"Calabria Brothers in the Excelsior is a one-stop shop for all things Italian. The sandwiches, both hot and cold, are weighty stunners overstuffed with thinly sliced prosciutto, beef meatballs, or salami. Our favorite is the “Dan,” packed with porchetta and two types of garlic sauce. While you wait for your order, wander the shelves of calabrian chilis, every imaginable pasta shape, and even focaccia fresh from Liguria." - julia chen 1, patrick wong
