Since our founding in Wilmington, Delaware in 1976, Capriotti’s Sandwich Shop has done things differently, creating flavor profiles unmatched in the fast casual segment. Anyone can slice meat, put it on bread and call it a sandwich, but we have set ourselves apart with our passionate focus on the quality of our food and superior service. We don’t just have customers, we have fans and they are avid supporters of the Capriotti’s difference. Based in Las Vegas, with over 150 restaurants across the country, Capriotti’s is truly a national phenomenon. Boasting “Best of” awards in Delaware, Las Vegas, Dallas, Quad Cities, Eastern Shore, San Diego and having been named one of USA Today’s “10 Great Places for a Surprising Sandwich,” our reputation for excellence is unrivaled. So what makes our food so special? We roast whole, all-natural turkeys and premium roast beef in-house daily to make award-winning subs like our signature Bobbie, which was voted, “The Greatest Sandwich in America” by thousands of AOL readers. Made with fresh, hand-pulled turkey, homemade stuffing, cranberry sauce and touch of mayo on a roll, The Bobbie has developed an extraordinary following. Our unique menu features a variety of cold, grilled and vegetarian subs, cheese steaks, salads, catering and more. Capriotti’s has mastered proprietary recipes, preparation techniques, and service styles that go beyond the ordinary. For Franchise Information Please Visit: www.ownacapriottis.com

Phil Romano founded Macaroni Grill on a simple belief. He set out to create a restaurant inspired by his grandfather’s kitchen in upstate New York, where the cuisine was rooted in Italian tradition, but the emphasis was on a place family could gather and have a great time over food made with the finest of ingredients. He focused on the little things and that quality is still engrained in our culture 30 years later. It’s a belief that that every tiny detail enhances our Guests’ experience and separates our restaurants from others. We know that without our Guests we do not exist, therefore our team at every level takes immense pride in their part of creating the best Guest experience in the industry. From building our relationships with the small Italian vendors we work with, to carefully selecting the ingredients for our meals and maintaining a spotless house for our guests, we go the extra mile to create memorable connections at the table. Our team lives the beliefs that make us the #1 Italian restaurant chain in the nation.

At the center of every Bertucci’s lives our brick oven. For over 30 years, since our first kitchen opened in the Davis Square neighborhood of Somerville, MA in 1981, we’ve been perfecting the art of brick oven cooking. From the beginning, we’ve built a tradition of creating unique pizzas and pasta combinations. These recipes all share some very important things in common. They use only the freshest ingredients, and we take the time to make each by hand. Today, 89 Bertucci’s restaurants are firing up brick ovens from New England to Virginia, each reflecting the distinct character and local charm of their community. But like the original Bertucci’s, every kitchen is also open, making our brick oven part of the restaurant experience. We believe that watching your food being prepared is an integral part to enjoying it. With a strong and dedicated commitment to hospitality, we welcome you as our guest, and we promise to always treat you as part of the Bertucci’s family.
