SNDWCH Rebrands as Adriano’s Italian Sandwiches
SNDWCH has officially traded in its shorthand for a name that tells you exactly what’s between the bread. The chef-driven sandwich shop is now Adriano’s Italian Sandwiches, the next chapter for husband-and-wife duo Chef Adrian Patron and Dominique Hawit-Patron, who opened their first Doral location in 2023 and have since expanded to three Miami spots.
The rebrand puts the couple’s Italian inspiration and Miami roots front and center, while keeping the shop’s “Always Sliced to Order” promise intact. There’s a different reason to stop by every day of the week: Tuesdays bring 13 half-sandwich-and-side combos, Wednesdays feature a rotating $10 sandwich, Thursdays offer two Signature Sandwiches for $30, and Fridays turn every Signature Sandwich into a $15 lunch from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Adriano’s Italian Sandwiches has locations in Doral, Sunset, and near FIU. For more information, visit their official website.
