One Of The Oldest Sandwich Shops In Downtown Crossing, Sam LaGrassa’s Is An Iconic Downtown Lunchspot

Famed for its variety of mouth-watering sandwiches, Sam LaGrassa’s has been a staple of the downtown lunch scene for over 50 years. Specializing in corporate catering, LaGrassa’s also provides a casual and cozy dining experience–but make sure to get there early, before the lunchtime crowds! Sam LaGrassa’s was founded in 1968 by Sam LaGrassa, who was born and raised in Boston’s North End and had a passion for food and business. With help from his wife and four children, the business has grown from a neighborhood lunch spot to one of the largest lunch operations in Boston, expanding into corporate catering, take-out delivery, express pick-up orders, and overnight shipping.

At Sam LaGrassa’s, they are all about the food. Meats are prepared in-house and served fresh daily. Sauces and dressings are made from scratch. Breads and rolls are baked to their specs and flavor profiles. All ingredients combine to make legendary gourmet sandwiches carefully thought out and perfected with over 50 years of experience.
