The portions are consistently described as generous and the ingredients fresh, which helps justify the pricing for most diners. While the staff is frequently praised for being friendly, attentive, and helpful with menu selections, feedback regarding consistency can vary, particularly between locations or during peak hours at the Time Out Market.

We tried Ciccio's & Bossa back to back. The bread is so much softer at Bossa & their flavors actually hit. Bossa's olive oil cake was lovely too. Portions were good.

Ciccio's bread is pretty tough like it was literally hurting our mouths to eat. & taste wise, it tastes fresh but it felt like nothing I couldn't just throw together myself with stuff from a grocery store.

If you can only pick one between the two Italian sandwich shops, go with Bossa.

The people were friendly but my eggplant parm was terrible . It was unnecessarily greasy - an overflow of oil & very little flavor. The bread was greasy from the oil. The paper itself was turning yellow that they wrapped it in as well. I wasn't expecting a greasy mess. The salad drenched in vinegar overall both of us did not enjoy your food in fact, I felt rather ill for the entire evening, even though I did not finish my sandwich.

This gem is located in the mall in the upper floor of the food market. Walked by so many food options, but this one peaked my interest.
Ordered the Diavolo & it was phenomenal(a bit spicy for those that like the heat) Wish I could have taken 1 more different one to go but these sandwiches have to be eaten right away bc of the sauces otherwise the bread would be completely sogged.
I'm DEFINITELY stopping by next time I'm in town & near the mall.

Absolutely delicious Italian sandwiches!
We stopped in for a quick bite & were blown away by the quality. The prosciutto sandwich was perfection-thinly sliced, rich & savory, paired with fresh bread & just the right balance of toppings.

I hope this review comes across as more constructive than negative. I've been going to BOSSA since the beginning & have noticed a drop in quality since they've expanded. The main issue being the bread & some of the meats not being as good or consistent as they used to be. I think Parma does a better job with their consistency & quality. I hope management reads this & takes note, many friends have lamented the old bread.

Very disappointing bread, one of the most important elements in a sandwich. Had the mortadella for $16 only to be disappointed by the unpleasant texture of the bread. I brought it home, took out everything & heated it up & remade the sandwich to give it a better texture & mouth feel.

The food at Bossa never seems to let me down. It's always a 10/10. The new bread made their sandwiches even better than before which I didn't think was possible. The line may seem long but it is definitely worth the wait. Although, the staff was so well equipped that the line passed by pretty fast
