(This venue is closed.) Care for a little soccer with your sandwich?
Many Serie A aficionados find their way to Panino Sportivo for a midday fixture, an espresso, and the likes of the Filippo ($8.25), which proffers Italian tuna, plum tomato, arugula, and capers enlivened with lemon juice. For football, I'm partial to the Premiership, and for a fuller-bodied fish sandwich, I prefer Manducatis Rustica, but for the combination, Panino Sportivo sits atop the league table.
