Paesano's Sandwich Shop

Paesano's is definitely hole-in-the-wall. Besides the kitchen, there is room for about ten people to stand inside. There are two tables outside, but expect this place to be packed. The shop is staffed with a few people all taking orders and frantically whipping up delicious sandwiches.


With almost nothing else to remark upon, Paesano's has to make the food do all of the talking. And I'm glad to report that it's all good. Ten hoagies, all with delicious ingredients like roasted tomatoes, gorgonzola, broccoli rabe, and caramelized peppers all served next to perfectly roasted pork, beef, and other meats. Even if you don't eat meat, there's tuna fish and an eggplant option. The bread is great, the sandwiches are delicious and even thinking about them is making me salivate right now.

I am always searching for eateries that can dethrone the popular choice around my neighborhood. First it was Key, and Primo has nothin' on Paesano's. This picture looks as gross as the sandwich is good.

Bottom Line: Check the menu and call ahead to avoid the inevitable wait. Pick any sandwich; you'll be happy. Sandwiches come with recommended sides, but the staff with accommodate a substitution without the blink of an eye. I'll be visiting again soon.
