Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"I usually get a loaded combination (Italian sub), pressed, but today I had their weekly special: broccoli rabe with housemade sausage, melted provolone, and a banana pepper aioli, served warm on a soft, white italian-style hoagie roll. IT WAS SO DELICIOUS. PLEASE PUT IT ON THE REGULAR MENU PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE."
"I feel so fortunate that a friend surprised me with this at work today. The Zucchini Frittata on Focaccia is an absolute masterpiece and easily the best sandwich I’ve ever eaten. On a cold day in the middle of this long, snowy winter, it honestly feels like eating a hearty, filling version of summer. It is also delightfully massive; I’m already counting down the hours until I get to eat the second half for dinner! The photo doesn't do the sandwich justice. I had already started eating it and then realized that it had to be documented."
"Got the large Italian sub $14.59 (ham, salami, capicola, provolone, lettuce & tomato). The garlic pesto butter rub on the seemingly day old bread instead of oil and vinegar was terrible (could be decent on a grilled chicken hero but certainly doesn’t belong anywhere near an Italian grinder). Friendly staff and the order was served quickly."
"I had the Porchetta Sandwich which was really good especially with the salsa verde dressing and the homemade bread. Really think its the homemade bread that makes a big difference. Also had the homemade Tortellini Soup which was outstanding with the grated parmesan cheese. The place was not what I thought of when I first saw it from the episode of Triple D. Thought it would have a lot more Italian Groceries and items in general and more fuller of a look for a deli but overall a good place."
"If you haven’t stopped into the Italian Corner, make a point of it! We were only 8 minutes from our hotel but after getting FOUR sandwiches for the 2 of us on Sunday 4/7; I’d drive farther!! This place was featured on Diners, Drive-In’s and Dive’s and I can see why it was recommended for the show. The team that works here is hardworking and incredibly helpful. I’d like to bottle up their kindness and spread it around. Good Job Team!! The owner – a pure delight!! We did eat one there, as recommended to not wait; good night, it was off the chart, de-li-cious! The Mortadella on Focaccia (#1), I think we need to go back to get a few for the plane ride home. The focaccia is crunchy on the outside but soft on the inside. The Mortadella is some of the best I have had. Major flavor and balance throughout. Monday, we ate one on the way to our next adventure – the Brasato (#25) (which was featured on triple D) and the owner’s go to when he’s hungry. Instead of using the salsa verde dressing it’s the salsa rossa dressing which is the verde plus sundried tomato’s and I can see why people as for that substitution on other sandwiches. Pares beautifully with the beef, fresh lettuce and house made sub buns. My only question, why did we get the small (ha). The (#16), Combo, is a beautiful blend of Ham, Salami, Capicola hot (but not too hot) provolone, fresh lettuce, and tomato. The provolone is not too overpowering. Our least fav, can we say least fav if we ate the whole thing? Lol. Still incredible was the Bresaola (#19), Cured beef tenderloin, truffle oil, arugula, shaved parmigiano. Next time in Providence this will definitely be a place we stop! It’s worth a trip back. Check them out! #ProvidenceRI #GoodFood #ItalianFood #ItalianSubs"
"I needed to set up antipasti plates for a wine tasting event. The owner helped me immensely by suggesting clod cuts and cheeses that would partner well with the wines. Great service! The food is always excellent and authentic!"
"3/2025 - not a 2nd dinner….a lunch at the office. Lasagna A++. Add Trader Joe’s sourdough with butter/garlic powder and cheddar cheese (AirFryer). Delicious lunch. 3/2025 - Chicken picatta over 10 minute bag rice…... Perhaps my new favorite. 3/2025 - Best sandwich of 2025 Slick on-line ordering (Clover) and it was ready BEFORE it was supposed to be. Only ate 1/2 for lunch.....and looking forward to a snack later....... Plus 2 dinners to go for later in the week or to freeze…. This place has been on my list since whenever I saw it on Diners, Drive-ins & Dives….. A+ and TY Kerry for the catering info. 3rd visit….yes Turkey with salsa verde and prosciutto…..my new favorite…."
"Delicious freshly made real Italian sandwiches. I discovered this little mom and pop sandwich shop back in the early 2000's when I worked in East Providence, I use to go on lunch breaks to pick up these delicious fresh sandwiches..I'm talking about when you guys were jusy one half of the building and tiny parking space...now look at you guys! We'll done! The food is still delicious and service is still good!"
