“Pisillo is one of those places you’d never notice by simply walking by, but gets its wide praise and following through word of mouth. It’s rather perfect for a quick lunch pick-up, although they do have several tables if you wish to sit in. Be warned that Pisillo is known for its huge portions, so it is probably best (and more fun) to share. We also found out that it is owned by an Italian family from a town near Napoli, can you get anymore genuine than that?”

“Picking Favorites at Pisillo Italian Panini”
September 2, 2016
The best sandwich at this FiDi hole-in-the-wall is the No. 26, the Pisillo, a madcap omnibus of flavors that includes prosciutto di parma, porchetta, mozzarella di bufala, and roasted red peppers. Then again, there’s the No. 16, the Perugia, in which tart balsamic dressing plays off the saltiness of coppa pork cuts. The Trento, No. 9, is true bliss, however, dripping with truffle oil and stacked with speck, smoked mozzarella, and arugula. Pisillo is filled with customers who will swear by their order to the detriment of all others. That said, nearly every one of the giant sandwiches approaches, and even attains, perfection.
