Rhode Island’s Sandwich Hut Has Been Serving Scrumptious Lunches For Three Generations

Perhaps that’s why Providence’s Sandwich Hut has been a popular spot for so long. This laid back little sandwich shop has been serving countless customized creations for three generations, and it’s still going strong.

No matter which part of the state you call home, you've probably driven by this place a dozen times without realizing its significance.
The Sandwich Hut was founded by Joseph Tatulli, whose daughter and grandson currently own and operate the place.

Tatulli was originally from Puglia, Italy and was a machinist during World War II. He was 40 years old when he decided to open his sandwich shop.
Tatulli had worked for his brother in a local sandwich shop, so he was an experienced sandwich artist.

He saw an opportunity with the little hut on Main Street, and the rest is history.
Many of the sandwiches have an Italian influence, especially the most popular menu item, the Alitalia.

The Alitalia is topped with rosciutto, capocollo, pepperoni, and provolone, and for most patrons, it's enough for two meals.
From meatball subs to veggie sandwiches on an oven-toasted roll, this place has a sandwich for every craving.

They even have a Frittata Friday menu, offering the tasty breakfast sandwiches on every working person's favorite day of the week.
The Sandwich Hut also serves soups, salads, and scrumptious desserts.
