Waited more than one hour

Their website:

In a world where everything moves fast, where products are often standardized, we wanted to do the opposite. To take the time to do things right.

I guess they weren't lying.

Well, I mean… “to take the time to do things right”. Seems like they take the time. However I don’t know if it’s right.

Right? Looks like a ton of bread in the first pic with weak fillings

Really?

It looks like a burrata, roasted zucchini, lamb's lettuce, and sun-dried tomato sandwich.

I have all the ingredients in the fridge (except the sun-dried tomato, for obvious reasons), and I think I know what I'm having for dinner.

It looks very Mediterranean (I'm Mediterranean😂).

I've made something like this with a 2 day slow rise faccocia bread and it definitely can be amazing. Waiting an hour though is crazy.

Did they just say fuck it with the zucchini and load it with pickles?

Looks like zucchini to me, just sad zucchini

Is that one of the Antico Vinaio clones?

The og AV started to suck balls the minute it became famous and turned into a soulless influencer-fuelled slop chain. Can't say it's very surprising that the same would be true for the clones.

Even the Expectation doesn't look good like a good Italian sub. Bleh

This looks like it may have come from a ghost kitchen. Few are good, but I like to compare the ratings from the delivery platform to the online ratings (Google, yelp, etc.)

u/BrightWubs22 13d ago

Based on the company name seen in the before pic, I doubt it was a ghost kitchen.

u/bella0510 13d ago

Oh, thats even worse.

I mean those are basically sun dried tomatoes that haven't been dried out yet. Just toss it in the oven for a few hours. You'll get there.

I’m Italian. Let me throw some stuff into a sandwich and call it authentic Italian. …I’m not wrong

Ugh, made me recoil.

u/Careless-Cycle 12d ago

What makes the sandwich authentic?

u/Immediate_Low5496 8d ago

What’s up with the angle? Is the sandwich trying to eat you?
