"The specialty sandwiches were 18$ and very good, but, inconsistently made. We went there three days in a row and got the same thing and all three days it was made differently. Too much balsamic one day I couldn't even taste the meat. The eggplant is soaked in balsamic one day and not the next .. it was better without. One day many tomatoes, the next, very few. But they were good. I would go back. They have Italian soda which is simply flavored syrup in soda water which was actually pretty good. They have a few sugar-free flavors as well."
