I went for the Roma which had Mortadella, Stracciatella, and Pistachio. My wife had the Vegetariana which had Mozzarella, Grilled Courgette, and Sun-dried Tomato. We had a Coke Zero to share and ate in store.
I enjoyed my sandwich, but I think I enjoyed the bite of my wife's one more!
The Roma sandwich had perfectly balanced pistachio filling — really enjoyable. The Spagna sandwich is loaded with roasted peppers; if you're not a fan, best to skip it.
Two minor drawbacks: only about 6 dine-in seats available, and the sandwiches are served cold (not toasted/warmed). A warm option would have been nicer, especially in winter.
Still, excellent bang for your buck — worth a visit especially when you don’t have time to sit and eat.
Angelo was so kind and ensured we pronounced the sandwich names correctly - grazie!!
