8.9/10Italian
AI-generated summary
Close to 200 sandwiches, all named after Italian Americans. The Marisa Tomei with fried eggplant and house made mozzarella is the one people name most, and the eggplant parm and heroes get the same treatment. They're big enough for two meals. It's deep Brooklyn, but people say the trek is worth it.
“The Marisa Tomei at Lioni Italian Heroes. Fried eggplant, made in house mozzarella (Lioni started as a latticini), bread crumbs and "mushroom stuffing" (not mushrooms but the stuff you stuff mushrooms with) on a slightly sweet, super buttery Italian bread. Absolute heaven.”
