The Brie Cheese Sandwich | Photo by Zach Behrens/LAist
Talk about a great lunch. A few recent trips to il Tramezzino in Studio City proved this place to one of the city's king of sandwiches. A favorite so far is the Brie Cheese with sun dried tomato, grilled eggplant and basil garlic sauce ($10.95). Keeping to a vegetarian theme, Veg. Special #1 has goat cheese, arugula, grilled eggplant, roasted peppers, marinated eggplant and roma tomato ($10.95) and is equally as tasty.
For the carnivore inclined, the Firenze comes with smoked turkey breast, avocado, arugula, roma tomato, bufula mozzarella and a special chili mayo sauce served on grilled ciabatta breast ($10.95). The Bresaola Classico includes cured beef, bufula mozzarella, roma tomato, arugula, lemon and oil ($11.95).
We're salivating. Luckily, they have locations in Beverly Hills and Tarzana, too.




You took my suggestion! Veg. Special #1 ftw.
Yups! And thank you for it! So good!
vegan? anything vegan? :/
There is one with vegan ingredients, I'll have to check in on the bread. Will let you know...
yay! you are the best!
I love the food porn here on LAist, I swear. Certainly these sammiches look scrumptious.
However, I have made this same point before:
$11 for a sandwich with NO MEAT is insane.
Not dogging on the veggies or vegans, just simply agog at an $11 vegatable sandwich.
Yeah, $11 is a bit pricey and definitely no recession obsession, which is posted every Thursday. Here are three about affordable sandwiches ;)

I was thinking the same thing at the time - "this sure isn't a "recession obsession".
These sammiches, like a few other things in LA, are:
"Recession Disconnection"
Well, the two mentioned use brie and goat cheese, which are quality, pricey ingredients. Which seems like it's more worthy of $11 than cheap, government-subsidized grade B meat. ;-) Sure, some meat is pricey (good steak, shell fish, foie gras), but there are plenty of rare and expensive non-meat items: black truffles, saffron, some cheeses.
