"The first thing you notice when you bite into an All'Antico Vinaio sandwich is the crunch as the crispy exterior of the Tuscan bread, the schiacciata, gives way to the soft interior. Next: the simple perfection of Italian ingredients-meats, cheeses, sauces like an earthy truffle cream. It's no wonder a line of 100-plus eager customers stretched half a block down Boylston Street when the first Boston location of the Florence, Italy-based chain opened this past Friday, October 3 in Copley Square."
"This is the 49th location for the 34-year-old company, and probably not the only one that'll open here, says owner Tommaso "Tommy" Mazzanti. He describes Boston as "a wonderful city [with] wonderful people" that was also a "very strategic" expansion target due to the large numbers of students and office workers-but more importantly, the large number of Bostonians already familiar with the All'Antico Vinaio brand from their travels to New York (which has eight locations), Italy, and beyond."
All'Antico Vinaio opened its first Boston location in Copley Square on October 3, drawing a line of more than 100 customers and offering free sandwiches to early patrons. The sandwiches feature crunchy Tuscan schiacciata with a soft interior and simple Italian ingredients such as meats, cheeses, and truffle cream. The Boston outpost is the chain's 49th location and targets students, office workers, and residents familiar with the brand from travels to New York and Italy. Plans include two or three additional local outposts, possibly near universities, with another opening potentially next year. A Boston-themed signature sandwich will debut.
