Manganaro Foods

The "grosseria" with the trattoria seating in back, not the unaffiliated cafeteria-style "hero boy" next door. A Manganaro's special hero ($7.50) featured ham, mortadella, cooked and Genoa salami, cappocolla, prosciutto, Swiss, provolone, lettuce, peppers, and vinaigrette on a crusty Italian loaf. Good, but not piled as high and not as juicy as the sandwich at Leo's Latticini; the bread, though fresh, was tough.
