"The focaccia/schiachiatta trend across Los Angeles culminates in stylish sandwich shop Lorenzo, a melding of Italian ingredients with California seasonal produce. Sandwiches here are expertly constructed with the proper ratios of meat or cheese to vegetables and spreads. A concept originally influenced by Italy’s rapidly expanding All’Antico Vinaio, these focaccia sandwiches look the part on social media too. The namesake Lorenzo features layered mortadella with the nutty flavors of toasted pistachio and parmesan pate, with warmth from roasted red pepper and a bright herbal hit of basil. The loaded Tonno is another terrific pick, stuffed with chopped canned tuna, celery, red onions, and giardiniera, topped with lemon zest and arugula. Take the sandwiches and enjoy in Beverly Hills’ serene public parks for a reasonably priced lunch in LA’s most expensive area. Order takeout or delivery through Uber Eats. — Matthew Kang, lead editor, Eater Southern California/Southwest" - Rebecca Roland
