"At Calabria Brothers, you can stock up on bronze-cut pasta and calabrian chilis while waiting for a massive deli sandwich to come your way. The deli and market in the Excelsior nails gargantuan sandwiches stuffed with thinly sliced porchetta, prosciutto, or all-beef meatballs, all layered between fluffy sourdough or soft rolls. They’re weighty stunners that could easily last two meals. photo credit: Monica Lo Food Rundown photo credit: Monica Lo Calabria Bros The house special, for good reason. It’s a simple sandwich with prosciutto, roasted peppers, and mozzarella on sourdough. Eat it cold, as is. photo credit: Monica Lo The “Dan” Tender slices of porchetta and two types of garlic sauce (hot and pesto) make this our go-to. It’s all pressed between a soft roll that soaks up every last bit of mustard, mayo, oil, and vinegar like a chia pet." - Julia Chen
