"Salumi is a Seattle institution founded by Mario Batali’s father, Armandino. The Batali family has since sold the bulk of its stake in the place, but the sandwich shop remains largely unchanged. The meatballs are fairly famous at this point but the porchetta, with some sharp chimichurri sauce, is a terrific lunch as long as you can take a nap at your desk afterward. The Grindhouse is such a well-balanced Italian sandwich that we’re not even mad about the dill pickles in there. Just be warned that there’s typically a wait during peak lunch hours." - Meg van Huygen, Harry Cheadle
