[quote=Anonymous][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 Italian restaurants/delis, the Italian Store isn't perfect, but it's the best nearby in this area.

Italian American and Italian are two different cuisines. 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]

We tried The Deli and were terribly underwhelmed. The search continues![/quote]

Litteri's.  Red Apron also has a pretty solid Italian-style sub.
