Comedy trio Sooshi Mango is set to open a new sandwich shop, Sangaweech, on Lygon Street in Melbourne. The shop will feature a grab-and-go style, offering panini, focaccia, and small snacks in a cozy, homely atmosphere. The trio, known for their comedy, spent 18 months working on the project, focusing on quality and creating a unique dining experience. The name Sangaweech is a playful take on how an Italian nonna might pronounce 'sandwich'. The restaurant will have a nostalgic feel, with orange laminex benches, cream-based retro-patterned tiles, a dessert display, lace curtains, and 80s-inspired staff uniforms. The menu will include a variety of sandwiches, such as stacked prosciutto, mortadella, salami, and capsicum, as well as bite-sized chicken cotoletta, deep-fried mozzarella sticks, and hand-cut nonna-style chips. The trio, including Joe Salanitri, Carlo, and Andrew Manfre, have fond memories of Lygon Street from their childhood and aim to encourage more movement on the street. They have recently knocked back offers to open restaurants in other cities, focusing on making their one location an iconic destination. Sangaweech will open for lunch and dinner daily, located at 300 Lygon Street, Carlton, and can be followed on Instagram at instagram.com/sangaweech.
