Mozzarella en Carrozza
Rated 3.3 stars by 53 users
Italian comfort food ups the ante on our take on the grilled cheese sandwich.
If you grew up in Italy, this is what you’d eat instead of grilled cheese and tomato soup. Decadent mozzarella sandwiches are battered, breaded and fried until gooey. Served with our famous homemade marinara sauce, just like nonna used to make.
