What People Are Saying About Costello Sandwich & Sides

Featured Review

The Scene – With its brightly painted, beat-up chairs and patterned tables, sunny Costello's overflows on weekends with sandwich-lovin' young Roscoe Villagers. Order at the counter from one of the friendly employees, then score one of the handful of tables. During warmer weather, additional seating is available at sidewalk tables and at a back patio. – – The Food – It's no idle boast when Costello's claims to make "Chicago's finest oven-baked sandwiches." For proof, order the Costello, a spicy, zesty classic piled high with mortadella, hot capicola and provolone with…

Best Sandwhiches in Roscoe Village!

by Chadrock5 at Citysearch

Roscoe Village has a landmark, and its Costello's. Most people when you ask them if they have ever been to Roscoe Village they say, yeah that have that killer sandwhich shop there!!

I ate there before I moved to RV and years later when I moved across the street from it, it became a staple in my diet for sure!

I usually get the italian since I am a creature of habit, but all of their sandwhiches are top notch and reasonably priced too!

The pasta salads are ok, nothing great but I go there for the sandwhiches.

  • Pros: Italian Subs and Wraps
  • Cons: Sides are weak

Where is the beef?

by oscoe at Citysearch

I gotta tell you, I want to like this place because i live so close to it...I cant call the sandwich bad because there is not enough meat in the sandwich to even judge. I just had a smokin turk, and I swear to God it was 98% bread and lettuce and 2% turkey. I think the owners must be so cheap and so worried about the bottom line, they wont even put turkey in a turkey sandwich. The only thing that will save them is the Rosco Location. The foot traffic is crazy, so they will do fine even though the place it mediocre at best. Save your money, even subway (yuk) is better, and that ain't sayin much.

  • Pros: good location, i guess
  • Cons: No meat in the sandwich, all dressing and bread

Huge variety of distinctly great sandwiches

by nickthedog at Citysearch

This is such a great sandwich shop! Fun, good ambiance, the service is very friendly, and they have a huge variety of sandwiches. I LOVE the Turkey Foccacia, the Turkey Reuben, and the Smokin' Turk (can't tell I like turkey, eh). But the Horseradish Roast Beef is pretty awesome too. Good side dishes. It's nice to sit out on their back yard patio during warm weather. You can also get a milkshake!

  • Pros: Best sandwiches anywhere
  • Cons: small dining room

Pretty Good, Unique

by skurry at Citysearch

I had this delivered and it arrived on time and was still warm when it did, suprising because I live about as far as you can in their delivery area. The best part about this place is its originality, you can eat a sandwich anywhere but they came up with some pretty good varieties on sandwiches and their sides are very unique. Decent price for what you get in the city. I will be ordering from here again.

  • Pros: One of a kind sandwiches
  • Cons: Only two locations

Where's the Meat??

by goodeatin77 at Citysearch

I ordered a Turkey Pastrami.....and the sandwich had a decent taste but the problem was they there was only 2 slices of Turkey Pastrami. If you want to pay $6 for a kraut sandwhich this is the place. Also i had a side of potatoes and they were dry. Not Good at All.
