Will Hartman reviews Carmenta's, a Bushwick spot serving simple and delicious Italian sandwiches like the standout Dom G. and Prosciutto Cotto.
This Bushwick Italian sandwich shop is lauded for its simple yet incredibly delicious offerings. The focus is on well-crafted sandwiches, with standouts like the Dom G. featuring fried eggplant and ricotta, and the Prosciutto Cotto with flavorful ham and gruyere. It's a go-to spot for a casual meal or a top-notch takeout experience.
The restaurant specializes in Italian sandwiches, with particular acclaim for the Dom G. (fried eggplant, ricotta, mint) and Prosciutto Cotto. The Jose Special with meatballs and eggplant is also a hit, while the Chicken Parm is considered good but not as outstanding as other options.
