“The most authentically delicious arancinE and sfincione this side of the Atlantic besides nonna’s! A sincere thank you to the friendliest hosts and staff as our group of fifty high school students and chaperones invaded their beautiful bottega! This place is amazing! Grazie di cuore in particolare allo staff!“
“We stopped in before our NYU tour and were greeted & seated right away! The menu includes pasta, sandwiches, salads, and more! My daughter is a vegetarian and appreciated the vegetarian suggestions on the menu. The food came out quickly and was both fresh and delicious! We would come here again!“
“As a massive fan of quality Italian sandwiches and cuisine, I did all the appropriate research to find the handful of shops my wife and I wanted to try while we were on vacation and this one was at the top of my list. I told myself I would only leave 1 review on this trip and I would only do it if I ate a meal that was truly worth me taking my eyes of the Braves game a few days later. Here we are. (Braves up 1-0 on the Mets btw).My wife and I both had a Chicken parm sandwich with vodka sauce. It was THE BEST SANDWICH I’ve ever had. Nothing more needs to be said. It is the best sandwich I've ever had in my 30 years of life.If you find yourself north of the equator at anytime in your life, do yourself a favor and come get a sandwich here. Buy a plane ticket, take a bus, steal your cousins car, or hitchhike if you have to but make sure you eat a sandwich from this shop during your lifetime. It will be worth it, I promise.Also, to the gentleman at the front in the Retired NY fire department hat… thank you for making my wife and I feel right at home the moment we walked in. I will be back every single time I come to NYC. God bless.“

“My two nieces and I popped in this morning on our way to the Natural History Museum. I’ll admit I was hesitant but thankfully I listened to my nieces! I had the avocado and eggs in a crepe, which was the best gluten-free sandwich I have ever had. Did not miss the bread at all. My 14 year old chose the Nutella crepe with banana and the 9 ounce Açaí bowl. Oldest selected one of the big bowls … it was a work of art. Highly recommend and we will be back on our next trip. All the best on your growth plans!“
“Ordered the Italian hero, and they threw in a tuna roll too, absolutely recommend you give it a try, get away from the chain shops and try a real nyc deli! Fair price for a sandwich on the move, the business is 35 year old and lasted for a reason!All the best catch you next time!“
“- If your looking for one of the best burgers you ever had, or just something to stand out from the onslaught of restaurants in Times Square area, Dark Side Of The Moon is the place to visit. Not only is it one the best names in restaurant history, it is one of the best burgers I've had nationwide. What really stood out was their choice of exotic meats. You can choose from alligator sausage, kangaroo, bison, elk, camel and yak burgers and they even have wild boar tacos. The yak burger stood up to their claim that it is the best meat they offer. Never have I had such a flavorful burger. Who knew yak would be so delicious. The owner was not only the host but also the server and worked hard to make the experience memorable. It's always a pleasure to see an owner who cares enough to work the trenches to assure his diners leave happy and satisfied. Will definitely return as there is a plethora of menu options still to try. If you have a chance to stop by and try their burgers I suggest you do just that.“
“Good place for brunch with the friends! My friend made a reservation for the 4 of us a week before and thankfully we did - it's a relatively small restaurant with limited seating. I got the Turkish eggs and it was good, although I would recommend ordering a bit more if you're coming for lunch.“
“Been hearing about Joe's bar on the Taste Buds podcast. The fam and I were in NYC for vacation and coming here was a great decision. The sandwiches were phenomenal, beer was cold, service was friendly. Definitely worth checking out if you're in NYC!“

“First time and could not be more impressed. First the bread , amazing . Chef Guerrieri is spot on with everything he prepares. Freshest ingredients put together perfectly . Did I mention the bread ? Only negative was they were sold out of the octopus ( I did order less than an hour to closing on a Friday in Lent , so I’m to blame) . The replacement the Chef recommended and provided was more than adequate and extremely generous. Great spot , great Chef , highly recommend.“
“Delicious Rouben sandwich - great proportions of pastrami and sauerkraut. The bread is not an ordinary slice of white bread, but a deliciously toasted and slightly fatty slice. In my and my wife's opinion, one of the best Rouben sandwiches in NY. We will definitely come back at the next opportunity - hopefully as soon as possible.“
“Nuru is very friendly and gives a good customer service. Every time I go there he knows what I want and how I want my sandwich. Quick service; the line move very fast with him. Also the Mexican man offer a very good customer service and he’s friendly too. Keep the good work!!! Thank you guys. ??????“
“I was around the area and I stopped by this place to grab a sandwich. By the time I stepped in the two employees welcomed me with a warm smile. I placed a to-go order of the turkey meatball sub. I waited for almost ten minutes while they were prepping my sandwich. The place was very clean and organized and my sandwich was delicious! Good job guys“
“Friendly service and amazing food. I normally do not like falafel, but I could not stop eating it. Truly delicious food. Tried and loved: falafel, hummus with terpanade, chicken panini, morrocan cigars, cuban grilled cheese, and prosciutto panini.“
“Place discovered by chance (the Routard indicated the restaurant next door which we do not recommend for the welcome).Unbeatable value for money, very very generous and very very good. The welcome is excellent, even for a French person who speaks the language very poorly. Very fast service. Only very deserved “very” ones.“
“Great service from a friendly crew. Prices are reasonable for the amount of food. Menu is a bit weird but seems to be highly customiziable, probably a good place to order online so you can see all the options available. Not a ton of seating indoors (2 seats) but there's a few tables outside.“
“They run this ship tighter than the navy. I recommend ordering online and picking up — even with the swarm of Business Bros I’ve never had to wait more than a few minutes, if at all. Every sandwich I’ve ever ordered has been great! Prices are standard for that of Dimes Square, maybe slightly lower. I salute the Toasties crew “
“I absolutely loved the Picnic Basket. I stumbled in here while visiting New York and I can't wait to visit again. I had a grilled Halloumi sandwich and the lentil soup they always have. The sandwich was fabulous but I could not stop talking about the soup! The staff was also very friendly and walked me through my order and recommended a special sauce I dipped my chips into. Love Picnic Basket!“
“- outdoor seating was so cute and heated!- workers were extremely nice- underworld wrap was delicious especially with the chipotle mayo sauce (andy loved the sauce so much he decided to put some on his pants to save for later!)- there was so much steak packed in there- the tortillas were light and airy-overall good experience definitely recommend- and the sauce was free!!“
“Heard about this place online and wanted to try it. Price wise, its around the same price as the other food in the area. The paninis were okay. Honestly, if I gave you a panini from a local popular corner deli and this place, this place would be slightly better. Give this place a shot and you can decide for yourself. I had the Cubano and it was okay.“
“It was such a refreshing change of pace to break away from the familiar chain restaurants that we can find anywhere and instead, experience what the locals do. Every morning, we made it a point to visit this charming spot for breakfast. The atmosphere was so cool and the food was simply delicious. And then, on our very last day of the trip, I was blown away by the amazing cheesesteak I had. Oh my God, it was incredible! I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for an authentic and unforgettable dining experience. It's the perfect way to fully immerse yourself in the local culture and flavors.“
“I've been coming here for many yrs, I'm a semi regular and it's always a pleasure coming in. From Felicia being amazing and always having a positive attitude to my service and food always being great, this is def the best Subway I've been to, especially after the renovations. The woman with the braided bun was the star of the show today for making an early release of the footlong sidekicks to me (thanks to management too) I got the churro and cookie one and it's so good, def recommend trying.“
“Deliriously delicious shop in the East Village! The sandwich rolls were the best I've tasted in NYC and perfectly toasted. My love and I enjoyed The Hog, a vermicelli and meat salad with the best fish sauce, and a lamb taco. I especially was impressed with the cleanliness and food handling. Go to "about us" to read the interesting story of the two friends/owners who we were so fortunate too meet at Wheelers in Sheepshead Bay.“
“Amazing little spot that has excellent service, bagels and coffee! Coming from Canada it’s a joy to pop into places like this and still get amazing food. Going back for a bigger sandwich soon!Update: sausage egg and cheese is amazing. Better than the last one I had somewhere else!“
“Wow. Really pleased with this. Split a chicken parmigiana hero. Delicious. Absolutely must split with someone or be really hungry. Excellent quality chicken, great tasting sauce, and just the right amount of cheese. I wish the bread was a tad better (got whole wheat), but was definitely fresh - just didn’t live up to rest of sandwich. Will try the other bread the next time. Go hungry and enjoy. Note that there is NO seating inside or out.“
“Est. 1969Layout/atmosphere*Italian deli/specialty store; four tables; four seat wall counter; one TV; daily hot food specialsFood/drink*Aldo (hot sopressata, fresh mozzarella, arugula, sweet roasted red peppers, balsamic vinegar) on seeded hero - Good; some heat from sopressata; balsamic was flavorful*White lasagna (leeks, sausage, béchamel) - really good; creaminess of the cheese; little fat from the sausage“
“This location has limited seating but is clearly a crowd favorite. I stopped by because I love pastrami and the reviews said so did Anthony Bordain. The pastrami sandwiches are approx. $24 but to be fair they are massive. I went for the half sandwich and half matze ball soup, which I poured into a bowl since I ordered takeout. Excellent soup, came with one large matzo ball. I particularly enjoyed the half loaf of rye bread which I proceeded to dip in the soup and the mustard packets. Not a fan of pickles but the lady in front of me ordered 6 extra ones so I am sure they're excellent. Overall, the sandwich was tasty and the meat was plentiful. It only took a few minutes waiting. I don't know that I would order their knishes or some of their other items not because they don't look good but because they pricey even for the neighborhood! $9 for a knish is outrageous. But if you're looking for a real NYC experience it's worth the wait for a table.“
“Very cool, eclectic Italian sandwich shop. First, it's tiny but cozy and creatively decorated.... Two tables inside and one outside... I ordered a Italian tuna with arugula, peppers. I asked to remove the chili paste and balsamic (dietary reasons)... That probably pulled a lot of taste away but it was a solid sandwich... Staff was great and seemed to be attentive to the customers... Price wise the sandwich was $18 and the burrata upgrade was $4.. $2 for a water... 2.5% service fee (no clue what / that is).... So $24.60 for a sandwich before tip and tax... I would like to try their meat based sandwiches, mine was good but eve with the chili paste and balsamic, not sure if it would justify the price...“
“Such a cute atmosphere inside, with well-priced and well-portioned sandwiches. We got the chicken parm (bread was phenomenal, chicken delicious and not too oily, great proportion of cheese/sauce as well) and the Ricky which was unlike any other broccoli rabe sandwich I’ve had before (a huge pile of broccoli rabe cooked in a pan with the sausage, really soft semolina bread).The quality of ingredients is amazing, but the folks at Lil Frankie’s Grocery were the best. The chef checked in on us through the window while we were sitting outside and even gave us sodas, which made our day! John was also so hospitable and friendly, we loved chatting with him.Will definitely be back again to try every sandwich on the menu, and will need to come grab a late night grandma slice at some point!“
“Lovely clean corner deli. Good for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Plenty of snacks, drinks and whatnot to choose from. Prices are reasonable considering it's location in Hell's Kitchen, ~$7 for a sandwich with chips and pickle, ~$2 for a drink or snack. The staff are friendly and the store itself is clean. They recently rebuilt the front entrance and it looks sharp! They have 3 tables with some chairs, but it's more of a carry-out focused place. Compared to Skyline this place is gold: cheaper and way better customer service. Great for a quick bite and fast becoming one of my favorites for lunch when I'm working in the area“
“I went here with a couple of friends, and was treated to a fairly decent meal. We came across this place quite by chance. While walking in Manhattan, we were looking for a place to eat that had a seat for each of us free.We spied Delmonico from across the street, and despite construction in the area, we made our way in. There were a couple of food stations and walls limited with drinks. There were plenty of side snacks scattered throughout.Our meals were very pleasant (we each had a sandwich).The prices were not absurd in so far as city pricing goes, and the selection was borderline overwhelming. I'll deffinatly go back here next time I'm in town.Parking: Located in midtown Manhattan, you can forget about parking.Kid-friendliness: Nothing about this place was especially kid friendly, but, there was enough food to satisfy all but the ficklest of tastes.Wheelchair accessibility: You can get in with no problems, but the aisles are narrow. They may offer help if asked, but I have no direct knowledge on the matter.The seating area in the back was floor level, but the tables were a bit close together.The bathroom was not accessible.“
“I work at food company who sponsors and promotes other food companies and I have to say barney browns one of the best tuna sandwiches I've ever had in my life, Im pescatarian. Delivery super fast, even today I got a wrong sandwich whole new order to me in 15 mins. I was surprised that goes to show you there determation, drive excellent customer service all within 30 mins from closing. Would highly recommend. They got me spoiled I never order sandwich from anywhere else doesn't compare“
“The sandwiches here are not only phenomenal, they're delivered with a speed that could make fast food joints weep into their pre-packaged salads.And let's talk about The Italian sandwich. If Michelangelo were alive today, he'd abandon marble for bread, meats, and cheeses, sculpting the Sistine Chapel of sandwiches. It's that good.But the pièce de résistance? The Tomato Bisque Soup. Calling it 'life-giving' is an understatement. This soup doesn't just warm your belly; it hugs your soul, whispers sweet nothings to your taste buds, and might just cure the common cold.In short, Café D'elici isn't just a café; it's a culinary wizard in a world of muggle food. Don't walk, run. Your lunchtime routine will never be the same again."“
“Small place, very limited seating, but the food and service are great. The Godmother chicken cutlet hero is a winner and big enough to share or stuff your face and eat the whole thing. The hero bread was fresh and crusty, and they didn't cheap out with the chicken cutlets. Great place for a take out lunch, or if you're lucky to nab a table, eat in.Parking: Tough parking, take the 4 or the 6 to 33 street, walk a few blocks and get your steps in“
“A cute French sandwich and coffee shop. It has a few seats indoors and a few outdoor tables, but I was just buying a sandwich to eat at the park. Got a daily special chicken sandwich with blue cheese and mustard, good portion and loved the combination of flavours. Staff are very friendly too, would love to try a caffe au lait next time.“
“Very good baked goods but for the price I don't think it's worth it. I paid $7.40 just for a small scone today. Again, it's good but a bit overpriced, considering that many other bakeries I frequent in the area don't charge as much.“
“Four stars solely for the exceptional sandwich. The spot itself is a tiiiiiny hole in the wall. But it has charm! There is kitschy decor inside and funny memes to read as you wait to order. We had two issues. 1) it smelled incredibly strong of Sharpie the entire time we were there. There were a bunch of signs written in Sharpie taped to the counter. But the smell was strangely overwhelming as we ate and I found it off putting. 2) There are 3 seating options inside. A table for 2. A table for 4 with a bench on either side. And a counter looking outside with stools for 2-3. We took the table with the benches but oh my god were the benches rickety. They wobbled so much I was worried it would break as I sat! Long story short - I'd come back for the food without question. There were so many other things on the menu I'd like to try. I'd just skip dining in next time!“
“So I had been wanting to try the food from here and everything looked really delicious in the photos. I decided to do a salad and I did the create your own option which included shredded iceberg (not my favorite but was fresh and crunchy), red onions, basil (which they forgot, but no worries), and sharp provolone for my cheese. I chose the house sauce and honey mustard as my dressings in case I wasn't happy with either. I did order extra dressing which wasn't in my bag (paid for) but I was so happy with my salad I honestly didn't care lol. Both dressings were yummy so I kept alternating dipping pieces of cutlet and bites of salad/cutlet. The honey mustard wasn't too sweet, just perfect. The house sauce was like a russian dressing which I also love. The chicken was cooked perfectly and a generous portion too. It was seasoned well and crisp. My only wish is that they would give more veggie options to add to the salad so it's a little more enjoyable. I would definitely order from here again, I know I want to try the half sandwich combo next time.“
“Been going for 4 years, right across the street from my job. Service is always top notch, good is always if quality. They also have lots of unique combinations when you don't know what to order to keep things interesting. I'll eat in on days I'm alone and do take out on days I'm dining with folks in the office, but food is always fresh! Never had an order that was wrong or warranted to complaints.Side note: there is a reviewer here showcasing turkey bacon (what they asked for ) as pork bacon (what they didn't ask for ) I eat turkey bacon 98% of the time and they are apparently new at it. Pay them no mind. The staff is awesome here“
“The smoothie was so tasty!! They made my own smoothie creation after i was craving a certain combo. They were really friendly and accommodating. The smoothie eas peanut butter, strawberry, and banana. It was super delicious. The price was okay price point at $10 a drink.“
“I know it’s a sandwich place but I ordered one of the salads.I thought it was a good portion for a fair price. All of the ingredients seemed fresh and filling. Would go back and try other foods here.Staff was pleasant but nothing extraordinary or memorable.“
“I'm thrilled that Pickler has reopened, ensuring I don't have to miss out on my mid-week sandwich fix. What's even better now is that they offer a pickup window for contactless takeout and provide delivery service. On this occasion, I ordered the Avocado Sandwich with added smoked turkey and chipotle mayo on multigrain bread, while my partner went for the Egg Salad Sandwich with cheddar cheese, also on multigrain bread. We were both delighted with our sandwich choices. Pickler continues to be a fantastic lunch spot!“
“My favourite sandwich spot in the whole city! This place has an ideal location and is so convenient and quick to pop in for a quick lunch during a regular work day. You can expect to get your order in about 5 minutes! Being vegetarian I don't usually find options at sandwich places, but they're so nice that they actually replace the meat with avocado or roasted peppers! Ingredients are supper fresh and they have a variety of different types of breads to choose from. Totally love this place.“
“Really good sandwich from a food truck. Have tried quiet a few on the menu and haven't found one I didn't like. I usually get the Sonny Red or Lefty Louie. Coworkers have gotten the chicken sandwiches before and said it was good. I prefer the Focaccia or the French baguette personally.“
“This iconic food cart is located kitty corner across from Park Central Hotel before the side entrance to Carnegie Hall. It's a very unassuming cart and John keeps things simple with made to order sandwiches and platters. I ordered 2 lamb gyro pita sandwiches with vegetables and "white sauce" for my wife and me. Fresh, tasty, good. And John is a super nice guy.“
“This is one of my go to spots for breakfast in soho. I tried the Grilled Chicken Panini for the first time and it was fire. You're getting juicy grilled chicken, fresh mozzarella, red peppers and a sauce in there. The service never takes too long. This spot is a convenient whole in the wall in soho.“
“Pretty good Italian sandwich spot in Manhattan, and reasonably priced.We got the sanpanino (which was great) and the prosciutto di Parma (which was alright). It had nice outdoor seating and the homemade lemonade looked great for a warm day.“
“Really enjoyed my sandwich from here! I got the chipileno and it was surprisingly good! Great meat to bread ratio and while I think it could have been toasted a little longer - it was still delicious. The service was kind and the place gave a nice hole in the wall vibe. I will definitely be back soon.“
“I went to Rome in October 2023 and I wasn't able to eat the famous Italian panino, as the queue was huge and I didn't have much time.But I took advantage and when I was in NYC 2024 I went to the Times Square store and ate The Odd Couple, wonderful!!!!“
