Ma per favoure

Found myself near Wynyard for an office day, so I dropped by La Panineria — a great new lunch option if you’re in the area.

I picked the Ma per favoure from the window display, which meant it came out super quick (perfect for a busy lunch break). They also do made-to-order panini with more elaborate fillings, but I figured I’d keep it lighter today — if I go too heavy, I’ll be dozing off by 2pm 😅.

The schiacciata was toasted beautifully — crisp on the outside, still airy and chewy inside. The sandwich was jam-packed with tender poached chicken, a generous spread of house-made avocado and sauce (aioli ?), and just the right amount too — not drenched to the point of dripping, which I appreciate. The lettuce added a nice crunch, and the tomato gave a refreshing pop that balanced the richness.

I know Italians don’t mess around with portions, but even this “lighter” pick left me seriously full 😂. Overall, a really solid sandwich — tasty, well-balanced, and satisfying. Definitely planning to come back and try more next time I’m in the office.
