I grew up with this shop, and it's just timelessly delicious. Best sandwiches and nicest staff in the free world. The Italian subs are their hallmark, but the other sandwiches are all terrific. They're stuffed to bursting with meats and cheeses, and very tasty combinations. Their to-go dinners are amazing. The picatta, lasagna, sauces, pepperoni rolls...not a bad meal to be had. Get the alfredo or sausage sauce and you'll not be sorry. The grocery part of the shop boasts selective imports from Italy, always a fun stop. Come for lunch, and pick up dinner. Greatest place in Vienna.And get the cannoli.

Just tried this place out for the first time last week. Now I can't help myself from going almost everyday. I tried their parma, pompeii, naples subs, and their meat lasagna so far. Very impressed with their rich flavors, quality and portions. Their hot peppers and the red sauce on the side really seals the deal. Great customer service and great food, what more can you ask for. Best subs in vienna hands down.

Great sandwich. It was hefty and all the ingredients were well balanced. The sweet and hot peppers were fantastic and the bread was fresh and

We recently got catering for a 125 person event. The sandwiches were good. The cookie trays were great! And we appreciated the containers of condiments on the side so people could dress their own sandwiches. Was exactly what we wanted. Catering can be so overcomplicated and expensive, but not at Italian Gourmet. Was exactly what we were looking for!

The Parma Sub is tastes exactly like an authentic Hoagie from Philadelphia. Also, the Cannolis are sinfully good. There is a table outside on the sidewalk if the weather is nice and you want to eat there, but people usually just pick up their food and eat it somewhere else.

Their Chicken Parmesan sandwich was terrible. it was soggy and I couldn't even hold it in my hands as it fell apart. the taste was bad too. When I went back to the store and told the owners, they didn't apologize and sid that's how they make it. The owner's wife said many people eat that sandwich with fork and knife. I told her she didn't understand what a sandwich was. I have eaten many Chicken Parmesan sandwiches in my life and never had that terrible experience. Plus, it tasted bad too. to their credit, one of the guys there asked if I wanted a refund which I refused. I just wanted them to be aware of it, but all in all they acted offended not sorry for their terrible product.

Outstanding quality - Rueben, Chicken Parmesan, and Tuna, prepared to perfection. Deli atmosphere - won't disappoint.

Great little Italian shop in Vienna. The staff have good moods and so-so, just like everybody, but usually very personable. I drive around 20 miles on a regular basis to stock up on their frozen foods. All of their frozen are as good as you will get in a top Italian restaurant. My favs are Cheese ravioli, chicken/veal marsala, veggie lasagna, and sweet sausage sauce.

Rude people. Seemed cool but I won't be spending money there. If you're a regular you get treated well but otherwise not. Tiny place, smells nice.

I’d give them 5 stars just for having guanciale. For such a small space, it’s amazing how many great Italian products they have that are difficult to find elsewhere.

Placed an order a day early for 10 sandwiches and they canceled my order. When I asked why did they cancel they said I had too many request and they just weren't going to do it in a very rude voice, everything ordered was as is on the menu nothing special. These people are very rude and nasty and will never get a dime from me.

Excellent! Every time! Great selections. Italian subs are amazing and the best around. I recently purchased their lobster ravioli and Alfredo sauce. It was perfect / see pic below. I added my personal touches to recipe. They’ll save you an amazing amount of time to start with some of their pasta and sauces.

Tried the Pompeii sub with LTO, pesto mayo, and hot peppers. The sub was filled generously and the hot peppers tasted like a house made blend. A solid spot for an Italian sub.

Been coming here for a long time and I would rate this place 1000 stars if I could. Awesome subs, great selection of homemade dishes, great products and gives off a neighborhood vibe. Also they are very friendly and always welcoming! I’ll always be back here and hope they stay around forever.

5 star for quality and quantity of meats, cheese, vegetables and dressing. I ordered the Pompeii sub and Chipotle chicken panini. 1 star for the bread on the Pompeii. I'm surprised no one else commented on it. It gets very soggy and literally melts from the dressing and it doesn't have much flavor. None the less I inhaled it before I could take any pictures.
