Lacagnina’s Italian Deli

Having been there innumerable times compare to when I wrote my first review, I have a much different view of the food here than I did then. One thing is that their bread, although different from a DiBellas style roll) is top notch especially when toasted.
Second is that the specials are usually interesting (Cuban, beef on week etc) and chicken salads are solid (rotating varieties). The regular deli meats are fine but very rarely does a deli meat standout. Service is very friendly and as others have mentioned, calling ahead is smart as they do get busy. Now this isn’t the deli of my dreams by any means but it is a good weekday lunch option in the Lyell Ave area that is worth a visit.

Well I usually don’t eat lunch, but today the contractor I was working with was having a bad day (not my equipment, thankfully) and said «I’m taking a break».
So I pulled up local stuff on the GPS and after the first false find saw Lacagina’s.
Small place in a strip mall, easy to miss, but I found it.
Lots of choices, but I was feeling basic (and not really hungry) so went with a traditional ham and cheese.
Very basic, but just what I wanted. Ham, cheese, lettuce, tomato, mustard on a roll. I only ate half of the small.
Medium sized interior. Sort of weird to go service (you order at the sandwich making table and pay at the cashier), but nice and clean and very friendly service.
I’d go back.
Forgot to say: great potato salad.

Lacagnina’s is a quaint little place located in a strip shopping center. It’s convenient and I typically drop in about once a month during lunch. You’ll have to look to find it, even after entering the strip center parking area. I like Lacagnina’s. For subs and sandwiches, Lacagnina’s is different. The breads are always fresh and soft. The daily and weekly specials are creative and always on the mark. The portions are plentiful and the staff really cares. They treat you like family. Want something not on the menu? No problem. Like it heated? No problem. That’s how they roll.
Lacagnina’s will never make the list of Roc’s Best. And unless recommended, you can drive by for months without noticing it. But, if in the neighborhood and wanting a great sandwich without all the people and frills, you should stop in. You’ll be welcomed and you’ll leave pleasantly surprised.

Call ahead to order because they are very busy at lunch time. Ask about the specials, they’re usually awesome! The Cuban is awesome!

Lacagnina’s is walking distance from my work place, and it has become one of my favorite lunch places to visit. I believe that it is a family owned business, and they make their customers feel like part of the family.
The soups and subs are great here, and they often have featured specials. My favorite subs are the hot pastrami, the chicken salad sandwich, and my biggest guilty pleasure: the hot roast beef sandwich with bacon, spinach and bleu cheese. Savory. Mouthwatering. Goodness.
