They assured me they would change gloves and use clean equipment to make sure my sandwich didn’t get cross contaminated. Got a corned beef sandwich and didn’t have any issues.

Best Italian subs in New England! Get it with everything. The gluten free subs truly are Celiac safe, also. Top it off with Coke in a glass bottle. So good!

I’ve been there twice at 9am on the button for GF Italian subs and have enjoyed both thoroughly. “Gluten free Italian with everything and extra hots”.

So far, so good. These guys seem to take GF seriously and they only serve boars head deli meats and cheeses (which are all GF I think), so they could be a good source for when you just need a pound a ham or turkey for a weeks worth of sandwiches. Update: we recently tried their GF pizza which my whole family thought tasted pretty gross. It's pretty hard to find a pizza my kids don't like, but this one did it. I'd recommend sticking to the subs.

This deli has amazing gluten free subs!! Their bread is from a gluten free bakery next door, Something Sweet Without Wheat. The bread is soft and delicious. They also make gluten free pizza, meatballs, lasagna, and many more Italian dishes! I highly recommend this place.

So excited to be able to have a sub again!! I've been here at least 10 times- 8 of those times the staff was knowledgeable and friendly and I was able to enjoy a delicious sub without getting sick. The other two times, I was sick as a dog, assuming from cross contamination.
