All’Antico Vinalo Sandwich Shops with Tanya Bastianich Part 1

“Welcome to All’Antico Vinaio, the legendary Florentine sandwich shop. Since 1991, the Mazzanti family has been passionately running the three Florence locations of All’Antico Vinaio and has been drawing crowds of both Italians and tourists alike attracted by the exceptional ingredients and freshly baked Tuscan schiacciata bread. Considered one of the best street food experiences in the world, and noted by Saveur magazine as “home of the world’s best sandwiches”, All’Antico Vinaio welcomes guests to experience those very same ingredients and freshly baked bread at the American outposts.” Beverly Hills joins existing locations in New York, Las Vegas and Nashville. Boston and Miami shops are in the works. Buon Appetito!”“Tommaso (Tommy) Mazzanti was born in 1988 in Bagno a Tipoli (Florence). He attended hotel school until the age of 18, and then entered the family business (All’Antico Vinaio. ) He joined the family company in 2014, and then opened 4 other stores with them between 2017 and 2021. In 2020 his first store outside of Florence opened in Milan. Since December 2020 he has also launched a store in the most important shopping center in Italy, I Gigli. Tommaso has joined forces in the USA with the Bastianich family (Lidia, Joe and Tanya) in New York, Las Vegas and Los Angeles with thunderous response from appreciative guests. He has been characterized as among the best and most social media savvy young restaurateurs in Italy.”Tanya Bastianich joins us with a freshly baked Tuscan schiacciata loaf in hand.
