La Grotta Del Formaggio

Best sandwiches ever!!!. It 's been a long time since I was 'in the neighborhood ' on Commercial Drive and Second Avenue; however I had the good luck of being there yesterday and I jumped on the chance to get some heavenly La Grotta Del Formaggio sandwiches bringing them back to the North Shore about an hour trip on the bus from the deli. Any time I bring sandwiches from La Grotta home I am always the hero; and yesterday was no exception.<br/ <br/ Although La Grotta Del Formaggio is a full Italian deli not a 'sandwich shop ' per say they do make the best sandwiches I 've ever had. When I was in Venice Italy there was a deli that had a completely different kind of wonderful sandwich; but La G...

If you’re ever looking for some strange oils, vinegars or even just different Italian cookies this shop is bound to have it! The shelves were stocked with everything imaginable! I decided to drop in for some lunch. The sandwiches here are talked about quite a bit so what better to do than to pick up a sandwich and a coffee and enjoy my afternoon off! I arrived at around 12:30PM and thankfully there was no line up. There was quite a few people working there, stocking shelves, cutting deli meats and making food orders, they all seem to be really busy, but they don’t neglect their customers. I came in and took a look around taking pictures of all their interesting stuff! One of the ladies aroun...

This is a small Italian deli/grocery that's located on The Drive. While they sell a variety of different imported good, they are probably best known for their sandwiches. You pick your bread, fillings, and condiments, and they'll make your sandwich for you. I had a Small Bun with Proscuitto and a Half Focaccia with Mortadella. I wasn't a bit fan of the focaccia, which I found to be a bit dry and grainy, but I really enjoyed the bun. The prices are a bit on the expensive side, but they do come with a generous amount of fillings, so I think it's worth the price.<br/ <br/ Small Bun with Prosciutto $7.75):<br/ 4/5<br/ I had the sandwich with pesto mayo, olive oil and balsamic vinegar, red pepper...

Not for me. While I am a huge sandwich guy, I suppose western style sandwiches are more of my taste... Apologies in advance for the misspelling of all the Italian words lol; I went with a brown half Focaccia, for meat I went with a Rosemary Ham and a Sopprasata, I put lettuce, tomato, onions, peppers, and jalapeno havarti on it, good so far right? Now perhaps I screwed it up when I said ok put those weird pickled eggplant pieces on it, and perhaps I also screwed it up further by saying yes to the balsamic vinaigrette, honey dijon, and chipotle mayo... hey it sounded good! I mean the sandwich was ok, I know if I were to return i could do a bit better of a job lol. All in all though the place...

Best in the city. Now, this is not just a sandwich place, but to be honest that's all that I look at. One of my favorite places for sandwiches in vancouver, i cant pass by commercial drive and NOT enter here. Yeah, my addiction/loyalty or whatever you want to call it is THAT bad. <br/ <br/ Love the paninis and foccacia are my tops on the list. You can choose everything on the menu so make sure you are not a nervous wreck when having to choose the type of cheese, meat, olives you want, lol. The only advise I have here is to keep a place in mind once you purchase your food there is no seating here, the sandwiches are made to go.

This sandwich shop is so good, it's stressful. By this, I mean that there are is so much variety in what you can put in your sandwich that I get flustered! It's like Subway but ten times better and ten times more stressful haha! But this is good. Highly recommend for anyone who wants a harass sandwich.
