Alimentari

I'm unsure about giving this place a good review because it would mean they might be out of sandwiches when I get there... the sandwiches... they are... SO GOOD!

Such a cool Italian inspired spot off of Monroe. We wanted to try out their sandwiches and were not disappointed. The pork porchetta was unreal. I highly recommend it to anyone who's obsessed with goat cheese like myself. We also ordered the pastrami and Swiss but realized after we got home they forgot to add the cheese. I will say, although the bread was delicious, it was a bit thick for my personal sandwich preferences.We showed up at peak lunch hours on a Saturday, so granted it was packed. However, there is so many packaged Italian items to browse through inside and even a dedicated wine and liquor corner. This definitely helps pass the time and we will be returning in the future now that I know all the ingredients they offer.

Stopped in to their new location-love it's closer to my house. More space in their new spot. Same ordering system-order at counter and once you receive your sandwich, pay at the register. While it is still top 3 in Madison, I'm dropping my rating a star for their pastrami sandwich. The sliced meat is way too fatty to be served cold. It was rather one note and the cold fat coated my tongue and teeth. I would recommend it served hot. Of course, I'll still come back. Just avoid that option.

Really enjoyed this sandwich! The protein was very high quality as well as all the ingredients. I got the prosciutto and it was magical! Bread was also very good! Overall so tasty and fresh!

This store was so cute, I really loved all the products you can get here! My partner is a regular here to get their sandwiches, and all the staff I've met are so friendly. Along with our sandwiches, I also got a balsamic vinegar and a fennel pollen/lavender goat cheese, which were both lovely on a salad I had this week.- banh mi (6.5/10): twas a good sandwich, the proportions are pretty huge, all the ingredients tasted really fresh and I enjoyed all the pickled veg. The only thing I disliked was that the pork was very salty which made it difficult to eat the whole thing-- however, important to note that my partner recommended this sandwich to me and said that it wasn't this salty when he got it so it's possible the saltiness was just a fluke that day!Overall, would come back to try more sandwiches (especially the porchetta w/ apple and fennel) and buy more goods, it had a lovely small business vibe that I would love to continue to support!

The new location is great! The sandwiches are amazing as always and they have a great selection of fresh made pastas and other fun Italian finds. I had the mortadella and a pistachio cannoli, it was amazing! I haven't stopped thinking about it. The staff is friendly and very helpful. We will be back often!!!

The most fresh and delicious sandwiches! I stopped in during a weekday to grab a sandwich for lunch. It was order at the counter, grab and go style. The location is great being right off Willy Street. It's close to everything and has a parking lot. After I placed my order at the counter it only took about 5 minutes for them to make my sandwich. I got the prosciutto sandwich. It was so very good! It was big so I could have split it with someone. The bread, mozzarella, tomatoes, and arugula were so fresh. It had a little bit too much meat for me but overall a great sandwich. The balsamic and oil dressing added good flavor. Not only is it a great place to grab a sandwich but it's a mini Italian grocery store. The space is well organized and clean. It was fun looking at all of their cheese, meats, wine, etc. It was hard for me to not get a pint of gelato! The homemade pasta looked incredible as well. I need to stop back in and get some of their grocery items.

It smells so delicious when you walk in. There's a variety of jams, pastas, meats, and frozen items. I ordered the meatball sub and the porchetta. It took about 5-10 minutes (granted, I think I beat the lunch rush because whole flock of people walked in after).The meatball sub: omg there were at least 5 very large meatballs. Every time I had a bite, a meatball was falling out of the sub - this is just to highlight that they ARE NOT skimping. This is a sub I'd get if I'm eating it right away. So hearty, flavorful. Would totally split this again with someone. I was so stuffed halfway eating this.Porchetta: the apples add a nice sweet addition. If you're looking for something savory with a hint of sweetness.I loved the bread. Would come back for the trout or basically any other sub!Cannoli: crispy outside, my favorite comment about a dessert: it wasn't too sweet (*this is a good sign*). I think there were hints of lemon in the filling.

This is a small fancy shop with a lot of great products. I came to get a sandwich for lunch. I got a beef roast sandwich and it was excellent. It had a wasabi kind of a spicy kick to it. And it was really hot. If you dont like spicy food may be its not for you. They had 4 flavors of home made gelato, from which I took 3 - spumoni, pistachio and caramel pie. It was really good. I also took a Barons gelato (lavander london fog flavor). That was a good try as well. Saw Mayana chocolate for the first time, so got a mayan spice bar flavor chocolate. Loved it. It had a center of caramel and some spiciness to it. Took amara falso non alcoholic cocktail, it was a little bitter for me. And had a ginger kick. Over all everything from here was good.
