There are so many sandwiches listed on the menu boards all over Sorriso Italian Salumeria that it would take several blissful, if high cholesterol-shortened lifetimes to try them all. But we’d be willing to give it a shot. 

At this cash-only deli—an Astoria institution since 1976—you can count on the structural integrity of the sandwiches, with every component coming through in each balanced bite. Plenty are named for Italian-American celebrities, like the DiMaggio, the Sinatra, and the De Niro, but other sources of inspiration are closer to home. There's the NYC Department of Sanitation, which has grilled chicken, breaded eggplant, and roasted artichokes, or the Q18 bus, with toasted ravioli (yes, on a sandwich).
