What People Are Saying
from Google"I only ate here once, had two things but they were both delicious: Pompeii sandwich (spicy) and a flaky dessert that was perfect, not too sweet. Friendly people. Will have to come back again and see if the other stuff is as good."
"Googled "Best Italian sandwich around me", and Forno Alto was the closest. Google did not disappoint. This was likely the best sandwich I've ever eater. Don't sleep on the Pompeii sandwich, life changing. Price is extremely fair (almost too cheap if you ask me) Atmosphere is pretty cool, chill cafe, staff is so friendly and engaging."
"Stepping in, I did not expect this place to be so cute and inviting. A great sandwich menu, eye catching baked goods and a well lit, spacious and cheerful interior, not to mention a sweet and helpful staff. The bagels are excellent, cannelloni are a must"
"Ordered a Pompeii this morning with everything on it, but the peppers and oil on the side. When we opened it up, it was hard and very burnt with no toppings and the peppers and oil were just tossed into the bag, causing the oil to leak. Very upsetting since normally we have good service and we've been looking forward to this all week. It was so bad we just ended up throwing the sandwich away, which was sad considering their prices. Definitely make sure you check your food before leaving."
"The coffee is really good and at a good price. The Pompeii Sandwich is really good and is great for those who like spicy flavors. They have delicious, true, authentic Italian bake goods. The staff is fast and friendly."
