Piemonte Special

Haha, your boy is back at Luigi again!

I was actually sooo looking forward to finally trying the Sorrento. My friend has been raving about it. I’m not the biggest eggplant fan, but I’m always open to recommendations.

Unfortunately for Sorrento, Luigi dropped a new weekend special with sautéed porcini mushrooms and truffle paste... and there was absolutely no way I was letting that slide 😂 Guess Sorrento will have to wait a little longer.

Another great eat.

One thing I love about Luigi is that every sandwich has a clear flavour direction. This time it was all about the truffle and porcini mushrooms. The truffle paste was earthy and packed with flavour, while the sautéed porcini were super rich, creamy and almost a little soupy. Together they completely carried the sandwich.

The prosciutto cotto and Emmental played more of a supporting role. The cheese was a lot milder than I expected and wasn’t quite as melty as the reel I saw, but it all came together really nicely.

And the bread... man, I swear it somehow gets better every time I come here 😂 Extra crunchy on the outside, light inside, and just so satisfying to bite into.

Man... I just love good bread 😂
