[CLOSED] Paninoteca

Buffalo mozz, speck, porcini cream, rosemary oil, rocket

Can't rmb exactly, but everything was of good quality. However at this price it's quite difficult to be impressed, personally, as it's quite a mildly flavoured sandwich with the only seasoning coming from the salty speck(basically Parma ham tbh). Ingredients and portion was generous(it's huge actl, I barely managed to finish), but the bread was only mildly crispy. Porcini cream wasn't even cream, it's just very mild confit porcini i think

Overall it's decent, not god-like, definitely not at this price. Also it's in Osteria by doc, there's no "paninoteca" except on the paper wrapping

The schiacciata bread was crisp outside, chewy and pliable on the inside. Montanaro came with porcini cream, rocket salad, tomatoes, speck (a smoked cured ham similar to Parma ham), buffalo mozzarella and rosemary oil; Salumi came with tapenade (olive, anchovy spread), mixed salad, salami, cooked ham, garlic oil.

Speck was quite fatty, but flavourful and not salty! Had to Google what speck was :p Am not v big on cured meats but I definitely prefer this over parma, which is way too salty for me :x The buffalo mozzarella had a springy texture and tasted quite fresh! The rocket & tomatoes gave some green freshness to the sandwich. I think oil x bread is a good combi, so this was q enjoyable.

They were quite generous with the salami, which was slightly spicy and salty. It’s a flavourful sandwich, but overall it tasted as expected, nothing too mindblowing.

Doesn’t look very huge but we were quite full! Looking forward to my next visit here for a toasty hot sandwich, we had this on a picnic so we couldn’t have it crisp but the bread held up very nicely :)

A GOD-LIKE SANDWICH 🤩 I must say their Schiacciata (crispy, chewy, flavourful) is super well made and the balance in the ingredients was spot on as well. 10/10 will be back even if its gna burn a hole in my pocket.

Less than a month old, Paninoteca in Tras Street has the perfect panacea for your post soju and Hite midnight munchies. Taking inspiration from world famous panini bar All’Antico Vinaio in Florence, this charming little space is not only a deli but also serves up freaking delicious sandwiches made from the produce on sale as well.

The NY Brisketti is comfort food for the drunk, with excellent crusty yet light and fluffy bread coddling well-seasoned roast bell peppers,
tartar cream, baby spinach, and saucy as well as tender beef brisket. Crumbs of ricotta added a pleasing salty sharpness to each bite. At close to $17, it’s a little too pricy for everyday dining, but I can’t wait to try their other sandwiches whch are much cheaper.

Taste: 3.5/5

bread and tartar cream was on point, not too sour. definitely a meal worth of serving and you can take away from inside your car! just wave to order! 👋🏻
