All'Antico Vinaio

"In 2019, All’Antico Vinaio popped up in NYC, and the lines made people seriously weigh the value of their time against the need for an Italian sandwich. A permanent location of this Florence import opened on 8th Ave, and it’s a great option for a quick bite before you head to a theater. The sandwiches—all on Tuscan schiacciata bread—are huge and most have creamy spreads that come in varieties like pistachio and ‘nduja. This place only has a few stools, so plan on eating on the sidewalk." - neha talreja, bryan kim, hannah albertine, sonal shah, will hartman, molly fitzpatrick

"All’Antico Vinaio, originally from Florence, Italy, is known for its robustly stuffed sandwiches on fluffy schiacciata bread. It has expanded to various locations including Milan, Rome, New York, and now Las Vegas. The Las Vegas location will open at Uncommons in June. The restaurant, founded by the Mazzanti family in 1989, started as a wine bar with a sandwich counter. Popular sandwiches include La Favalosa with Tuscan salami and pecorino cream, and L’Inferno with nduja salami and porchetta." - Janna Karel

"In 2019, All’Antico Vinaio popped up in NYC, and the lines made people seriously weigh the value of their time against the need for an Italian sandwich. A permanent location of this Florence import is now in Midtown, and everything on the sandwich-only menu uses thin, crusty Tuscan schiacciata bread. They offer a lot of popular Italian meats like prosciutto and mortadella, but what’s unique are their creamy spreads that come in varieties like pistachio and ‘nduja. The sandwiches are huge, and once you try one, you’ll want to try the rest. It’s good to have goals." - Team Infatuation

This place has enough room for around five to stand at a counter, and it’s a good option for a quick bite before a Broadway show or a lunch if you work in the area.

"Order L’Inferno, which is stuffed with pork roast porchetta and then adds creamed salami, grilled and diced veggies, and arugula." - Robert Sietsema
