The sandwich artists are clearly having fun, too, coming up with inventive treats like the vegetarian Axel sandwich of chèvre, hummus, carrot, tomato and spinach on toasted multigrain bread ($8.99) or the French sandwich of chicken, Brie, crunchy apple, red onion, mayo and Dijon on a croissant ($10.99).ĭon’t overlook breakfast, either. The menu is huge, by the way, offering 17 options for breads, rolls and wraps 14 cheeses and some two dozen meats, including Boar’s Head Salsalito turkey coated with a spicy salsa of jalapeño peppers, onions, sun-dried tomatoes and cilantro. Just when you think it couldn't get better, a new flavor glides in to delight your taste buds.
It starts with a rustic sour roll (or a pita, which I get instead), then adds in crispy grilled falafel balls, nicely sour dolma, tomato, roasted sweet red bell peppers, cucumber, red onion, spinach, hummus, avocado, muffuletta olive spread and Dijon ($10.49). I hadn’t seen the vegan Greek sandwich on the menu before, but this new offering is so good it needs to be permanent.
You choose seasoned rotisserie beef ($10.99), chicken ($10.99) or lamb (go for the flavorful lamb, $12.99) and enjoy it with the traditional tomato, onion, lettuce and feta cheese all tucked in a white or wheat pita with homemade tzatziki sauce. There’s a Greek bent to the bistro, with gyros being bestsellers.

It’s everything I love about cold Italian sandwiches: tangy salumi, creamy mild cheese, tart dressing and enough pillowy bread to hold it all together through big bites. But Ulia’s makes it, lovingly and generously stuffed with peppercorn-studded Toscano salami, mortadella dotted with rich pork fat, salami, thick-sliced provolone, a housemade chunky red pepper and green olive spread, Dijon and a bit of olive oil seeping into the sourdough loaf ($10.99). The recipe originated among Italian immigrants in New Orleans, and the bread isn’t a common item in Wine Country. Often not known outside of the neighborhoods they serve, these locals’ favorites are well worth seeking out for their sumptuous array of sandwiches stuffed with meats, cheeses, veggies and homestyle specialties like meatloaf.
