    Prosciutto #7
    Andrea B.

    Lately, I feel like they have really changed from when they opened. A bunch of sandwiches have now been discontinued, the bread has changed on a few of the sandwiches, and the amount of meat has been cut down in some too. I understand a lot of things change once a restaurant becomes established but for an expensive sandwich, these changes are decreasing the quality. The chicken parm used to be a huge amount of chicken, now it's down to maybe some chicken finger looking chicken that if you're lucky, the cheese is melted. Half the time the cheese isn't anymore and the sauce is cold. The personal touch we used to have when you went in is also gone now. Maybe we will try it again some time down the road, but now when all our favorites have now been changed.

    Such a great spot in Farmington Hills!! My boyfriend and I were in town and were looking for something quick like a sandwich spot. The inside is really cute with a lot of seating. The servers were all very friendly. We came on a random weekday around 2pm, and we were served very quickly. He got a meatball sub and I got the prosciutto panino. I thought it was really delicious. The fig jam was a great touch. I didn't try my boyfriend's, but he said that it was really good and that he'd order it again. Definitely recommend this spot and these sandwiches!!

    Really good selection of sandwiches. The tomato soup was amazing! I got the Piacenza which was good. I do wish they had put a little more of the aoli and giardiniera on it because it was a bit dry. I found the meat to arugula ratio to be a little off. They put way more arugula in it than what is pictured on their website. The place is nice and clean with plenty of spots to sit. Overall I'd go back again because I do like the unique options they have, but I do wish they gave a little more meat than greens. I've been to the one in Detroit which is where I first tried the prosciutto panino which was so good and memorable.

    Now this place is great! We tried it's tonight for the first time and we were impressed! The focaccia bread is clearly homemade, it was fluffy and delicious! The meats and cheeses were unique and fresh! Kind of pricey for sandwiches but I guess that's how things are these days! We will definitely be back

    Absolutely incredible sandwiches and friendly staff! I ordered 3 sandwiches to go and they were ready in no time. Next time I wouldn't mind having lunch inside, the space is clean and bright! I had the piacenza - capicola, arugula, provolone, giardiniera, house garlic & herb aioli. Absolutely delicious and very spicy!

    Excellent sandwich. Key is their freshness, especially their focaccia bread . It is soft to touch but have a chew to it. Tried their special menu today. Chicken culet, herb aioli, roasted red pepper and lots of arugula. Yum.

    Papa Georgio. Delish!

    Lunch with friends was extra special with a visit to la Pechora nera. I really enjoyed my sandwich with a side of the red cabbage slaw. The menu is great, with fresh ingredients and excellent bread. They had brunch/ breakfast items as well with specials, soups and salads to keep things interesting. I was impressed with their dessert options as well, especially freshly filled cannolis. Yum! Great spot!

    I'm shocked we haven't been here until today. The restaurant was very clean and the people working were very nice and helpful. We ordered the Italiano and the Prosciutto panini and both were delicious. We will definitely be back!

    The Italiano is filled with turkey, ham, salami, capicola, mortadella, and provolone. Most important is the pickles!

    It was well past lunchtime, so I was starving when I arrived at this relatively newer location in downtown Farmington. Inside several customers were waiting for their orders, while I reviewed the blackboard menu by the register. So many choices: sandwiches, salads, and a few soups. Space was tight, even after I moved to the dining area to wait for my order. I liked the overall restaurant aesthetics: white subway tiles and black wainscoting, leather sofa lounge seating, black aluminum chairs, and industrial tables. The decor was very much in keeping with the "black sheep" theme. I had the Italiano, a crusty roll loaded with a number of deli slices, shredded lettuce, lots of sour pickle slices, and Italian dressing. Delicious. I was intrigued by the Muffaletta. It is something I always order when I see it on menus. Here, it is made with ham, capicola, salami, and cheese on a grilled ciabatta, not a sesame roll. A giardiniera of pickled vegetables balances out the taste profile of the sandwich. The chocolate chunk cookie was okay - a bit dry for my taste. Incidentally, I heard a lot of orders for chicken parm - I'll have to try that the next time I'm here. Service was friendly but much, much slower than expected. And the tables were not cleared/cleaned regularly. Ample parking is available behind the restaurant.

    I have been wanting to try this for a while now!!! Got the prosciutto panino on their foccacia.... I've never had another Sammy like it! The ricotta & fig jam made it so yummy. First time in downtown Farmington as well, such a cute area. Parking was busy for lunch but was able to find a spot eventually. Their house Italian dressing is YUM too!!

    spicy muffuletta
    Josie V.

    The sandwiches here are so insanely good. I've tried a few but my favorites are the spicy muffuletta and the corn beef one they have! The breakfast sandwiches are pretty good too if you can get them during their serving hours! The restaurant itself is very clean and tidy and the staff is always nice!

    I've eaten their sandwiches many times, tried at least 15 different menu items and everything has been great. They also have great service.

    Came for Mother's Day brunch. It was really busy. And while it was a slightly chilly day, we…read moredecided to eat outside so we wouldn't have to wait an hour. The only issue is, I'm guessing the kitchen was backed up and the servers were a bit overwhelmed. We ended up having an enjoyable meal, and the food itself was great as always. And eventually someone who was not technically our server took care of us and did an excellent job. I shared eggs and challah french toast with my daughter and both were great. The latte (ehhh) ... Maybe just get regular coffee. I was in the mood but they don't do almond milk in it and it was just OK. So I wouldn't get that again here.

    Sometimes there's nothing more satisfying than thinly-sliced meat piled high on a sturdy onion…read moreroll. That's why I've had Stage Deli on my to-go list for years. I finally made it on a free morning, just in time for an early lunch. On the day of my visit, it was cold and wet, so outdoor dining was out of the question. Just inside is a large deli counter with items available for take-out. Beyond that was a large and stylish dining room, where diners enjoyed the last of their breakfasts. I was a smidge earlier than everyone else for lunch; the dining room filled up soon afterwards. I loved the huge menu - there were so many options for soups, salads (Maurice, Greek, and Cobb, to name a few), sandwiches (Reuben's, triple deckers, and even vegetarian), burgers and hot dogs, breakfasts (omelettes, waffles, and French toast), and deli classics. I opted for the Victor Special, extra cut, which included larger portions of both corned beef and pastrami, coleslaw, Swiss cheese, and Russian dressing. The thinly-sliced meat was indeed piled high at the center. For my side, I had wanted the onion rings, but they were already sold out! Instead, I went with the hash browns; they were crispy with a mashed potato-like interior. In retrospect, I should have tried some of the foods I've enjoyed from my hometown: knishes, blintzes, latkes; I'm now dreaming of meals I've had in my past. Service was fine at first, but my server got busy elsewhere, and her coworkers pitched in.

My MIL and I were out and decided to pick up lunch for ourselves and my husband, for takeout, and he suggested Potbelly. I used to love the pizza sub at Potbelly but since I haven't had a ton of deli meats in the past nine months (when I was pregnant), I decided to try the Italian sub. My MIL got the avocado turkey, I think, and my husband wanted The Wreck sandwich. I compare all deli sandwiches to Jersey Mike's - their Italian sandwich is fabulous - and it wasn't as good as theirs, however it was cheaper ($9.99, vs. $12.99+ for JM's) and had more of a zesty taste, which I liked. The only thing I added on mine was pickles, next time I'd maybe add tomato and a few other things ... I think they also had a garlic aioli option, which sounded good. $30 for three people for lunch isn't bad, so I'd come back to this location. Service was fast and friendly, as well.

Overall, it was an OK place to eat.
