Got the OMG sandwich and the shrimp spaghetti. The sandwich was good but I also think the sandwiches down the street at Rossi’s are better for $13 vs $19 (that’s what will get you saying omg). Now the spaghetti, the shrimp tasted like a cooked cocktail shrimp, definitely not a $22 shrimp spaghetti. The sauce was fine but the lack of fresh seafood for a $22 dish is wild. Way better places to eat in the Castro than here! Also, I saw the owner comments about how the imported meat is expensive but you barely get any so I don’t feel like that justifies the price.

Was hesitant to try the very well reviewed $17 OMG sandwich due to its exorbitant price. But it is aptly named, OMG I spent $17($21+with tip) on this sandwich. This is roughly six inches with very sparse amount of meat or ingredients listed on the menu. The bread is pretty good but not anything to rave about. This is half a sandwich not a full sandwich.

Fresh and delicious. We had the O.M.G which lived up to its name and the Gladiator salad which was excellent. Friendly service and promptly served. Highly recommend.

While I love a great sandwich, great sandwiches are far and few in-between. Heroic Italian is a place where you can find a great sandwich. I tried the signature “OMG” and it did not disappoint. The real hero of the sandwich is the bread. It’s light, airy and crispy so you don’t feel bloated with carbs. But the bread’s real super-power is letting the flavors of the imported Italian meats and assorted toppings shine through. I had mine spicy which wasn’t really hot but definitely added a touch of flavorful heat. I’ll be going back to try their other sandwiches as well as another aptly named, “OMG.”

Absolutely incredible sandwiches – the bread is a special type of modified pizza crust that’s perfectly crunchy and airy, and every ingredient in the sandwich is flavorful and delicious. Service was super friendly too, and ordering in your phone is easy and fast!

Italian bread made with ingredient from italy. Crispy. OMG is the name of the sandwich with all kinds of meats from italy. Priscuitto is my favorite. Even though $16 it is so worth it. Save on airfare to italy. Sit outside and pretend it is the Piazza. Wonderful owner who speaks Italian.
