Rarely will you find a Rhode Islander who does not appreciate a well-made sandwich. After all, it’s pretty much the perfect lunch (or any meal, really). 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.

The Sandwich Hut is located on North Main Street in Providence, where it has remained since its 1963 opening.

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.
