All’antico Vinaio, a rapidly growing chain of sandwich shops that originated in Italy in 1991, is preparing to open a new location at 316 Santa Monica Blvd, formally the site of Trejo's Tacos. This marks the third Los Angeles location for the Florence-based firm, following outlets in Koreatown and Venice and co-owner Tanya Bastianich Manuali confirmed to the Daily Press that she hopes to have the delicatessen-style sandwich store open by the second quarter of 2025.

“When it’s literally translated, All’antico Vinaio means ‘the ancient wine merchant ‘and it actually started in the Tuscany region of Italy. Our partner, Tommaso Mazzanti’s family has been running it for decades,” Manuali said.
