I usually don’t go out of my way to eat at sandwich shops, but this was quite good. The star of the sandwich was the focaccia, which was both very soft and had a strong, herbal and olive oil taste. The quality of the rest of the was very good, and everything came together very well. The soup is also very interesting. It had a very creamy flavor, though I found it a little bit undersalted. Then again, this is no issue because I just added a little bit of salt myself. The staff were also very friendly, and made for a good dining experience. For both the full sandwich and the soup, the cost came to around 18 (incl. tax). Luckily though, you can get a half sandwich for exactly half the price of a full sandwich, which is a practice I wish more shops did. For most people, a full sandwich or a half sandwich and a cup of soup will be a filling lunch. Overall, I was very satisfied with the experience. I’ll be looking forward to trying this place out again in the future.

Amazing selection of gluten free items. Julie spoiled us with a sample of their 5 different gf soup selections. I loved the cauliflower crust pizza. It was the most pizza tasting and texture pizza I've enjoyed for quite awhile. All of the staff was friendly. The food fantastic! Our gluten person agreed that everything was tasty. But if you're gluten free and haven't been there- you should!

A friend of mine used to get sandwiches from this place and they looked & smelled so good, fast forward 2 years and I was in the neighborhood and saw the Zuppa Cucina and went in and ordered a sandwich & small salad. The food had good flavor and price was reasonable, service was fast and friendly. This is now my 3rd time coming here. There’s a good variety on the menu, I wish they would do more combo offers in the future. I’m definitely a fan

Whenever we come here, we get the smoked turkey ciabatta and the three onion potato soup and it’s always amazing and delicious and wonderful and fantastic

The best soup I've ever had. Delicious doesn't quite describe it. It's absolutely heavenly. Everything's so fresh. I'll definitely forever sing their praises

Amazing Italian style sandwiches, AMAZING! Worth a trip out of your way for a solid lunch or dinner. Ate the food too fast and forgot to get photos but will take some next time ;)

Ordered a pizza for dinner. Was very good. Cracker thin crust. I love it that way. Plenty of cheese and toppings. The kids running the place were all polite and able to answer any questions. We went in there to celebrate my friends birthday with a group of 6. Everything went very smooth ordering. Definitely a good soup and sandwich shop. My best friend traveled all the way from Rosemount for the wild rice soup. Nothing gout raves.

Best salad I’ve ever had! Great price for the large option; plenty in the chicken Caesar to fill you up by itself. Looking forward to trying other things on their menu. Great lunch spot!
