| - While I probably would not go out of my way to eat here, I would likely eat here at least once a week if worked nearby, if not more.
As Spolumbo's recognizes that it has a reputation to uphold, the menu recommends that newcomers try one of three items:
1) The Spolumbo Special (a cold sandwich with mortadella, capicollo, prosciutto, lettuce, tomato, and red pepper spread)
2) The Italian Sausage
3) A Turkey Sandwich (for those wanting something a bit healthier)
So naturally, I dug into the Spolumbo Special because I can't resist prosciutto. And it tasted like a standard italian deli sandwich. It wasn't amazing, like the muffuletta at the Central Grocery in New Orleans, but definitely crave-worthy. It was also gigantic - you could eat one half one day and save the other for the next.
And I liked how they served a crispy doughnut hole covered with powdered sugar with my sandwich - that was a nice, and tasty, if unhealthy touch.
The building itself is rather cavernous, with very high ceilings, but it also has lots of windows and plenty of seating.
