Reviews
We ordered the Cortona and the Gubbio, the Gubbio was better it had pesto on it and was more flavourful and the Cortana was fine just a bit dry. Theyre pretty good for their price, a standard sandwich for a quick lunch, although there is a line but it moves quickly theres lots of staff making the sandwiches
