Glad flavors have no borders! Our Cubano Panini is available exclusively for the month of June at Spaghetti Eddie’s in Glendora!
The cubano sandwich may have originated in Cuba, but it has found an unexpected yet delightful home in Italian cuisine as well. While at first glance, the hearty combination of roasted pork, ham, Swiss cheese, pickles and mustard on crusty Cuban bread might seem an odd fit for the land of pasta and prosciutto, Italian chefs and foodies have embraced this Caribbean import and given it their own unique twist.
Some Italian deli’s layer the traditional cubano fillings on a crisp ciabatta roll or even a fluffy focaccia. Others get creative with the ingredients, swapping out the roasted pork for pancetta or speck, or adding a smear of garlicky aioli in place of regular mustard. You might even find cubanos featuring Italian cheeses like provolone or mozzarella. Whether enjoyed as a quick lunch at a corner deli or a late-night snack at a trendy cafe, the cubano has carved out a cozy niche in the deliciously diverse world of Italian sandwich culture. It just goes to show that great flavors have no borders!
Our delicious panini has all the good stuff you won’t want to miss out on!
