Mercato Cucina

Me and my law office order from here always. Let me just say this, I don't eat Italian food everyday cause I'm a Korean dude, but this place just changed my life. I think I turned Italian when I ate the Capo, not to mention how fresh the ingredients are. Yo I turned Italian for the duration of eating this sandwich. This sandwich tasted so good it changed my entire life trajectory. It made me see life in a different perspective. Don't even get me started on their 18th Ave sandwich dawg, that jawn made me into Italian mafia the time I ate that. Anyways thank you for your craft, that jawn was amazing.

The owner wasn’t particularly nice or friendly but then again geniuses rarely are. Yes! this guy is a culinary genius that somehow transformed an ordinary deli sandwich into a gourmet sensory experience. Clearly fresh, high quality ingredients, no short cuts on flavor and for a perfectly reasonable price too! I’m impressed. I can’t wait to be hungry again so i can go back. Probably a week or so given the portion size.

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 🙏🏻🙏🏻

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.
