"Farina Di Vita is celebrated for its excellent traditional hoagies, made with Italian deli meats and cheeses." - Regan Stephens
"This takeout-only Queen Village shop, a warm and friendly bastion of Philly’s favorite handheld, makes some of the city’s best hoagies and cutlet sandwiches. Of course there’s a fantastic Italian, but it’s The Papale Special, stacked with pepper turkey, creamy Cooper Sharp, and olive oil that’s the surprisingly simple hoagie standout, while The Damien, a cutlet sandwich packed with hot soppressata, pepper shooters, and fresh mozzarella, is a strong contender for the best sandwich on this side of Broad. Call ahead to order, or prepare to be (extremely) disappointed since they sell out early." - candis mclean, alison kessler

"Farina Di Vita, co-created by Jason Okdeh, participated in the Philly Sammiekase event at Next of Kin. They aimed to tell the story of the sandwich, featuring English tea sandwiches, Japanese egg salad sandwiches, and premium ingredients like A5 Wagyu, Caviar, and Jawndiments products. The style of an omakase was chosen to narrate this story, showcasing appreciation for various cultures through food." - Ernest Owens
"This takeout-only Queen Village shop, a warm and friendly bastion of South Philly’s favorite handheld, makes some of the city’s best hoagies and cutlet sandwiches. Of course there’s a fantastic Italian, but The Papale Special, stacked with pepper turkey, creamy Cooper Sharp, and olive oil is the surprisingly simple hoagie standout. If cutlets are more your speed, the Damien is a crispy, spicy delight. Grab one on a day off or for lunch and doctor them with all the L,T,O, and peppers you like, and call ahead to order (especially on weekends, when they sell out early)." - candis mclean, alison kessler
