It was a fun environment with the guys entertaining the crowds and van roth and motley crue playing on the speakers.
The sandwiches were delicious. They use a thin, hard, crispy, crunchy focaccia that holds up until you finish the last bite. The porchetta in the l’inferno was my favorite and one of the best I’ve ever had. It was cut thin and was silky smooth, moist and fatty. @Chowseeker1999
The only negative was the “10% service charge” bullshit which I didn’t see mentioned anywhere and on top of that you’re expected to tip one of their suggested tips of 23%, 20%, and 18%. And if that wasn’t enough of a kick in the bomboloni there’s also a tip jar on the counter where they make the sandwiches. It’s like an additional tip line for the additional tip line. @thecookie.
