    The best Italian ingredients and sandwiches on this side of the Potomac! Good for a quick lunch, picking up nice wine, and other authentic Italian ingredients.

    Speaking as a native NJ-ian, the pizzas here are pretty damn good. That said, the cannoli, imported package goods, pizza dough, salted meats....really, everything is quite good.

    When you read about this place online and think there's no way it can live up to the hype - like I did - rest assured, it can. The Capri sub is amazing: spicy, meaty, and delicious!

    Without a doubt one of the best Italian subs I have ever had. Got the Roma and on soft roll. The Fantasy bars are to die for! Love it!

    Arguably the best authentic Neapolitan pizzas in the area; inarguably delicious. The sandwiches on chewy italian rolls with imported meats and aged cheeses are a trip to culinary heaven.

    Get The Roma. Sometimes you just want Italian cold cuts without any fancy garnishes, toppings or accoutrements. The Roma is your sandwich. Read more

    Italian Store can be busy during lunch hours. Be sure to grab a number as soon as you get there. I usually go w/ the Genoa sub. If you get the meatball sub, be sure to ask for a hard roll. Read more

    Excellent selection of pastas and Italian wines. Don't miss the frozen Italian dinners/desserts they bring in every day from New York. The tiramisu is great!

    This should be tagged pizza too. One of the best real subs in DC and great real NY style pizza too.

    The Capri is great. It's the first sub listed on the menu for a reason. Extra peppers are by far worth the extra .25 cents!

    Best place for Italian wine. If it's on sale it is bound to be good. And get a Milano sub.

    Just left. Waited for 15 minutes with my number in front of the sandwich makers and everyone appeared to be ignoring me. Some lady came in and was attended immediately. Last time I come here.

    Poor service, worse attitude. I'm used it being chaotic. Noy@used to them taking an order, then "forgetting" to make the food. Then saying they were out of chicken parm. They didn't care.
