A Transcendent Sandwich At Tost

Last night, I enjoyed an incredibly tasty sandwich at Tost Panini and Wine Bar. Normally, when I order panini, I opt for a version which includes melted cheese. (There are many such selections at Tost, including speck-Taleggio-pesto, mozzarella-tomato-basil, and chicken-Fontina-basil.) But for some reason, the sardine sandwich called to me - and what an amazing sandwich it turned out to be! Two sturdy, spicy mayo-moistened slices of grilled bread bookended a filling of slightly briny chopped sardines, capers, and tart roasted tomatoes. The bread was crisp and golden-brown, not overtoasted.

Besides panini, Tost offers bruschetta, salads, cured meats, cheeses, and sweets (lavender panna cotta, anyone?).

Tost Panini and Wine Bar: 427 7th Ave., Park Slope, (718) 965-1075.
