It seems a bit paradoxical that a cafe can offer croissants that are somehow both “fresh baked” and 6 days old. I arrived exactly at 8am, when they open, three days in a row, and the baked goods are consistently the texture of an old shoe. On the plus side, they’re also expensive.

A little gem of a food kiosk. Tasty offerings with an Italian bent. Service is well above standard. It's inside the Ellis island casino. Mostly a grab and go setup. Would certainly seek this out again if in the area.

I've been meaning to try this place since it opened. The chef won a sandwich competition at the International Pizza Expo. I had the Parma sandwich. It was amazing! Fresh focaccia bread, with a large and tasty portion of Prosciutto, balanced well with fresh mozzarella cheese, arugula, shaved parmesan, and balsamic glaze. I am sad that my sandwich is already in my belly and there is no more here to eat. I am also sad that I waited this long to try this place. I will never get back all that lost time. All I can say is if you like food with a lot of flavor, you need to try Via Focaccia.

Very good sandwich. A bit pricy but to be expected inside a casino, and in the area near the convention center. Very good sandwich made fresh on excellent focaccia bread! Will definitely be making another trip.

Skip the breakfast sandwiches which have fake scrambled egg patties and gluey cheese and instead order something that made them popular like the lunch sandwiches with Italian meats. The bread is so good! Oh the coffee tasted old to me so I would skip that and get something from the bar. Cheers!

We spent a whole bunch of time at Ellis Island during our stay in Vegas and I can attribute it to their excellent staff, the variety of game play, and these amazing sandwiches! Someone said they're the world's best and I buy it. The brisket pastrami and prosciutto are both incredible and an amazing value. So much bang for your buck right off the strip!

I was very excited to try this place so I made it a a point to try it in my short trip but I was unfortunately disappointed. I might have picked the wrong sandwich as I wanted my cheese to be melty, but really it just tasted like prosciutto and bread. The prosciutto was freshly sliced which I can appreciate, but I could hardly taste the cheese even though there was a good amount and was barely getting the balsamic. I wish I would have tried the pastrami but my rating is based solely on the Parma. I've sadly made sandwiches at home that I have enjoyed more. Also, not their fault, but since it's in the casino, it smelled like smoke and I had to eat it outside on a park bench.
Via Focaccia is a small food stand located in the Ellis Island Casino (near the strip) but it isn't ordinary. This small food stand offers artisanal special focaccia sandwiches by an award wining world sandwich champion. OMGosh these sandwiches truly are amazing! Not all but most of the sandwiches are on the Italian side and a few are vegetarian. My husband tried the Classica (ham, mortadella, capicola, provolone, olive spread). The meats were all high quality. It was delicious and the fresh baked bread was like no other. Here the pastrami sandwich has been reinvented. It's like no other anywhere and is amazing! The flavors all go together incredibly well. And the light airy crispy special focaccia must be tasted to be believed. Life changing sandwiches from a little casual stand in the Ellis Island Casino.

Delicious sandwiches, but quite small for the price. A good option if you happen to be at Ellis Island.

Great value, especially for being located within a casino. We got a salad and the weekly special sandwich, which was about $13 and a good portion size. The sandwich was made in fresh bread with freshly sliced meat. I do wish there was a dedicated seating area, especially one that could be further from cigarette smoke.

I ordered from this place on a whim one day for lunch as I was in the area. I was hesitant to order food from a casino lol but I could tell from the online reviews and pictures that the food was high quality and I was not wrong. My mushroom and mozzarella sandwich was fresh and delicious and not too heavy. They have good cold brew too.
