Italian Sub Shop, Bedford

Vibrant red walls and a caricature of a jolly Italian chef adorn Italian Sub Shop’s space, where customers can step up to counter and order 1 of 10 oven-baked subs. Capicola, mortadella, pepperoni, and italian beef are just a sample of the decadent deli meats that sandwich constructors pile atop white or wheat bread and blanket with cheese. The shop caters to vegetarian appetites with an unlimited salad bar, an italian veggie sub packed with mushrooms and mozzarella, and a peanut-butter-and-jelly sub served with an “I love you!” note from the owner’s mom. Hearty bowls of homemade soups, such as spicy chicken noodle or tomato basil, accompany the hot subs, and cannolis and three types of cookies end meals on a sweet note.
