Bologna

Not sure why I haven’t seen more people talking about this place—because it was phenomenal. Diego & Co calls itself “Home of the Authentic Schiacciata”, and while I’ve never been to Italy, if this is anything close... I believe them.

The menu had some pretty elaborate combos, and I had a hard time choosing. But in the end, I went with one of the simpler ones: the Bologna. Mortadella, chopped pistachio, burrata cream—straightforward on paper, but packed with flavour.

It came lightly toasted, with the schiacciata crisping up nicely on the outside while the filling inside stayed cool and creamy. The bread itself was excellent—loved both the texture and flavour. Crunchy on the edges and soft in the middle.

The burrata cream was bang on—super smooth and rich, and the pistachio added just enough crunch and nuttiness to break it up. The mortadella gave it that savoury kick and brought it all together. Balanced, simple, but full of flavour.

Honestly, such a good sandwich. I’ll definitely be back to work my way through more of the menu.
