I think out of all the places I've traveled to so far, my favorite would have to be Italy. During a…read morelazy afternoon after visiting the Pantheon in Rome, we had our first experience with All'Antico after taking a 5 minute walk down the road. They actually had 2 separate locations flanking the pedestrian road, so there were two long lines snaking out in opposite directions. While we were waiting in line, we bumped into a couple from Spain who were also visiting. They gave my wife some personal recommendations, advising we get the blood orange soda with our sandwiches. After getting said sandwiches (the La Paradiso), we nibbled on them while walking to Sant'Ignazio of Loyola Church, which is that cathedral where there's a mirror directed up towards the murals on the ceiling and a huge selfie line. Hot damn were those sandwiches good. The thinly sliced mortadella paired perfectly with that buttery, green pistachio spread. The only challenge for my taste buds was the mild oral trauma I sustained from punching through the crispy bread; your gums started to feel it by the time you devoured your sandwich. But we liked it so much that when we later took the train to Florence, we sought All'Antico again at their original location. I thought that would be my last experience with All'Antico (unless, of course, I came back to Italy). So imagine my surprise when later that year I heard All'Antico had coincidentally opened a branch in Los Angeles, although rather awkwardly situated in Koreantown. Even though we live 30 minutes away, we made the drive immediately. There was no way this remote All'Antico location, thousands of miles from Italy, would live up to the experience I had in Rome earlier that year. But I was mistaken. Not only is the taste spot on, but the bread they serve is actually chewier and removed the gum calisthenics I suffered in Italy. And yes, they also have the blood orange soda as well. It's a little weird their location is in Koreatown, but not a big deal; we'll usually do a bingsu run afterward. Just like their locations in Italy, All'Antico is small but they do have a small collection of bar seats, some of which overlook the staff as they're making your sandwich. Be mentally prepared though to take it to go depending on how busy it is. Parking sucks too; there's street parking only, but if you come on Sunday you don't have to pay. Every so often now, we'll make the 30 minute drive just to relive that slice of Italy we experienced nearly 2 years ago. Thankfully, not a lot of people recognize how good this place is yet, as the lines aren't crazy long like they are in Italy. For all the other Yelpers in on it too, let's keep it our little secret for now.

Sandwiches here are not as good as the ones in Italy, but pretty great for what I'd expect here. Got the l'italiana and the la schiacciata del boss. Both were good in their own way but I'd say the truffle cream in the del boss sandwich is an excellent umami boost. Sandwich portions here are pretty big and half a sandwich is enough to fill me up!

Good sandwich, but nowhere near the mythology. The ingredients taste good and the staff were…read morefriendly, so this isn't a bad place by any stretch. But the whole thing is more hype than revelation. The bread does a lot of the talking here, maybe too much. The filling felt light for the size of the sandwich, which makes the whole thing eat a little more like a very good loaf with some ingredients passing through. You also really need to eat it there. Give it too much time and the structure starts to collapse into soggy bread and regret. Not bad. Not amazing. Just a solid sandwich that got treated like a religious experience by the internet.

There's plenty of paid street parking nearby -- $1 for 40 minutes. The restaurant itself is tiny with a simple, focused menu. I ordered the spiced chicken laffa, and it was an absolute flavor bomb. Think of it as a Mediterranean-style burrito: massive, stuffed with juicy chicken, pickled onions, crisp cucumbers, and sweet tomatoes. It's generously sauced, so definitely grab extra napkins. Service was prompt and friendly, which made the whole stop even better.

It was getting late, so while I waited for the kid in the car at their activity, I went on The Heights website found an order form and placed an order for some sammies all in 5 minutes. I didn't even ask the hubs or the vegetarian kid what they wanted. I went with what I thought they'd like. 15-minutes later, I was picking the sandwiches up at the walk-in only shop. There was no line and better yet, they were wrapped up and ready to go when I walked in. The smiling lady asked if I wanted napkins or utensils. They have case after case of cold drinks so we picked out a couple of drinks, paid for those and left. It was easy and fast. Enjoyed the yumminess at home. I normally would save a half for another meal but my "Pasadena" hit the spot that I finished it up all at once. Quality bread, meats, cheese, fillings aka all the ingredients...to boot! PS the kid loved theirs and so did the hub. Thanks for making dinner: easy and delicious! There are no pictures because it was too delicious to take the time out and take any. Just order.

Prices for small 6" were $14 or large 11" $18. Of course it made sense to get the large! Bread is pretty decent. House made sourdough-like roll that is chewy, a little crunchy and not difficult to eat. Toothsome in just the right way. Fillings were fairly abundant, fresh. Flavors of the Godfather were a little bland compared to the Godmother of BC in SM. Not entirely sure what the difference is - salt & pepper? Italian seasoning or dressing? Will have to do some more investigating back at BC's (yeah!) Nice place. Some tables inside but all were full on this winter day. Tables outside as well. Some parking with more in neighborhood. Definitely recommend and would go back if I'm in the area.
