My husband and I were excited to try this new Italian sandwich shop next to Annesso and owned by the same owners (Pardini). We went around 4 o'clock on Thursday after their opening and there was a line to get in. It probably took a half hour to get in and get to the ordering point. You order at the counter where you can see them making the bread and all the fresh ingredients to put on the sandwiches. I ordered the Tuscan ham and my husband got a plain turkey and salami sandwich with no spreads or toppings. He was happy with his. He loved the bread, and the meats are fresh and great quality. Unfortunately, my Tuscan ham had way too much spread or maybe the pecorino cream was just too overpowering. It was supposed to have a calabrian spicy spread, but I really couldn't taste the Calabrian Chile. I would not get those spreads in the future but probably just a drizzle of olive oil. The spreads were so overpowering I couldn't taste the freshness of any of the other ingredients. The foccacia bread was more crispy than chewy maybe because they warm it back up with olive oil right before making the sandwich. I would maybe ask that they not warm up the bread either if I go back. There was plenty of seating inside and outside on their patio, and everyone was super friendly. All in all with the fresh ingredients and fresh bread, this place definitely deserves a try from anyone looking for a good sandwich. read more

Strada - ROASTED TURKEY with BASIL PESTO - Sandwiches Near Me - Fresno, California

The bread is fresh, as are the veges in the sandwich. Very tasty! The line was quite long, but there are so many friendly people serving that it went very quickly. People in line were friendly as was the staff. There's a low home of chatter so if there were music playing in the background, I did not hear any. There are plenty of seats available. Ordering the sandwich was a great experience. You are able to request each item as you walk by. I chose the vegetarian sandwich and added turkey. My husband ordered turkey salami, and he really enjoyed it. We were in Italy in March and looking forward to trying these sandwiches to compare. One differences that we preferred in Italy was they cooked the sandwich after they made it so it was very crunchy. Other than that, the flavors and fresh ingredients were comparable. read more

I love that my office is across the street from Strada. I wanted to see what all the hype was about. I went and got the ham sandwich. I love, love the fresh bread. I could totally get their bread and dip it in some hot garlic butter, and it will be so fantastic. I did get extra toppings and also splurge on a couple of the premium toppings. As soon as I walked in, everyone was smiling and happy to be at work. I happen to look up and pull up when there was no line outside. The sandwich was really good. Everything just melted together in the sandwich. There were a few sandwiches. I would like to try each time I visit. I will come back again, it was a really good experience, I got in and out really fast. The sandwich was good, but I'm a pickle girl and I need a real good pickle, when I have a sandwich. But that will not stop me from going back again. It is worth a try just to see what all the hype is about. When we went in, the insight was really clean, the lights were nice and bright. You could order your sandwich sit at a table and enjoy yourself while you eat. read more

First time here as I am not from this area. Sis raved about the sandwich she got a few weeks ago and said the bread is amazing. They make their own bread. The staff was friendly and yes the bread was amazing. I got a create your own with truffle spread, artichoke spread and creamy mozzarella to start. I also added red onion + avocado (of course) with the marinaded bell peppers that were delicious. Overall, my sandwich was very delicious and I would return read more

Earlier this week, I saw theMuffuletta Sandwich Instagram. I finally made my way there today to try it and I'm so Happy I did!

Second time here at Strada and today I had the peach and prosciutto sandwich and it was absolutely delicious. I love the atmosphere and the vibe of the restaurant. We will definitely be back soon to try more of the menu. read more

my reasoning for three stars is just the lack of consistency. We really enjoy coming here, but it's definitely a hit or miss. My husband thinks it's the bread that has some trial and error to go through. Some sandwiches are amazing and some days we're just kind of left feeling like they were average. Oddly enough, my favorite sandwich there is the tuna. I've tried almost all of them and you can't really go wrong except for when they they're having an off day. I wish the sandwiches came with more stuff on them, but it's easy to customize in the line. We will keep coming back. We just hope as time goes on their level of consistency goes up. The outdoor patio is really nice especially for families. when we were sitting out there, we had Staff approach us and asked if we needed anything and help us get stuff for our leftovers. That was a really nice touch. read more

Strada - mortadella sandwich - Sandwiches Near Me - Fresno, California

I really liked the sandwiches here. My only negative was that I think it could benefit from a little bit more meat to bread ratio. The tiramisu and the Nutella dessert sandwiches were also very tasty. The staff was nice and even though there was quite a line it moved pretty quickly. I would recommend that you give it a try if you haven't yet. read more

Atmosphere was top tier matched perfectly with the freshness ingredients creating a flavorful bite. You can taste the freshly baked dough and organic vegetables in every bite. I love how you can customize to your taste buds! Ask yourself will you go back? YES! But line might be out the doors... Enjoy! read more

Strada - Sandwiches Near Me - Fresno, California

Both times my wife and I had Strada we ordered ahead and picked up. Their use of Toast makes this easy and we haven't been inclined to sit and eat in yet. The sandwiches are very large, split in half and loaded. We have decided to pick one and split it going forward which isn't necessarily a bad thing. One of the daily specials had some questionable seasoning that we couldn't quite place but it made it too salty and hard to enjoy. The bread they use is dense and spongy, car eaters beware sliding toppings! We enjoyed what we had for the most part and will likely order again! read more

Got this place again for lunch and it was AGAIN great!! Strada is such a solid spot in Fresno! I got the prosciutto and turkey sandwich with pesto and it was so good. The pesto added a ton of flavor without being too overpowering, and the prosciutto and turkey went really well together. Everything tasted fresh and the portions were pretty filling too. Didn't go in today but the service was great! All my coworkers got the correct orders and loved it. Definitely a good place to stop by when you're craving a good sandwich. read more

Strada - prosciutto sandwich - Sandwiches Near Me - Fresno, California

Tried Strava in Fresno and really enjoyed it. The bread was the star of the show--fresh, crispy on the outside, and fluffy on the inside. The sandwich ingredients were simple, but everything tasted fresh and made for a great light meal. The restaurant is spacious with a nice shaded outdoor seating area. The only downside was the wait; the line was very long and took about 45 minutes. It's definitely worth trying, but I'm not sure it's worth that long of a wait. read more

Strada - Fresh Bread - Sandwiches Near Me - Fresno, California

It's busy so go at an off-hour. I arrived about 8PM and the line still had formed. Simple offerings, I ordered the spicy sandwich, add tomatoes, sweet peppers, onions and pepper chinos and had them add a bit more spread. It's a large Sami so made 2 meals and let me tell you, after sitting in the fridge overnight, was SO MUCH BETTER! Ate cold. The bread and its texture is the distinct difference of what's going on here. And even overnight in the fridge, it held up well! Everything worked for me and I'm looking forward to trying something with turkey and avocado! -G read more

Came grand opening day. Service was very organized and smooth. Beautiful indoor seating area and patio seating with canopy umbrellas. The order: I got the prosciutto sandwich that comes with their homemade focaccia bread. The sandwich is cut into two pieces. First off, the bread is light and airy. Really great texture, not hard. My sandwich comes with fresh arugula and lightly drizzle aged balsamic vinegar. All the toppings pairs so well nicely. My sandwich was not complicated, just delicious. I also got their homemade chocolate chip cookie. This cookie was divine! I love how it is a thin crispy cookie. Very fresh when I got it. I would definitely get the cookie again. Staff were great, one approached me as I was finishing up and gave me a to-go bag when he saw I didn't finish the other half of the sandwich. Overall, wonderful experience. Great to see another Pardini business open up in Fresno. Will be back for more delicious sandwiches. read more

Come early! I came on a Sunday at 11:00am and was pleasantly surprised there was a short line. After 11:30am there was a line out the door. I appreciated the small menu and chose the prosciutto sandwich. Delicious, fresh ingredients. For sides, they only have bagged chips. The jumbo cookies are definitely worth a try if you're looking for a sweet treat after lunch! read more

Not worth waiting out in the heat for. I've spent quite a bit of time in italy visiting my family who live there and this pales in comparison. The flavor is not there, or is completely underwhelming. I'm not sure if sandwich ingredients are made with low grade products, or are not sourced locally. Either way, this place pretty much only rides on the "freshly baked focaccia" motto which is honestly not hard to come by anymore. The one thing that was amazing was the chocolate chip cookie. Incredibly small on the inside. Wait until they have take out. read more

New to Fresno and lives up to the high ch t. Don't let the long line dissuade you from going here. The food js top notch. I observed then bread get cut near evenly by hand here. The sandwiches are so good. Top 3 Italian sandwich in town. The inside is so clean. This is a must stop in Fresno. read more

Busy lunch rush but it went faster than expected. Sandwich was amazing. Have gone back repeatedly since to try a new one each time.

I have eaten there 4 times, first 2 unbelievable! The third, hardly any meat, more bread than anything. went there today, the female putting the meat on the sandwich topped it in the middle and didn't spread it out, I asked for extra meat, she rolled her eyes turned to the guy directly behind her cutting the meat and asked for more, she told me it would cost 3.50 more so I said nevermind, needless to say there was about an inch at the end of my sandwich that had nothing on it She does not like her job and you can tell, whatever you do don't ask for extra meat without feeling like you are putting someone out! read more

I've only had one other sandwich from Strada, my second one yesterday... I'm truly sorry but it wasn't good at all... Hardly any meats drowning in sauce Not sure I'll go back read more

I've been saying Fresno needs an Italian street sandwich shop for 20 years. So excited to try Strada!!! It was fantastic. From the start of the fresh made bread to the quality ingredients and combination of flavor profiles for each of the sandwiches it met all my expectations. We did have to wait in line for 45 minutes, but was worth it. They are hustling inside to keep things moving. We ordered the prosciutto sandwich and the straciatella and both were fantastic. It's super casual seating but as the rest of Pardini's restaurants, very nicely done. And to my surprise, not on menu, was a giant chocolate chip cookie which was perfection, chewy middle, crispy edges...yum. Can't wait until the takeout window is open! read more

Food was....underwhelming. Not a lot of flavor coming through. Both my friend and I weren't super impressed. We will give it another try though because maybe we ordered wrong, and there's so many other sandwich combos to choose from. I also got the big giant cookie since it looked scrumptious, all for it to also be very underwhelming :( bad first visit read more

Let me start by saying I'm not typically a "sandwich" person, but this place was a very pleasant surprise. When we pulled up and saw the long line outside, I knew it had to be good--and I was all in! The menu is simple, offering a curated selection of sandwiches. I ordered the Roasted Turkey with Artichoke Spread and added salami. It was, without question, one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. The quality of the ingredients was outstanding, especially the artichoke spread, and the staff members were so friendly. But the real star of the show is the bread--fresh from the oven and absolutely delicious. This is the kind of place that turns a casual lunch into a memorable meal. I'll definitely be back! Don't let the line deter you! read more

Strada - 1. Roasted Turkey with Artichoke Spread (I added Salami). 2. Roasted Turkey with Basil Pesto. 3. Choc. Chip Cookie - Sandwiches Near Me - Fresno, California

Great place to get sandwiches and a huge plus that they make the bread daily. Only downside is some of the sandwiches have spreads that's sound good but aren't. Quality of meat, bread and cheese is great though! Would be better if they had other sides other than miss vickies chips though to further stand out. read more

Not sure what all the hype is about this place. Except fancy sandwiches that aren't very good. I don't recommend this place

Love this spot! Sandwiches truly taste like you're in Italy. The bread is fresh and they have tons of spreads and toppings. Love it.

I have heard so much about this place so we decided to give it a try. We got in line at 10:53 on a Sunday, they opened at 10:30. We did not make it through the line until 11:40. It was a very long wait, with majority of the wait outside in the sun. The seating area isn't that large and there were many tables that had finished eating and were just sitting around chatting leaving lots of people having to get their food to go as there was nowhere to sit. The employees seemed very friendly. Dining area was being tended to quickly and was very clean. We split a Tuscan salami sandwich with the artichoke spread. We asked them to also add a bit of pesto. We heard people ordering a side of zucchini so we decided to as well. The sandwich and zucchini were delicious! I definitely want to go back, but the long wait makes it hard especially with the summer and heat coming. read more

Strada - Sandwiches Near Me - Fresno, California

I got here about 2pm on Saturday and the tables were full and the line to order was out the door. It took a good half hour before I was able to place my order, but the long wait in line gave me time to thoroughly look over a paper menu that is available at the door when you walk in. Which in my case was fine for me since being my first time here and not having a clue what to order, and every sandwich on the menu looked as equally delicious as the other. The fresh focaccia bread was coming directly out of the ovens before ordering. I ended up ordering the PROSCIUTTO, fresh mozzarella, tomato, arugula, olive oil, aged balsamic for $14 and added a pesto spread on one side of the bread and roasted sweet peppers for $1 extra. The sandwich was delicious and huge (I could only eat 1/2 of it) and saved the other half for later. I will definitely be coming back to try other sandwiches on the menu. read more

Good flavor and quality but they are very stingy with the toppings. Had only a few pieces of ripped up prosciutto on my sandwich. For $16 a sandwich I think they should add more of the protein. read more

Strada - Sandwiches Near Me - Fresno, California

Impressed by the setup but left alot to be desired though. Wasn't a fan of the sandwich after a 30 min wait in line. Maybe it's a preference thing but I prefer multiple different cold cuts over 1. We bought the truffle spreaded one, which had a whole lot of arugula and a gob of cold mozzarella. Couldn't finish my half. They do look authentic to the sandwiches served in Italy though but I'll just stick to Sam's Deli. read more

Overall: A yummy place to eat! Went to try Strada over the weekend during a rush (2-3 pm) and ended up waiting 40 mins all together in line/ordering/receiving food. The long line ended up dying down at 4, so I wish we came at a different time lol. Staff tried their best to accommodate every customer Food: I went with my sibling and we ordered a prosciutto, tuscan ham, and spicy soppressata all together. Our favorite dish was definitely the prosciutto sandwich- the salty meat with warm toasted focaccia paired nicely with the mozzarella, arugula, and tomato! I added red onion and avocado with it too. If you want something with a little kick the tuscan ham/soppressata might be in your lane. Tuscan sandwich is very light (not too salty) and the sauce and arugula cuts through any heaviness from the meat/roasted eggplant/focaccia. Everything was fresh, and even your own meat was sliced on the spot as you ordered. This place is definitely worth trying, and I will be coming back Inside: I like how the interior is decorated, with the frosted glass blocking customers who were eating vs in line. We ate inside, and even with the long line there was almost always free tables/chairs (both indoor and outdoor) Con: My only complaint is with the operations of the establishment, assuming the owner is responsible. I really wished the items at the food bar were labeled for the customers, and there was a better work flow that the employees could follow (given by management). While waiting for line I noticed that the wait wasn't because of the volume of customers itself, but because each customer would ask for extensive information about the ingredients! Most people didn't know what each sauce/meat was and would ask which ingredients fit under a certain dietary restriction and it made the entire ordering process SO slow. Sometimes people would even change their mind about the meat or cheese they wanted when the order was almost put together... it was frustrating to witness. The patience the staff had while trying to take care of the volume of customers was appreciated! read more

We went today to try it out I didn't expect the wait to be so long but it was worth it. They have over 20 employees working at the same time the smell is great the food is incredibly fresh. We bought three sandwiches and all three were perfect in their own way. The turkey artichoke is my favorite followed by the veggie one with fresh motz. Bread is individually baked and has the best mouthfeel I've ever had in a sandwich. Owner was there working the bread, very filling and fair pricing. Another local gem I will frequent when I want this kind of sandwich it was a lovely experience. read more
