Dioli's Italian Market, the Deli
After overcoming great opposition on Friday (in the all-too-familiar form of a Bio test) I decided it was acceptable to celebrate with a sandwich from one of my local favorite restaurants, Dioli's. It's a great little Italian Deli, that has delicious authentic sandwiches, (or what I'd assume was pretty darn authentic, I've never been to Italy, so I wouldn't know), and some of the most tempting desserts I've ever seen.
I decided on the Classic Italian Hero- "Molinari Dry Salame, Mortadella, and Prosciutto Cotto w/ Provolone, Red Onion, Arugula and Mayo on a Ciabatta Roll." with a Zeppoli on the side. (I'd never had a Zeppoli, but it was a $0.50 Italian doughnut, so I figured, why not?!) The sandwich was delicious, just like the last time I'd had it. This time, I decided to get oil and vinegar instead of the Mayo, and loved the switch! I could honestly argue that the bread is the best part. Next time, I'll have to try one of their other desserts. I've had the Tiramisu before and I'd definitely recommend it! The Zeppoli was really not that impressive, but I wonder if it was because it wasn't served right after it came out of the fryer. It didn't quite have that crispy texture that it looked like it should have had. Despite that, overall, it was most definitely a successful celebration lunch!
