I loved this place as I travel 30 plus mins to get their sandwich. Unfortunately, this will be our last! My wife and I love the 18th ave sandwich and came here numerous times. Today 3/4/26 at 4:30 PM I called and ordered two 18th Ave sandwiches and picked it up at 5:05 PM. At 5:45 PM got home to open up and enjoy our dinner, but we were extremely disappointed and unsatisfied. It’s ridiculous that we were given burnt chicken cutlets. This is a way to lose customers because my wife and I were regulars. The food was hard to chew, the cheese usually melts and we believe this was old stale chicken slapped on the bread. The right thing to do was to throw away the brunt chicken and put fresh one on it. Extremely unsatisfying experience with a one plus hour of driving and spending $35 on two brunt sandwiches.

Hands down you aren’t going to get a better sandwich anywhere else. Everything beyond fresh…. Cutlets made right in front of you before they go on your sandwich. Honestly the hardest part is picking just one. Always fresh and always delicious. Thank you!

Mercato Cucina is on another LEVEL.
Dave (the owner) is an absolute master of his craft. The sandwiches here are OUT OF THIS WORLD — and I don’t say that lightly. Every. Single. Time. The food is insanely fresh, packed with flavor, and clearly made with passion and intention.

This isn’t just a sandwich spot — it’s a full experience. Quality ingredients, creative specialties, and flavors that hit your taste buds in ways you didn’t even know you were missing. You can taste the care in every bite.

If you appreciate real food, specialty sandwiches, and top-tier quality, Mercato Cucina is a MUST.

Highly recommended to anyone willing to trip their taste buds and walk away craving their next visit before they even finish the first sandwich.

Dave — keep doing what you’re doing. Absolute 🔥🔥🔥

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
