This tiny sandwich shop has a lot of outward components that seem to promise an authentic Italian experience : on a side street, an old-timey storefront that looks out of 1950, with hardly any modern decoration besides maybe an Italian soccer team poster, a black and white tiled floor, Italian music being played which you can hear from the street, a one subject menu - sandwiches, and the kicker, packed lines out the door at lunch.

I'd had a coffee before next door which was 100% Italian in every way from the pastries to the espresso quality, so i knew the sandwiches were legit. What I didn't count on was such a primo quality sandwich at such a good price.

Simple sandwiches start around $9 and can go up to $13 before tax. Prosciutto and provolone was $10, one with grilled chicken was $13. I carefully chose a $10.50 sandwich which came to $12 after tax.

My sandwich had speck, smoked provolone, smoked mozzarella, arugula, and truffle oil. Oh. M. Gee.

Not only were the ingredients of good quality but they complimented each other,

That luscious smoked cheese, the salty buttery prosciutto, the spicy arugula and that lascivious truffle oil which was applied so carefully, not in excess.

The bread was almost 2 feet long. The sandwich was enough for 2 or 3 people and I made it into three meals. The bread is fresh.

Despite a packed house - I only had to wait a few minutes for my sandwich.

You can eat at the coffee shop next door" the kind woman told me.

If you're down in Wall St area, just east of city hall, put this place on your list for a to go meal. You won't be disappointed
