Everything is incredibly reasonably priced, especially for the quality. I ordered the Italiano, and it was only $11 and packed with fresh ingredients and full of flavor. I was surprised there wasn't a line when we stopped by around 3:30 p.m. on a Saturday, which made it even better. If you're in the area and craving a great Italian sandwich, this spot is absolutely worth a visit. I'll definitely be back!

Thank you and God bless you, Savenor's for lasting so long, and most of all, Chef Julia Child who blessed us mere mortals with the Art of French Cooking! You were a pioneer and role model. My Mom gave me my first cookbook a labor of love co-authored by Julia Child and Simone Beck "Mastering the Art of French Cooking" as a gift.

This is an interesting place,,, although my Sister was telling me we used to come here all the time for meat when I was younger. This is a butcher shop like on a wholesale level though, nothing fancy and they have a plethora of seasonings for said meat as well. Ethnic rice to purchase too! According to my big Sister the prices were competitive if not better than the local grocery markets.

Italian Sub: $20 for a foot long, the meat was so plentiful it's almost overflowing, enough for two meals. The prisciutto was tender and juicy; the salami was firm and savory with a strong smokiness. Both are thinly sliced, so despite the thick stack, it was relatively easy for a bite. The provolone cheese was also generously portioned, with a robust yet not spicy flavor and a subtle nutty aroma, perfectly complementing the two meats. The olive oil and balsamic vinegar were particularly outstanding: mellow, tangy, and with a fruity aroma of grapes, key to the complex flavor profile. The lettuce, tomatoes, and onions were all fresh, especially the onions were refreshing and a little zingy, perfect for removing the greasiness. Unfortunately, I was worried about not being able to roll it back up properly and making it inconvenient to carry (which it actually happened), so I took it away and ate it at the office. After about 40 minutes, the bread had become somewhat dry and hard.
