Jack’s Dining Room, visiting with Benny Blanco, praised the prime rib sandwich as “deeply savory” despite a soggy bun, and called the vegetarian sandwich with pesto, ricotta, and fried zucchini “surprisingly excellent.” Only Scrans deemed the shop a “temple to dairy,” highlighting the fried mortadella and La Macelleria sandwiches as fresh, flavorful standouts.
The vibe is no-frills and walk-in friendly, ideal for takeout on Santa Monica Boulevard. This 4.7-star local spot earns its reputation for quality. Pro tip: if the prime rib calls your name, ask for the bun toasted to avoid sogginess.

Fried Mortadella Sandwich
That is a bloody good-looking sandwich. Beautifully thin bread, crunchy little pickles at the bottom, cheese, mortadella. Nice mustard. It's filthy, fatty, and bloody tasty. The crispiness on the outside is perfect.
La Macelleria Sandwich
This is the deli meat sort of sandwich. Loads of fresh cold cuts of meat with fresh salad on the bottom. This is pure nostalgia. Everything slaps.

La Rotisserie Prime Rib Sandwich
This is like, flavor-wise, one of the better sandwiches I've had in a really long time. Unfortunately, it's kind of like a soggy bun, but that's okay. Sometimes a soggy sandwich just slaps.
Vegetarian Sandwich with Pesto, Ricotta, and Fried Zucchini
I know a vegetarian sandwich may not sound like the best thing in the world, but I'm telling you it's got pesto, ricotta, fried zucchini. Manny said this is his favorite sandwich here. The lemon zest, the freshness. Yes, chef. You know what would make this even better? A little balsamic vinegar. I'm telling you, balsamic vinegar on everything is kind of my motto. This is actually more impressive that it tastes this good vegetarian, because any vegetarian sandwich is usually not good if we're being real.
