AI summary of what 4 dish mentions say about the food
Spianata calabra con salsa tonnata is the standout, earning raves for its bold, balanced flavors. The overall vibe is of hearty, unpretentious satisfaction that keeps regulars coming back.
“This is a cold sandwich, 20 cm long, with bread from the baker — it's perfect, fresh, very crunchy and crumbly. The tonnata sauce is out of this world, I can't explain why but it's really good, you can taste it even though the spianata calabra is spicy. The consistency is just right, not too liquid or too dense. They ran out of taleggio so they put in some Piedmontese toma, which I appreciate a lot — it's good too, though a bit overpowered by the other flavors. The spianata calabra is generous, not aggressively spicy, almost sweet. Overall an excellent cold sandwich, I'd give it a 9- because it's so abundant, well-balanced, and fairly priced at €6.50.”

Master Sandwich in Turin is a highly recommended sandwich shop by locals, and I loved all three sandwiches I tried, especially the heavy spianata calabra one.
Dishes mentioned
Super Preciso
This one has pancetta, sun-dried tomatoes, basil cream, ricotta, and rocket. I'm not a fan of sun-dried tomatoes usually, but I like this. It's nice and hot, a little spicy, and even romantic in the rain. Maybe I need to find shelter.
Panino con Spianata Calabra
This one has spianata calabra, tuna sauce, tomato, salad, and other things, plus pickled onions. It's a real comfort, but not too light. A caress with a heavy hand. I think this might be my favourite, it's very heavy.
Panino con Salsiccia di Bra, Tartare di Carne Cruda, Formaggio di Capra e Miele
This one has granella di nocciole, salsiccia di Bra, tartare di carne cruda, formaggio di capra e miele. After drinking my first sip of water, I taste the goat cheese, sausage, and hazelnuts. The hazelnuts are fun, they intersect in the bite. I'm not sure which is my favourite, maybe the spianata calabra one.
