It’s hard to keep up with all the tasty stuff set to land at the UnCommons development this year, but here’s another notable entry in your 2023 itinerary for deliciousness: The famous Florence, Italy, sandwich shop All’Antico Vinaio is expected to open near the Urth Caffe by June.
Founded by the Mazzanti family in 1991, All’Antico Vinaio was dubbed “home of the world’s best sandwiches” by Saveur long after it developed a reputation for long lines of hungry visitors craving incredible combinations of fresh ingredients stuffed into unique schiacciata bread—like a thinner focaccia with a crispy outer edge. Las Vegas’ own sandwich champion, Ismaele Romano, proprietor of Ellis Island Casino’s Via Focaccia, cited the familiar spot as one of his inspirations to create his own focaccia recipe and build beautiful sandwiches here.
After successful New York City pop-ups, All’Antico Vinaio scion Tommaso “Tommy” Mazzanti teamed with Joe Bastianich to open two locations in Manhattan during the past two years, paving the way for a West Coast expansion—and ours is the chosen land. “Only in our dreams could we have thought that we would open a location in Las Vegas,” Mazzanti said in a statement. “We’re excited and so proud to start this new adventure at UnCommons, and look forward to serving the community when we open this year.”
