Nailing old-school Italian deli sandwiches in new-school surrounds – that’s what makes Stefanino a star. Crunchy ciabatta rolls are stuffed with freshly shaved salami, tomato, buffalo mozzarella and basil, or house-roasted porchetta, roasted peppers, provolone and Dijon. You can also build your own from a selection of salumi, cheeses, spreads, and fresh and preserved produce. Then beat the post-lunch slump with an espresso and cannoli.

Good to know: Drop in before noon if you want to skip the lunch rush.
