Nathan Essner: Never had anything that wasn't good. Salsiccia and meatball are both must haves. Best salsiccia on the hill, which is saying something.
Erik Rowley: Easily the greatest meatball sub I’ve ever eaten, get the garlic bread. This place has been run by the Fassi family since 1926, service is top notch! Say Hi to Tom who runs it now.
