La Pecora Nera — Restaurant in Detroit

La Pecora use to be my go to place. Before Covid this place had great sandwiches. They were quick and efficient. After Covid, I often receive a burnt sandwich or is just sloppily put together. I figured everyone's going through growing pains again due to the shortage in the labor force.

Its now October of 2021 and if anything has happened its that the service has declined significantly. I entered 10/14 looking to purchase The Detroiter. I was notified the grill was broken and they apologized. Hey things happen, no issues. I was specifically told it will be fixed tomorrow. I return on 10/15. I entered around 11:20, I wasn't greeted until 11:30. I made my request for The Detroiter again and now was notified breakfast finished at 11. No signs are posted, the menu is all electronic, so its easy to post in the signage, or even better simply remove it after 11am. The gentlemen behind the counter has a poor attitude where you can simply tell he hates life all together. The establishment is riddled with horse flies that are landing on their meat prep area. This list can go on and on. If I could leave zero stars I would simply due to the level of decline this establishment has. For now, I would stay far away until they close down and retrain their staff and also perform a deep clean. Makes people wonder when the City of Detroit did their last...

Nobody welcomed us when we walked in. It was 86 degrees inside. My order was supposed to be ready at 1235. I didn’t walk out with my food until 1. A gentleman came in behind me, ordered his food on the spot, and was provided his meal before me.

I saw this happen with a few other orders too. Grub hub and a door dash orders were priority for them over my order even though I had already been waiting in there for 10 minutes for my order that should have been done, and the people that came in for those orders walked in after me.

I came with a friend and told the lady up front we’re here for two orders that were placed. I gave her our names and she just kept working on other orders instead of ours.

How does that make any sense? The staff was not prepared to handle customers efficiently and there was also no communication being provided to me about the status of my order or an apology from the lady up front for messing up on service. Instead, she and the guy in the kitchen tried to make excuses instead.

My toasted sub also ended up having wax paper that stuck to it. Why am I peeling wax paper off my sub? I’d recommend using foil for toasted subs. They’ll stay warmer, crisper, and there’s no issues with the wax paper melting onto a toasted sub.

There’s absolutely zero reason I would ever come back due to the level of...

I placed an order for 2 sandwiches the Reuben and the Italiano I was very disappointed I thought the bread was too thick dry & blend the sandwiches were not cut there was no sauce on the Italian sandwich everything lacked flavor including the meat corned beef did not taste as if it was corned beef really would've enjoy some dried herbs a bit of salt and pepper on the Italiano but no not here you won't i did go in to get the Italian dressing it was mainly oil with a slash of vinegar no herbs I also ordered extra meat I couldn't tell if he put gave me any extra I gave the $47 sandwiches to my kids and they didn't even enjoy them hey people go buy yourself some good quality deli meat and fresh bread and make your own sandwiches I 100% guarantee it will taste better than this place Jersey Mike's makes a better sandwich and no I'm not joking only difference is this place has a little style with naming and appearance but...
