ONE MORE FOR THE ARCHIVE
Sorrento
from Luigi Panini
prosciutto crudo San Daniele, mozzarella, tomato and grilled eggplant on ciabatta
Finally made it to the Sorrento 😂 After planning to get this twice and getting distracted by the specials both times, today was finally the day.
And yep, very good as expected. The bread is still amazing. Nice and crunchy from the toast, served warm, but not pressed down so much that it loses its shape and texture. Luigi really knows how to do bread.
The prosciutto was probably my favourite part of the filling. Just salty in the best way, with that proper cured-meat flavour that keeps coming through in every bite. The mozzarella was cut pretty thick, but because it was so mild and creamy it never felt heavy. It was more there as this soft, milky texture in the background, letting the prosciutto do most of the talking.
The tomato kept things fresh, and I really liked the grilled eggplant too. Slightly sweet, a little herby and soft, and it just worked with everything else.
There’s no sauce in this one and honestly, it doesn’t need any. Just really good meat, good cheese, fresh veg and great bread, all balanced properly and executed perfectly.
Super clean, super satisfying, and somehow Luigi just never disappoints me.
