The one to order

A panino with mortadella di Bologna, sliced thin, maybe with squacquerone cheese

The line to expect: A crowd at the counter at lunch; the busiest hour is late morning.

A family salumeria in the old market streets since 1960; their own mortadella, sliced to order, on a crisp roll.

Mortadella sandwich, three ways (Rome, Bologna, São Paulo)

Mortadella sandwich, three ways (Rome, Bologna, São Paulo)

15 min · 2 sandwiches. One great cold cut, three cities: Rome stuffs it into hot pizza bianca, Bologna lays it thin with soft squacquerone cheese, São Paulo piles 300 grams of it, griddled, with melted provolone. Start with mortadella sliced paper thin from the counter.
