Isabella's - Baltimore's Little Italy

I work between Fell's Point and Little Italy in Baltimore now. I just started there last month. And thanks to my friendly new co-workers, I've found a gem of a lunch spot. I walk past 4 or 5 full blown restaurants to get to Isabella's and can't imagine that I'm missing anything. This tiny sandwich shop has 2 and half tables, a deli counter, and makes the best real Italian sandwiches I've had anywhere. On my first visit I ordered their Chicken Parmesan. As over the top as this sounds, I was so impressed I texted a good friend to tell him that I just had my first real chicken parm sandwich ever. The meat was tender, moist, and grilled. The bread was fresh and lightly toasted. And they make fresh mozzarella cheese, as well as their red sauce, on the premises. What more can you ask for? One of their fresh filled mini-canolis! Mine was crispy with the right balance of sweet and smooth I found it a great way to reward myself for having such a nice lunch.
