Mangialardo's

"One of the only real “hole in the wall” places left in DC, you will NEVER find a better Italian sub than what you can grab here, but the G Man is the real star. The hard roll is the way to go, but they do offer soft rolls as well. Just a wonderful, family-owned no frills sandwich shop, an institution in rapidly changing DC."

"Best sandwiches in DC. It’s a local staple only open for weekday lunches. The G-Man on hard bread, meatball sub, and turkey and cheese are so good. Definitely recommend calling ahead or making an order online so you don’t have to wait for your sandwich. Take out only."

"Update 11/29 : Got the notorious Big G (on soft roll), it’s huge and SUPER delicious. — Mangialardo's is my go to sandwich place. Open since 1953, yesss….69 years and still delicious. An old school Italian Shop is truly a hidden gem. I love their roast beef & Cheese sandwich on soft roll bread. Kiss, Olan"

"A hole in the ground but one of the best Italian deli’s in DC. They’ve been here a long time and the sandwiches are phenomenal! I always get the Italian cold cut on a soft roll. The soft roll keeps all that delicious Italian meat in tact better than the hard roll does. I also enjoy the tasty potato salad. A little pricey but it’s legit. Mama mia!!"
