Falafel at Cypriana, shrimp salad at Kibby's, ANY sandwich at Cafe Mocha but the curried chicken is incredible!

There's still a Cypriana in the food court at the University of Maryland Hospital.

Yes, I just searched this board for Cafe Mocha to see if anyone has talked about his sandwiches. I had the Chicken Curry Sandwich today & haven't stopped singing its praises for the past five hours. The person who took me (after raving about this place for months & eating there for years) calls the roasted salmon sandwich his favorite. Both are served on buttered crusty rolls with black beans, lettuce & tomato. The stewed chicken, grilled plaintains and beans worked together for a literally stirring experience.

We have also recently had a unique & exciting sandwich at Fiesta Mexicana - the Cecina Torte.

Two to try!

I'll add pannini from Cierelo's in Belvedere Square.

Mastellone's Deli and Wine

I have to tell you this is the absolute best sandwich shop ever!!!!! Their meatball sub is delicious and unique. They hollow out a half a loaf of bread and stuff it with homemade goodness. The Rustico is thin sliced aged filet mignon on a homemade roll with marinated peppers and artichokes....TOP 5 sandwiches of my life! My husband loves their olive spread ...thats the old world Italian sandwich and their pesto is the best in the city!!!! They have great wine at great prices.....great frozen pasta.....I have lived in europe and NY and honestly between MUEllers and Mastellones I really am pleased and feel like I am not missing anything about living in an old world neighborhood.

Where is this place?

[KAZ]

Mastellone's is on Harford Rd inside the city line. I went for a sandwich there once and was told "Would you mind waiting 5 minutes, the bread is coming out of the oven". Now THAT"S a sandwich place!

[flavrmeistr]

Looks like the Shangri-La of Italian delis. I will report back.

Mastellone's is owned by the same folks as DiPasquale's. The food selection (especially fresh) is significantly smaller, but so are the crowds - it doesn't get the Food Network crowd of DiPasquale's. The sandwich menus are very similar, if not identical. The Old World Italian is ridiculously good.

[flavrmeistr]

That's all I'm looking for. Maybe some of those big green olives and wine.

[Bob W]

I will second Mastellone's. That is a classic Italian deli with great sandwiches.

Plus, you'll be right across the street from Fenwick Bakery, one of Baltimore's few remaining old-school German bakeries, known for smearcase (German cheesecake), marshmallow donuts, and (in season) fabulous peach cake.

Taneytown Deli. They have a great sandwich menu. My favorite is "The Jawbreaker." It's corned beef, turkey breast, roast beef, coleslaw and russian dressing on four slices of bread. I also always get a side of their broccoli salad.

There are two locations: Catonsville and Hunt Valley. Even though I live closer to the one in Hunt Valley, I go to the Catonsville location because it gives me an excuse to go to the H-Mart.

Menu is on the web.

Ham, egg and cheese sandwich with LTM at Steve's Lunch in Cross St Market.

Also, the shrimp salad sandwich from Eddie's of Roland Park is stellar. And if you go back to Trinacria, right now, my fave* is the muffaletta (*subject to change without notice).

[flavrmeistr]

The crabcake sub at G&M carryout in Linthicum.

[edresner]

Some of the best sandwiches in Baltimore:

Attman's - Stu's Special (or just stick to corned beef on rye). This the gold standard, you won't find better sandwiches anywhere.
Andy Nelson's - pulled pork or pit beef
Trinacria - Italian sandwich
Eddies of Roland Park - The Parisian
The Real Thing - cheesesteak
Abbey Burger Bistro - burgers of any variety

[discosaturday]

good stuff here!

[lawhound]

Isabella in Little Italy for prochetta also.

Liquid Earth in Fells Point has great vegetarian sandwiches.

Also, the banh mi at Rocket to Venus is tasty, as are the ones at Saigon Remembered, although they could both benefit from a crunchier, fresher roll. But they are damn tasty.

And although you don't quite eat it like a sandwich, the fried fish, coleslaw, hot sauce sandwich at the JFX farmers market is awesome: http://www.urbanitebaltimore.com/balt...

[Dennis S]

Pit beef = Pioneer.

[JonParker]

There is no reason to go to Lenny's when you can go to Attman's. Seriously, they're not even on the same planet.

I am a fan of Rosina Gourmet. I usually stick to the mozzarella sandwich as a veggie, and it always delivers. Great bread.

Three that spring to mind without much difficulty are Attman's, Mary Mervis and Captain Harvey's.

[crackers]

Attman's Deli. How could that not already be on your list?
And the fried fish sandwich at Faidley's. Ditto.
Plus, still warm from the oven roast turkey sandwich with the works at the roast turkey stand in Lexington Market near Faidley's.
