Our Story
Founders Peter and Dana Burdi’s rich heritage in the culinary scene kicked off in 2009 with the acclaimed Hinsdale hotspots Il Poggiolo and Nabuki. Fueled by an enduring love for Italian cuisine and culture, they’ve provided Hinsdale with distinctive, refined dining experiences for more than 15 years.
Their latest venture, Pronto Sandwiches, brings a new slice of Italian culinary traditions to Hinsdale, powered by artisanal Schiacciata bread and family recipes that have been cherished and handed down through generations, promising a collection of flavors that capture the authentic essence of Italy.
Pronto’s soft, scrumptious Schiacciata bread makes every meal a masterpiece.
Experience a culinary journey with our Schiacciata bread, a masterpiece anchored by the time honored tradition of Italian bakeries. Enjoy the perfect balance of a crisp, crunchy crust and a soft, moist interior that defines every bite. Schiacciata – which means “pressed” – is the perfect complement to the finest imported Italian meats and cheeses.
Pronto Sandwiches isn't just about food; it's about community. Located within the historic building of Il Poggiolo on 1st Street, we invite you to join us in celebrating Italian cuisine.
