"After closing for much of the pandemic, this Astoria panini spot is back open with a long menu of sandwiches served on pressed ciabatta. Get one with cured meat, like the speck with apricot butter, apple, and goat cheese. The sandwiches here aren’t necessarily large enough to constitute an entire meal, so get one of the huge salads or some crostinis on the side. Keep Il Bambino in mind for a casual date option with charcuterie, crostinis, and wine." - Hannah Albertine
