Cousin Vinny's Sandwich Co

There’s usually a line and rarely a seat at this casual sandwich shop in Tampa’s NoHo neighborhood. It’s Italian to the bone (note the flag out front for further proof) and the name is both a nod to the movie of the same name, as well as one of the co-owners, Vincent “Vinny” Andriotti. Together with friends Russell Leone, AJ DeSimone, and Jake Schmidt, they’re bringing New York Italian-American flavor to Tampa. Any sandwich aficionado knows it’s all about the bread and the fillings, and both are top notch here. Tomato and mozzarella on their house-made schiacciata (think focaccia, only thinner and crispier) is a knockout, but the Tony Piccante, a crispy chicken cutlet with vodka sauce, cheese, and roasted red peppers on an Italian sub is another winner.
