| - I'm going to be a regular at this place...I just know it!
Let me begin by taking you back to my foodie childhood...I was 12. I went to a cafe in my hometown that piled sandwiches with mortadella, provolone, sopressata, prosciutto, olive tapenade, and other fine ingredients - ingredients that would send this 12-year-old into a tizzy. I went here frequently, as to appease my early-developed palate. This place I speak of closed when I was 15. Never have I achieved the same sandwich nirvana....
......until now, fourteen years later.
Could it be? Yes, it was! I had found the same sandwich nirvana!
My nirvana included the mortadella, prosciutto, salami, and asiago sandwich. First off, I ordered the full sandwich, not the half. Why? I was hungry (duh). Then I opened my takeout container. I wasn't that hungry. Needless to say, you get a lot of bang for your buck (approximately $9 for two hefty sandwich halves).
I also ordered the meatball sandwich with the deli's homemade meatballs. The sauce was well-balanced, the meatballs were tender, not tough, and it was topped on a crusty roll and high-quality cheese.
My next Carlo & Emilie's trip will include the cannoli....stay tuned.
