ACK Gioia — Restaurant in Brewster

There’s a lot of local hype with this place. We ordered sandwiches ahead of time and were told 35 minutes for pick up. When we got there 40 minutes later the sandwiches were still not ready. We waited a total of 55 minutes. Your order takers need to know the wait times better. Once we opened the bag at home, one after another each sandwich had something wrong with it. It wasn’t a complex order off their limited menu. We asked for 3 sandwiches to be panini pressed, which seems to be an easy choice on the menu. Not one was pressed.

With its combination of savory, salty and sweet this has everything you could possibly want from an Italian sandwich .
