I go every week and the girls there are awesome...especially the younger ones ;) The sandwiches are absolutely amazing. They give you so many toppings and for a dollar more REAL roast beef...OMG HEAVEN! They have the BEST roast beef in the city, it has no preservatives and all natural so if you're concerned about the salty meats this makes a great option. I also love your picture. They really don't mind if you take a picture. If you ask the younger girls they'll pose for you holding bread or coffee pots. They're really busy on the weekends so they try and rush so if you feel like you're being rushed and pushed to order...you probably are. But no worries because once you order your sandwich you are free to wonder the store and their drink selection is astonishing as well. Lots of local drinks and imported ones from Italy. They even have non-alcoholic beer! Don't forget to check out their Olive Oil wall and when you order this fantastic sandwich, if you're still confused after the line-up, they ask you EVERYTHING so just answer the girls' questions and you'll be fine! :) My only con to this place is they close a bit early. 5:30pm everyday except Sunday - Sundays they close at 5:00pm. They close the doors and sandwich bar on the dot and it sucks for them trying to make a sandwich after that because they have to stay an extra 20 minutes to clean up for ONE sandwich. I didn't know this until I went and pleaded for a sandwich and watched from outside as they had to redo everything for me. (So sweet) They sterilize everything every night so to take the time to re-do their meat slicer and the cutting board- turn on the grills and do whatever they need to do it's quite a nuisance for them. So if you're late don't even try. Imagine if you were trying to get out of that place after a whole day of being there...yeah, it would suck. I conclude this with BEST Sandwich PLACE EVER and don't go there late and The whole foccacia is THE BEST GRILLED! NOM NOM NOM NOM -Dennis Henriquez- P.S. Hey La Grotta Girls, I told you I'd write a comment on here! :) La Grotta is the best place to get sandwiches for sure!

I love the pics you took of La Grotta. I'm starting up a blog on shopping local on Commercial Drive. Would I be able to use one or two of the above? I would credit the photos with a link to your site and/or your name. Whatever you prefer. Completely agree with you on the sandwich choices…La Grotta and Finch’s are my two faves.
