The Italian Place

The food was amazing and the staff was very friendly. Will definitely come back if we ever visit Alexandria again!

## Gluten-Free Pizza crust Paradise at The Italian Place!

If you're searching for delicious, authentic Italian food that caters to gluten-free needs, look no further than The Italian Place in Old Town Alexandria. I recently discovered their gluten-free pizza crust, and let me tell you, it's a game-changer.

**Flavorful:**

Even though this is mainly a take out place, there are a couple seats on the outdoor patio to enjoy the weather. Music was played outdoors and set a joyful mood. Food was excellent! We enjoyed the spaghetti marinara, garlic bread, minestrone soup, and more. Everything was hot, tasty, and we’d go there again. Enjoy!

Update: The owners immediately responded to my review below and provided a solution to rectify the situation. I appreciate their rapid response. I have changed my rating from 2 to 5 stars to reflect their customer service and much tastier sub. New pics posted!

Old review:
After coming here for years I'm afraid to say wait until the pandemic is over to enjoy a sub here again :-(

I ordered my usual Giorgio and was shocked and appalled to taste what seemed to be stale bread or a change in bread manufacturer. The bread was dry, powdery, and lacked the authenticity of loaf bread with a crusty top and a spongy chewy middle. It was nothing like what I usually get.

I immediately call the store to find out why this didn't taste like my usual. I asked if the bread manufacturer had been changed and was told since the pandemic they now had two types of bread. When I asked if they had the other type of bread in store so that I could easily just swap out my sandwich I was told that that was not in stock that day either.

I waited for a solution either in the form of a refund or via store credit but that never happened either. In a pandemic I'm not going to go back and ask for $12 refund as I understand we are all hiring economically, but the customer service seemed to be lacking and I'm afraid to say I can't come back here and pay $12 for a sandwich on stale, white, powdery bread that I can get at any local bakery. It's hard to see what I'm talking about in photos but for those who frequent this place you know that this is not the usual.

This is the best Italian sub and pizza place in all of Old Town! I really enjoy coming here. The service is great and the people are so friendly. 10/10 recommend!

Wao! This place is AMAZING! Normally I don't bother to write reviews unless it is a horrible experience, but this little restaurant deserves the highest rating. They just opened not so long ago at the Mosaic District and this was my 7th visit to them. The restaurant itself is not big but it is beautifully decorated so it gives you a feeling that you are indeed in Italy. Their pizza is one of the best in the area but I also enjoyed their pastas and sandwiches plus you can purchase a few authentic Italian wines, pasta, spices etc. to take home and be your own chef. They have a very nice outdoor seating as well where you can enjoy your meal while listening to evergreen Italian songs playing. I highly recommend everyone tries this place but I also have to warn you that once you try it it is addictive!

Amazing food. We aren't local, and staff gave us recommendations for the area. Food was amazing, if I come here again I will eat here.

Really excellent pizza & sandwiches! We've never had food from there that we didn't enjoy. Nice patio w/tables, but no inside dining room.

Came in for sandwiches for the first time today. Fantastic! Can’t wait to come back again.

Small but great sandwiches, internet a place to sit and in nice weather an outdoor patio.

Amazing food! The Eva was delicious and the service was great. The sandwich was fresh and yummy.

Delicious subs with quality meats. Love that they are a 2 block walk.

I had a sandwich that I thought was very enjoyable the texture and everything about it was one of the best things I’ve had.

Delicious food here. Ordered several times, haven't been disappointed. Friendliest staff in Old Town.

Food was great. If you’re looking for a good Italian sub, I’d recommend the Giorgio or their chicken parm sub.

We’ve been coming to The Italian Place since they opened and love the food, atmosphere, and friendly staff!

My experience was nothing short of excellent. Highly recommended. Great sandwiches!

Pretty nice spot for most Italian groceries , has a deli which makes fresh sandwiches . Pretty nice spot that warrants a visit.

Very nice staff; great subs; one of my faves in Old Town.

The Italian Place is my go to food spot in Old Town. The food is exceptionally good and authentic. My favorite are the sandwiches and the selection is huge. The service is always quick and the workers are extremely nice and happy. I would 100% recommend The Italian Place. 🤌
