    When I came in, all I know was that I wanted a hot sandwich so my options were limited. I landed on the small Mama T's Meatball Sub which came with three meatballs and Provolone cheese. We waited about 20 minutes for the sandwiches so they suggested we call by phone next time if we didn't want a long wait. The meatballs were huge, which made it a pretty filling sandwich despite the small size. The bread was also good so the only thing that could've made it better was another slice of cheese to cover the entire top. There's no indoor seating so it's to-go orders only. It's a small mom-and-pop shop, and you can tell they're working hard to keep the business going so I was happy to support.

    Very nice business owners, and the sandwich is packed with a lot of meat. Can't wait for you guys to try it.

    Excellent homemade meatballs and authentic Italian desserts. Highly recommend this place any day of the week. Wednesday special after 4pm, spaghetti meatballs and garlic bread for $10.99.

    Delicious tiramisu!

Staff was polite and they are located in a plaza with plenty of parking for convenience. I probably won't come back due to what felt like an inconsistency with the pricing and quantity/quality. I would pay 10 dollars max for what I received, not $17. I don't think the problem with the sandwich was the quality of the meat when I referred to quality I meant more in the care it takes to assemble and produce a balanced bite. When I bit into the sandwich, it tasted more like a salad than a sub. The proportions were off. They also have pasta and pizza so maybe those are better choices to check out on your visit.

If you're looking for some of the best eats you've ever had ... I literally drive all the way from the SFV to come to this place when I'm craving a delicious sandwich and the best chocolate chip cookie you can buy. Italian dishes made fresh and even to go options galore. It's like a boutique deli grocery store. Parking: small free parking lot on site ( literally only 4 spaces) + handicap parking. There is a lot across the street you can park at as well. Ambiance: Rustic, quaint, casual. But cute enough to have a date at as there is limited seating. Trust me, if your date likes some good Seating: seat yourself. small tables though, up to 4 maybe 6 people max. And cute two people tables for a sweet date. Food: Prosciutto de Parma with pesto mayo is my go to. I even ask for them to today it because I like the miserable melted. I'll be honest and say I don't like cheese... Except the mozzarella they have here, it's exquisite. Secret ingredient is there pesto mayo. It elevated an already tasty sandwich to an incredibly delectable masterpiece with the prosciutto slightly toasted. Turkey Sandwich: hearty and so fresh. My husband loves this. Pick up hair pink sauce and some fresh pasta too! This place has so many options to try out! Chocolate chip cookie: do not leave this place without trying their cookie.

I had a wonderful phone conversation with the owner Ben who personally took my order. We agreed upon a date and time two weeks out since I was going to be out of town for the 4th of July week. They called while I was out of town to confirm the date and time (between 10-11 am) which was great! When I arrived to the store with my son around 11:15 because of the heavy traffic on 91W I went to the counter and was told by a young female that I needed to go to the pay counter. She was curt and not helpful. There was only three people ahead of me so no problem. But the elder gentleman in front of me, who was being helped by the young man who would eventually help me, took an exceptionally long time with his order. I'm just here to pay and pick up. No problem, I'll be patient and keep waiting. Two other costumers are helped by the female counter person and finally the elder customer leaves with his order and I'm next. The young male counter person then waits for me to initiate the conversation and doesn't greet me with a smile or hello or how can I help. I brush it off. I tell him I'm here to pick up my order, a whole pig and give him my last name. He fumbles around a few seconds and then asks how to spell my name and eventually finds my ticket order and asks what time. The time is written at the top of the ticket he failed to notice. I pay for the order. He mutters someone will be out with my order and disappears. No thank you, no attentiveness like he gave the older gentleman in front of me. Again, I've been in my car with my son for over two hours from San Diego in traffic and this fella couldn't give me five minutes of courtesy. I'm waiting, and waiting and waiting while others eventually come into the store and are being helped and leaving. The older female worker at the pay counter is still there helping customers while the younger female at the deli counter is now apparently on a break and making herself lunch. She stops momentarily when a customer comes in for deli service. I'm still waiting by the counter to make sure I'm at least acknowledged but I don't see the young male counter worker who apparently left for lunch since it's now noon. The older female worker can probably see on my face that I'm not happy and says to me he's working on my order. He? Who's he? I am just here to pay and pick order between 10-11. How much time and trouble could it be to put this order together which was made two weeks prior? A different gentlemen finally arrives with three boxes and two large paper bags that comprise my order. On the way out the older female worker says goodbye and was very courteous. At this point I'm pretty upset because this is not a large haul and this order could've easily been second and not 45 minutes! I arrive home after the two hour drive back home to SD and looking forward to the meat, especially the sausages and putting it into the freezer which I cleared out in preparation for the meat. My older son is home to help. As we are sorting and placing the meat I notice that there are no sausages. It's just sausage meat but no links. I guess it's my fault for assuming and not specifying sausage links on at peat some of the order. It was a huge letdown. I had array went out to purchase rolls and buns for a bbq this weekend and to have friends and family over. Oh well. You live and you learn. At least the bacon was great.
