Panino

The panino, often referred to as panini in the U.S., is a quintessential Italian sandwich with bread like ciabatta or focaccia, quality meats, and fresh, local ingredients.

Panino Con Il Lampredotto

This Florentine street food is a cow's stomach chopped and slowly simmered with herbs and vegetables, served in a soft roll with spicy green Tuscan sauce.

Porchetta di Ariccia

From the small town of Ariccia, this sandwich involves taking a whole, boneless pork and seasoning it with a blend of herbs before slowly roasting it for hours.
The skin becomes perfectly crispy while the interior remains tender and juicy. When sliced and served in a fresh roll, it captures the essence of Roman countryside cooking.

Puccia

The Puccia from Puglia comes on a round, thick loaf with a crispy exterior and soft interior hollowed out for fillings like fresh cheeses, cured meats, and vegetables.

5 e 5

Hailing from Tuscany, the 5 e 5 primarily contains a chickpea fritter and bread roll. The batter is cooked on a copper pan until it has a golden, slightly crispy exterior.
