Lamazou: Superb Sandwiches in Murray Hill

May 13, 2008

Looking for a serious Italian hero in Murray Hill? Look no further than Lamazou where authentic Italian meats combine with an expansive and reputable cheese menu to create some amazing sandwiches. The basic sandwich menu is quality, but it’s customizations that will elevate your sandwich to excellence. Read on and find out how to create the delicious sandwich below.

Here’s a link to the sandwiches menu, but trust me when I tell you to go with the #4 Italico (Mortadella, Salami, provolone) and add some lettuce, tomato, roasted red peppers, oil, and balsamic vinegar all on ciabatta. This bread is perfect for this sandwich because its crisp outer crust is strong enough to support all the juicy fillings while the airy, porous insides prevent the oil and vinegar from creating a soggy mess. The standard sandwich is $7.75 and it climbs to a little over $9 once you add the remaining ingredients. It’s well worth it though. Everything is high quality and handled with care. Take a look at the delicious Italian salami below.

All the flavors meld together perfectly. The vinegar balances the sweetness of the roasted red peppers while the spicy salami and mild, porky mortadella combine with the creamy, slightly sharp provolone to create the perfect flavor NYC Food Guy looks for in an Italian hero.

One of my friends stands behind the Chorizo & Manchego cheese on Ciabatta sandwich but the Italico with the added ingredients is so tasty I haven’t strayed from it yet.
