Saveur Magizine named All’Antico Vinaio sandwiches as “BEST IN THE WORLD.”
The legendary Florence Italy Based sandwich shop recently opened in southwest Las Vegas (about 8 miles from the strip) in the Uncommons at Durango and the 215.
Opening weekend it was standing in line only and the line went around the block.
They offer over a dozen different sandwiches on schiacciata bread. About 10 of them contain pork. There’s one beef sandwich, one turkey sandwich, and 5 vegetarian sandwiches.
We waited in line and got to the counter in about an hour.
The owner in the red shirt is hard at work with his employees. They also only have one slicer to slice fresh the meat on sandwiches directly to the bread.
I read the reviews and I thought I’d like the vegetarian sandwich called The Broadway Best.
In the Schiacciata bread is tasty toasted pistachio cream, creamy stracciatella cheese, tangy sun-dried tomatoes, (it was suppose to be….) spicy zucchini, and bitter arugula. This is too much bread for me so I removed the top layer of bread and brought it home and ate the bottom layer folded over.
I had no idea that pistachio cream and the stracciatta cheese would be such a game changer in a sandwich…….It’s such a combination that you have to try…..They sort of messed up on the zucchini….It’s there but it is just squishy plain zucchini. If it was spicy I think this sandwich would have popped! It’s still good though….
My husband tried two sandwiches and had extras to bring home.
Paradisco- Mortadella, Stracciatella, pistachio cream, pistachios – He saids that the meat was very good.
Inferno – VERY GOOD and peppery Porchetta, Nduju (sausage spread), (It’s suppose to have grilled vegetables, arugula.
He really enjoyed the porchetta. He hasn’t had porchetta that was really great in a long time. It would have been better with the grilled vegetables but they were missing…Still a good sandwich. He preferred this sandwich over the Paradisco (Mortadella sandwich)
Of course All’Antico Vinaio is Worth a TRY! Who doesn’t want to try sandwiches that are called “Best in the World”

Every THING is subject to change.
That’s very close to my house. I need to give it a try. Thank you for sharing.
Yes and if you weren’t there yet you might want to try Via Focaccia at the Ellis Island. Same bread sandwiches but different. Both are very good but different.
