Review of Panino Giusto

Ate their with some friends today - only my third time, while my friends are both regulars. Three things:

1. My sandwich arrived burnt - the bread that is. That and the disappointingly tiny size (a little larger than a doughnut) made for an unsatisfying lunch.

2. My friend, whose sandwich arrived last and well after ours, had a look at the two measly slices of meat inside and miniscule amount of cheese and was miffed, commenting that their portions keep getting smaller and smaller - especially when compared to the decent portions they used to serve (which I can recall from my previous visits) in less stingy times.

3. Our waitress was perhaps new on the job - it took her and her supervisor a bit of back-and-forth to figure out our order. Not a big deal in and of itself, but combined with the disappointing portions and less-than-ample fillings, it didn't help make our meal any more enjoyable.

Still good to see it in the neighborhood (my old hood of three-plus years), but I hope they don't keep sliding.
