Sandwiches, pastries, coffee, and L'Artusi sauces for grab-and-go
"This pressed sandwich says fall: Taleggio cheese, poached figs, and prosciutto di Parma, dressed with arugula-almond pesto on slices of crusty sourdough. Annealed in the warm embrace of the sandwich press, the cheese melts and oozes, the prosciutto is a strong and salty presence, and the fig provides sweetness, $15.25." - Robert Sietsema
"Also on Hudson, the sandwich shop Via Porta is another of L’Artusi’s sibling spots." - Melissa McCart
"From the L’Artusi team, the uova funghi ($14.75) is a rich, scaled-down panino served on a square roll that crisps in the press; it's brimming with moist, creamy scrambled eggs that form a matrix for sautéed mushrooms with gouda and lemon aioli, and there's a surprise dotting of pancetta transformed into crouton-like bits." - Robert Sietsema
"Adjacent to B’Artusi, Via Porta is an all-day West Village cafe offering Italian-leaning pastries like cacio e pepe scones and carrot cake muffins, breakfast items such as porridge with lemon yogurt and orange-fennel compote, sandwiches like a chicken cutlet with pesto on a Parisi Bakery roll and a Sicilian tuna salad with orange slices, plus a market zone selling L’Artusi pasta sauce for at-home cooking." - Emma Orlow
"Next door at 522 Hudson Street, Via Porta will build on L’Artusi’s pandemic-era meal kits by offering pastries, sandwiches, salads, and snacks for breakfast and lunch; a featured breakfast sandwich riffs on L’Artusi’s popular roasted mushrooms served with pancetta, ricotta salata, and a fried egg. The shop will also sell jars of ragu and bolognese and other pantry items introduced during the pandemic, including pickled vegetables, peppers, and preserved lemons." - Bao Ong
