AI summary of what 5 dish mentions say about the food
Reviewers rave about Antico Vinaio's "Medici" sandwich, calling it a masterpiece of cured meats and pecorino. The overall vibe is that of a messy, transcendent, and utterly satisfying Italian street-food experience.
“This is the Medici — prosciutto cotto, arugula, and stracchino. The schiacciata is crunchy, the prosciutto tastes like it was just born, the arugula is fresh. For a chain, the quality is really considerable. It's almost better than what you could make at home.”

Dishes mentioned
Palermo
This is the Palermo special — panelle, sbriciolona, and eggplant cream. The schiacciata is really crunchy, honest for a chain. The panelle are well-made, not bad at all. The salt balance is perfect, with a bit of salt on top. I feel the eggplant a little less, it's there but not a lot, maybe could use a bit more. Overall very good.
Panormus
This is the other Palermo special, without panelle but with ricotta salata. It's very similar to the Palermo, but lighter because there's no panelle. I love ricotta salata, and there could definitely be more of it. The first bite already started stronger because the panelle is atypical for this chain. Very good.
Medici
This is the Medici — prosciutto cotto, arugula, and stracchino. The schiacciata is crunchy, the prosciutto tastes like it was just born, the arugula is fresh. For a chain, the quality is really considerable. It's almost better than what you could make at home.
La Prima
This is the most famous one — spicy eggplant, sbriciolona, and artichoke cream. The gorgonzola cream is the twist, it gives that big flavor. I really taste the fennel this time, it's top. I could eat here every day.
Anteprima Prosciutto Crudo dei Nebrodi
This is a preview, not on the menu yet — prosciutto crudo di suino nero dei Nebrodi with tomato sliced thin. The schiacciata is 30 times crunchier than the others, incredible. The prosciutto is very good, nothing to envy of Parma or San Daniele. It has a super spicy aftertaste, rich in flavors, not basic. The fat starts melting on the schiacciata, pure pleasure. This is the best of all so far.
