  Great little lunch spot in an area with limited choices. I had never heard of Lovecchio's until they moved to Norco, but everyone I talked to who knew them in Lakeview raves about how good it was and tells me they have the same menu. So, if you knew them then, you'll like them now, too.
  
  Great po-boys on Liedenheimer bread (good crusty New Orleans french bread). Every variety I've had here is good, and they've got a huge variety. The shrimp is better than most - no popcorn shrimp here.  The meatball, Regency, and roast beef po-boys are all "ten napkin" affairs. You might even need a bib. Very good and very juicy.
  
  There are also good, hefty plate lunches every day (lasagna, chicken parm - good home style meals) and salads and wraps if you want to pretend to eat healthy.
  
  Hot, fresh, crispy fries and waffle cut sweet potato fries. Bottled soda (i.e. no free refills - but you were trying to cut back on soda anyway, right?).  If you're really thirsty, the tea is a better choice.
  
  Parking is very limited. You can park at the abandoned bank building across the street (be careful crossing the street), but do NOT park at the sketchy sandwich shop over there (you might get towed).
  
  Call ahead if you are in a hurry. Service is not slow, but it gets busy in this place. Seating is also a bit limited, but you can get it to-go, too. It's worth it.

  It's alright food, good for a lunch but not much else, in my opinion. It feels like their souls aren't exactly homemade, and you could get better sandwiches/poboys elsewhere. I pass it up mostly every day and I have no desire to try it again.

  The food is delicious! We have ordered 2 fairly large takeout orders which were ready at the scheduled pickup time. We love supporting our local businesses but this will be the last time we visit Lovecchino's! The owner is rude! The order was placed 24 hours in advance, if there was an issue with the size of the order nothing was conveyed at that time or at the time one of the staff called to confirm the order.
  
  We will gladly take our business elsewhere!!!!

  What a joke. Ordered a shrimp poboy today. The shrimp aren't seasoned. They're undercooked. The breading is a very light brown color. They have no flavor whatsoever. The only thing I can taste when I bite into this poboy are the pickles and the bread. That's it. My first and last time ordering from here.

  Best poboys around Norco that I've had!
  
  Their veal parm poboy is definetly the best veal parm I've ever had. Huge thick cut of veal and not the normal cutlets.
  
  Their Mac and cheese is way above average for a poboy shop. It's not too greasy or hap hazardly thrown together like a famous place in Chalmette.
  
  On Fridays their special is crab cakes and eggplant with shrimp. It's obnoxiously good.
  
  Red beans are average.
  
  Portions are appropriately sized.
  
  Price is too cheap for the high quality they are putting out.
  
  I always do take out but they got some tables and chairs to sit in.
  
  Owners are very nice and take pride in their food. They use only lindenheimer bread (for better or worse. I prefer Binders, Gendusa (sp?), or dong phong).
  
  Don't think twice about it. Just go. Order a veal parm. And thank me later.
