Sandwich review: ALL' ANTICO VINAIO (NYC location)

[@BossAttack]

I went to Florence a couple months ago and Antico Vinaio was immediately on my list of places to go amidst all the other amazing sites. That goddamn sandwich did not disappoint. Holy moly! We literally do not have anything like that in the States, and I'm happy they've expanded to at least NYC. Amazing.

[@pizzareviewsonthego]

We have a lot of great Italian delis here but yeah, that Vinaio is unique.

[@limegpt]

Italian delis in the US are way better than Antico Vinaio

[@jerryoshea3116]

​@@pizzareviewsonthego I was just looking at the reviews of the one in Vegas,where I live ( $17 or $18 for Sandwich) but as u said it did look different! So i probably will check it out ( I want the Turkey Sand,I think it's called a Paradisio. And I liked ur choice of Music& NYC looks alive..But NYC has some great Deli!

Ive been waiting to try this place one day I will get there I watched a full video of the shop in Italy and it looked amazing

I went to All'Antico Vinaio in Florence. My sandwich was delicious! Looking forward to visiting NYC this month to try out one of the NYC locations.

[@pizzareviewsonthego]

Be prepared to pay more here in NYC. But it's understandable because they import everything.

[@dirkdiggler9482]

Looks excellent. Right away, the bread reminded me of the pizza crust made in Rome, most notably at Bonci. Looks to me like Roman pizza crust sliced in half and stuffed. Those ingredients all sound great to me. I wish there was something like that in my town.

Great review. Your right the sandwiches/panino are certainly one of a kind authentic Roman offerings at this place. I still say legendary Brooklyn deli “Lioni’s Italian Heroes” on 15th Ave in Dyker Heights is the gold standard for Italian-American classics. Great array of offerings, high-end ingredients and the place reeks of Brooklyn attitude inside.

[@pizzareviewsonthego]

I didn’t know you did Italian delis. There are a bunch of legendary salumeria in NJ. I’ll always take high quality ingredients in lesser quantities over mass-produced factory meats like Boars Head.

[@pizzareviewsonthego]

I review Italian food from time to time...sandwiches, pastas, etc. Once every few months I'll do something other than pizza, but I only review Italian food because I know it well. Jersey is so underappreciated.

[@AerysBat]

I ordered the exact same two sandwiches when I went lol. Also loved the Boss sandwich, that truffle cream is unreal! I had no problem with the amount of meat myself, since the bread is so light and airy the sandwiches felt nicely balanced the way they are. But I agree that tomatoes would add something.

[@pizzareviewsonthego]

I would not have minded a little more of that Fiorentine Salami on that first sandwich. But yeah, you are right, it wasn't too bad. I actually don't like an overstuffed sandwich. I like it just right.

[@davecurry5604]

I knew with the 2nd sandwich when the eyes went up and the finger it was a boss sandwich.

[@NoahEats]

I will make a note to visit

[@DT718]

Try Sal kris and Charlie in queen and defonte’s in Brooklyn, you probably did

[@pizzareviewsonthego]

I did, but never filmed there. Plan on it someday...

[@itslowtide4690]

I saw another video on the Florence location and the sandwich prices were 5 and 6 euros. Our US prices are so expensive for everything.

[@pizzareviewsonthego]

They're known for the quality as well as affordability but yes, here in New York, they're double the price. I guess it's because they import everything. Hey, I'd still pay $18 for a sandwich that size anyday.

[@fleekdasheek9176]

Can they grill press the sandwiches?

[@pizzareviewsonthego]

No they don't grill press. They won't even mix the meats.

[@foodietraveler4301]

Good video. Can’t wait to get back to Italy and have them. 6 locations over there. Fabolosa- $7. Hate paying $17 for the NY version that’s about half the size as the original

That same storefront used to have an amazing burger place. Union Square Burger. It caught my eye because it had rave reviews. The city closed them because the kitchen didnt have a good exhaust. One example of a great place forced out of business.

I don’t understand the point of reviewing a Florentine sandwich and then complaining that it’s not the same as the kind of sandwich you’d get in Brooklyn (I.e stuffed full). Sometimes less is more.

[@pizzareviewsonthego]

I think the sandwiches are delicious, but they're very different from what you'd get in other parts of the city. That's all. People here want to those meaty monstrosities. I love that they don't mix the meats. I'll never mix mortadella with a salami, or whatever, etc. I agree less is more, especially in this case. I do think they could put a litte more meat though.

[@blupampurio5995]

The high price in NYC(17€) i think is due to the elevate tax imposed by Food&Drug Admin. to the original tuskan foods importation in the USA....
