Hidden Gem: Amighetti's Special

As a St. Louis native and daughter of parents, particularly father, who explored every nook and cranny of this city, sneered in the eye of  chain restaurants in favor of the local Mom and Pop goodies, and drove us into the city from the county for almost every childhood meal out...

...this one is a no-brainer.  CLASSIC St. Louis. 

Founded by Louis Amighetti, an Italian immigrant, in 1921... Amighetti's is one of the most notorious landmark sandwich shops in St. Louis.  While there are currently 3 locations, the Nenonens gravitate to the original location in the heart of the Hill at 5141 Wilson.

My recommendation?  Visit Amighetti's for lunch with a friend, and order "The Special" to share...

Leave your diet at home for the day.  Made with ham, roast beef, Genoa salami, brick cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickles, onions, pepperoncini, and the secret recipe Amighetti's dressing on Italian bread baked FRESH every single morning...

... The Special is a true representation of the delight of the Hill and it's long-standing traditions.
