Alimentari

"The atmosphere and service were great. This review will be based on the Italian beef sandwich on the menu and I may update the review when I get the chance to get a cold cut. I walked in and ordered my sandwich. I was out within 5 minutes which was super great. I got the Italian beef sandwich with hot giardiniera. I found that the sandwich ingredients individually were high quality components but the overall sandwich was quite disappointing. Despite the bread being high quality, I found it way too big for an Italian beef sandwich. Unlike other Italian beef places in the Midwest, I found that this sandwich was not dipped and lacked the overall texture that makes an Italian beef sandwich great. The beef itself was not as juicy as I was hoping. It felt dried and boring lacking any real unique personality and flavor. I tried the Calabrian style potato chips alongside the sandwich and those were some of the best chips I have had at a sandwich shop hands down. Overall, I felt indifferent about the experience albeit the sandwich I particularly went for was pretty mid. I am willing to give it another shot with a cold cut sandwich at another point."

"3.5 out of 5 stars. Coming from the East Coast, I miss the Italian sandwich delis with their delicious sandwiches. I can't eat pork (developed allergy), so I got the turkey sandwich without the ham. They wouldn't let me sub the ham with more turkey, so they charged me another $1. I also wanted it toasted; however, apparently they only have two hot sandwiches that they serve. My mom got the spicy soppressata sandwich. We both thought the sandwiches were "ok." Also, they should invest in a panini press. I ended up toasting my sandwich in the oven when I got home. Otherwise, the store is really fun. They have a bunch of imported specialty items, and apparently Baron's gelato made in the state of Wisconsin (that was yummy). I would go back for some of their specialty items, not necessarily their sandwiches."

"The BEST place for Sandwiches! I must say I’ve had some good sandwich throughout the Midwest - my favorite is the Italian Beef and the Meatball Sub! I cannot wait to try the others! They also have a great selection of gelatos, beers, N/A cocktails you can enjoy at home and so much more! Staff is friendly! Plenty of parking!"

"My first time at Alimentari. Great shop. So many great things to try. I had the spicy soppressata sammie which was delicious and big enough for two people. I also had the pesto tortellini which was equally good. I shall return!"

"Great sandwiches! We will be back to try their extensive menu. We had their prosciutto sandwich this time, and a whole sandwich was enough to share with two people. They really loaded it up with prosciutto!"
