"Jerry C." wrote on Yelp that if one has been looking for an amazing sandwich place they would have found it at Rossi's.

"Rossi's is so good, it genuinely makes you smile and happy while you're eating your sandwich," he wrote.

"Joanna R." of Portland, Maine, said she ordered three sandwiches to share among four people, "and we had so much leftover! Wow, they're huge sandwiches. And SOOOOOO flavorful and delicious."

Commenter after commenter said that one should be prepared to wait because the place is so popular.

"Kristina S. from Boston, Massachusetts" said, "Place was packed at 4 p.m. on a Saturday but definitely worth the wait."

According to Rossi's website, there is a menu of favorite paninis which can be ordered on small or large focaccia bread and specials which change every day. You can also "build your own sandwich," choosing the type of bread, meats, cheeses, toppings and condiments.

They are open from 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday and from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday. Rossi's is closed on Sundays.
