Love this place! Haven't had a bad thing on the menu. My only wish would be to have them open on weekends since it's not often I can get over there on my lunch. I guess that makes it that much more of a treat when I can though.

This is a fantastic deli/eatery. They are so clean and this time of the year festive. The sandwiches are packed with meat and are so fresh. They have 3 choices of bread, roll, sourdough, and Dutch crunch. I recommend dutch crunch 100% of the time. It is soooo soft and delicious. Prices aren't bad. $16.99 for a sandwich with a drink and a side. I chose the chips and cookie, but they have different salads to choose from. They all looked good. They are very pleasant, greeting you when you walk in, and thanking you when you leave. Worth a visit.

The place was packed at 11:30am. We stood in line for 7 minutes and got out to go order in 5 minutes. They were quick and nice. My husband got a ridiculous sandwich and they got it all spot on. The tables were clean and there was a lot of space.

Delicious Greek sandwich and soup. We split a sandwich. The sandwich and soup were so good. Love the casual ambiance too. The coffee was so so. We love coming here and supporting a local restaurant.

Loved the food here when i used to be able to go on my lunch breaks. Haven't been able to go in years because they aren't open any time i'm off. But I still think about this place after 4 years of not being able to order.

The Best Sandwich shop in the Reno/Sparks area. Why? Because they offer gluten-free bread. At this restaurant, you are given a choice of which gluten-free bread you would like. Imagine that! If you are not gluten-free then you have no idea. Yes, other shops have gluten-free bread and I can only describe the bread as not very good or often stale. But not here. The bread is outstanding. Imagine my surprise when the waitress asked what kind of Gluten-Free bread I wanted. Oh my goodness. I was overjoyed and excited. I asked her which bread she would recommend for an egg salad. She highly suggested the Rosemary Focaccia. All the staff was friendly and knowledgeable. I loved looking at all the choices in the deli counter. In fact, this restaurant reminds me of the incredible Bagel shops in New York City. Yep, they are that good. I chose Rosemary Focaccia due to her recommendation. The focaccia tasted homemade and fresh. The bread is so flavorful, crusty on the outside and so tender on the inside. I got the egg salad sandwich. It was spectacular. I got it with everything except cheese. Hints of rosemary and the egg salad blended so well together. It was a huge sandwich. I can't rave about this sandwich enough. As I think about it, my mouth is watering. There is no skimping on fillings here. The sandwiches are huge. My husband had an Egg Salad sandwich on a Dutch Crunch roll. Dutch Crunch used to be my favorite bread for egg salad. But, I can honestly say, I didn't miss having this bread. He loved his sandwich as well. We got fries with our sandwiches. We asked for them to be extra crispy which is exactly what we received. The fries went well with our sandwiches. They have a large inside dining room with more tables outside. The restaurant and bathrooms are clean. Every so often someone came around to clean and wipe down the tables and floor if needed. We can't wait to go back to this restaurant. I would especially like to thank them for giving those of us who are gluten-free a choice in sandwich bread. Thank you! Incidentally, if you are looking for a caterer, I highly recommend this business.

The food here is AMAZING. I was working across the street at the hospital for a week and I wasn't aware of this awesomeness until I talked to one of the nurses. Her face told me everything I needed to know. And she starts telling me more. She's having them cater her wedding bc she loves the food so much. I ran over there so fast and cursed myself for not eating here every day I was in town for work. I fell in love with the meatball sub. I love meatball subs in general and she told me that it was amazing and that's all I needed to know. But I was not prepared for how awesome this was. They don't cut the sub in half or make a u-shaped cut to put the meatballs inside of the bread. They hollow out the inside of the bread and put the meatballs inside so they're encased in the bread and have no way of falling out. OH MY GAWD. WHY ISN'T EVERYONE THIS???? It was the most perfect sub with the most perfect delivery. I was in love. I came back the next day to get the beef sandwich per another nurse's recommendation and another winner. Oh man. This is my last day in town and I almost wept because I couldn't eat here again the next day. But I will be back at the end of June for a few days and I will be eating here everyday when I can.

I've enjoyed Paisan's so many times, in so many places, but I haven't been in the actual restaurant since they opened in the new location many years ago. As catering, Paisan's kills the game with big platters filled with stacked sandwiches, fresh salads, and of course, the infamous meatballs! As takeout, this is another ace with easy ordering, fast pick up, and consistent quality. This restaurant is more than meets the eye and I can't believe it took me so long to actually GO IN! You can see how busy they are from the street on any given day, but the frontage does not even begin to hint at the massive operation just inside the doors. The dining room is HUGE, and at lunch it's a total vibe with all sorts of groups coming together for casual lunches and business meetings. There's a long counter at the front where you place your order, behind which is a narrow windo pass that leads into the kitchen. If you look close enough you can see just how big this kitchen is and that will tell you exactly how much they do in business. I ordered the Nonna's Pot Roast sandwich on focaccia and enjoyed it quite a bit. The focaccia was the star here. It looked and tasted house made, crusty on the outside and tender inside, it really held the whole thing together. The pot roast was tender, veggies fresh, and the horseradish spread had a nice bite, but from the description I was picturing something a little different. I love pot roast sandwiches with super juicy and fall apart meat, and that's what I thought this would be, but instead it was more like a 1/2 inch thick slice of cold pot roast on the bread with the rest of the toppings mentioned, and in my opinion it could've benefitted from a bit more of the meat to balance the ratio to bread. I'd still order it again, but personally I'd love to see it as that slowly braised pot roast and jus with melty cheese because the bread they use is really good and it would soak it all up! The turkey lasagna soup was the winner though. I liked being able to add a cup to my meal as a side in the combo for around $15. They had a few soups on offer and all sounded good, and this could bring me back too! All in all, 4.5 stars for this sandwich and catering shop with good reason. They deserve all the praise and love and I'm looking forward to more meals here in the future!
