Staff was quick to greet (and they meant it). I had the 1/2 meatball sub. Food came out quickly and had absolutely incredible flavor. Market had great products from Italy and the dining area had an Italian vibe. I'll be back!

Absolutely delicious food. I got the fried ravioli, potato salad, and the Caprese sandwich. The prices are a bit high (4 fried raviolis for 10 dollars) and unfortunately, the bread on my sandwich was extremely dry and seemed a little stale, so it lowered the quality of the sandwich. However, there are no other complaints about any aspect of this restaurant. The sandwich still tasted delicious despite the stale bread, and the other dishes were absolute perfection. The food came out within 10-15 minutes, which is great considering that the restaurant was extremely packed. The atmosphere is amazing! They have a park area outside of the restaurant, so if you have kids, this is a great place to go for lunch/dinner. Also, the workers are great. The market is sooo cute and I hope to come back and shop!!! This shop was recently opened, so take into consideration that that they are still working out some parts of the menu and might not have some dishes available. BONUS: try the pistachio gelato. It’s divine!

The place was a lot bigger than I thought it was I thought it was just a small sandwich shop but it is much bigger once you go inside. Very busy they have a lot to offer like sandwiches, soups, salads, pastas. They give you a paper ticket and call your number so you have to pay attention because you made miss it with the noise that is going on inside, I ordered the Chicago Beef I must say I will definitely be back they offer cold and hot sandwiches also and if you get a cold sandwich and you wanted it to be heated up they will do so for you. I most definitely will be back to try something different.

Two days in a row at Little Hats Market Little hats market is so good, we went two days in a row! On the first day, we tried the rigatoni- it was rich, flavorful, and absolutely unforgettable. The next day we sat at the bar for a round of drinks and indulged in the Chicago-style beef, which was a perfect balance of hearty and delicious. The cozy NYC vibe and friendly service made both visits perfect. Can’t wait to come back and explore more of the menu!

The things we got were perfect for us. My wife loves Chicken Parm and the sandwich hit the spot. My meatball sub was perfect. A good combo of sauce and meatballs. There was also some sort of pesto like sauce in it that was delish. The fried Arancini was very good. A nice ratio of crunchy and soft cheese mixture inside. Dipping in the marinara sauce made it a must have. The only downside was that it's cramped inside and it's so popular that it's hard to find parking and seating.

We had 2 sandwiches and they were both DELICIOUS!! The counter ordering feels a little rushed and confusing at first when you are also trying to order a wine or beer. Food at the counter-alcohol at the bar. The bartender was friendly and attentive.

It was a wonderful casual Italian restaurant in Germantown. I ordered a hot sandwich with sausage, onions, and peppers. The portion was huge, and the filling was delicious. My friends ordered a fried eggplant sandwich and pasta. Personally, I preferred their sandwiches over the pasta. I hadn’t had Italian food in so long because I couldn’t find a place that suited my taste, but this sandwich made me fall in love with Italian food again.

What a great place! Food was amazing! Highly recommend the meatballs sub!!!! The market was a great bonus. It was a little confusing at first but once you order at counter it makes sense. So many choices. The parking lot next to them can be validated. We will definitely be back!
