The onions, plentiful and strong, and the rolls delicious. The service was very friendly, too. I enjoyed the tomato relish on the italian and next time will ask for more and also light oil and vinegar. I think I'd also prefer the cheese on top of the meat instead of atop the lettuce, tomato, and onions. The sandwiches were huge and delicious and several other locals were in getting their suppers while our subs were being made. We were not prepared to not have an indoor seating area but the gals said there was an outdoor seating area so we enjoyed our sandwiches at the two clean picnic tables. We really enjoyed our subs and will be back the next time we visit Nolde.

I just can't say no to V&S…read more Although I've never actually set foot in V&S (at this location or the two others dotted across Reading), I find myself absolutely addicted to their subs. About once a month, a co-worker of mine says she's going to V&S and asks me if I want anything. I do indeed. And what I want is an Italian sub. They are so baller here. It's almost like a White House Subs level of fanaticism. So basically whenever I go down to AC, I make a point to stop at White House to pick up a giant sub before even checking into the hotel room. Then on the way out of AC after a weekend of debauchery, I stop by White House again and buy TWO more subs to take home. Whenever I order at V&S, I get subs by the pair. It's never just one. It's at minimum two, but I could definitely see myself ordering three at a time. That could last me the next day or two. A whole sub makes a great dinner. A half sub makes a great late night snack. The other half is a perfect lunch the next day. So what makes a great sub? Well, tons of high quality meat for one. Like, it needs to be piled high. Two or three layers just doesn't cut it. Then fresh cold ingredients, like tomatoes, lettuce, and onion. Next is high quality olive oil that pairs well with an exceptional red wine vinegar. Perhaps one of the most important components is a robust roll. And last but not least, a crushed red pepper relish that adds an extra bite to each, well.. bite. V&S has all of the above. In contrast, the hot dogs here are straight ass. I know, I know. Who gets hot dogs? Well, someone who relishes in the joys and heart complications of transfats for one. Mike from the Jersey Shore was known as "The Situation." You can call me "The Saturation." The hot dogs here are limp and shriveled. I'd wager 7-Eleven has higher quality dogs. On the plus side, if you ask for extra toppings - especially if you request them on the side - V&S is super generous. I asked for onions and they asked if I wanted them on the side. I said sure, so they included a big bag of fresh sliced onions. This was enough for the hot dogs and provided an additional cache of onions that I could sauté up with some chicken and veggies to make a completely separate meal. As I finish this review, I have a major hankering for one of their Italian subs. BRB, gonna place another order.

Whoa now, a new Italian restaurant right up the road? You had my curiosity, but now you have my…read moreattention! At this stage in my life, I will never not eat at a new Italian restaurant. They simply offer everything I want. Subs, salads, pizza, strombolis, pasta... OH MAN. Those are the true five food groups right there. I wish I grew up in an Italian family so I could eat those ev day. So, what does Nino's do well? The chicken in their chicken pasta dishes i.e. Marsala and piccata. So juicy and tender. They pound it out, flour it up, and sauté it in a pan. Really locks in the juices. Love the fact that you can choose your pasta in each dish as well. They aren't forcing spaghetti down your throat. Go with whatever floats your boat - fettuccini, linguini, penne, rigatoni, ziti, or my personal favorite: angel hair. One bummer about the piccata - I had to add my capers and red pepper flakes. Ok, red pepper isn't required per se, but capers? That's a main ingredient, isn't it? Luckily I had a little jar in my fridge ready to go. Oh, and the Marsala sauce was kinda weak to be honest. Wasn't really enough sauce to cover all the pasta and what little sauce was there didn't have a whole lot of flavor. The Antipasto salad was good. Lots of meat. People who get Antipasto salads or chef salads of Italian salads get them for the meat. They want to eat lots of meat but give the appearance of eating healthy to onlookers because of the lettuce factor. "Hey chef, can you pile a huge mound of deli meat on top of a handful of lettuce to give the illusion that I'm eating healthy? Thanks!" Last but not least, we have Nino's Special pizza (pepperoni, sweet sausage, green pepper, mushrooms, onions and bacon). It was perfectly acceptable. The crust was thinner than I expected, but it had a nice crunch. And the mushrooms were canned. I suppose this is the norm? They used fresh mushrooms in the chicken marsala, but canned mushrooms as a pizza topping. Mushrooms don't have a long shelf life, so I can totally understand why they do this. Pasta dishes are a bit on the pricy side ($19 - $22), but they do come with a small salad and bread. So yeah, not gonna be an everyday lunch destination unless you've got Bezos money, but when I want to splurge after a day of hardship (i.e. going outside to get the mail), Nino's will be my reward.
