Florentine import serving massive, flavor-packed schiacciata sandwiches. A must-try for hearty, satisfying eats.
This Italian sandwich shop, originating from Florence, is known for its massive and flavorful schiacciata sandwiches. Customers rave about the generous portions and high-quality ingredients, making it a popular spot for a satisfying and hearty meal. While the price point is on the higher side, many find the size and taste justify the cost, with some suggesting a single sandwich can be shared.
The restaurant specializes in large Italian sandwiches made on schiacciata bread. Popular choices include the 'Paradiso' with mortadella and pistachio cream, and various combinations with cured meats and cheeses. While many find the sandwiches to be very good and filling, a few commenters feel they are overpriced for what they offer or that the NYC versions don't match the quality of those in Italy.
"The 'Paradiso' sandwich with mortadella, stracciatella, and pistachio cream is frequently recommended. The 'La Primavera' special and 'L'Inferno' sandwich with porchetta are also mentioned positively."
Customers generally praise the generous portions and delicious flavors of the sandwiches, though some find them pricey and suggest they don't quite live up to the hype or the original Italian versions.
