Melbourne’s sandwich culture owes a lot to Italian delicatessens. And one of the standard-bearers is Rocco’s Deli, which has been piling high panini on the west side since 1977. Everyone is ordering its namesake Rocco Roll: your sliced-to-order cold cut(s) of choice with pesto, cheese, eggplant, green olives and semi-dried tomatoes.
Must order: The meatball sub is on the menu sporadically, so if you see it, order it.
