Italian Wagyu Meatball Sub
with a rich tomato sauce, bocconcini balls & a zesty salad
The sandwich of dreams! There’s something so comforting about this sub, almost as if a homestyle Italian meal has been served on a buttery toasted bun instead of a plate! It has a rich tomato sauce, melty bocconcini balls and is topped with fresh basil leaves.
