Hands down one of my favorite sandwich places! All of their sandwiches are incredible and vary depending on what the palate wants. I have been going for their Tuna sandwich, which is served on a warm toasted bread with a lovely chili sauce and arugula. They also have a variety of drinks, from coffee to cold drinks. Lastly, their staff is always attentive and professional. Cant go a week without Persiano's!

Made the trek 20 blocks on foot for this delicious sandwich and it was well worth it! Service was perfect. Atmosphere sitting on the brass under a palm tree was ideal. The sandwich was divine.

I had the pleasure of photographing the incredible dishes at Persiano Cafe, and I have to say, they are not only visually stunning but also taste phenomenal. I tried the tuna sandwich, and it was absolutely mind-blowing—packed with flavor and freshness. Beyond the food, the story behind the cafe and its humble, amazing owner is truly inspiring. If you’re in town, Persiano Cafe is a must-visit. The passion and care put into every detail make it a standout spot in the area!

I got a bologna (mortadella) sandwich from here for lunch and I can honestly say it was one of the best sandwiches I have ever had. Warm, light, and crisp FRESH bread, perfect ratio of meat/filling/bread. The addition of fresh basil and freshly cracked black pepper made this sandwich a refreshing and layered flavour experience. Truly a delicious lunch. I will definitely return, staff were also very friendly and service was fast.
