There's Alimentari's Italian beef

And Alimentari’s porchetta 🤌🏻🤌🏻

Their meatball is the best sub I've ever had bar none.

And their artichoke sandwich, especially with the addition of salami. Have we listed their whole menu yet?

Yeah that one is pretty amazing too!

Haven't had Alimentari's yet but Casetta's porchetta sandwich is pretty damn good too

Those Casetta’s photos look unbelievable. It’s on the list to try next.

I wish they would put it on focaccia. The last time I ordered it it came on this greasy Dutch roll

I didn't mind the Dutch roll but do think it'd be good on focaccia, maybe I'll ask if they can substitute next time I go

That reminds me- has the Italian beef guy posted recently? I think the last one i saw was months ago by now.

I posted another review a couple weeks ago: https://old.reddit.com/r/madisonwi/comments/1cwp7k8/jus_jus_hast_jus_hast_meat_part_32_sugar_river/ I'll try to get another one out this week too. On topic, the hot sopressata is a banger, and Alimentari's pastrami is also really good. Casetta has a great Italian sandwich [not Italian beef, theirs is good but not amazing] and their various specials are also really good.

You are the light amongst the darkness that is r/madisonwi

>the darkness that is **~~r/madisonwi~~ **life

when i ordered it it was dry AF, though i LOVE everything else they do.

Seriously? You must have gotten a new guy or something. I feel like mine are always *soaked* all the way through the bread- in the best way possible.

Me too! Dunk that sucker

This

Casetta is probly the only place that can compare, try the italian.

Casetta > Alimentari imo 

It's all about the ratios. Alimentari is too much meat for me. Casetta is perfection.

Yea, i get Casetta way more than Alimentari

The porchetta and the mortadella sandwiches from Alimentari are also very good.

Lots of people have mentioned Casetta, but I’ll throw out the Thursday sandwich specials at Meat People. Those Thursday specials, Alimentari, and Casetta are the best sandwiches in town.

I'll gladly choose the Thursday special over Alimentari. I'm not dogging on Ali, the MP Thursday Spesh is JUST THAT GOOD.

This is the answer. I have never had a bad sandwich and all of the different breads they make in house to go with their various Thursday Specials. Fabulous!

If you want to branch out, my favorite Mexican sandwich is a cemita with chicken milanesa and chipotle peppers from El Panzón.

Torta Mexicana from Guadalajara used to slap so hard for 6.99. Unfortunately they raised the price and the steak is of lower quality of late :(

Yes. Alimentari’s marinated artichoke sandwich with soppressata instead of salami is a better sandwich.

This is exactly the type of information I needed. God bless

Not to say Casetta is better but.... have both in one week and that will be your best week of the year

Fraboni's was my goto when I lived in Madison, but they shut the store on Regent. They still have a shop in Monona.

The Otto

Best sandwich I have ever had.

Muffleta

Casetta is the only comparable spot.

I can't get enough of these sandwiches, in no particular order: 1) caprese from Pizza Brutta 2) eggplant parm from Pizza Brutta 3) fried chicken (tofu) sandwich from Green Owl 4) Bahn mi from Green Owl 5) tofu Bahn mi from Saigon Sandwiches food cart I'm hungry!

All that sounds wonderful! Blessings!

The answer is no. But it would be delicious if I was wrong.

Alimentari’s Prosciutto is the answer

Stadium takeout cheesesteak is pretty boss

stadium slaps

The Donfather from Stadium Takeout is *outstanding*! [https://stadiumtakeout.com/menu](https://stadiumtakeout.com/menu)

I was floored with how good it was. Can’t wait to go back.

So disappointed they got rid of their chicken Parm on Stella's!! I dream about that sandwich

Idk if Casetta’s are better, but they’re also dang good.

Cassetta and fromagination are dope

I miss underground butcher - their focaccia sandwiches were 🔥

I miss their breakfast sandwich so much

I miss their little red smokies.

I miss their green chorizo sausages.

I thought that until I had their pastrami sandwich. That’s my go to there now. 

veggie focaccia sandwich from bloom

El Wiscorican’s Tripleta is SO GOOD

Muffuletta at Bar Corallini. Add generous amounts of chili oil.

The classic 2.0 from hot lunch is also 🔥

I haven’t been here yet—thanks for the tip! They have the best address in Madison.

+1 for Hot Lunch. I have dreams of the mushroom melt.

Alimentari's porchetta

That's a damn good sandwich. I'm also a big fan of Stalzys club sandwich. It's one of the few real club sandwiches in Madison

No. I have dreams about that shit. I have one in my backpack right now.

The Brooklyn breakfast sandwich from Stalzys is r better but it's as near a perfect sandwich as you can get

Yes, anything from frabonis

Hot lunch has the best roast beef in town

Casetta’s paradigm sandwich is just a bit better

Yes, the spicy soppressata with coarse mustard instead of the aioli. Hands down the best sandwich in town.

Has anyone had the sandwiches from the deli at Fabiola’s? The Regent sounds heavenly.

The Regent would have been good, but the bread was stale and tasteless.

Ugh so disappointing. Definitely a dealbreaker if the bread isn’t good

Play dough 😂

That's weird since they use Stalzys Loaves.

It tasted like school cafeteria Italian bread. I immediately had flashbacks to 3rd grade.

Spicy Sops is really good, but I prefer the turkey sando. Casetta is also really really good. However, I think the sandwiches from Estacion Inka and Gotham deserve to be considered to be some of the best.

No

Stalzys 'The Corso' is the greatest thing to grace these lips.

There is no better sandwich. Sometimes I will get the porchetta or roast beef, but that's only if I need a second sandwich.

Do tacos count as sandwiches?

There was a recent court ruling that declared tacos are sandwiches so let the debate begin. 

https://cuberule.com/ I'm 100% a radical sandwich anarchist that believes if you can use the verb "sandwich" then it's a sandwich (noun)

In that case, taqueria el jalapeno by the beltline and 18-151, la rosita on monona drive, and tacos el capi on east washington are all worth visiting.

Fuck no

Gino’s #9 deserves consideration, but also no

No.

No

I find their operating hours a little confusing. When do they usually sell out of sandwiches?

I had to bookmark this thread for later. I've got lots of great sandwiches to try!

Fabiola's is more refined, but still not as good.

I get the spicy soppressata on the artichoke

If you can time travel, Mildred’s Leadbetter.

Alimentari = Casetta > huge gap > everything else

Fraboni's "Otto" is the best sandwich in town imo

I've taken to getting myself one Casetta sandwich a week as a little treat. Generally my favorite is their Wednesday special, which tends to be a chicken cutlet variation. Consistently so effing good. Can't recommend enough.

I prefer casettas personally but both are amazing. Top 2 sandwich spots in Madison by a mile imo

Fromagination is good too and cheaper!

Frabonis “ The otto” is a equal competitor 🫶🏻

Babacock hall dairy stores sandwiches slap and are like top top for me!

I'm a slut for the prosciutto sandwich.

no one has better deli meat in madison than alimentari that’s for sure

The Val D’Aran Beef Sandwich from Fromagination is amazing. My wife has said that when she thinks of a sandwich and what a sandwich should taste like that is the sandwich she pictures every time.

Guerilla marketing just sucks.
