I eagerly opened it and bit into it, but the bread was a bit hard and not the same as it used to be. The sub really had little flavor. There was shredded lettuce on it, which I don't recall being used years ago and there wasn't enough oil on it so it was kind of dry and tasteless. The woman who made it was very nice and she asked what I wanted on it and I said everything. Including hots? Yes! But there were no hots on it. Jeez. I know things change, but this really couldn't compare at all to the delicious subs they used to make. Maybe they aren't able to get the same bread anymore?

The sauce is perfect, and the crust is cooked to perfection. The owner Tony was really kind and made great recommendations. As for the spot itself it's right on the main drag with a great view of Boston, and awesome outdoor seating when it's warm out. On another note I'm surprised by the Portnoy Rating, I thought the pizza was far better than the score he gave. I'm looking forward to getting Volo again really soon!

Very unique flavor sauce. Great flavor in the crust that was my favorite part. High quality cheese being used here. It is a smaller place. It will probably be hit or miss for you. You will have to try it your self to see. A bit higher on the pricer side. Nice presentation. Will update if I try in the future. I doubt I will sample this one again

What I didn't know was it just means she'll throw together whatever is leftover in the pot from yesterday and heat it up for you. The food was 90% awful, not fresh, reheated leftovers. Then we were leaving, no desert thanks. She insisted we have desert, cannolis. We tho if he they were comp lol, but when the bill came...there is no bill! She just gives you the total lol. Pretty sure we paid for desert and the awful food. I don't know how this is an over 4 stars.

No parking, no rest rooms, and nowhere to sit and eat, but I was impressed by the friendliness of the staff and the speed by which they made the sandwich. -- Italian Sandwich: A heavy beast of a sandwich with a lengthy ciabatta roll stuffed with sopressata, salami, capicola, hot capicola, mortadella with pistachios, asiago cheese, arugula, tomato, onion, seasoned oil, pickles, and hot peppers. --- All of the flavors came through and the meats seemed of very high-quality. The pickles were more noticeable than the hots, but easy to adjust next time. The cheese tasted better as it went along, probably getting closer to room temperature where it really shines. --- The flavors and textures were all impressive with the one exception of the ciabatta-- a little on the firm side, but that could be symptomatic of my late Sunday visit. I give them a pass for that and applaud this VERY good sandwich. --- Incredible value! This had to weigh at least 3 pounds and could easily have fed two people, and for only slightly more than a McDonald's "value" meal. Normally, I would wait and try it again before reviewing, but the city of Lynn isn't easy for me to get to, so now it is and it's an easy 4. The only things holding them back from a 5 are the lack of parking, seating, and toilet.

I ordered the #5 which consisted of three slices of French toast, sausage and bacon, potatoes, and a coffee. My wife ordered the veggie omelet with sourdough toast, and coffee.
