Everything Is the Best, but particularly the Pinocchio (proscuittuo, sopressata, mozzarella, sweet red pepers, and olive paste) and the Pavarotti (alami, smoked mozz, sun dried tomatoes, artichoke).
Emily WilsonAugust 19, 2015Get here around 11:15 and wait until it opens so that you'll be the first in line. Otherwise, expect to wait a while. Best Italian sandwiches in the city, hands down.
Village VoiceJune 3, 2013Pretty much everything on this sandwich shop's menu is a good choice, but our favorite is the Da Vinci: sardines or mackerel layered with sun-dried tomatoes and Bel Paese cheese on a plank of bread.
Jeremy JacobowitzSeptember 30, 2014The most amazing Italian deli sandwiches! Every sandwich is fantastic with their fresh meats and cheeses. And the bread! Watch out though: when they run out of bread early afternoon, they close!
Dianna H.August 9, 2014With ingredients as fresh & delicious as these, you really can't go wrong with any of these sandwich choices. My favorite is the Matthew.
Cameron GidariApril 29, 2016The pinnochio is one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. Cash only. Get there early, the line is always long and it's a small staff.
Make damn sure you know what you want and on what bread before you get to the front of the line. They don't mess around with their speedy service. It's a good system, respect it!- F. BastardSeptember 13, 2014Have you ever liked the first thing you ordered somewhere so much you don't dare to get something else next time? I've been eating the Fellini on Focaccia here for 15 years. I could eat one now.
BuzzFeedApril 11, 2014Alidoro’s sandwiches — which get stuffed with prosciutto, chicken, mozzarrella, eggplants, and so on — are huge without being sloppy. They’re like a refined version of an Italian deli sub.
The Pinocchio is a piece of art work. Prosciutto, sopressata, fresh mozzarella, sweet roasted peppers, olive paste. Prices aren't too bad considering they are 12+ inches.
Jon HorowitzJanuary 29, 2019Phenomenal sandwiches! Whatever you get, get it on the sfilatino bread. Highly recommend the Pinnochio and Michelangelo. Bring cash!
If you didn't know this place was there, you'd walk right by it, but it's worth stopping in and trying any of the Italian sandwiches on the menu, which you have to order by name and can't sub out.
Sarah SpagnoloDecember 31, 2016I always go for the amazing Alyssa sandwich, but this time around, thought the focaccia was too dense. Will probably opt for the standard roll next time.
CompassJuly 22, 2013Italian sandwiches are classic and homey at this small shop, with its endless variations of fresh mozzarella, tomatoes, pesto, and prosciutto on top of crunchy bread.
I didnt know about the lady sandwich Nazi :( .. Go in prepared. The sandwich was delicious and giant. Get the sfalitino bread but dont ask for it hot or you'll get a stern talking to!
Melissa RosenthalJuly 3, 2015One of the best sandwich places in the city. Order the Matthew and you won't be disappointed.
Joanna MarieAugust 9, 2015amazing authentic Italian sandwiches. a great spot for a quick delicious meal if you're sightseeing. I would get it often if I lived nearby too!
Denis SosnovtsevJune 26, 2015The bread is the star here. The menu is intimidating, but it's all the same 6 ingredients over and over so just choose your meat, cheese, and spread/veggie.
NYC: The Official GuideDecember 16, 2011Follow the rules to avoid any sass here. Get the Pinocchio: prosciutto is shaved before your eyes and layered carefully with sopressata, fresh mozzarella, sweet roasted peppers and olive paste. Read more
Berk KapiciogluOctober 11, 2014Probably the best Italian sandwich shop I have ever been to! My personal favorite is Da Vinci, it's a seafood sandwich with sardines.
Matthew HuieJuly 7, 2016Get the Matthew on white bread. Be prepared to order and pay, or get yelled at!
Eric BlackOctober 28, 2020The sandwiches are all fantastic. Go ahead and spend another buck to get a bread you really love...like focaccia!- They got me hooked. They understand the science of layering a sandwich. My perfect $14 Romeo is worth the trip every time!
Arnaud RéautéNovember 28, 2015Very good products and tastes from Italy in quite large sandwiches. They are a bit expensive though which can make you hesitate to choose it
Ryan AmbsMarch 26, 2015Sandwiches are good and simple. One or two meats, one or two vegetables, one cheese, good bread. A bit too expensive for me though, especially given what you could get at Faicco's
Zach MaierJune 27, 2012Don't leave the door open. Be ready to order. Don't talk when he's watching movies. Carefully listen for your sandwich when it's called. The sandwiches are great if you can avoid getting scolded.
These are among the best sandwiches you'll ever eat. Know what you want before you get to the front of the line, pay $0.50 to upgrade to semolina bread, and have cash ready to pay.
Hani HongOctober 8, 2013If the line is out the door, your wait time will be approximately 15-20 minutes. Photograph the menu at the door to read in line but don't forget to review the specials at the counter!
Cash only! Amazing sandwiches that are definitely enough to share. Try to make your way down the entire menu - they are all really that good.
Sandwiches are amazing. Do everyone in line a favor and know what you want ahead of time. Recommend anything that sounds Italian
Tiffany LangstonFebruary 1, 2015Oh my. This is one of the best sandwiches. Quality ingredients. Cash only, and pricy. Sandwiches range from $10-$15.
David HoltzSeptember 6, 2016The sandwiches are delicious, but the owner is a Trump supporter and will talk your ear off about politics if given the chance!
Kimberly AginSeptember 5, 2015The owner is a truly miserable woman, so just don't expect friendly service. The sandwiches are delicious and worth the trip. Really.
Steven GantmanOctober 15, 2013Good sandwiches and bread- I got the Alyssa with chicken but tried my friends Marconi with capicola which was so much better so don't get a chicken sandwich
Dan EJanuary 13, 2020Everything here is great. Don’t overthink it and don’t ask for suggestions or substitutions
naveenJanuary 18, 2012a beautiful new york city classic. to try: alyssa and porchetta. and then make your way down the list.
Wesley BlissSeptember 2, 2015Delicious, huge, classic Italian sandwiches, no coffee, no credit cards, cash only, run by an always angry woman.
Chris LApril 17, 2014Alidoro’s sandwiches — which get stuffed with various permutations of prosciutto, chicken, mozzarrella, eggplants, and so on- David HowlandJuly 26, 2019The best (and only) $12 prosciutto and cheese sandwich on wheat bread that I've ever had.
melody on focaccia is the jam. tuna, artichokes, and dressing deliciousness.
- Cameron GidariApril 23, 2016The Pinocchio is unbelievable. One of the best sandwiches I've ever had in NYC.
I'm so happy a friend told me about this place. But know what you want ahead of time and have cash!
Danny TrejoAugust 7, 2015Make sure you know what you want. She's the sandwich/soup lady. She always repeats what your order to the whole place. Hilarious! Great sandwiches.
Joshua MartensMarch 4, 2014The Romeo is a spicy chicken sandwich. Get it! This place is the real deal.
- Nate FolkertOctober 9, 2014cortina sandwich on focaccia - smoke prosciutto, mozzarella, arugula, and dressing
Make sure you know what you want. Pay cash. Get the sfilatino. Enjoy the best sandwich in NYC.- David PoynerJanuary 15, 2015Don't expect to be tucked in at night. Order a sandwich off the list, pay cash, and get out. It's not that hard and you won't regret it.
Lauren MacNovember 7, 2015No nonsense, cash only, but the size and flavor of their sandwiches leaves people coming back for more. And waiting in a sizable line to do so.
