Panino del salumiere (con capocollo e ricotta e cicoli)
This sandwich has a super complex aromatic profile — from the spicy cheese to the savory capocollo and the mandarin marmalade. It's a revolution of simple ingredients from a 1950s salumi counter. The bread was a bit gummy and hard at 5 PM, but if you come in the morning when the bread is fresh, it's perfect. Overall, I'd give it a 9/10.
