Luved this spot in the market place in the Grove. It is right next to the entrance from the mall. William was such a helpful sandwich artisan when we were trying to figure out which delicious monstrosity we should try. To be honest I think anything you choose would be delightful you really can't go wrong. My husband and I are planning a trip to Florence in the fall and William mentioned this was a branch of the same place. He looked up the 5 trending sandwiches in Florence and I chose the Al Dante & my son picked the mortadella with stratichelli cheese. Both sandwiches were standouts they were so good we kept smiling and eating at the same time. Definitely get lots of napkins!! Your fingers will be covered in deliciousness. We also ordered interesting drinks. The Sicilian orange flavored pop was so refreshing after eating such rich tasting cheese and deli meats. You really need to try them together. Overall a great find in the middle of The Grove in LA- A Florencian staple for rustic sandwiches!!! read more

All'Antico Vinaio - Supposedly, the most popular sandwich on the menu - Sandwiches Near Me - Los Angeles, California

An absolutely delicious sandwich. We tried several, one was a vegetarian option with sun dried tomato, spicy eggplant, arugula. It was good, but the real star is the mortadella options. Any variety with mortadella is devine! The stratichella cheese is so yummy- almost like a buratta, a very soft, milky fresh mozzerella. The simpler the better- I had one with pistachio Pesto - very rich! The soft thin focaccia is perfect too. Plan ahead because if you go on weekends the line will be long and they take their time making the sandwiches (all made to order). Is it worth the wait? I'd say so! read more

All'Antico Vinaio - Anticipation! - Sandwiches Near Me - Los Angeles, California

We ordered the La Toscana (subbed truffle honey for the Calabrian Chili Honey) and the size itself is nice for one person (although it can be split). The ingredients were nice quality especially the cheese. Big fan of focaccia bread so that's what drew us in. The flavors were there since we subbed for spicy honey. You are getting a specific style of an Italian sandwich and they do that well but for some the price with quantity is okay. read more

After coming to this sandwich shop a few more times, I now consider one of my favorite spots to get a sandwich. I have always gotten great friendly service here. That with get getting great sandwiches keeps me want to come back. My coworkers also love this spot and we often times get sandwiches to share so we can try more of the menu. Right now, my favorite is the LA PARADISO . This is located in the Farmers Market so the vibe is very casual and chill. read more

I finally -- FINALLY -- made it to All'Antico Vinaio after seeing countless online videos of people eating sandwiches "to die for." The only thing in those videos larger than the sandwiches are the crowds lining up, so I was happy to see just a few people waiting at the cozy counter inside the Farmer's Market. This stall, right inside the main entrance from the front parking lot, was inherited from a venerable BBQ spot that occupied the space for decades, but the new owners have scrubbed it clean and there's no lingering hint of hickory to affect the shop's signature spreads cooling inside pristine white cases. I ordered the Paradiso: Mortadella with Stracciatella (the gooey inside of a burrata without the shell to hold it together), Pistachio Cream and Crushed Pistachios. It's their biggest seller, and with good reason. Cradled on fresh baked, piping hot Focaccia, these 4 relatively straightforward ingredients somehow combine to make a transformative bite. It literally stops you in your tracks as your tastebuds register what's going on and activate the pleasure centers of your brain. It's a big sandwich. They all are. Easily shared by 2 or more, especially if cut into smaller pieces and mixed & matched with other sandwiches. Alas, I was dining alone, so this wasn't an option, but I will absolutely be coming back very soon with others in tow to begin sampling the menu top to bottom. As always, seating at the Farmer's Market is communal and can be crowded depending on when you're here. But the Market's staff does a great job of clearing tables and quickly turning them over as people depart. Don't forget to validate your parking when you grab your sandwich -- and don't arrive without an appetite, because these sandwiches require some space your tummy will be happy to provide. read more

Solid Italian sandwich spot located at the Farmer's Market by the Grove. I ordered the La Schiacciata Del Boss and it was pretty good. It was pretty much just bread, meat, and truffle spread. The meats were nice and smoky and I liked the savory truffle cream. I wish there was a little more filling though. The bread wasn't super fresh, but still good. It would've been nice if the sandwich could also contain cheese and fresh veggies. I even overheard another customer asking if they can modify their sandwich and would be willing to pay extra, but the staff declined. I think this should be something to consider so people can customize their sandwiches. Since this spot is located at the Farmer's Market, there's also lots of tables and seating around, but the area can get pretty packed. Overall, decent. Not the best I've ever had, but still good. read more

All'Antico Vinaio - La Schiacciata Del Boss - Sandwiches Near Me - Los Angeles, California

In LA for just one night for a rave, we found ourselves exploring the Grove for the evening. The food options in the market were plentiful, but not wanting anything too heavy for the night we went for these delicious looking Italian sandwiches. They were fresh, filling, and reasonably priced for the portion. High quality meats and cheeses, with an abundance of the toppings. Incredible flavors, the pistachio spread was top notch. Would definitely come back again to try another one of the many sandwiches they offer. Nothing but positive things to say about the food itself. The only thing to comment on is the process of securing one of these sandwiches. I loitered under the "order here" sign for a couple minutes while the employees worked on sandwiches. No one greeted me, asked what I wanted, or any acknowledgment. It's not a big place, it's literally a six foot long counter stall. Eventually after I made extensive eye contact with one of the employees and said "can I order?" did I finally get the process rolling. Then about five minutes later I was handed my sandwiches and on my way. Only I hadn't paid yet... So I initiated, telling the cashier I still needed to pay. I wasn't alone in the confusion/weird process here. The guy before me also grabbed his sandwiches and told the guy "I still need to pay". The people who ordered after me also awkwardly stood around figuring out how to start a sandwich. read more

Five stars! This place is definitely hard to find, but don't let that stop you. It's absolutely worth the search. The bread alone is worth coming for. Fresh, delicious, and honestly one of the highlights of the meal. I ordered the New York, and it was excellent. Great flavor, perfectly made, and exactly what I was hoping for. The food, experience, and quality made the extra effort of finding the restaurant completely worth it. I would 100% come back again and highly recommend it to anyone considering giving it a try. read more

All'Antico Vinaio - Hard to find but worth the search, such a good sandwhich - Sandwiches Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Service is quick and the food is really fresh. I got the LA Summer and LA Paradiso sandwiches, and both were so good, the flavors come together perfectly. The schiacciata was fresh, warm, and perfectly crispy, which made the sandwiches even better. It's located in the farmers market, so it can get pretty busy and a bit loud with people walking around, but there tables nearby to sit and enjoy your food. The setting gives off a lively, bustling vibe that fits well with the market atmosphere. The staff is friendly, and the overall experience was quick and easy. read more

I love a good sandwich, so when I walked up to this shop and saw signs claiming they were voted "best sandwiches in the world," my expectations were high. That's a bold claim. I ordered the LA Numero 1 -- porchetta and gorgonzola on schiacciata (a focaccia like bread) -- two ingredients I genuinely love. The guy at the counter was friendly, and the sandwich was ready within a few minutes. So far, so good. Then I unwrapped it. Right away, it was obvious the sandwich looked nothing like the photos on their website or the ones plastered around the shop. The porchetta was sparse -- barely covering the bread and nowhere near hanging off the sides like advertised. It was disappointing, especially given the hype and price. The schiacciata itself was excellent, and the gorgonzola spread was flavorful, but the meat-to-bread ratio was completely off. I kept thinking that Subway puts more meat on their sandwiches and charges a fraction of the price -- not a comparison you want when you're positioning yourself as "the best in the world." Bottom line: good bread, good flavor, but seriously skimpy on the main ingredient. With this much hype and these prices, it needs to deliver a lot more than it did. read more

What an amazing sandwich!! I tried a similar sandwich from the other italian sandwich shop at the grove and this one is WAY better. I tried the Paradiso and I understand why it's the most popular option. Packed with flavor from simple ingredients. It's savory with a hint of sweetness. The bread is absolutely amazing. If you're paying $20 for a sandwich, it has to be superb. read more

All'Antico Vinaio - La Paradiso - Sandwiches Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I've been looking forward to trying All'Antico Vinaio for years. It's great that there are multiple locations around LA now! My family & I recently went to the farmers' market location next to the Grove. At around 12:15pm on Sunday, it was busy, but the queue moved quickly. You order at the counter and the staff prep the food in front of you, giving the casual vibes and deli experience. Luckily, we found a table nearby while waiting for our order. If we couldn't find a table, then we would've taken our food to the plaza outside of the market, where there are some benches. We ordered La Favolosa ($19) and L'Italiana ($19). La Favolosa was salty, savory, and slightly spicy; and the pecorino cream really stood out to me. L'Italiana was my fave; it was creamy, nutty, and little oily from the sun-dried tomato, but all of the components meshed so well together. Both sandwiches had great bread and quality ingredients. One half of a sandwich was a filling lunch for me. We toasted the other halves of our sandwiches in the evening, which tasted just as good. We'll definitely come again - or visit another All'Antico Vinaio location - when we get a chance! read more

The sandwiches here are absolutely delicious! I really enjoy their bread as well as all of their spreads and fresh vegetables. The meats being sliced to order is key, everything was so fresh and perfectly put together. The sandwiches are huge, easy to share or save half for later. Great option if you are looking for a quick and fresh lunch in the area! read more

I came here today around 1:15pm when there was no line to order and figured it wouldn't take too long to get my food since it didn't appear too busy at the time. Boy was I wrong! I ordered the Venice Beach and it took 25-30 minutes for them to make my sandwich. There appeared to be only one lady making the sandwiches. I felt bad for her as clearly she was trying to keep up and even when she made several sandwiches at the same time it still wasn't fast enough. There was a rush of orders after mine. The lady next to me was also frustrated it was taking so long as she also had somewhere to be as I did (I had to pick up my daughter from school and did not anticipate such a long wait). The sandwich was very good and a nice sized portion (can definitely be shared between two people) , but I would not go there again without placing my order beforehand. This location is new but the amount of time it took to get a sandwich is unacceptable and my advice is if they don't hire more help it's going to sink their business. Very few people in LA are patient enough to wait that long for food and specially at the Farmer's Market where there are many great choices for food. read more

Absolutely delicious sandwiches. I've been here a couple times and I'm slowly working my way through the menu; everything I've had has been excellent. Yes, the sandwiches are pricey, but they're also huge, which helps make up for the cost. There's a little bit of seating inside the shop, although I always take mine to go. And there's free parking in the garage across the street. Well worth checking out! read more

We've had the original in Italy and enjoyed it. One thing a little different there was that they were so busy all the bread was steamy fresh from the oven. Here not so much. The bread is fresh but I'm guessing made hours earlier. I ordered a La Dante. It was decent. The bread was nice and crunchy on the outside and soft inside. The truffle cream was decent too. read more

All'Antico Vinaio - the venice beach - Sandwiches Near Me - Los Angeles, California

My friend has been raving about All'Antico for the best Italian sandwiches and I was at the Grove, so decided to pick up a sandwich to-go. There are so many sandwich options to choose from but I ended up getting their best seller: La Paradiso (mortadella, stracciatella, pistachio cream, pistachios). It is a hefty sandwich and you can share between two hungry people and be equally satisfied. The fixings inside were delicious but my only qualm was with the bread. It was tough and lacked flavor. I think bread quality is super important in a great sandwich and this focaccia was not it. If you tried Mamie in WeHo, they have an incredible focaccia and I was expecting this bread to be comparable to. Service was quick though and it does the job if you want an Italian sandwich. read more

Wow I love how soft, fluffy, and fresh the focaccia was and the combination of truffle cream with pecorino and prosciutto was really unmatched. The bread is a little bit greasy but it also has a slight crisp. One of my favorite sandwiches. Everything tasted really high quality and a single sandwich is HUGE and enough to fill up two people when splitting. If you come during lunch time, it might get busy but the line moves pretty fast and there is ample seating in the market. read more

Way better than my experience with All'Antico in LV. The meat here is sliced thinly making it easier to bite. But still packed full of protein. And they are generous with the spread of truffle. The bread was nice and hot as well. I'm glad I gave this shop another chance. The La Dante is my favorite, there's so much flavor in the truffle spread! The La summer is just a Caprese w prosciutto, I'd skip it. read more

I just happen to be at Farmers Market/The Grove and my stomach was starvin. My tummy radar turned the direction towards All' Antio Vinaio. I drive by the 6th St location regularly but parking in KTown is a pain. With a short line, All' Antico Vinaio was a must try after hearing the hype for some time. If you see the sign, Order Here, move over a bit to the right and talk to that guy. Appears the sign is in the wrong place and the meat slicer technologist apparently doesn't take orders. I had to be corrected. There's about 20+ sandwiches to choose from. Not sure what was the most popular. So, I figured the $19 sandwich options and the one on top of the list was the most popular which is La Favolosa. Within a few minutes of ordering, out came this perfectly wrapped sandwich. The Favolosa consist of salame toscana, pecorino cream, artichoke cream, and spicy eggplant. I thought this sandwich was good but a bit on the salty side. It needed something like balsamic and arugula to balance out the flavors a bit more. The best thing about this sandwich I though is the Tuscan flatbread and the spreads. The bread is crispy, golden, airy but chewy interior. A slight toast would be made this even better. I'd like to come back and try other sandwiches to compare to. Nice addition to Farmers Market and worth trying. read more

Sooo good. The most delicious sandwiches are served here. I ordered a mortadella sandwich and added some arugula and let me tell you ... it was wonderful.

Lots of eateries next to each other so it creates a good vibe.. read more

A bit of a hectic experience here versus the other location I've been to. The order here sign is confusingly not where you order from, we stood there for a while before going told to move towards the pay here sign. The man taking the order was not very personable and that made it a little off putting for the group. The food itself was delicious and well worth the price and wait but I would skip this particular location and go to one of the other LA locations over this based on service read more

We tried the paradiso, favolosa, LA Farmers Market and Italian hot. Fortunately when we went there was no line and the sandwiches came out quickly. The flavors were definitely unique, I liked how they used Kaylin and Kaylin pickles in the farmers market sandwich. The paradiso (pistachio, pistachio cream and mortadella) seems to be the crowd favorite, but I wasn't too impressed. Worth trying at least once! read more

Having stopped by All'Antico Vinaio in Florence many years ago, I didn't think I would enjoy my sandwich just as much this time in the US, but I really did! The bread is absolutely perfect. It's fluffy but there's a bit of crunch to it, and the ratio of all the toppings works really well. Flavorful, large, filling, and shareable, the spicy turkey was a great option when shopping around these parts and in need of some fuel! read more

My rating is about this location in at the LA Farmers Market, not about All'Antico Vinaio in general (which I'd otherwise give 5-stars to). I am a massive fan of the Venice Beach location. This location (at the Farmers Market near the Grove), however, skimps out on the ingredients, doesn't balance them right, and doesn't seem to care about any of it. It's like taking 5-star, best-ingredients you've ever had, and asking McDonald's employees to put it together. My sandwiches had about half the meat as the Venice location, and the ratio of everything in the sandwich was way, way off. I can't tell if the owner has franchised out and the Farmers Market location's owner is trying to cheap out, or if the employees are just poorly trained or don't care. Love the brand, been to multiple locations, but this one was so disappointing. Not to mention, even though other locations are 20 minutes away from this one, it takes almost the same time to drive those 20 minutes and back, since this Farmers Market location is at the super-packed and you'll spend an hour just trying to find parking. read more

The legendary sandwich shop from Florence is finally here! All'Antico Vinaio is a sandwich shop from Florence Italy that went viral in the last few years and has since expanded internationally, including LA, Vegas, and NY. This is their latest LA location in Fairfax. This location is small with limited seating so it can get pretty hectic. That being said, the staff seems pretty efficient and gets things moving quickly. Whether you want to get a sandwich with crushed pistachio cream or truffle honey, they have something for everyone! Their Italian cold cuts in each one are delicious. The sandwiches are amazing and the bread is nice and flaky but a few things are just not the same. First, the bread just doesn't seem to have the same consistency and freshness as Florence. Second, they aren't nearly as generous with the amount of meat and ingredients you get inside. Third, and related to the first two, is that despite getting a lesser experience you are paying a premium price! The combination of these, coupled with the fact of how good the original is, means I can't really give them more than 4 stars. Overall, if you are craving an Italian sandwich and just want a quick bite, you won't be disappointed. But if you are coming to relive your experience from Florence, you'll find something missing. read more

I have been multiple times to AV om Abbott Kinney and the quality is consistently good. This is the second time I had a sandwich at the one at the Farmers Market and the bread tasted stale. I returned it and asked my money back. The only comment the manager had was 'this all comes from Abbott Kinney..', If a manager hears a complaint from a customer it would make sense to say 'can you explain why you think it's not as good.? My money has been refunded but the whole experience left me with an unpleasant aftertaste. There are plenty of good places where I can get a delicious $18 sandwich. You lost a customer. read more

New location had efficient service and was delicious. I got the LA Summer which was prosciutto, mozzarella, tomato, and basil on focaccia. It was simple and the ingredients really shined. My husband got a sandwich with porchetta, Gorgonzola, and pistachio cream - the meat was good and the cheese was the most prominent flavor.

Love long holiday weekends, because they offer the best chance to try new yummy food. The Farmer's Market has been a place my husband has visited since he was a young kid and has made it part of our family's go to. I've never had All'Antico Vinaio, but I have heard of them. So I was all in to give it a try today. First I will tell you, there will be a line and time of day can determine how long that line will be. Also be prepared for the possibility of having to eat standing up. This is a great time to remind you that there is seating upstairs. Being as this location is at the farmers market. It tends to be very crowded but for the most part, it's a very cool place to be. So glad u finally tried it! I had the La Summer, and just as the name would suggest it is a very light delicious sandwich. The prosciutto is spectacular, that alone is worth the price of the sandwich. My husband had The Italian hot. And OMG!!! That was absolutely fantastic. The Calabrian chili hot is heavenly. I could've had that with bread alone and been the happiest person on the planet. So yes the hype is true. They have the best sandwiches! read more
