My favorite Italian sub!!!. Never had Mortedlla. It taste different than it looks. Very good!!. Most people in my area have never heard of it. A must for this sub. Always enjoy pepperoncini on ham sandwiches.

These were great and tasted like a genuine Italian sub! The only things we did differently were to mix the oil, vinegar and oregano together and then brush on where instructed. Red onion works great and we chopped the pepperoncini to spread it more evenly on the sandwich.

This tasted like somthing you get at a sandwich shop! We loved them and the only thing I changed was I used a brush to brush the oil and vinegar on.
