Profile

Formerly known as Melampo, this tiny takeout shop was home to the city's most talented—and temperamental—Italian sandwich maker, Alessandro Gualandi, who recently sold the business. Purists might find some changes, like the new tables for eating in, unsettling—to say nothing of the new owner's sunny sociability—but they'll be relieved to hear that the menu's the same, the Alessandro dressing spectacular, and you still have to order by sandwich name. — Rob Patronite and Robin Raisfeld

Get over yourself woman

Amazing sandwiches made with the finest ingredients accompany lousy service and attitude from the woman behind the counter (not the pleasant man). Get over yourself woman. Smile, and don't snap at your customers. While you're at it, buy a toaster. Who wants mushy bread sticking to the roof of their mouth while they eat what would otherwise be a perfect meal?

Just plain rude

The woman was unhappy that I had asked for two bags for two sandwiches, since my friend and I had to go our separate ways and I had checked to make sure that we each had the right bag. Then when I opened my lunch, I had his order. When I called them, I didn't even get a word in, she snapped that she was busy and hung up. I called again, explained the situation and she said it was a mistake, didn't apologize, and told me that I didn't have to ever come back. Which was overkill. I'll stick with Lamazou for quality sandwiches without a side of anger.
