Italian sandwiches with schiacciata bread & creamy spreads























"The Florentine sandwich sensation has opened a second New York outpost—the only locations outside Italy for the business—bringing its signature sandwiches to Soho." - Emma Orlow

"Opening Tuesday, October 4, this Greenwich Village outpost at 225 Sullivan Street (near West Third Street) expands the famed Florentine sandwich shop’s U.S. footprint; the New York locations are the brand’s only brick-and-mortar shops outside Italy. Known for its square, stuffed sandwiches and a tourist-magnet reputation, the expansion was teased on Instagram — with commenters from Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, and other U.S. cities pleading for locations — and no full menu has been posted online, though a list of sandwiches visible in the Instagram post appears to match the Midtown outpost. The shop is open Sunday–Thursday from 11:30 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. and Friday–Saturday from 11:30 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.; All’Antico Vinaio did not return a request for comment, and calls to the Midtown and Greenwich Village shops went unanswered on Tuesday morning." - Luke Fortney

"A modest-sized seeded roll is heaped with deep-fried chickpea fritters along with small round potatoes." - Robert Sietsema
