Anthony's Paninoteca

If you are looking for a unbelievably great hero this is the place to get it! I have had multiple sandwiches from Anthony’s and they have all been delicious . Give it a try and you won’t be disappointed!

One of the best roast beef sandwiches I ever had "Do it for Johnny" , you have to try it. Very nice and friendly service. Love this little neighborhood shop!

Delicious and Fresh! Found this place through the Taste of the Towns trolley tour and now keep going back. It is a must try. I have tried the Steak Pizzaiola, 9-11 Hero, Do it for Johnny and the Pastrami Reuben. Keep doing what your doing – delicious!

A nice, local sandwich shop. It is within walking distance to another sandwich shop, but the products between the two are so different that I wouldn't be worried about much overlap. The products in this paninoteca are distinctly Italian in focus. I was expecting only paninis, but they sell sandwiches in general, and dessert. The sandwiches are quite large and so the price is not that ridiculous. It's also a relatively new addition to the neighborhood.
The location is conveniently by the SIM bus and SIR line, for those who can't be bothered to drive because of the parking issues sometimes by Amboy. It's largely a takeout operation, with only a small table for outdoor seating, and a standing area if you want to rest your elbows.
The inner decor is very monochrome and clean, with marble checker floors, white walls, and black ceilings. Blue lights break up the monotony, along with silvery chandeliers, giving a very crisp feel. There are foods on display next to the cashier, and you can see the sandwiches being made in the kitchen and behind the counter.
The menu is quite simple, but diverse enough. There are cold and hot sandwiches, salads, sides, and drinks. Sides are not like typical fries and include arancini.
I got the Anthony's Hot Sandwich, which has the porchetta and a stock for dipping. I ordered upfront instead of online, so I had to wait a bit for the bread to toast and all, but it wasn't that bad a wait. Service is nice and quick and the staff are friendly, open to talk.
The sandwich was definitely not dry, absolutely dripping with excess stock and juice from the peppers and meat, which I think was soaked after being cooked. The pickled vegetables were the strongest flavor in the bite, with the provolone, garlic bread, and porchetta being more muted and just melting into one savory flavor. The stock provided for dipping is extremely rich and feels very luscious in the mouth. I was absolutely stuffed after eating that. Overall it was a good choice for lunch.

Oh my God. I live nearby and am so upset I am moving because this INCREDIBLE place just opened up and I just want to get food from here any chance I get. So delicious! Best prosciutto! High quality! Portions are huge where you can share, but at the same time if you have no self control like me, you‘ll be happily stuffed and satisfied for the rest of the day. Definitely my favorite take out spot.
