Tripi

Awesome food, so much better than chains. Meat is fresh and the employees are knowledgeable and friendly. Worth a trip

Came here for a weekday lunch with my wife...needed to try some of those sandwiches everyone's been raving about! Was not busy when we walked in, so service was quick and efficient. We ordered two sammies and a bag of homemade potato chips. They brought us the meal while we sat in the adjoining dining room.The Tuscan turkey sandwich was served on fresh focaccia bread and topped with pesto mayo, mozzarella and arugaula...it was light but very tasty with the zesty mayo countered by the peppery lettuce. The chicken parm sub was easily shareable and of course served hot with a bright tomato sauce and melted provolone cheese. The homemade rosemary potato chips really hit the spot for a salty bite in-between digging into the sandwiches.Glad we finally had the time to pop in and give them a go. Will not be our last time there!

I saw the Italian sandwich on Insta featured in 'Best Sandwiches in Cleveland'. The list is no lie.I was so excited to find Tripi open around dinnertime so we popped in.The wedding soup was very good. We also shared a pepperoni roll and it was nice and stuffed.The crown jewel was the Italian sandwich. Peppers, muffulata, AND giardinera??! Yes please. The bread was fresh and delicious- I was pleased to find out they bake it themselves! Quality meats and cheeses and perfectly constructed. The staff was super friendly and walked us through our options before we ordered. It's not a huge menu- which I love. That tells me they do a handful of foods and they do them well. Prices were on par with similar shops.I don't normally directly compare small businesses, but there are clear reasons why I will likely visit Tripi over another popular sandwich shop in close proximity:1) the hours2) the availability3) the dining room Can't wait to visit again and try more deliciousness. The pizza looked and smelled so good.

Tripi Italian is now OPEN as of Thursday, 22 June 2023.The owner also owns Lox, Stock, and Brisket and the Rice Shop.SOLD OUT -- I arrived on a Friday afternoon at 2pm, a day after their grand opening, to find them sadly closed. I will try again another day but from a customer service perspective, at least they left a note on their front door about being sold out for the day.I came back the next day, on Saturday, 24 June and they were open. They opened at 11:30am and I arrived after 12:00noon. They got busy as I left around 12:40pm. FOOD (3.5/5) -- They have sandwiches and pasta dinners for $11. They also sell a salami sandwich for $13. There are soft drinks (soda), juices, and water bottles in a fridge for sale as well. Water is $1 for a bottle. I ordered the Italian sausage sandwich ($11) without peppers and without onions. The sausage was slightly spicy which I loved. The Italian sausage sandwich came with mozzarella cheese and a tomato sauce. I don't like eating cheese but the mozzarella was good. I didn't get sauce in my sandwich but later on, I asked someone to get me sauce on the side which made the sandwich taste a bit better because the BREAD was so hard. I could hardly eat the while sausage sandwich because the bread was almost rock hard. VIBE -- This is a casual Italian restaurant that feels more like a cafe. I love the colourful photo frames on the wall too.Overall, if you love pasta and sandwiches then come and try this new restaurant.****- 72/150 total reviews in 2023- 623 total overall Yelp reviews- Reviewed on 23 June 2023 (edited on 24 June 2023)

Great spot for a sandwiches/salad/pasta. We've had everything on the menu, and the sandwiches here are without question some of the best in the city.Consistent food made in house. Service is always top notch. They are happy to answer all sorts of questions about the food.

The Italian sandwich's here hit the spot. Having spent the last 3 decades of my life in Brooklyn I miss the small Italian sand which shops that were no frills. Tripi provides that and more. I got the eggplant parm sandwich and holy ish, it was good. I was skeptical about there tomato sauce as anyone would be but THE TOMATO SAUCE IS THE BOMB. The whole sandwich hit home and for $10 on a hero semolina contraption it was worth every penny. Service was super friendly and I def suggest you going. The side salad was also a light treat! THIS PLACE HITS HOME, AMAAZINNNGGG!!

The attention to detail of the prepared Italian sandwich is superior, no surprise that this place is owned by a Chef with deep Italian roots. Service is great and the ambiance is very welcoming like an Authentic Italian restaurant should be!

I'll eat anything that Anthony Zappola makes, so I was excited to check out his new spot in Ohio City, marking his triumphant return to the west side since leaving the Ohio city Galley years ago. Trust me when I tell you that Tripi does not disappoint.This is a casual spot where the food is bonkers-level good. It's got a sort of decades-ago vibe about it in a good way, in the way that characters from The Sopranos used to sit outside an Italian deli all day every day. It's also enormous, with lots of seating and space for parties and events, too. You could easily have a birthday or anniversary party here (and Zappola wants you to! It's rentable!) The chicken Parmesan sandwich is simple but perfectly done -- and hearty, too, with leftovers for lunch tomorrow. The biggest, baddest sandwich on the menu is the Papa Tony, four kinds of meat, cheese, lettuce and Italian dressing on fresh-baked crusty bread. And leave room for dessert, which is incredible -- cannoli, cookies, little pies in cups (get the cheesecake!). Honestly, everything here is just very straightforwardly delicious. It's clear that it's a labor of love for its owner, and it's a delight to enjoy his food.

Good sandwich. Healthy Salad options. Friendly staff. Affordable coffee. Nice cafe seating area. No complaints.

The chicken cutlet and prosciutto sandwich was incredible. The type of sandwich where you close your eyes and say a prayer during your first bite. The sandwich that makes you take your shoes off and wiggle your toes. Praise god. I would have taken a picture but I didn't have the patience to put it down. Very happy this place opened up and it's so close to me in Ohio City. I shall be back.
