All'Antico Vinaio

Run by the Mazzanti family since 1991, this outpost brings its traditional Tuscan flavors to the Upper East Side. While some visitors note the kitchen serves less meat and sauce than the Italian originals, the sandwiches rely on high-quality ingredients. Standouts include La Paradiso, featuring a combination of mortadella, pistachio cream, and stracciatella. Unlike many tight sandwich counters, this location offers a clean, spacious seating area in the back that accommodates small to medium groups looking to dine in.
