Sandwiches here are not as good as the ones in Italy, but pretty great for what I'd expect here. Got the l'italiana and the la schiacciata del boss. Both were good in their own way but I'd say the truffle cream in the del boss sandwich is an excellent umami boost. Sandwich portions here are pretty big and half a sandwich is enough to fill me up!

Good sandwich, but nowhere near the mythology. The ingredients taste good and the staff were…read morefriendly, so this isn't a bad place by any stretch. But the whole thing is more hype than revelation. The bread does a lot of the talking here, maybe too much. The filling felt light for the size of the sandwich, which makes the whole thing eat a little more like a very good loaf with some ingredients passing through. You also really need to eat it there. Give it too much time and the structure starts to collapse into soggy bread and regret. Not bad. Not amazing. Just a solid sandwich that got treated like a religious experience by the internet.

I had it with "the works" (lettuce, tomato, onion, mayo, mustard, Italian dressing, pickles, and peppers). The bread was absolutely phenomenal and made the sandwich. It was extremely filling and the meat was a great proportion. They also have a serious selection of cold antipasto - I tried the cucumber salad and the marinated mushrooms and both were good. They have seating outside where you can enjoy your prepared foods and plastic silverware at the checkout. They have a great dried goods selection (one of the best tinned fish sections I've ever seen) and a wine shop that I didn't check out but that looked pretty impressive. The hot bar (with things like chicken parm, meatballs, lasagna, etc) smelled wonderful. I wish they were open for dinner because I would have gone back for my second meal of the day! Overall one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. A must visit if you're in the area.

See *Established in 1925, it's a beloved local institution known for its high-quality Italian groceries, fresh-made sandwiches, and extensive selection of deli salads and pasta dishes, with an outdoor patio for seating* To me and so many of us westsiders, IT IS SO MUCH MORE THAN THAT STATEMENT! Highly recommended!!! Be patient ;)))

It was getting late, so while I waited for the kid in the car at their activity, I went on The Heights website found an order form and placed an order for some sammies all in 5 minutes. I didn't even ask the hubs or the vegetarian kid what they wanted. I went with what I thought they'd like. 15-minutes later, I was picking the sandwiches up at the walk-in only shop. There was no line and better yet, they were wrapped up and ready to go when I walked in. The smiling lady asked if I wanted napkins or utensils. They have case after case of cold drinks so we picked out a couple of drinks, paid for those and left. It was easy and fast. Enjoyed the yumminess at home. I normally would save a half for another meal but my "Pasadena" hit the spot that I finished it up all at once. Quality bread, meats, cheese, fillings aka all the ingredients...to boot! PS the kid loved theirs and so did the hub. Thanks for making dinner: easy and delicious! There are no pictures because it was too delicious to take the time out and take any. Just order.

I ordered The Spicy P ($16.00), featuring a chicken cutlet, spicy vodka sauce, mozzarella, basil pesto, grated Romano, and fresh basil, all on a grilled seeded baguette. As a big fan of Chicken Parm, a dish I enjoyed often growing up, I was thrilled to find a place serving it on the West Coast. I used to get chicken parm subs regularly when I lived in MA, so it was wonderful to find something that brought back those familiar flavors - a truly authentic East Coast-style sandwich. I appreciated the chewiness of the seeded baguette and the sesame seeds added a nice textural element. The bread was soft and fresh, and the chicken cutlets were excellent, smothered in gooey, cheesy goodness. While I loved the spicy vodka sauce, it wasn't very spicy, especially for a sandwich named "Spicy."I really enjoyed the Spicy P and would definitely order it again, but I'd also like to come back and try The Crispy Chicken Caesar Wrap next time. Ggiata is definitely worth checking out. I recommend ordering online in advance to avoid a long wait. They have a few stools inside and chairs outside, but it's better to take it to go and enjoy the beach or people-watch in Venice.

There's not a ton of room to stand to wait so I'd recommend ordering ahead to pick up. Parking was impossible too so if you can walk I'd recommend that or park in the neighborhoods somewhere. I ordered the Grilled Chicken Caesar Wrap and it was large so you definitely get your bang for your buck. It came with a side of caesar dressing which I felt it needed as the wrap it self was a little dry due to having light dressing. The chicken was fresh which I loved and they even included croutons inside. Overall the wrap was very good! Next time, I'll be ordering it to be delivered.
