again! The fact that it was premade and catered and stil that good was -impressive . Also, the bread is as good as it looks read more

We had been looking for something light to eat. We checked the reviews of several local sandwich shops. This one had great reviews. We decided on the Corned Beef & Red Cabbage Sub...! We also got a couple of the Chocolate Cannolis. Everything was absolutely delicious. The gentleman who made our sandwich was very helpful and thoughtful. And the lady was also very kind and helpful as well. Our visit to Detroit closed with yet another great experience. read more

La Pecora Nera - Detroit - This was hanging in the restaurant. I actually love the name of the restaurant. Which in Italian means The Black Sheep ! - Delis Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

Stopped in for lunch with some friends. Smallish interior but was not busy when we came so we found a table right away. You order at the counter. Staff was very friendly and said I should order the reuben over the prosciutto (I'll be back to try the prosciutto). Italian music was playing as well which we all enjoyed. The reuben was so close to being a top tier sandwich for me. The taste was great. The pickles worked really well and the meat was high quality (no fatty pieces). The sandwich could have used more meat though; was a bit lacking for the price. AdditionLy, while the bread had really nice flavor, it was like half heated so not sure what the deal with that was. Overall, a delicious sandwich that could be better with a few tweaks. Also got the chocolate chip cookie. S tier cookie; no notes. Final note: one of the employees left and then came back with food from the neighboring restaurant. Respected that a fair amount. read more

Looooved this sandwich shop! No frills, order at the counter, every single item on the menu looked amazing, staff were friendly, and food was awesome. I had the spicy chicken Caesar sandwich and it was as good as it looked. Husband enjoyed the muffuletta. No nuts are used in the restaurant so great option for allergies as well. read more

Big sandwichs, good mayo, hot bread. I eat 2x a day and it got me through 1.5 meals. Mayo + lettuce always = . I got the Turkey Bella and even though i don't like bacon, it was still good. Just enough bacon to give a crunch and a savory flavor. Heads up, not a place if you want actual Italian style sandwiches, it is quintessentially American but on focaccia bread. Patient staff, doesn't take too long to get your food. Cute little shop. read more

I like their Farmington location so I came here and had lunch while I was in the area. It is different. Same ingredient, same menu but my sandwich is hastily made. Herb aoli is not evenly spread. Bacon was one strip. Also don't get the coffee either. $4 for a little cup. If u work nearby or live nearby. This is still a good place to get a sandwich read more

I got a Papa Georgio sandwich and tomato soup delivered for lunch and the flavors were great! The focaccia bread tastes fresh and soft with a crispier outer edge. The sandwich toppings are delicious, the caramelized onions and pesto really made the sandwich. Add the balsamic! I was disappointed that most of the toppings were in the center of the sandwich and gone within the first few bites, leaving the outer edge of the sandwich with little to no toppings, just bread. Thankfully I got soup, so I was able to dip the bread. They also did not cut the sandwich in half, not sure if that's how they do it there, but it's quite large so I cut it myself. The soup is extremely flavorful and garlicky - yum! Overall I would definitely eat here again. Since my food was delivered I can't speak on service or ambiance. read more

Love La Pecora Nera! Staff is super friendly, delivery for our catering was right on time, and food was fresh and delicious. Everything smelled so good upon arrival to the office. I love that the sandwiches were wrapped and labeled with the numbers - I could just print out the menu so people could reference which sandwich to choose. The meats, cheeses, dressings and veggies were very fresh, and the grilled sandwiches were still warm. I love the sundried tomatoes on the antipasti salad, and the guac for the chicken salad was freshly made. With a good variety of different sandwiches, everyone got to have something that they like, and they have 2 vegetarian options. You could also keep it easy and order all the same sandwiches. Will for sure make this a frequent catering choice. read more

Overall so cute in here!!! Outdoor space covered, chairs out on the sidewalk where the city trees provide some shade. Indoor seating available. The music is old school and I was greeted with a smile and when my food was ready, I am excited to eat; as it was made with love. The service was outstanding. I got the Michelangelo! It's a hot Sammy. Haven't tried it yet but I'll update. Priced decent. Offers breakfast, lunch and sides. I've posted the menu. Enjoy and give this place a try, Walking or street parking. No reservation needed. read more

The Sandwiches here are amazing. I had the Papa G and it was full of flavor. I had them add some roast beef, but god i wish they would have pastrami for sandwiches. Idk if they do sandwiches of the week, but if they ever do a Pastrami sandwich i will be pack for multiple to freeze and save read more

I attempted to order via the Toast app. I walked to the restaurant,my order was never received by the restaurant. I showed the manager my order on the app and there was no questioning or denying or conversation. My delicious salad was made with care and kindness. What a delightful atmosphere and energy. Explains why the food tasted fresh and delicious Good energy matters! And they have it..Bravo read more

I tried the mortadella and ricotta sandwich. It was fantastic! The quality and freshness was top notch. A few dollars more than "some other" places close by, but well worth every dime. I'll definitely order again. I definitely recommend. read more

What a charming restaurant! The French music, decor and ambiance makes you feel like you are on vacation. This place is a GEM! The food was outstanding!! We ordered the MBLTA. Best one I have ever had. They cook the bacon fresh when you pace the order. It was crisp and tender. Everything was so fresh especially the bread. We also ordered the chicken Ceasar salad. I prefer romaine for a Ceasar salad, but it was still delicious. The service was awesome! It was busy, but we only waited no longer than 5 minutes for our food. They really are passionate about their food and service. We will definitely be back to try every other delight in this establishment!! You have to try this place!!! read more

I had Italiano and my coworker had Roasted Beef. We switched half since the subs came out cut in half. Honestly, I was recommended Italiano by the cashier. It was good but Roasted Beef was super delicious. The meat was not dry at all and it was rare. Very soft. Next time I am here, definitely will get Roast Beef. But, the bread was really delicious, not the soft kind of baguette, but more on the hard side. read more

I found this spot on Yelp for a quick lunch before heading back home from Detroit. Unfortunately, I was hoping for better. La Pecora Nera was like a less fancy Jimmy John's. I ordered the Italiano to split with Nate, and honestly, Jimmy John's Italian is better. This sandwich has Genoa salami, ham off the bone, turkey breast, mortadella, spicy capicola, provolone, lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, and house Italian dressing. With those kinds of toppings I'd expect a super flavorful, savory sandwich. Somehow it really didn't have much flavor at all. It was pretty disappointing because I always love a good Italian sandwich. At $12+ I expected it to be pretty tasty. I also got a cup of the cream of mushroom soup, which tasted like hot half and half, with zero seasoning. It definitely needed a lot more salt. I could only eat a couple spoonfuls and had to toss it. The guys working were nice. There's a little outdoor space in front with a couple of tables and a little rail where we stood and shared our food. We loved the Uglies - great chips! The clean bathroom was appreciated. read more

So I went in this morning & got out of bed early just to get the breakfast reuben. When I ordered it the dude working smirked and said they aren't serving breakfast. I told him the website said they were serving till 11 & he said the owner said that he didn't have to serve breakfast if he didn't want to & clearly he didn't! Probably won't return. I don't wanna go order something again & them be like eh I don't feel like it? LMFAOO like how is that even a thing. Update the website atleast & say breakfast is optional if my worker feels like it read more

Thanks for the awesome meal! read more

This is a cute deli in downtown Detroit. A decent option for lunch if you are a worker in the area. There is both indoor and outdoor seating. The service was good. My turkey sub was fine but overpriced. It came with lettuce, provolone, and garlic and herb aioli. I replaced tomatoes with cucumber. The taste was a little plain. I'm sure the meat here is gourmet which accounts for the high prices, but I would not pay $9.00 for this sub again. read more
