Review of Panino Giusto

This last Sunday afternoon, I ordered one of the sandwiches with grilled Chicken, After a lengthy wait by any reasonable standard, the sandwich finally arrived. I was dumbfounded to find not a very small amount of underdone, as in raw in the middle, chicken!

It's almost entirely all bread, with room temp, underdone meat. The meat was translucent, pink -- RAW chicken. I was a line chef, I know what raw chicken looks like.

I sent it back, according to the server, the chef countered that it was looking at a tomato...and sent it back to my table!

I then smiled, stuck the raw meat with a toothpick and pulled it out of the sandwich and sent it back yet a second time, and ordered the soup of the day that took another 25 min to arrive.

I won't be back. And I told all my friends and wrote a post here, first one in years because simply there is no excuse for what happened -- it shows lack of pride, on the part of the chef, lack of training for the front of house and lack of standards. I still go to tecca but never back to the other branch.
