Chris Bianco’s ROW DTLA sandwich shop turns house-baked bread into the main event, with Italian-leaning fillings and careful balance. The mortadella and ham-and-cheese style builds are the reliable picks, and the kitchen’s pizza pedigree shows in the dough. A polished counter-service stop that still feels casual.
Must-Try Dishes:
Mortadella sandwich, Ham & cheese with roasted garlic aioli, Italian tuna-style sandwich (seasonal)
