Mortadella

Made it back to Berta’s Deli after first visiting a few months back—and with some fun stuff I’ve signed up for around Marrickville over the next couple of months, I’m sure I’ll be back plenty more to work through their menu.

Now onto the sandwich. That Turkish bread was once again the highlight—light and fluffy with a crisp outer shell. The stracciatella added a smooth, creamy richness, and the pistachio pesto brought a nutty depth with a bit of crunch. The mortadella had a nice peppery kick. Pickled onion was in there too, adding a light sweet-sour note, though a tad too subtle for me—would’ve loved a bit more zing.

That said, I was left satisfied. The sandwich might not look massive, but strangely enough, it’s really filling—and coming from me, that’s saying something.

Still think I slightly prefer the hot salami from last time, but this one’s solid. Might try the smoked turkey next... or one of the veg options, like fennel two ways. Super keen.
