Toast is anything but Plain Jane

Toast is inspired by authentic Italian sandwich shops. It's a little paninoteca in Durham, but with so much more! 

Panini with Goat Cheese, Honey, Pepper Crostini

Walk into the little shop and talk a look at the chalk board hanging overhead, above the cash register. Mix and match panini, tramezzi, bruschetta, and crostini (and if you don't know what each of those are, don't worry, they explain them on the menu) with homemade soups and delightfully simple salads. All of their menu items are simply designed and have that rustic, Italian feel. With one bite, you are instantly transported to a little sandwich shop in Italy, enjoying your palette-pleasing meal. Their local ingredients, artisan breads, and house-cured meats make it extra special and what they can't find locally, they import straight from Italy. 

What's the best thing to order? Everything is delicious. Try a panini with a green salad or homemade soup or a side of crostini. Or choose a few crostini to have with your soup. The flexibility of the menu really allows you to taste a little of everything. If you're a prosciutto-lover, try their Prosciutto, Mozzarella and Tomato Panino  with a deliciously light and simple green salad tossed with herbs, parmigiano reggiano and in a red-win vinaigrette (shown below). Try the warm olives with  orange, rosemary, garlic and crushed red pepper. The crostini with warm goat cheese, honey, and crushed black pepper is a delicious combination of tang, sweet and spice.  

Toast really is the perfect little paninoteca.
