AI summary of what 1 dish mentions say about the food
“I spent €6.50 for a sandwich with everything — mortadella, porchetta, stracciata, scamorza, sundried tomatoes, mustard, caramelized onions. They make cold sandwiches, then press them on the griddle. The bread is beautiful — big, with a nice crunchy crust, and after griddling it gets even crunchier. Look at this: the bread is crunchy outside, soft inside. It's good, really full. The caramelized onion — mamma mia, how it sings. It's a great sandwich, maybe too many ingredients, but for €6.50 I can't complain. The porchetta is sliced thin on a slicer, so it chews well with everything. The eggplant is very good. Giulia tried it and said the bread is perfect. My only note: it's really too much stuff, but for the price I love it. It's a cold sandwich place, so I can't give more than 8.5 because they don't cook sausage or hamburger — that's the concept. But 8.5, full.”
