Viro's Italian Bakery & Cafe

So I had never even heard of this spot until I saw it come across a local food blog. My coworker and I decided we should head over and try it out out. The staff was oh so pleasant and guided us through the menu. I got the daily special, which was a sausage and peppers sandwich. I had coleslaw and a side of marinara. My sandwich was wonderful and the coleslaw had some good tang. My coworker got the meatball sub. Both were delightful, but we ended up switching because she enjoyed the sausage and peppers and I really liked the meatballs. Both were top notch lunch sandwiches. The sweets were a nice treat. I picked up some specialty items for the house as well. It’s far east for a west central person, but it’s a nice place to visit from time to time.

The paninis are incredible. No one else in Tucson does proper Italian paninis like them. They also have an insane amount of other products like fresh gelato, Italian pastries, meal prep, and other items. Their potato focaccia sells out really fast and I was lucky enough to get my hands on one. It's really nice and fluffy even before you bake it. I dipped it in some vinegar and oil and it was great. They always have specials and their lunch and dinner menus are fantastic. They even have meal prep items you can buy for last minute family meals like pizza and lasagna and there's a bunch of imported products from Italy. Their butter cookies are incredible and you get one with every panini you order. I've gone here countless times and will keep going back. I love supporting local businesses especially when they have great products and services like this place does.

Excellent service and delicious food. My son's shells and spinach was so delicious. They also have a bakery and make their own gelato. Service was wonderful. Tables and ambiance were more serviceable than pretty. I thought the entrees were slightly pricey for pasta, but that may just be me. Everything else, though was wonderful.
