1 Embarcadero Ctr
The Order: #11 The Gambino (East Coast Style)
The Review:
Back to the FiDi close to work. It appears summer has finally hit the City, so the walks to get lunch have become even more enjoyable. I decided to head over to the Embarcaderos to my next spot, Gambinos. I was in a great mood, the sun was shining on my city as I strolled over the unmistakable sidewalks in front of the Embaracdero Center.
I walked in and took a look at the large menu up on the board. I decided on the place's namesake the Gambino #11. I enjoy a place where I can order by number, it means they have a wide selection. The Gambino is ham, salami, hot coppa, mortadella and provolone.
They then ask you East Coast, or West Coast style. East Coast means shredded lettuce, onions, olive oil, vinegar, salt & pepper and herbs.West Coast: Shredded lettuce, sliced tomatoes, mayo, mustard, pickles, and onion.
I went with the East Coast, grabbed chips and a drink and headed back to enjoy. However, enjoy I did not. The roll was soft but dry, like chewing on a gym sock. They must realize this though, because they absolutely drench the sandwich in oil. There weren't enough napkins in the place to sop up the oil dripping off this sandwich. It was not cut all the way through which is a pet peeve of mine and by the time I got to the meat, I realized they only had one thin slice of each meat listed. It was truly disappointing. An oily, messy, poor quality roll, with a hint of meat.
I think NY would be insulted with this sandwich, as was I.
How much did it cost?
ReplyDeleteHey Jenny G, Thanks for checking it out. The sandwich itself was $6.95. As I said in an earlier post, I am trying to only mention price if it is a great deal or totaly overpriced! Looking back this is $7 I wish I had back! Thanks for reading and please share with your friends! I got your reccomendation and will try and get back out there soon!
