Fiore’s looks like a vintage deli movie set — brick storefront; tin ceiling; fluorescent lighting; a display case filled with olives, roasted red peppers, mushrooms, and other specialties. A photo of Mother Teresa is wedged between sardine tins.
If I had to take one sandwich to the pearly gates, or my desert island, make it Fiore’s legendary roast beef and mozzarella sandwich. Its origins go back to around 1960, when the deli started offering a special sandwich each day — roast beef, sausage, tuna, Virginia ham. The roast beef and mozzarella became Fiore’s signature sandwich. Note: It’s available Thursdays and Saturdays only.
Pretty much every deli on this list boasts a bigger menu than Fiore’s. But the latter has unsurpassable atmosphere and old-school charm. (PG)
