Francolini's

The Best Sandwiches in New Orleans | Eater New Orleans

"Standout sandwiches abound at Francolini’s, like the classic Italian, the Gandolfini (hot soppressata, fresh mozzarella, spicy olive salad, and arugula with a Calabrian chili vinaigrette), and the Freddie Freeman (grilled chicken, pesto, fontina, roasted red peppers, and arugula in lemon dijon vinaigrette). Don’t sleep on the mortadella here, either — the latest vessel for the thinly sliced meat is the Updawg, a brilliant bite with the addition of ricotta spread; there’s also a new turkey sandwich, the Florence. The shop might just be the most exciting sandwich development to hit New Orleans since the po’ boy." - Beth D’Addono
