This place fucks. Phenomenal sandwiches. Phenomenal cannolis. It's one of those spots that are exactly what you need downtown. Thank you - Mitch 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

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

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

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

Fantastic Italian deli. The fresh bread made the whole sandwich and the Great Lakes chips were the perfect side. $19 for a meal this good is well worth it. 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 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

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

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

Very friendly and informative staff. I got the turkey Bella sandwich and it was amazing.

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

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

You want to talk about a GREAT place!!! Today the town of Detroit is rockin with the Tigers in the playoffs game about to start and the Red Wings home opener. I wanted a sandwich from this place, because their food is fantastic! Parking was outrageous because of the two important games going on. I called to order, and because I couldn't find parking Corey ran the sandwich out to me and said "don't worry, on the house this time" Now that's excellent over and above fantastic customer care and service!!! And let me repeat this, the food here is fantastic!!! Best sandwiches in Detroit!!! read more

Great sandwiches, the best I've had in a long time. Came in for a breakfast sandwich with seven others, they whipped it up quick. Absolutely fantastic, had to order a second sandwich to take home. Got the Reuben and the Papa Georgia - highly recommend! Brandon the GM is a great guy - between taking and making our orders he popped out to sit with us and chat for a bit. 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

The only nice thing I can say about this place is the staff was friendly, but other than that, it was an inedible disappointment. The place was quite dirty, there were crumbs, used napkins, and food scraps all over the disarrayed tables, chairs, and floor. There was a bunch of empty boxes piled up in the middle of the room for some reason. The place wasn't very busy for lunch time on a Friday, which should have been my first clue, but the reviews seemed promising. Suffice it to say, Yelp steered me wrong this time. Despite my misgivings, I ordered some sandwiches to go as I was already there. But as I was waiting for them, I observed severed things that made me what to leave immediately. I don't like that you can't see what the staff is doing behind this tall counter, but I did see that one of the workers was slicing lettuce on a meat slicer to shred it, I assume, but he didn't bother to wash the lettuce before or after slicing, even though there was a sink right there. They came out of the produce bags, and right onto the slicer, and into a pretty tarnished, dingy looking metal hotel pan. I tried to convince myself he was going to wash the lettuce after shredding, but then he just sliced some deli meat on the same slicer right after, so what was the difference at the point? Then one of workers mentioned something about a problem with the bathroom, like someone stunk it up, and then another worker asked yet a third worker (the guy slicing the unwashed lettuce) if he bought the air freshener for the bathroom. And as appetizing as all that bathroom talk is, I knew as soon as they handed me those sandwiches, I was walking around the corner and tossing them in a garbage can. So I didn't eat a single bite of the food, nor would I ever go back. I feel bad leaving one star reviews, and I rarely do, but this one cannot be helped. I do not recommend. I'm read more

Food is great! But they HAVE to get the ventilation figured out as you leave smelling like an oil fryer. I noticed it's getting worse each time I go and it's to a point where I'll stop going unless I do take out only. read more
