Reviewers rave about the focaccia ripiena con porchetta e patate, calling it a masterful, savory sandwich. The overall vibe is one of rustic, unpretentious perfection.
“This focaccia is not the best you could ever eat, but it's super honest. The porchetta is sliced by machine, the potatoes underneath are seasoned with rosemary and well grilled. The provola is good, the focaccia is crunchy. I'd give it an 8, maybe 8.5. It's a good product — warm, pleasant, well composed. No wonder they're opening more locations.”
