I use a combination of Genoa salami, capicola, and traditional ham, but you can feel free to use just two of these, if you prefer. If you don't, you can purchase the meats and cheeses at your local market, and make any substitutions needed in order to enjoy that classic Italian sub flavor. If you're lucky enough to have an authentic Italian deli near your home like I do, then that's the ideal place to purchase the main ingredients-the authentic meats and cheeses-used in this Italian sub recipe to whip up your own homemade subs.

I'm a big fan of sandwiches, because I always feel like I can get creative with them using very simple ingredients. If memory serves me, we only left with a little handful of treats that day to nibble on, probably little tasty odds and ends, but I knew I wanted to return to that shop to perhaps try out some of their deli meats and cheeses to create my own Italian sub sandwich like the one they offered on their menu. The inspiration I gain from looking at the tasty and often unique offerings always seems to pique not only my appetite (I should probably never go shopping hungry!) as well as my creativity, and I love that!Ī few years back, my hubby Michael and I discovered a little gem of an Italian deli called “Mario's” not far from our home that has been there for years and is a popular deli, shop and pizza joint.
