BMH Italian

First off I am from New Jersey and I am used to good Italian.
I went there today to try it out.
On the walls, they had canned sauces they were selling, old coffee cans from Italy.
Exterior and interior kind of run down and needed updating
The place could be great on the bread alone. Very good bread they bake there.
It appears as if they are just trying to get by and not become a great place.
The meat was ok, would have liked a little more to the bread ratio.
Just a note: When my sandwich was being made by the lady there. She had to comment about how «hot» the last customer was. Myself and another customer there felt uncomfortable by this. Pretty unprofessional that she had the time to comment on a customers looks while orders were stacked 8 deep.
Would be a nice place if they made the interior more inviting and had more than 1 worker making sandwiches at lunch time.

Delicious, local, and simple. The sandwiches are great; no frills, no nonsense. I have yet to try the frozen meals from the fridge, but I plan on snagging some lasagna soon and taking it home for dinner. This place is great.

Although my experience so far has been for take out only, I have no complaints. The Italian Sub is lunch a great lunch sandwich which is big enough to sometimes have a left over for a late pre dinner snack.
After having these a few times I tried the Italian meatball sandwich and that too had great flavor to the meatballs (unlike some places that has no taste) and the provolone cheese with the marinara sauce complimented it perfectly.
And be sure you pick up a bottle of their Italian dressing that they make and you can use for marinades or salads (remember to being the bottle back & save $ 2.00)

Best sandwiches!!! Bread, omg! The soups I’ve had were delicious and so was the soup!

This place is overhyped in my opinion based on personal references. It was decent, and based on previous reviews I heard the new owner pretty much ruined the place, probably won’t be back again

I have been calling and calling to place an order in, but their phone must be off the hook. Very disappointing

Love it, love it, love it. It’s a real authentic Italian deli. Fresh baked bread, quality meats and cheese. Costumer service is A1 !! Highly recommend.

Catering. We had a birthday party for my son this past weekend and we got sandwiches from here. The guys did a GREAT job. The price was great and its a locally owned business so we felt like choosing them was a win, win. They put all the sandwiches in boxes, cut with condiments on the side. Everyone loved the house made sauce for the sandwiches. We would recommend anyone to use these guys for catering.

Home of the REAL $ 5 footlong. I’ll never go to Subway again. This place gives you REAL meat and puts it on freshly baked bread. They have their own special Italian dressing that adds a nice touch. Kind of a hole in the wall but that adds to the character. Always friendly service.

Fresh bread, good sandwich very happy the lady told me to put the house dressing on side. It was not what I was expecting.

Today was my first time trying BMH & I will definitely be going back. My co-​worker & I ordered a Baja Philly Boy & a Caprese sandwich & we each ate half. Let me just say that both sandwiches are incredible!!! The bread I‘m guessing is homemade & all the ingredients tasted so fresh & the sauce on the side is so good I want to drink it w/​a straw. The cost of theses sandwiches & chips is what I pay at Subway & BMH also has some $ 5 sandwiches too. The guy who helped me had some of the best customer service I have ever had & was the same w/​all the customers that were picking up. I can‘t wait to come back & try something else.

I can’t believe we’ve never eaten here!!! The man behind the counter was courteous and helpful. The place was clean. The sandwiches were delicious!!! I can’t wait to go back again!

This place was everything I expected it to be. I came to BMH Italian because it had a lot of reviews on Unilocal.I used the check-​in option on Unilocal to get a special deal and got a free sandwich. The sandwiches are made fresh right in front of you as soon as you order them and it literally takes him 2 minutes to whip it up for you. I love that their ingredients are all kept fresh and their bread is made daily. I ordered the Vegetarian and my boyfriend ordered the GHD. They were both delicious!!! There is a lot of space for seating and groups, the décor is very authentic and conveniently organized. If you come here don’t forget to try Mama’s Love Juice. It’s at every table and it’s THE BOMB!!! Definitely coming to to this place again. Way better than subway!!! You gotta check them out.

Got pickup from here and was pleased at the prompt service. The caprese with prosciutto was huge, but had way too much tomato which wasn’t very ripe so I picked a lot off. The prosciutto was good quality and they were generous with the mozzarella. The bread was nice, too, but assembled, it was rather bland. Next time I would get something else, but I had been watching Agents of Shield and wanted a sandwich a la Fitz… So this was the closest I could find.

Ok so I consider myself a man who knows a good meatball sandwich… I tried bmh for the first time today. Let’s start with the good… The bread was soft and very good, and the portion was very big. The sauce was good as well… Why did I give it a 3 star? Well because the meat was very bland. Also had some chewy spots in it. With a meatball sub you want it to melt in your mouth. Tough to make a solid meatball sandwich that will impress me, and unfortunately this one did not fit the bill. Service was fine, payed cash… But damn $ 8.35 for this sandwich was $ 2 – 3 more than what it should have been. May go back and try one of their other sandwiches… We’ll see.

I have ordered a couple of times from BMH but I wanted to do a review on their Cannoli’s. They are the best Cannoli’s I’ve ever had in San Diego. They are fresh and home made. The filling is not to sweet and silky smooth. They put just enough choclate chips and that wonderful dust of cinnamon brings it all together! They are $ 4.25 each but are so worth it! Make sure to call because sometimes they run out!
Okay I changed my mind… I also would like to add that they have awesome pasta as well. I love their Shrimp Ravioli and iot comes with a 6 inch sub of their delicious bread. You can order Garlic Bread for $ 1.75 for 12 inches of yuminess!!!

If you don’t like sweet old ladies, then don’t come here. We met the mama, the Italian mama that is the owner. She greeted us with open arms introduced herself and wanted to get to know us. We asked her about menu choices and she gave great recommendations.
We ordered the BHD sandwich and a Caprese sandwich. Both sandwiches were made on freshly baked bread which I thought was a good size!
The BHD sandwich did not disappoint. I was looking at it on the menu and then Mama said it was the best as well so I knew it was a good decision. I opted for no onions and added pepperchinis. The sandwich tasted extremely fresh and was handcrafted within minutes for me to enjoy.
The caprese sandwich was made w fresh mozzarella, tomatoes, pesto and balsamic. It was very tasty and big, almost too big for me to eat the entire thing. The prices are great for the size sandwich you get to enjoy.
They also Italian groceries to purchase as well as freshly made ravioli, lasagna, chicken Parmesan, and much more. The grocery offerings looked enticing so I will be back to purchase a few in the near future. The place had a constant line but we received our order pretty quickly.
It seems they have a lot of regulars come in which is a great sign of good food and good customer service.

I have been going to this deli for years and finally decided to yell at the top of my lungs how much I love their food! Jeannette is part of the family that owns the deli and is also a friend who is tireless in her efforts to make sure that each dish or sandwich is perfectly made with the freshest ingredients. I hope you will give them a visit soon as I will personally guarantee your order will be very satisfying. Thank you momma!
