Mercato Cucina

Giant sandwich and everything was super fresh one of the best delis around

Mercato Cucina is next-level. I don’t usually leave reviews—or order anything with eggplant—but here we are.

Owner/chef David sent us his top three sandwiches—the Capo, the 18th Ave., and the Cugine—and all were unreal. The Cugine, with thin, crispy eggplant on house-made salami bread, won me over. Never thought I’d say that about eggplant.

David even packed them up himself and put them in an Uber courier. Who does that ??! Someone who knows their food is worth it.

Thank you for making three dudes who love a good sandwich very happy — and for the delish lemon cookies !

I come to this place all the time and it's fantastic. Yes, the owner (or whoever's behind the counter) is sometimes cut and dry - but this is honestly refreshing compared to overly nice guys who pad their poor food with saccharine personalities and I'd be very sad if it suddenly changed. Quality is great both lunch and dinner

I must say Not the friendliest atmosphere when walking in.. The guy behind the counter needs a reality check with his people skills and mannerisms especially being in the food business. Otherwise, his sandwiches are good at best and nothing more.

Sandwich good

Best heros you can get. Super fresh high quality ingredients. Catering is also super good. Try the 67th street! Delicious! Can’t go wrong with anything here!

Randomly found this place visiting Long Island. I ordered a 67th ST with some prosciutto. AMAZING hero! I didn't expect it. They use an aioli spread with Calabrian Chili that just took it to another level. They know what they're doing at this place, I will travel back.

We love living next door to this gem! Delicious, fresh ingredients and a cozy ambiance. We love the cappuccinos and the LIE is our favorite breakfast sandwich! It’s a slice of Brooklyn in the heart of Long Island - making me feel right at home :)

PHENOMENAL 🥇🥇

Italians are known for great pizza, pasta, & cheeses. I never would’ve guessed they can make a bombshell sandwich!

$15.95 for the 18th Ave:
consists 1.90 lbs of Italiano goodness & madness.

The chicken cutlet shouts perfection with the provolone and fresh Semolina bread. One bite and your eyes open wide. Wow! Huge portion & good enough to share.

Top 3 sandwiches I’ve ever eaten. Katz’s deli is not even on the list. Come with a big appetite and prepare to be WOWED!

Lastly, the Americano will make Starbucks jealous & nervous. It’s gourmet quality. 👍👍

Chef David Buico has really outdone himself. Much thanks from a new customer 🙏🏻🙏🏻

I’ve been here twice so far and I absolutely LOVE their sandwiches, definitely big enough to share between two people and the atmosphere and taste always makes me feel like I’m back in Europe <3

This is one of the best chicken sandwiches i’ve had in a LONG time. Online ordering was quick and accurate. The store was very cute, but didn’t have a lot of seating. Will definitely be going back to try the breakfast sandwiches.

Went for lunch for the first time the person behind the counter wasn’t friendly, welcoming or helpful. I asked if the sandwiches only came in one size and he lifted a piece of bread up. Most places are friendly, inviting and helpful specially if they see you are a new customer. I proceeded to order and paid but my coworkers were reluctant to order or go there again. The food was amazing so I convinced them to give it a chance with me again hopefully next time it’s a better experience or I’ll just order for pick up.

Absolutely no words! We ordered 2 sandwiches and ended up walking out with almost everything they had to offer! The sandwiches were out of this world everything was extremely fresh and the chicken cutlet especially was the best I’ve ever had. The owners were extremely welcoming. I drove an hour and a half and I will definitely be coming back.

Very filling lunch! I could only finish half of the Capo sandwich. The ingredients were fresh and they cut the meat on the spot. Cappuccino was great too! Would recommend~

I come every month for the sandwich of the month. Each one is packed with flavor and combinations that really work. My buddy and I will text each other updates for when the next one comes out. The place is awesome inside, the owner/chef David is a really good guy. It’s very old school Italian, and the food is just awesome. The chicken cutlets are always awesome as well. I love supporting this place monthly, and it’s a great business sitting in the town. Definitely give it a shot, well worth it.
