[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh for sure sandwiches at Italian Store in Arlington [/quote]

Nooo...[/quote]

Agreed. Blech! I never understood all of the fuss about this place (And I am Italian). The bread they use is tasteless and soggy and the meats are no better than what you buy at a grocery store deli counter. Then, they slap on some onions, oil, and peppers and call it an Italian sub. And they charge you $10.00 for a small sandwich. They have no competition though, and this is probably the only reason for the hype.[/quote]

If you're from Italy and expecting it to replicate something from home, you've missed the point of Italian Store. It has a title competition now, but it is one of only a few non-big chain sandwich shops.[/quote]

NP.  I don't think Italians eat Italian subs like this, moron.[/quote]

Another NP. Then maybe the Italian Store isn't the right place for someone looking for authentic food??

As an Italian American who grew up in an area with many great [i]Italian-American[/i] restaurants/delis, the Italian Store isn't perfect, but it's the best nearby in this area.

[b]Italian American and Italian are two different cuisines. [/b]Totally different. My mother cried when we found out we were moving to Italy because she didn't like American Italian.....she loves Northern Italian (regional) food. That said, when I saw some place called "the Italian Store", I thought it was an import shop and got excited. When I saw what it was I turned around and left. There is a little place called "The deli" in the K-Mart Shopping plaza in Herndon has really good Italian subs!![/quote]

Yes - that was my point. Sorry, I should have said "grew up with great [i]Italian-American[/i] restaurants".
