L'Appetito

This has really good pastries! It's grab and go. But it's a very nice small store. The coconut macaroons are the beast.

Horrible service by the lady manager. I came early to place an order. I requested if there was a new badge of the garden salad with the olives, tomatoes, cheese and oils. The young guy helping me went to ask the manager in the back. The reason why I asked for a new badge was because the left over from the days before was already bad, cucumber was already soggy and looked gooey. The young guy came back from the back and stated that the manager said this had to be finished first. How can a chef or a manager not service and give bad food to a paying customer. I will not shop there any more and it's sad because I work in the building.

A nice deli near where I work a variety of sandwiches chili everyday. The sandwiches are so good. They also have a daily pasta and cold salads and composed salads like tuna and chicken salad. The artichokes and mushrooms are refreshing.Service can be slow but overall a great lunch spot!

I look for a good Italian sandwich anywhere I travel and this spot came up in my Yelp search and seemed super promising. Not only do they have sandwiches and hot foods, but they also sell cookies and coffee drinks.We stepped into the small store and there's a front counter where you can order cookies or drinks, some items along the wall including cold drinks and sodas and then the sandwich counter in the back along with sides and hot foods like pizza and pasta.We started at the back and ordered a turkey sandwich and their "Tony's Bomba". Both sandwiches were ready quickly and had a good amount of toppings.Up front we grabbed a few cookies and I ordered a coffee and paid for all our items.We found a table in their small seating area easily and my coffee was out pretty quickly.The Tony's Bomba was a good sized sandwich with capicola, salami, mortadella, provolone, lettuce, tomatoes, olive oil, vinegar and Italian spices on a tomato focaccia that we deemed "pizza bread". I could only eat half but it was delicious.My coffee was also great, nice and hot and the perfect amount of sweetness.On top of the tasty food all the staff members were really nice. I would definitely return.

Delish! Had a taste for something different. I've walked by here for years but never stopped in this small grocery/cafe. Glad I tried it today. I ordered a Turkey panini. One sandwich is more the size of two. Cooked to perfection. I added a small dish of Gorgonzola potato salad. The perfect thing to accompany my sandwich. There are a few tables inside plus a few out on the sidewalk. Enough for me. Total cost including tax $11. Pretty good price for this area. Next time I'm hungry for a good sandwich I'll remember to stop here.

I'm a "Trick" for a good Italian Cafe! In every city I've ever lived in or frequented I always had my go-to Italian deli.In L.A. it was Domingos in the Tarzana neighborhood In New York it's Faiccos Italian Specialties in the West Village In San Francisco I love Molinari Deli on Telegraph Hilland this list goes on!Up until today I was missing an Italian Cafe / Deli in Chicago A picnic dinner in Millennium Park for a Jazz Festival last night brought me to L'Appetito's here on the Gold Coast, and I now have my Chicago rendition of what I needed for Italian sandwiches L'Appetito is this small, quaint sandwich shop and more. They have beautiful salads, fantastic Hero's, incredible Panini and robust subs.We ordered:* Turkey Panini - with all natural turkey breast, creamy havarti cheese, homemade pesto mayo, on grilled rustic Italian bread - Great!* Caesar Salad - this classic salad had romaine lettuce, chicken breast, parmigiano and croutons - Thumbs way uo!* Parma Hero - with imported prosciutto, fresh mozzarelle, tomatoes basil and an evoo dressing - Loved This* Italian Cookies by the pound were just fantasticThe staff here at L'Appetito couldn't have been nicer and more professional. My 18 months here in Chicago has been a culinary wonderland. The foods I have run into and the people (owners, cooks, staff) handling this food couldn't have been more lovely. L'Appetito is just this continuing love affair I am having with this city and its provisions.

The best almond cookies I've ever had in my life! So chewy and amazing with the chocolate corner! Yum! Can't beat a good Italian sub as well. Grazie

True rating 2.5 but I'll edge it closer to a 3 than a 2. Went with the Italiano, just the most default sandwich of all time. When you're working with more lettuce than meat, you got a problem. Dece hoagie, I'll say that, but rest was a joke.Sandwiches are rated on the universal meat to sandwich ratio (Ted Flask TM). L'Appetito ranks 10%, deplorable.

Small corner store right across from St. James Episcopal Cathedral. I stopped in when I was walking to my car after my doctor's appointment a few blocks away. They had exactly what I needed, though when I went in some areas seemed a bit bare. But I'm assuming that's in large part related to various shortages, since I was here in December 2021 when the pandemic was still wreaking havoc on lots of unexpected facets of life.They have an area where you can sit and have food if you order from the sandwich bar or whatever. They also have a lot of bakery items, though I didn't purchase any. If they carried my favorite Lemon Soda (that's what it's called) from Italy, I'd make it a point to stop there. They have some things that can be useful from a corner store so sure, I'd stop in again if I was nearby.

El día de ayer 30 de junio fui como regularmente voy a este establecimiento ya que me queda cerca a mi trabajo, y que decepción con el servicio al cliente que están ofreciendo, me atendió una señora que no tuvo un buen día me imagino, porque ordené 4 sándwiches y solo en uno de ellos le expliqué que quería retirar el huevo porque no me gusta y me contestó que no podía hacer eso porque se me iba a cobrar extra, es en serio? Yo no quería nada extra al contrario quería retirar un ingrediente pero me dijo que no, que no había "sustituciones " le expliqué nuevamente, no quiero substituir nada solo no quiero huevo en mi sándwich y no lo quiso hacer, den mejor entrenamiento a su personal para ser un poco flexibles con el cliente y más aún con un cliente habitual. Gracias esto sucedió más o menos a las 3.20pm
