All'Antico Vinaio

Florence has made its way to the Grove! Stopped by on a Monday night to try one of their famous focaccia sandwiches. Service was great & ambiance is casual as it’s located inside the farmers market. Got the Broadway & it was delicious. So much flavor. Definitely will be back to try a sandwich with their pistachio cream, cheers!

First time trying this place. Took the recommendation of the staff to get the most popular sandwich ( i forgot the name but it’s the one with the pistachio ). Bread was great and the everything tasted of quality. The sandwich itself desperately needs something acidic to break it up. Every single bite of the sandwich tastes the same. And while good, by the time I was halfway done I was a little bored.

I have to honestly say, this was one of the best sandwiches I’ve ever had. Let’s start with the bread - focaccia bread - light, crispy on the outside and chewy in the inside. I ordered the LA Fade away with arugula, sundried tomatoes, roasted eggplant with a creamy Gorgonzola sauce. So good! I was happy to see a vegetarian sandwich on their menu. Generous portions, so come hungry!

First had it in NY. I love the truffle Honey! Tuscano is my go To!!!

Got the Paradiso sandwich, which is tasty, the recommended one (with mortadella and pistachio cream), and great bang-for-buck given the size. The combo works really well together, though, I wish the focaccia bread itself were more fresh - and perhaps even a little warm, which would unlock this even more. Could totally be a timing thing though (as we ordered this as a take-away early lunch).

The bread is dry and it tastes bland, dry and chewy! Absolute crap

Panino eccezionale, come il primo che avevo mangiato a Firenze.

New location had efficient service and was delicious. I got the LA Summer which was prosciutto, mozzarella, tomato, and basil on focaccia. It was simple and the ingredients really shined. My husband got a sandwich with porchetta, Gorgonzola, and pistachio cream - the meat was good and the cheese was the most prominent flavor. One sandwich is good for sharing since they are so big or else be prepared to have leftovers! Seating is avail in the Farmers Market. All' Antico Vinaio also offers 90 mins validation for the Farmers Market parking lot.

Located where longstanding Bryan's BBQ Pitt used to occupy is All' Antico Vanaio, a sandwich shop serving amazing Italian sandwiches using Schiacciata, a thinner, less dense version of the focaccia bread. These sandwiches are HUGE. I tried to show the size by taking a pic of my 32 ounce water bottle in the background for comparison. This sandwich is easily shared with two people. The ingredients used to make the sandwich were fresh and of high quality. I am loving the sandwich I ordered La Paradiso. It was my first time eating a sandwich with pistachio cream and it will not be the last! I will be back to try the rest of the menu but for now, i am giving them a strong four for the first visit.

The legendary sandwich shop from Florence is finally here! All'Antico Vinaio is a sandwich shop from Florence Italy that went viral in the last few years and has since expanded internationally, including LA, Vegas, and NY. This is their latest LA location in Fairfax. This location is small with limited seating so it can get pretty hectic. That being said, the staff seems pretty efficient and gets things moving quickly. Whether you want to get a sandwich with crushed pistachio cream or truffle honey, they have something for everyone! Their Italian cold cuts in each one are delicious. The sandwiches are amazing and the bread is nice and flaky but a few things are just not the same. First, the bread just doesn't seem to have the same consistency and freshness as Florence. Second, they aren't nearly as generous with the amount of meat and ingredients you get inside. Third, and related to the first two, is that despite getting a lesser experience you are paying a premium price! The combination of these, coupled with the fact of how good the original is, means I can't really give them more than 4 stars. Overall, if you are craving an Italian sandwich and just want a quick bite, you won't be disappointed. But if you are coming to relive your experience from Florence, you'll find something missing.

My favorite was the LA PARADISO Mortadella, stracciatella, pistachio cream, pistachio Amazing! Delicious! Tasty! Will come again to try other sandwiches!

For a place that just opened and is still training staff, this place is excellent! This was my first experience with All'Antico Vinaio. The focaccia bread was warm -- they briefly bake it before making your sandwich. My prosciutto was sliced on demand. Ingredients were fresh and a dash of salt and olive oil made it perfectly balanced. They assemble the sandwich in front of you so you can see for yourself how clean everything is kept. It's a very filling sandwich and can be shared easily but you will probably want to eat it all on your own. I'm excited to try the other sandwiches. It's a wonderful addition to the Farmers Market. The only meh part was the sparkling water -- plastic bottle sparkling was flat. It's best kept in glass.

the bread was meh & they didn't know the different between prosciutto and porchetta (I ordered porchetta). I go to the market often so I'll try them again but they shouldn't work there if they don't know the difference in various cured meats. I will say I've seen someone order and it looked good. Maybe they were just having an off day? But it was really annoying to pay $20 for a sandwich and get the wrong meat.

Sandwich: 4 out of 5 stars : simple, flavorful, even portions of focaccia to mortadella, the pistachio spread was delish and brought the whole sandwich together, the focaccia had a nice crunch to it but a soft chewy texture overall. Would order again. Service: 2 out of 5 stars: the "order" counter and the "pay" counter causes confusion with the customers and the staff aren't in sync whatsoever with zero communication to assist with the flow of order to pick up. My husband ordered our sandwich, took a step back, walked directly to the "pay" counter and the gentleman at the register asks the gentleman making preparing the sandwich next to him which sandwich he made so he could further ring us up. The gentleman preparing the sandwich had no clue what sandwich he just made and the gentleman at the register has to unfold and open the wrapper around the sandwich to visually distinguish what sandwich to ring us up for. Overall just poorly executed. Granted they just opened this location, I think there's some room for training to assist with the flow of operations.

Literally the best sandwiches ever! Packed with flavor, generous portions and amazing staff that work super hard. Love coming here!

We'd just come back from Italy and craved good panini. Found this spot and loved it. The meats were authentic and the truffle cream is to die for. Our only negative comment is that we wished the panini were stuffed with more meats and veggies.

I love this sandwich spot and am incredibly happy they opened on in the grove...but this one wasn't as wonderful as the one in NY. I am a vegetarian so it's slim pickings on ghd menu so I had a La Broadway sandwich this time instead of my usual caprese. The pistachio cream is delightful!!! Will be coming back...hope they add more stracciatella

All'Antico at the Farmers Market is officially our new obsession! Erin Coscarelli and I stopped by and were blown away by the La Paradiso sandwich every bite was perfection. The ingredients are insanely fresh, the bread is out of this world, and the flavors are next level. The whole vibe is authentic, vibrant, and exactly what LA needed. If you're a sandwich lover, this is a must. Huge shoutout to the All'Antico team, what an incredible addition to the city!

The MOST delicious subs that get you a tiny taste of Rome (although nothing can compare!). Bread is and love the mortadella.

It's seldom that I get a meal that I consider inedible, but the LA District sandwich I got here today was just that. The pancetta was dry, stringy and tough, and the other "fillings" consisted mostly of a huge pile of arugula on what turns out to be soggy focaccia. When I went back to the stand to complain, the workers seemed unconcerned, and in fact disdainful, about my displeasure. I was offered neither an adjustment nor an apology, but simply told I would have to throw the sandwich away myself, as "we don't take back food." Needless to say, I won't go back.

Absolutely delicious. Service impeccable sandwich amazing Highly recommend and will definitely become a regular
