Absolutely the best sandwich shop Ive been to in a long time. Little hole in the wall at the end of an alley, best bread, authentic meats and they sell pasta and oils for cooking. 100% recommend, these guys are the real deal!!

A beautiful shop that feels like hidden treasure, filled to the brim with delicious Italian treats and tradition, with freshly made pasta, preserves and pickles and incredible cured meats. The sandwiches are a joy, with excellent Italian bread right from the adjacent bakery (worth a visit), with the staple Italian (Mortadella, Genoa Salami, Sopressata, Provolone, Lettuce, Tomato, Onion, Hot Peppers, Olive Oil, Vinegar, and Oregano. Mamma mia!) leading the charge next to the subtle but powerful Panino (Prosciutto, Fresh Mozzarella, Tomato, Basil, and Olive Oil.) being easily accesible, with tons of fresh and expertly cut options to discover alongside the friendly and clearly local staff.In pandemic times. we picked up our sandwiches (as well as a plate of meatballs, yum!) and drove off for a picnic in the Esplanade, perfect for the improving weather!

Clearly my new favorite—cool and interesting little hideaway with a great staff. Clean quick and efficient with the highest quality meats and breads. The Italian sub stood out as the winner in a taste test —despite being very sparse on the meat—order double meat it’s worth it. Highly recommend this place.

I had high hopes for the Italian sub, however, it fell short due to the minimal about of deli meat. It was mostly lettuce which was an absolute bummer as the bread, cheese and meat tasted amazing. Willing to give it another try although this time I wont get anything with deli meat.

Hidden gem in the north end. Fantastic selection of meats + cheeses, pasta, sauces etc.Appreciate the selection of Gluten-free pastas from Italy.

Lovely deli place. Dont be put off that you have to go up an alley to it. It has an amazing selection of meats, cheeses and pastas to shop. Well worth the visit

Came here, got a panino, it was huge, the bread was excellent, and overall a pretty good sandwich! Cant comment much else about their deli offerings or pasta but they appear to have a wide selection of authentic italian staples and it was pretty popular when I stopped by it in the afternoon.

A very special shop hidden away down a small alley behind their restaurant. Wonderful meats and cheeses and assorted Italian goodies. Bites the best sandwich es in Boston.Also their bakery is across the alley down the steps and the bread is TREMENDOUS!!! Some of the best bread we have ever had!! And thats saying something as Im from Providence where bread is an art..

A little hard to find but well worth it. Great selection of Italian cheese, breads, and meats. Dont leave with getting some eggplant and/or chicken parm! Sandwichs are awesome as well 😋

One of my favorite places in the North End. Tucked down a small alley, this place and the bakery next door will give you genuine Italy vibes. Sandwiches are delicious and huge for the price - my favorites are the Italian and Chicken Parm. Lots of cold cuts, fresh pasta, and other goodies as well.

Well worth turning off the busy Hanover St. sidewalk in Bostons North End and heading down the narrow, clean alley. We took an out of town friend and got chicken parm, caprese, and Italian cold cut sandwiches with three Pellegrinos for, I think, $41 (plus a healthy tip, because the service was quick and efficient). We took it all out to a table on the Greenway and watched the world go by. Delicious real Italian subs. I was in Mortadella heaven!

Outstanding Italian sandwich! Perfectly sliced meat and onions; great bread from next door. Knowledgeable staff.

I really dont get the high rating. I got the Italian and it was just ok. Light on the meat and almost completely dry. Not bad by any means but surely not the best sandwich in Boston!

Best Italian sandwich 👍Chicken parm sandwich was ok (at least for me it needs little more flavor).

Hands down, the best Italian sandwiches in town!!

This is my go-to when I play tour guide for family and friends visiting Boston. Its a little hidden down an alleyway. Never fails to impress! Excellent and well-priced sandwiches, fine selection of antipasto, cheeses galore. Cannot get better than this.

If you find yourself in Boston’s North End and are not looking to spends hundreds of dollars on a dinner. Stop by here, order a Panino Lady to go and walk down to the waterfront of the Boaton Market and enjoy one of the best kept secrets in Boston. The DePasquale family run an amazing business.

Great house cured meats, sandwiches and unique grocery items

As advertised. This little shop located in an alley has one of the best chicken parm heroes Ive ever had

One of the best places around. I always go there for sandwiches and fresh pasta

I love this place, but the women in the bread shop today was using the same gloves that she was handling the bread as the money. With a world wide pandemic I think better practices should be in place.

Delicious sandwiches, reasonably priced and made fresh.

Home of a great sandwich and a fine selection of deli fare

My new favorite place for sandwiches

Best eggplant parm I’ve ever had

Love Love Love their Italian subs but was disappointed to learn after waiting 20 minutes outside they were not making subs. Not sure if its because of Covid. Nevertheless was super sad 😥

Such an awesome place. Love the authenticity

Every time were in Boston we will stop here and get sandwiches. Every time we leave Boston we miss this place. Got a tray of lasagna along with sandwiches this time, it was the best weve ever had. Sooo good!

I dream about these sandwiches. If there was one place and only one place I could eat when I was in Boston, this would be it.

Greatest sandwich of my life

Fantastic bread and a hidden gem is the sugar coated doughnut...the best! The location is tight but adorable and staff are so friendly.

Excellent authentic italian meats and fair. Great bread. I always stop by when I am in the area. Location is hidden in a small side ally off the main street look for the sign with the hand pointing to the alley.

Always a treat. And one of the few places to get squid ink.

Great supply of a variety of pastas and sauces.

WARNING: The chicken parmigiana sub is delicious, and HUGE! It can easily feed two people. I ate one myself for lunch and didnt even think about dinner. 🤯 Im definitely going back for more... with a friend! 👍

On our way back to nyc after a Maine vacay, had a great sandwich lunch to go. Prosciutto and chicken parm sandwiches were magnifico! Scrumptious bread at the bakery downstairs. Found my sandwich spot in boston!

Nice hidden gem!

Great meats and sandwiches

Great meatball sub for lunch! Love the bread!

Had the cutest grandma make me the best Prosciutto sandwich ever. I’d move in and have them feed me everyday if I could 💚

The Salumeria at the end of this tiny alley takes the bread that they bake at the Paneteria along with fresh Italian cold cuts and ingredients, and puts it together in a sandwich that really validates the Best Sandwiches in the North End sign that hangs outside the alley. Everything tastes amazing and the bread is just perfect. This is one of my favorite spots in the city because of just how good and inexpensive it is.

Very cute little shop tucked away down a long alley. Great sandwiches. Large portions and good prices for what you get. I would definitely go back.

A great spot with really fresh and well prepared food. Also, the gigantic sandwiches for $10 is great for big eaters.

Great little spot with fresh pastas, cheese and meat. I highly recommend the fresh raviolis.

This place is hidden back in an alley. It feels very authentic and the sandwiches were pretty good (bread was amazing but they were lite on meat). I would go again.

Well worth sorting through all of the amazing smells Little Italy has to offer. Great place to grab a lunch that doesn’t involve a heavy pasta dish. The Italian sub was scrumptious!

It may be difficult to find, but is worth it. Beautiful bread, and sandwich ingredients. Simplicity at its best. Great Italian store as well, with interesting items.

Very friendly place way better then the other salumeria on hannover st. Love this hidden jewel, will visit again on my next Boston trip.

Very quaint small Italian shop. Lots of fresh food choices. Definitely worth the stop if you are in the neighborhood.

Amazing italian sub

Not the quickest sandwich place, but this is directly and inversely correlated with how good the sandwiches are. Latinos making Italian food for some reason always works out and this place is no exception.

Take turn down an alleyway off Hanover St. in Boston’s North End and you’ll find this treat. They offer a variety of great items perfect for any antipasto or charcuterie. I recommend trying one of their sandwiches, they make the bread at the panetteria next door.

Most amazing Boston find yet. They have an entire homemade pasta bar and charcuterie set up. The fresh cured olives are delicious and the supplemental boxes and sauces are all delicious. I walk through every time Im in the North end because its just nice to get a little bite of something...

We love Bricco grinders The Italian and meatball subs are out of this world, Downstairs the home made breads, warm, fresh and crusty. We live near Amherst Mass and visit Bricco Salumeria every 3 month. Must try!!!! Yummy

I visit every year around Christmas time and its thet best little hole in the wall. Best subs, best bread, meats are supreme. Fresh handmade pasta and sauces. They were making fresh mozeralla when we left. Very nice people. If youre in the area and hungry, stop in for a sub!

Hands down the best quick lunch in the North End. Stop in and get a sandwich. Fresh bread, fresh meat, fresh veggies. SO GOOD. There is some seating outside or you can grab a drink and walk to the Greenway for a little picnic to enjoy Boston.

Couldve gotten more at subway. Totally not worth the money for a slice of meat and cheese on a really large roll. I now get the Family Guy joke about the bread sandwich. Also wanted to mention that they wanted to charge 2 dollars to swap hot peppers for roasted reds. If this is the norm, I am completely blown away by this highway robbery. So disappointed here.

They are one of the best deli stops in Boston. Amazing Italian sandwiches.

Bring your appetite. Their Italian sandwiches are the best in the city!

Great eggplant Parmesan sandwiches

A cheap eat with Italian meats that cant be beat! Large sandwiches left me satisfied. Only a couple tables in the alley right outside. Definitely a buy!

This is my go-to place for fresh pasta, parmasean cheese, and sauce... then I go home and cook it, and my friends and family think I am an amazing cook! Fooled every time!!

Amazing!!! Got fresh homemade mozzarella! Great sandwiches that are impossible to eat in one sitting! Very friendly and great service here!

Sandwiches are freshly made, fast, HUGE, and delicious!! Very inexpensive and lots of meats and pastas to choose from as well.

Loved it, fresh made sandwich to go. The bakery is awesome fresh bread.

This is a great top-notch Italian place to come to in the North End superb customer service and the food was excellent.

Great sandwiches. Lots of other goodies to try.

Gem that is hidden down the little alley and oh yeah it became a regualar stop each week! food is always so fresh and the bread is i mean they make it right were you get it that day! cant be more fresh than that!

Simple and delicious. The sandwich is so fresh that I could identify every ingredient in it without looking at the menu, definitely would come back for it.

The owner is a very nice gentleman. Nothing but quality food at a reasonable price. Love going in.

Amazing food to cook with and fresh Italian ingredients. They also make subs to go which are to die for.

Excellent charcuterie.I’m not giving 5 ⭐️ because the staff is not very friendly 😞

Excellent pasta and sausage. Be sure to stop into the bakery downstairs.

This is such a hidden gem! It has the best Italian goods you can find and is so quaint!!

Amazing sandwiches. Fresh meats and cheeses. Loved it!!

Cant believe Ive lived in the North End a year and not found this place. Great sandwiches!

Best sopressatta in town but not too much more products

Good food but no panini press or grill to heat up sandwiches.

My wife and I went there to get a couple of sandwhiches based on the phenomenal reviews. Its a nice little place tucked at the end of a narrow alley. When you enter there are assorted homemade pasta (for you to cook yourself) a catering menu and the sandwhich menu. The sandwhich menu is pretty simple, about 6 or 8 varieties. My wife ordered the meatball parm and I have the panino ( prosciutto, mozzarella, basil, tomato and olive oil). The prices are extremely reasonable at 8.50 for a full sized meal of a sandwhich. Most importantly they were arguably the best sandwhiches we had ever tasted. Both were absolutely phenomenal, though very different. The panino was light, not guilt inducing, and served cold - perfect for warm weather. The meatball parm, by contrast was a monster of a sandwhich, thick, filling and delicious. Like I said both were excellent. You wont find a better sandwhich place in the north end or even the entirety of Boston.

Atmosphere. Quality of provisions. Great service and top notch lunch sandwich.

My favorite sub shop in Boston. Generous is size and modest in price.

Wonderfully delicious sandwiches on the best bread.

Nostalgic vibes of the traditional Little Italy in New York. Amazing

Best sandwich in the north end!

Fresh deli made sandwiches. Taste great.

Great local Italian deli!

My mom grew up in Naples, and every time we end up in Boston she has to go and pick up the essentials.

Fantastic
