Mercato Cucina

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.

Amazing sandwich and huge. I’m a bigger guy with a big appetite but the capo was huge!! Fresh ingredients and fresh mozzarella you can’t go wrong. Everything else is made to order and very high quality. Will def stop by again next time I’m in Huntington.

Look NO FURTHER- unequivocally the BEST SANDWICHES I’ve ever had. I’m well travelled and serious foodie. I had just been all over Italy and I know it’s crazy to say but Mercato Cucina still takes the cake for best sandwiches. Between the semolina bread, the premium cured meets, that bomba chili- oh man, I’m drooling just thinking about it. The creations for the sandwich of the month gig gets better and better. While you’re paying close to $20 for a MASSIVE sandwich, it’s worth every penny- seriously, if I was down to my last $20 I would spend it on a sandwich from here. LONG LIVE MERCATO <3

Was in the area, stopped by with low expectations however the sandwich blew us away. We ordered the “18th Ave” simple but substantial. Highly recommend. Haven’t had a good chicken cutlet sandwich in a while.

I’ll start by saying I hardly ever leave Google reviews. But in high curiosity, after my experience, I had to check the reviews of this place after going for the first time. Some things I read matched up to exactly what I experienced. The place felt almost 80 degrees inside and I walked in to a gentleman watching a soccer game and the place completely empty, which is understandable given there were zero customers. I can also understand that everyone can have a bad day whether with their business or personal life. It was unpleasant from the start when ordering 2 sandwiches. I was also weirded out because of how hot it was inside, and the cold cuts and cheese being outside of the refrigerated area just on the back counter in the hot aired establishment. He seemed completed bothered I was even there trying to spend money in the place?!? I was courteous when placing my order saying “thank you”, zero response. While he was making the sandwiches I decided to get 2 espresso drinks so when we met at the register with the sandwiches I ordered the drinks when he asked if I wanted anything else. He seemed annoyed again that he had to make them. I thanked him again when I paid, zero response in return. While he was making the drinks I noticed chips in the corner and decided to get two bags. I dared to ask while he was making the drinks if he can ring me up for them as well. He stopped making the drinks, again looking frustrated and walked over to the register and rang up the chips (I thanked him for the 3rd time during the interaction and again no response). When the drinks were done he just pointed at the counter as he started to walk towards the backside of the kitchen counter area. I grab the drinks as he’s walking back around the counter and thanked him a 4th time and also said “have a good day” to only see his back to me with zero response. I was repeatedly being nice to him the entire time trying to make something out of this experience and nothing. On a side note, I am a very frequent goer of Robkes for years. I went to try the place because I saw that Lou plugged you, so I figured it must of been good and aligned with his friendly way of doing business, except my experience here couldn’t of been further from the complete opposite. I guess you can get back to your soccer game now, sorry I bothered you.

I did a food delivery at this place and while it looked beautiful inside and all the food looked delicious, the big guy behind the counter was so grouchy and rude that it made me not wanna come back to try anything. Left a bad taste in my mouth, excuse the pun.

I’ve been hearing about this place for quite some time now and finally had a chance to try it today. WHY DIDN’T I TRY IT SOONER?!? I had the Capo and it was absolutely PHENOMENAL!! Fresh, delicious ingredients on an incredibly delicious bun!! WOW! WOW!! WOWWWWW!!!! Don’t wait like I did! Go enjoy some amazing food there TODAY!!!
