Pino's is absolutely amazing and the ingredients are of the highest quality!! I have now tried the Tuscan and Springtime sandwiches and will definitely be back! Service was great. The shop is an absolute gem of Los Feliz. It is worth trying and if you like an Italian sandwich this is the real deal and you will not be disappointed. read more

10-Stars!!! This place was incredible. Highly recommended!!! One of the owners was there greeting customers, making some of the sandwiches, and giving out small samples of freshly sliced meats. Their original location (still open) is in Florence Italy. If you're looking for super high quality ingredients, delicious meats cheeses and veggies, served with 100% guaranteed satisfaction... this is a must stop. Everything in the store from the sandwich ingredients to the chips, drinks, and ice creams were sourced from vendors specializing in authentic Italian companies. Thank you to all the other helpers who rated this place, it would have been hard to find it without them. It's located on a busy section of other small restaurants and shops. Look for the yellow arches. Street parking sucks but luckily they have a hidden parking lot in the back with a back entrance. They had plenty of small tables inside, and some more outside on their patio or in the sidewalk. They also had some swag for sale and a few Italian products. read more

Probably the best sandwich place in LA. Look at my yelp. I eat at hundreds of restaurants. This place....it's stupid good. The bread is made fresh. It's toasted in stages. The toppings are single batch prepared. The meats are super high level and sliced to order. You can tell this place was inspired and made by a human that has literally eaten thousands of sandwiches. This place's isn't New York good, its freaking sandwich in Italy good. Get the Ganzo and thank me later. The cheese and caramelization of the onions alongside the rich fatty prosciutto all culminate on the bread. It's good size. Close to $20. You'll want more but you'll be full. I've also had the Los Feliz. It was a seasonal selection. Very good but not as good as the Ganzo. Los Feliz had eggplant and smoked prosciutto which is much more akin to ham than regular prosciutto. Hope that info helps. The service is fine. Just some dudes slicing meat and making Sammy's. They aren't all manic and happy like ice cream workers lol they come across as slightly annoyed due to everyone telling them how good it is. Trust me. They know. Ambiance is cool. Tiny tables. Good AC. Napkins and bathrooms available. read more

Stopped by Pino's Sandwich Lunch Break for a quick lunch and was impressed by both the food and the service. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and made the ordering process easy. Parking can be a bit tricky depending on the time of day, but there's a lot in the back with adequate space. Seating is limited with only a few small tables available, making it more of a grab-and-go spot but still a good place to hang out for an extended meal. The food was the highlight of the visit. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. If you're looking for a solid sandwich shop with great customer service and delicious food, this place is worth checking out. read more

Wanted to try the viral schiacciata sandwich and found Pino's on Yelp. Boy did they not disappoint!!! Honestly the photos matched the quality. The food was insane! I got the Fiorentino with stracciatella instead of the truffle cream. My friend got the Ganzo. Both were delicious!! Though my friend preferred my sandwich and I preferred hers. The service was friendly and informative. They let me try the truffle cream before to make sure I'd like it (I didn't, but I don't like truffles so I expected that, hence swapping for stracciatella). They also have delicious Italian sodas. I got the Blood Orange soda and it was perfect. Their restaurant is a little small and has indoor and outdoor seating, but limited. There is free parking in the back too! Definitely recommend! read more

Found this sandwich shop after hiking to the Hollywood sign and checking out the Getty observatory. It was pretty good. The sandwiches were unique and they were huge. I had the Magic ZBD, while my wife had the Ghiotto and my daughter had the Tuscan. There is parking behind the shop. This place is worth checking out. The sandwiches are large enough to share. read more

This place has been sitting in my bookmarks forever and I finally made it over. Parking wasn't too bad. Meter spots out front, free parking in the back. I did notice valet signs and immediately thought, "please don't tell me I need valet parking for a sandwich" I was short on time and ordered takeout. Service was quick and everyone was nice. Tried the Ganzo. Pretty good sandwich, probably a 4 out of 5 for me. The caramelized onions added a nice sweet/salty thing. I liked it, but my brain kept wanting pear or fig / honey in there. Also would've loved a little arugula. One random thing I appreciated: the restroom was clean, smelled nice, and didn't require asking for the code a key attached to a giant object like some places do. There are tables inside and outside if you want to stay. Would I come back? Yes. There are a few sandwiches I still want to try, especially The Best. read more

Found this place when we were searching for a place to order food when we were in the area before we drove back to the valley. This is in the busy area of Los Feliz but the good news is they have parking in the back. We arrived a little after 4pm so it wasn't busy. The owner was there and another staff and they're baking their fresh bread. The place is clean and there is indoor and outdoor seating. I had my order to go and while waiting chatted with the owner, he gave me free water for my drive back to the valley and told me he tries to limit the mark up on his Italian products. I picked up the pistachio cookies as well. I ordered Fiorentino and Ghiotto and ate it at home so it travelled well. The bread wasn't soggy even after the drive, I had a few bites if the fioretino and it was sooo good love the pecorino cheese it gives jt a distinct flavor. My ghiotto sandwich has a completely different taste as the fiorentino - you can definitely taste the porchetta and sun dried tomatoes. The sandwich itself was a good size that I can share some of it with my other son. If you're into a more creamy cheesy sandwich choose the fiorentino. Highly recommend if you're into sandwiches (I am not but love a good Italian sandwich). read more

If you want to experience the best of Florentine sandwiches without having to fly to Pisa, Italy which is the closest airport to Florence, I suggest stoping into Pino's Sandwiches on Vermont Avenue I Las Feliz. Along with importing the finest meats and cheeses, and blending them with their oven fresh breads and fresh California produce Pino's has imported the art of Florentine sandwich making to their store. read more

We love this place! Everything was incredibly fresh, and with the Cyclospora outbreak going around right now, we really appreciated how fresh all of the vegetables were. It gave us extra peace of mind. No one got sick. The free parking behind the building and the convenient back entrance make picking up an order quick and hassle-free. Our favorite sandwich is the Los Feliz, and their pesto is amazing. We ordered a side for dipping our sandwiches. The customer service is friendly and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. Highly recommend, and we'll definitely be back very soon! read more

Pino's Sandwiches - Italian Near Me - Los Angeles, California

The utmost topic here is the customer service shines and is sprinkled over every sandwich. I ordered several sandwiches for a gathering, each sandwich was divided in three individually wrapped with names of each type in a sturdy box with sides of pesto and garlic sauces in separate containers. The parking lot was in the back and very convenient, the place was impeccable with a nice ambiance. I was greeted heartily by the owner Kev, he oversaw the transaction that went smoothly! The staff was busily at work. I ordered a side Italia sandwich for myself. I actually watched him personally slice the Bresaola, a testament to the freshness of the products. I wish them all best in their first venture in the U.S. from Firenze, I mentioned to Kev that I would make a point to visit Pino himself, who is the owner of the original one when I go back to my birthplace (Venezia).

Pino's will always have a special spot in my heart. When I studied abroad in Florence 12+ years ago, I stopped at Pino's literally every single day. Pino's not only made beautiful sandwiches, but Pino and his wife were both so incredibly welcoming, they made me feel at home. And that is exactly what Pino's partner out here in LA, Kev, does for the LA location. When I tell you I freaked out when I heard they were opening this LA location, I am not exaggerating. I am so happy I finally got a chance to try it. And more importantly, it lived up to my memories in Firenze. You can try any meats you want before ordering. And I know some people say $19 for a sandwich is a lot, but you get SO much sandwich. It doesn't look like it in the photos, but this is enough for 2 great sized lunches. I got the ghiotto and it was absolutely delicious. 10/10. Truly. This is the exact type of sandwich I want to eat over and over. The bread is perfect, pillowy with a good crunch on the outside. The meat the garlic and onions and tomato/pepper spread. Everything just works so well together. And it's served nice and warm. You order at the counter and then sit down and they bring you your sandwich. Everyone was kind. Kev came around and checked on everyone. Everyone should support this great shop. I can't wait to come back. Street parking can be rough but it looks like they have parking in the back. read more

Came to try their sandwiches with my husband and son last Saturday. Found them on social media few weeks back and we love Italian sandwiches so we had to try. The best part let's say was the bread. Crispy and a bit salty it was delicious. But overall sandwiches not worth the hype. We ordered the XO and the Tuscan. Both tasted ok, nothing I will go back for. I might try other sandwiches in the future just to give it another try if I'm in the area. When we walked in we were the only customers , cashier greeted us and walked away , we took the menus to see what they have. Let's just say Customer service was whatever, ,,,,,finding parking was very hard ... so I'm not sure of this location. Maybe for locals is great. They can just walk there. Indoor and outdoor seating is available. We took ours to go since we were going on a picnic nearby. read more

We were greeted upon entering, and the service was top-notch. We visited on a weekday morning, right after they opened, before the lunch rush. We were lucky enough that they offered, without us asking, to let us try any meat and cheese. We ended up trying the mortadella and porchetta; my wife liked the porchetta best. I wanted to order one of their bestsellers. They even let us try the different spreads. They dipped a piece of their focaccia bread in the garlic and pesto spreads so we could decide which one we liked best. My wife liked the garlic spread best, but we both liked them. They offered to let us have a little of each. I ordered the XO ($18.00), which comes with mortadella, stracciatella cheese, fresh tomatoes, and a choice of pesto or garlic sauce. They warmed up the focaccia for us and brought the sandwich to our table, which was nice, and they even cut it in half for us, without us asking, which was a nice touch. It was pretty good, but it didn't wow me, to be honest. The service was phenomenal. I've had better Italian sandwiches in LA. I wouldn't be in a rush to return, but I would be open to trying something different next time. read more

Yum! Yum! Yum! Both for carnivores and vegetarians alike. This place has been on my try list for a while. I went to see a movie set in Italy where the characters were eating delicious sandwiches and I remembered I had Pino's bookmarked. So after the show, we headed there. High marks for having a parking lot for customers! It's down an alley behind the shop. Walked in and got in line and the man, who was behind a meat slicer gave me a slice of meat to try. The taste was heavenly! Reviewed their menu of sandwiches (which out) and they all sounded good. I really don't think you can go wrong with whatever you choose. After ordering, we decided to eat there at the shop. I hope you like the color yellow, as the whole shop is yellow in flair. It immediately made me feel like I was somewhere else (which was a good thing). After a few minutes they brought us our sandwiches...which are quite big! Fresh bread, quality meats and great ingredients... my daughter and I couldn't help but both enjoyed our meat and vegetarian sandwiches! Best part is we took half home for lunch part 2! Very enjoyable sandwich. Loved that they had chips and a variety of drinks direct from Italy to choose from! Good eats indeed. read more

There is seating inside and outside I wanted some Fresh air sat outside. Customer service is great staff is attentive and acknowledge you once you come in.

Pino's Sandwiches - XO - Italian Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Sunday evening. A group of us decided on Italian food for dinner after a walking around town. The first place had a few too many reservations to take care of. We shrugged and decided to go somewhere comparatively less restricting. One of my friends found this place, so we walked over a few blocks towards Vermont. Around 6:30pm, we were the only patrons here, though in time others started coming to dine in or pick up their orders. A clean, light-yellow interior with a tall ceiling, the sandwich shop played a unique mix of Italian songs, like Matia Bazar's "Ti Sento", decorated with potted plants perched high on the walls as well as Christmas ribboned pines and framed photos, including those of the Pino and his family back in Florence. I ordered a Ghiotto and Yummy to share, having it cut into fours. Others in my group got The Best, Ganzo, and XO. My order took about 25 minutes to complete. The two guys behind the counter worked quietly. The Ghiotto was a savory, meaty delight with the toasty crunch of the schiacciata bread contrasted nicely with the flavors from the sundried tomatoes, smoked cheese, and onions. Next, I tried a piece of the XO and it was one refreshing bite after the other with the stracciatella cheese and fresh tomatoes. The Ganzo was the most savory one of all, though the prosciutto was slightly difficult to chew. My friend who ordered The Best managed to eat the whole thing. What a champ! Lastly, the Yummy was a super simple Nutella sandwich, though it somehow hit the spot. Overall, we were pretty impressed with this place and would definitely consider stopping by the neighborhood for more. read more

I truly don't understand the hype for this spot based off the two sandwiches I tried. I found the turkey option to be a bit bland and lacking flavor, and felt the same for the vegetarian option as well. Service was fine, nothing overly warm. Ambiance is very minimal with more of an order and leave vibe. All in all, this was just ok for me. read more

Sized and built for two, each sandwich is quite a packed meal in general, no matter what variety you choose. An extension of Pino's in Firenze, Italy. The menu is slightly trimmed from their home base, but all the key items are available here at this location. The ingredients used are genuine, and the sandwich construction is as close to Italy as you can get. The variety available is amazing. You really need to try several from their menu to really gauge things. Many of the sandwiches are pork, but who doesn't like Salami, Prosciutto Parma, and Mortadella. There is also one sandwich that even has truffles if that is your thing. All ingredients are made to maintain old traditions and deliver old-world tastes. Los Feliz has somewhat limited street parking. Pino's offers parking just behind their building, accessible by an alleyway just south of their storefront. Just take a second look between the buildings. The service is friendly and very engaging. Ask for a sample to taste if you are unsure while deciding. They are very accommodating. Indoor dining is available along with a small patio. Pricing is a tad high, but each sandwich can easily feed two. read more

I had been wanting to try Pino's for a while, and the day finally came! Their sandwiches always look amazing on social media, so I was excited to finally check them out. Parking was a bit of a challenge -- unless you pay for a public lot, it can still be tough to find a spot -- but we eventually made it. When we walked in, we were greeted right away, and there were a few people in line, which I took as a good sign. I ordered the Lady D, and while I really wanted to love it, the eggplant just didn't taste as fresh as I expected. The rest of the sandwich had potential, but that part threw it off for me. That said, I'm definitely willing to give Pino's another try because so many of their other sandwiches look delicious, and I've heard great things. I'm hopeful the next one will hit the spot! read more

First time and I wasn't disappointed. I got a recommendation from my brother. He said he'd eat here every day if he could. That focaccia bread will definitely keep me coming back. The DELICATO seems simple but the truffle gives it a flourish. The truffle was yummy and not over powering thankfully. The BRASCO is packed and heavy. The peppers and sundried tomato's were a nice fresh touch. read more

I'm a four-timer, so I think I can be objective. The sandos are very, very good. The bread is amazing. The vibe is great, the service is warm and inviting, and the whole thing just works. This place rocks. Fire. It's kind of everything I'm looking for in a sandwich shop: house-made bread, freshly shaved, high-quality cured meats, and almost a cartoonish amount of care put into crafting each sandwich... You can tell they truly care about what they do. And it shows. Give it a try. I'm glad I did. read more

Pino's Sandwiches - Springtime - Italian Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Pino's is an authentic Tuscan sandwich shop modelled after the popular Florence (Firenze) sandwiches that have taken the world by storm in the last couple years. This shop, the first opened in the US by the Florentine family, boasts imported Italian ingredients and authentic recipes. I stopped by with a few colleagues on a Friday for lunch and was very impressed. The sandwiches were as incredible as their reputation suggests. I got the "XO" ($18), a mordatella, stracciatella cheese, and fresh tomato concoction with pesto and garlic sauce atop a perfectly crispy, pressed schiacciata bread. The bread was the true star of the show here, but the sandwich really came together perfectly, bringing the contrasting crispness of the bread with the juicy tomatoes, richness of the cheese, and decadent, soft mordatella. My partners ordered the Fiorentino ($19) which I eyed with envy, a rich, savory masterpiece, while the Lady D ($16), a vegetarian special made me second-guess my typically carnivore calling. Truly, some of the best sandwiches we ever had. Service was friendly and the ambiance clean and austere, but this is not the focus here. It's all about the sandwich, and Pino's does not disappoint. High-end Italian sandwich presses, deli slicer, and ovens are on display. The sandwiches are expensive, but as other reviewers point out, they are very large, easily enough for two meals if you are merely peckish, and enough to keep you going all afternoon if you are starving. For the quality provided, the value is there. Los Feliz is lucky to have Pino's join its community. Unique, delectable, and authentic, you can't get better than Pino's. Certainly worth a visit.

You guys .. when I tell you these were the best sandwiches of my life. I'm not even exaggerating haha everything was so fresh and good. The cheese, the meat, the bread, the vegetables. Everything was sooooo good. And the service was phenomenal, everybody was super nice and helpful. They even offer to let you try the cheeses or meats so you can find what you like. They also allow you to build your own sandwiches if you don't like anything from the menu. Like I said they're super helpful and kind. They have seating inside too and everything looks very clean. If you're ever in Hollywood, you have to stop by and try this place! read more

Pino's Sandwiches - Italian Near Me - Los Angeles, California

It's a focaccia style bread so that already wins. Wait it's fresh, warm, and toasted? Why not? Wait... there's also a parking lot in back... in LOS FELIZ? Win. These are pretty big sandos, so while the price is up there you do get a good amount. Process is simple you step up to the line place your order, they make it, put it through panini press, and you're in flavorville. I've had a couple different sandwiches. So far, the salami one was the best followed by bresola. The Best was good, but didn't stack up compared to the bresola. I would also recommend trying their Italian coke. It reminds me of the best version of RC Cola. The interior does feature a couple of tables and there are a couple more in the patio area up front. read more

I have a friend who took a trip to Florence last year and came back raving about a sandwich shop. She loved it so much that she brought back two sandwiches, tucked into her suitcase. Ah well, I thought, next time I am in Florence ... right? Wrong! I was astonished to read the announcement that that very Florentine sandwich shop was coming to Los Angeles -- not NY, SF, or Chicago. And, would be in easily accessed Los Feliz. Gioia! We waited until the excitement of the new opening died down and made the pilgrimage this weekend. As usual, the witching hour is 3 pm, i.e., no lines, just a few people in front of us while we watched the crew assemble our gigantic sandwiches, three of them, two savory, one dessert. There are fifteen distinct choices, but, being vegetarians we could only choose from three, plus the Yummy, dessert sandwich. We got the Lady D and the Caprese (see the pictures). The friendly person taking care of us asked if we wanted the pesto or the garlic sauces on our sandwiches. We chose one of each. The wait time was modest, about ten minutes from coming in to walking out the door with a crisp white, red, and yellow bag, our three treasures warm and cozy inside. Once home, we were able to split them up and get a taste of all three. The verdict? One of us thought they were exceptional. One of us thought they were good, but maybe the difference was that the pesto sauce (on our Caprese) was far tastier than the garlic (on our Lady D). One of us pronounced the Yummy great, the other of us just liked it but wasn't wowed. That might be a statement on the attraction of Nutella, not a staple in the USA. The fillings on both savories were very good. The Caprese was better. One area where improvement might be warranted is in the bread, which is a disappointment. I love freshly made Italian bread. This bread tasted dry to me and as if it had been nuked (not likely). It is a form of focaccia and the sandwiches are jumbo paninos, in my estimation. What else led to the 4 stars only? The neighborhood is a bit quirky. I have been on this block when it is quiet and lovely, and other times when it seems littered and populated by challenging residents, to put it diplomatically. This weekend, it was the latter, so I will call that a wash. Also, since we didn't see the "parking in the rear" sign as we drove up, we parked too far away for my comfort walking around here. These are factors that are beyond the control of Pino's. They have made a fine start. Next time, we will park in the rear or just pull up in front to pick up an order placed beforehand, now that we know what we like. I am glad they are here, wish them buon auguri, and plan to return for an update. Ciao for niao. read more

Pino's sandwiches located in Los Feliz is the very first branch outside of Florence, Italy. I visited here only a few days after opening day. There were a few seating area inside and a few more in front of the store. My nephew and I came here during lunch time. As expected, it was busy but thanks to sufficient numbers of staff working that day, service was fast. Bread was continuously made and baked throughout the day. Meats and cheese are sliced only after it was ordered to preserve its freshness. We got: Italia - bresaola, parmigiano cheese, fresh tomatoes, lettuce, and pesto. Ganzo - prosciutto, stracciatella cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, caramelized onions The sandwiches are huge! It honestly an be shared by two people. We both didn't finish our sandwiches due to its massive size. They were both very good and delicious. I love that the bread was soft the way I like my bread. Ingredients were great quality. I could see myself coming back here very soon. Open daily. Free private parking available in the back of the store. There's restroom available inside the store. read more

8/28/2025 Pino's Sandwiches opened in LA! As soon as I heard about it, I knew I had to visit! They opened on August 23rd. Haven't been to their Florence location, so nothing to compare, but super excited to try it! Came here on a Monday, the following week after opening. DELICATO Schiacciata bread was crispy, crunchy and full of olive oil flavor. It was freshly made, as it was still warm. Bread has sea salt flakes baked into it, you get that saltiness that hits your tongue when you first bite into it. It was good bread! The brie cheese were thicker and bigger slices. Super Creamy. Ham was slightly salty, but on the sweeter side. Truffle cream was subtle and in the background. There weren't evenly distributed, so you tasted more on one side than the other. The brie cheese, ham and bread was the star. The Delicato was my fave of the three. If you want a more creamier and sweeter tasting sandwich, this one's for you. XO Right off, the schiacciata bread is the star of this sandwich. However, as I bit into the XO, I didn't think there was anything special about this sandwich. The fillings lacked and all you can really taste is the two breads than the fillings inside. It also tasted bland. Yes, you get the pesto, freshly sliced tomatoes, and mortadella. But mainly it seems like the bread is the star and the fillings are the side characters. I would have enjoyed it more as an open sandwich. I honestly would not recommend this sandwich unless you can get more fillings. The mortadella was delicious and there was barely any! For the price, it just ain't worth getting it. MAGIC ZBD I've read on Google reviews that Pino recommended Magic ZBD to a customer, as that was his favorite sandwich. Salty, spicy salami hits you at first bite. Then the crunchy bread. It is a large bread. About 8 inch sandwich. You cant get all the mozzarella, red bell peppers and onions in one bite, so you're missing components of the sandwich as you're biting into it. The bell pepper and onion was slightly sweetened to balance the salty and spicy salami. I felt it needed something vinegary to balance the whole sandwich. Something was amiss. Once again, I think this would be better as an open sandwich. Too much bread and little fillings. It was okay, but I wouldn't order it again. When I received the XO and Delicato, they were both mislabelled. Had to look at the sandwich descriptions again to see which one was which. One more thing, there were options for pesto or garlic sauce for the sandwiches I've ordered, but no one asked me which one I've wanted. They simply took my order. LINES Were not long. About 5-6 people in front of me. Came in after 12:00pm on a Monday. Some people have already ordered and waiting for their order and others sitting and eating. AMBIANCE / SEATS Not fancy, just a straight forward sandwich shop. I think it would have been nice if the shop looked more authentically like their shop in Florence. There were about 5-6 tables and chairs indoors. There are also about 4 small tables and seats outdoors as well. One unisex bathroom in the back, towards the back entrance towards the parking lot. WAIT TIMES I've read on Google reviews that for opening day, people waited 2 hours in line in the sweltering heat! If you saw the pictures, they were lined all the way outside in the streets past Melbourne Ave. I knew how bad those lines were gonna be, so I avoided the weekend like the plague and came here on a Monday at noon. You order at the "Order Here" desk and then you pay at a separate line with the front register. Wait times varied with each person's order. I waited about 30+ minutes from placing my order to receiving my order. Some people had to wait a little bit longer than others. It was still opening week, so I could see that the workers were still adjusting to the order system. They all did their best to keep the pace and knock out all the sandwiches. CUSTOMER SERVICE Good service. Everyone was professional. There was only one person at the front register. There was clear communication between everyone making sandwiches. They also communicate directly and clarify customer's orders as well. They asked me three times on what my sandwich was and if it was to go, which got a bit annoying by the third time, but I'd rather get my order right than wrong. PARKING There is parking in the back of the shop. You can park where the signs say 1739 Public House Parking. Starfish Sushi is right next to it. No towing, as this is their parking lot. Not huge, but not tiny. I did not know about the parking lot, so I parked a block away. The location has no street parking, so try to park at the shop first. There are so many places with tow away signs so be mindful when you park elsewhere. Given my whole experience, I am disappointed. I'm not sure what I was expecting. No doubt all the components separately were great, but not as a sandwich. Something was amiss. However, I am open to returning to try their other sandwiches. read more

We made a fun Sunday trip to the east side for these incredible sandwiches. A nice compact menu with the Pino traditional choices on the left and the LA specials on the right. We chose the XO and the Tuscan (I added lettuce to mine) and both were delicious! The staff was helpful and efficient and answered our questions. Most of the guests seemed to be doing takeaway. There are a tables both inside and a front patio. Would absolutely recommend and can't wait to go back. read more

I would give this place 10 stars if I could. The sandwiches are nothing sort of amazing. All the ingredients are fresh and authentic, it looks like they even roast their Porchetta daily. And the BREAD, MAN. Toasted just enough to give you a slight crunch when you sink your teeth into it. Absolutely sublime, and they are definitely big enough to split between two people. There are about 13 sandwiches on the menu, and I aim to try them all. But the food is half the story. The service is definitely worth coming back for. Everyone is very welcoming, you could try any of the meats and cheeses that go into the sandwiches before you buy. Manager kept checking on me to make sure everything was great. I guess he saw the food coma look I had on my face, cause he actually offered me a single or double espresso on the house after finishing my sandwich. Ever since Porchetta Republic closed, I've been on the hunt for a good Italian sandwich, and Pinos definitely fits the bill. read more

Pino's Sandwiches - Ghiotto sandwich (Porchetta, smoked cheese, sun-dried, tomatoes, cooked onions, hot sauce, garlic sauce) & Blood Orange, Italian soda. - Italian Near Me - Los Angeles, California

We arrived on. a Saturday evening, street parking would be a nightmare but thankfully they do have parking in the back of the restaurant. The restaurant is bright and clean. They have a lot of different Italian drinks. We ordered a Brasco, a Ghiotto and a Lady D. The sandwiches came out after a short wait. Unfortunately the eggplant, as well as other items inside the sandwich were ice cold. The other two sandwiches were more heated. We have been to pino's in Florence and these sandwiches didn't come close to the ones in Italy. The bread didn't have crispy crust. The overall flavor was lacking. We were really looking forward to trying this establishment, maybe our expectations were too high. Either way it was a disappointment. read more

Pino's Sandwiches - Lady D - Italian Near Me - Los Angeles, California

If you're looking for authentic Italian sandwiches, this place is the real deal. At least half the staff I've encountered seemed to be from Italy, and the quality of ingredients is very high, especially their unique schiacciata flat bread. Where I think they have the most challenge is that it's hard to recreate the casual Italian street dining culture here in LA, even in a cute, walkable Los Feliz neighborhood. Especially with import costs to maintain quality, prices are a bit higher than a casual everyday sandwich shop like you'd get in Italy. Portion sizes are a bit awkward as well: sandwiches are cut in half, and it would be a very light lunch for two people, or a very heavy lunch for one. Both times I've been in it's been relatively quiet; I think they might have benefited from a slightly smaller, lighter space. But they do have free parking in the back, a major win for Los Feliz! As I said before, the schiacciata bread is the star of the show here: crisp on the surface, soft, warm, and toasty on the inside, with a delicious Italian olive oil infused flavor. Deli meats and cheeses are likewise very good and authentic, you'll have a hard time picking between the different combos on the menu. Veggies and other toppings are fresh. Easy to hold and eat, but beware of getting your fingers greasy if you want to touch anything else. Do note that the sandwich isn't cooked together on a press or toaster or anything. The bread comes out hot, meats and cheeses at room temperature, and the veggies are mostly cold. This is good in as much as it preserves the freshness and individuality of each ingredient, but it also leads to an odd temperature differential as you bite through it, as if the different parts don't quite meld together into a cohesive sandwich. Depends on what you're looking for in a sandwich. Personally I still think they're pretty good and would love to try more varieties, but I can see how it might not fully live up to American tastes and expectations. I hope they do well, I'd love to get that ambiance of a popular Florentine lunch spot here in LA. I think they could also do pretty well if they wanted to sell their schiacciata bread wholesale. read more
