Massive Italian sandwiches on fluffy, crisp schiacciata bread
"A Florence-born sandwich shop known for its schiacciata sandwiches; a recent favorite is the La District, topped with thin-sliced pancetta, pecorino cream, sun-dried tomatoes, and arugula. The thin-sliced pancetta is described as salty and fatty, which balances the acidity of the sun-dried tomatoes. The pecorino cream “has all the flavors of a more traditional sliced pecorino; its lush consistency ensures there are no naked corners of the sandwich.” The arugula provides a welcome, peppery green against the richness of the other ingredients. The La District is priced at $17 right now but is noted to be easily large enough to feed two, and staff are always generous with toppings. — Rebecca Roland, editor, Southern California/Southwest" - Eater Staff
"All’antico Vinaio is a viral Florentine sandwich shop that recently opened in Venice and is planning to open its next two locations in Los Angeles. A Koreatown location is set to debut on March 29 at 3925 West 6th Street, while the Beverly Hills location will open later this summer." - Rebecca Roland
"This famous Florence spot is known for their giant Italian sandwiches and crisp, fluffy schiacciata, and while they already have a shop in New York City, the west coast will get its first permanent location in Los Angeles following multiple sold-out pop-ups. Expect piles of prosciutto and mortadella layered with creamy spreads, and, if the Florence and NYC locations are any indication, long lines. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists." - Team Infatuation
"All'Antico Vinaio, the famous Florence focaccia sandwich phenom, is expanding to Los Angeles with the help of Nancy Silverton, planning for three locations around the city." - Farley Elliott
