Noe Antico, for lack of a better phrase, is the carryout counter of Osteria Antico. They’re connected through the kitchen. A true sign of any place formidable in its specialty, only one thing is served: Paninis. There are 21 kinds, with the price for each ranging from 3 Euro to 4.50. ($4.50 to $6.75.)
I got a numero quattordici, which is salame piccante, melanzane, e pecorino. (Spicy salami, eggplant, and pecorino cheese.) It was great. It’s so funny how here, the meats are so strong in flavor that they only put a light amount while stateside sandwich-makers like to load as much meat as possible into a sandwich.
I’m not saying either is better, just different. They were heavy on the cheese though, which is fine with me. The eggplant didn’t stand out at all, but it was nice to just know it was in there. It’s near my house. I’m going back and plan to eventually try all 21.
