You all gotta try the Porchetta French Dip $13, it’s so AMAZING! I went on Sat 2/25/17 for dinner and there were a a couple guys as customers but that was it, Sad to see so many people waiting in line at other restaurants when this place was empty.
The porchetta sandwich has lots of juicy meat, some a bit fatty, on Acme bread, smear of pesto if you want it, some pickles on the side and Au Jus in a cup. You can dip the sandwich or just drink the salty broth.
It’s so good I ate the whole thing!

Looks good! I had the porchetta sandwich at Barzotto last week and it was very good as well with crispy skin and tender flavorful meat. It’s served on their house-made focaccia.
I just want to second this recommendation. The Porchetta French Dip is outrageously good. Nice side of spicy homemade pickles. Horseradish came on the side too but my office mate who did the pick up accidentally used it all so I didn’t get to try it on my sandwich, but I didn’t feel like anything else was needed.
Thanks for posting about this place. Had an excellent porchetta sandwich from here. Very tender fatty medium sliced herb scented pork with a garlicky pesto spread. Good bread that was crusty but not cut your mouth crusty. Jus tasted like a salty beef broth, used it as a dip. The crunchy pickled cucumbers and peppers on the side provided a nice contrast between bites of the sandwich. One thing that maybe could make it even better is some crispy skin, which it did not have.
Had not been in a few months so went back today and a co-worker and I split the porchetta and new menu item pastrami and cheese. Porchetta flavor was as good as before (came with arugula pesto) as was the jus, but the meat was super skimpy, maybe half the amount shown in most pictures and no pickles. Pastrami was terrible, dry stringy and not much flavor. Besides the pastrami there were a couple other new sandwiches - meat ball, beef tongue and another I forgot. They also added an eggplant parmesan, side of escargot, some pastas. Feels like they are losing their focus.
