That picture pretty much sums up my reaction: I didn't quite manage a smile, but I was stuffed, and maybe I needed to wipe the corner of my mouth.
Joe's muffuletta ($6.99) made do with black olives, artichokes, and celery rather than a bright, vinegary olive salad — compared with the mouth-stretching rendition at Dive Bar, the meats looked lightweight, too — but as a package deal, a good value. You won't leave hungry, and the folks here are friendly, too.
