10/10 every time. Very good rolls. Toasty, quick and delicious! A must on a a Saturday afternoon!
I've had the BEST sandwich! Vinny's Stromboli is just flat out the best. The people working there are nice and very friendly..
I really love their sandwiches and would definitely recommend coming here, only setback is that they are almost rarely open.
Best tasting sub I've ever had! I was told from a coworker from New York, that Canesas has great subs in Cali. He said it reminds him of home so you know I had to try. It's this small shop with big flavor. I told the young lady to give me their best cold sub, she gave me Vinny's Stromboli? I think that's what it's called. It twas amaze balls!!! Wish I got her name, thank you so much for the fantastic tasting sub. It was huge well worth the money.
I absolutely love eating at Canesa! The food is fantastic. Made just the way you like it! Never had a sandwich I havent liked. You can sit at one of the picnic tables and listen to good music and eat. John is awesome, always with a smile.
First time patron and I need to know where they get their bread! We ordered the Italian, the corn beef, and the meatball special. All three were so flavorful and super fresh! Couldn't choose between them, so we made sampler plates and ate all three at once. Absolutely delicious!! We will be back regularly, and I will try to find out where they get their bread. Best bread I've had in a long long time
First of all I've never had sandwiches this long before. Yes they are hero's but i still wasn't expecting it and the bread was delicious. I enjoyed the meat the best the sauce tasted very authentic like they put a lot of love in and we added spicy peppers and it had a punch! Can't wait to try more sandwiches from here. Next door there is a bocce ball court which i thought was fun too!
Food: delicious sandwiches. I was a bit worried about what type of bread they would use because my typically go-to for bread would be Dutch crunch and they didn't really ask me what kind of bread I wanted. And I was happy with the bread they used - very nice, soft and pillowy on the inside. I got their #6 Vinny's Stromboli and the combination of salami, ham and pepperoni was really nice, and the tomato salsa added the nice and needed freshness to the sandwich. I'd definitely get this again. Price: $15 per sandwich is a bit pricey, but the sandwich was delicious. Service: super friendly guy at the order counter. Service was pretty quick in general. They took the time to make the sandwiches but I see it as then putting love into what they're making. Ambiance: not a lot to say cause it's technically just a stand but there were some outdoor seating.
I'm a sandwich lover and I've lately been trying to hit up all the sandwich shops in the area. I found Canesa's Brooklyn Heros on Yelp and I decided to pay this place a visit a few weeks ago. I ordered a Cool Hand Luke which has Pastrami, Pepper Jack, Hot Cherry Peppers, and Deli Mustard. It was a pretty good sandwich. The gentlemen working there were nice too. They even threw in an extra sausage and peppers sandwich for me. Sweet of them. Great sandwich shop in the Clayton area!
