Tuscan Sandwich Giant All'Antico Vinaio Debuts in London to Massive Crowds

London's culinary scene recently welcomed a new contender as "All'Antico Vinaio," the renowned Italian sandwich shop, officially opened its doors in the city. The opening has drawn significant attention, with queues reportedly stretching down the street, reminiscent of its original Florence location. Food blogger "Eating with Tod" was among the first to sample the offerings, providing an in-depth look at the shop's highly anticipated sandwiches. The establishment prides itself on its signature "Schiacciata bread," which is freshly baked, brushed with oil, and sliced to order, creating a steaming, aromatic base for its fillings. The shop imports all its meats directly from Tuscany, ensuring an authentic Italian taste. "Eating with Tod" showcased two of the prominent sandwiches. One featured stracciatella cheese, a fennel-infused salami, and roasted eggplant, described as "fatty, salty, and crispy." The second, a personal favorite, included 'nduja cream, slow-roasted porchetta, smoked provolone, and roasted eggplant, which the reviewer praised for its "salty richness" and "smokiness." Each sandwich is notably large, with the blogger remarking that they are "literally the size of my face." The long lines and enthusiastic reviews suggest that All'Antico Vinaio is quickly becoming a must-visit destination for sandwich enthusiasts in London, bringing a slice of Tuscan street food culture to the British capital.
