Pork Out:
SALUMI
Armandino Batali spent 30 years working for the Lazy B, mostly in Europe. When he retired, he came home but brought Europe with him. His salumeria on the border between Pioneer Square and the International District is the place restaurateurs go to unwind over a plate of pasta, a glass of vino, and some of the best Italian cold cuts this side of Hoboken, N.J., not to mention Bologna. (Don't take our word for it; see what Gourmet, Bon Appetit, and Zagat have to say.) The take-out sandwiches are sloppy, gooey, and totally delicious; the once-a-week gnocchi is handmade by Batali's big sister; and the atmosphere is friendly, noisy, totally backroom-at-Tony's. In its funky way, Salumi is as hot as the in spots Batali's son Mario runs in New York, but way, way cheaper. If it were open for more than lunch four days a week, it would be impossible to get into at all. R.D.
