La Pecora Nera - Detroit
1514 Washington Blvd, Detroit, MI
Crema's Take
“This cozy, owner-run Italian sandwich shop in Detroit wins hearts with its genuinely warm hospitality and exceptionally fresh bread that elevates every sandwich into something memorable. The Turkey Bella and mortadella sandwiches are crafted with real care—generous portions of quality meats paired with thoughtful toppings like mayo and lettuce that somehow taste better here than anywhere else. Whether you're grabbing lunch quick or settling in to meet a friend, you'll find the kind of neighborhood gem where the owners actually make you feel welcome, and the cannoli are just the cherry on top.”

Walked in for the first time today and it has a great “mom and pop shop” vibe. Small, cute, and the wife and husband who I believe own the place were extremely friendly and social. Amazing sandwiches, and great atmosphere. Would definitely go back!
ad I could stop in for lunch. The fresh bread fills you with warmth and the meats fill you with Motown Big D-licousness. Online order was easy and fast. It was nice to see how efficient they are. Detroit has the countries best food!!!
Big sandwichs, good mayo, hot bread. I eat 2x a day and it got me through 1.5 meals. Mayo + lettuce always = 🔥. I got the Turkey Bella and even though i don't like bacon, it was still good. Just enough bacon to give a crunch and a savory flavor. Heads up, not a place if you want actual Italian style sandwiches, it is quintessentially American but on focaccia bread. Patient staff, doesn't take too long to get your food. Cute little shop.
Amazing! I think about this sandwhich often it was that good! Really nice/friendly service and great food! Another plus is that they are usually really quick during lunch which is extremely nice. Highly recommend!!!
It was our first time coming to this lovely Italian sandwich shop and we will definitely be back! We got the mortadella sandwich and the spicy chicken Caesar sandwich and both were phenomenal. Cannolis were delicious, as well. The guy working there was kind and funny and made our day! Highly recommend!!
