There’s certainly no shortage of lunch options downtown, and there are more than a few places where you can find a great sandwich. But there are perhaps none better and more buzz-worthy than Casetta Kitchen and Counter, the new Italian-American deli on West Washington Avenue.

The restaurant opened in February in the space formerly home to Bluephies Downtown Deli, which closed in 2014. In remodeling, co-owners James Juedes and Tommy Gering have given the place a sleek, minimalist facelift, adding an attractive wood-topped bar and white subway tile accents. Casetta focuses on breakfast and lunch, opening at 7:30 a.m. Monday through Friday to serve the office crowd.
