Recently coworkers noted it as the G.O.A.T., so as someone who loves to cook and is a bit of a foodie I had to try and see if it actually was up to snuff. I was pleasantly surprised and would definitely rate it as equal to Alimentari for quality. The prices were reasonable and I would go again. We had the Paradigm, Sullivan, Pasta E Fagioli, Siren Shrub (cherry), A' SICILIANA SODA, and a chocolate chip cookie. The sandwich sizes were large, so next time I would split one or save half for later (we opted to save the soup and bread for the next day).

Casetta Kitchen and Counter is an awesome spot. I've had several sandwiches and have never been disappointed. The Manzo, in particular, is delicious. I'm not usually a roost beef kinda girl but I am at Casetta. Their focaccia bread is outstanding! The bread alone makes their sandwiches worth getting, but the toppings and flavors elevate the whole sandwich. I love their cozy little space and it's always packed. People know Casetta has the good sammy's. Last, but certainly not least, Casetta's chocolate chip cookies are the best I have ever had. I can taste a sprinkle of salt but I think they might add a pinch of cinnamon or something. Those cookies are out of this world.

I stopped through on my lunch break. I had a hard time picking which sandwich because they all looked phenomenal! I got the special off the day, the CBR. It was a chicken bacon ranch, but it was the best one I've ever had. Highly recommend! I will be going back!

The paradigm and Italian sandwiches were absolutely delicious! Packed full of flavor, and paired perfectly with a cold, crispy coke! These are the type of sandwiches I would bring to a picnic date! My friend and I loved it here and are definitely coming back as regulars!

Phenomenal sandwiches and cookies! I had been looking forward to visiting for a few days, and it did not disappoint. Their fresh meat and veggies pair perfectly with the soft, savory focaccia bread. I’d love to try everything on the menu!

We made a trip to Madison from Chicago and Casetta was HIGH on my itinerary. The bread, the deli meat, the sauces... EVERYTHING was so deliciously perfect! The only two things I was bummed about was 1) they were sold out of their renowned and infamous chocolate chip cookies by the time we arrived, and 2) there was no special that included something with a chicken cutlet (every form of their cutlet sandwiches look phenomenal). Nonetheless, we ordered a Hoboken and a Turkey make your own on their focaccia bread and ordered another for the ride back on their hero bread. We savored every bite and would absolutely make the drive back for a delicious sandwich and (hopefully) a chocolate chip cookie!

This is the spot for deli sandwiches. My personal favorite is the Paradigm with hot peppers added. Overall, this is a great spot for a short lunch out whether you’re eating in our to go. They’ve got a small number of tables for eating in so most seem to opt for takeout. They’ve also got a rotating flavored focaccia - the one photo’d is olive and honey. Not bad - wish there was more salt. As for the chocolate chip cookie, it was a little too salty for my taste. Regardless, the sandwiches are awesome. You gotta try this place.

The Italian sandwich on fresh focaccia bread and pasta fagioli soup were phenomenal! My husband and I discovered this wonderful shop on our first trip downtown, and we will definitely be back for the great service and amazing food.
