Piatto Pronto

The only reason I am actually sad to move away from Andersonville is that Piatto Pronto will no longer be so close to me.  Every time I've been there has felt like I walked through the door into a big hug.  My first visit is really what hooked me for life.  It was raining pretty hard, I missed the bus and looked like a drowned rat.  Chose to stop in (mainly to get out of the rain) but also to get a sandwich.  I had avoided going in before that because I thought it would be stupidly overpriced.  I felt and looked pathetic, just told him I was vegetarian and he smiled and made me an amazing caprese sandwich slathered with pesto, huge chunks of mozzarella and tomato.  I ordered a 6 inch and it was closer to a foot.  I paid my $5.99, said thank you and felt sorry for myself going back out into the rain he threw in a huge chocolate bar.  It made my night.  Every time I've been back the size of the sandwich is crazy huge, delicious and they'll make it however you want.  The chocolate was definitely a random happenstance (because I looked so pathetic) but it seems that if I smile, say thank you they throw in something extra, maybe it's just a banana.  Even if they didn't throw in something extra, their interpretation of a "6 inch" will always keep me loyal.  I still need to branch out and try other things in their deli case, their salads look amazing.  I love them.

I love this place.

I've always enjoyed their sandwiches and deli items, the best chicken noodle soup aside from mom's, and good olive oils.

The service really sets this place apart. Today they let me exchange a bag of coffee for another no questions asked. "Anything to make you happy on this Friday morning."

I love that. I also love that their 6 inch sandwich is like 9 inches, kinda makes you wonder why anyone ever eats at the Subway down the block.

Love this place for lunch. Great sandwiches that are cheap and fresh. plus i love being called boss.
