Order the Italian special ($12) features: prosciutto, ham, soppressata, mozzarella, and either red peppers or marinated sundried tomatoes. The entirety is hosed with olive oil and vinegar. Read more

This is possibly one of the best kept secrets in Greenwich Village. The sandwiches are to die for served on fresh baked fantastic Italian bread.

Tourists, this is a take-out place, no tables! The sandwiches are imense, made from scratch, the friendly staff will help you going through the ingredients. I loved my roast beef monster creation!

HUGE and delicious, the sandwiches here are great. Personally a fan of their chicken cutlet with fresh mozz and pesto.
Joseph HuppertJanuary 8, 2017
Fabulous Italian delicacies & prepared foods. Try their Veal Parmigiana, Parmacota hams and roasted pork . Worth a trip into the city, 2 hour meters on Cornelius St.

As soon as you walk in, the smell makes you salivate. Prosciutto balls, arancini, fried cheese ravioli, the works. Come hungry, leave smiling.

Most incredible, GIGANTIC Italian sandwiches! I got prosciutto, fresh mozzarella, tomato, basil with oil & vinegar. Ate the whole thing at once. Did not regret it.

Chicken Cutlet Parmigiano Hero: “Tomato, mozzarella, and pecorino on a roll with freshly breaded, fried chicken cutlets. Why is it so good? It’s the flavors. The sauce. The chicken.”

Friendly neighborhood butcher shop with quality meats and Italian groceries at competitive prices. The sandwiches and other ready-made entrees are delicious as well

Get the Italian special with everything. (Italian hero/sub/sandwich) the chicken parmesan is also amazing. Both are sharable, eat em in a nearby park.
EdJune 7, 2015
The cooled salami, provolone and peppers is delicious. It also weighs about as much as a small child.
Chet ManciniOctober 20, 2014
Legit butcher and grocer. Italian special sandwich is huge and one of the best in NY. The chicken parm also worth getting.

The Italian Special is THE best Italian sub in NYC. I like to modify it by getting sharp provolone instead of the mozzarella, and adding the hot pepper spread.
Zayed KhanOctober 12, 2013
May be the best chicken cutlet w/ mozzarella & pesto sandwich I've ever had. Also large enough for two meals, so at $10 it is a bargain.
Paige CJuly 13, 2015
This might be one of the best deli sandwiches I've ever had. Extremely authentic deli!
Tom JosephApril 30, 2015
Great old-fashioned Italian deli. The Italian Special is great but nobody could hope to finish it alone, get it to share

They're homemade tomato sauce is unbelievable and all of their cold cuts and meats are top notch. Service is exceptional too.
Kimmie OhhDecember 3, 2019
Great house-made meats. Order a chicken parmigiana sandwich! Their sandwiches are huge!

Per the tips left here, the Italian Special is king... but, definitely split it with someone to avoid a full-on meat coma. Prosciutto balls on the side, of course.
Tom MortonJuly 4, 2014
It's all about the heroes: try mozzarella, broccoli rabe, grilled red peppers and hot peppers as a surprising vegetarian sleeper hit
David MilbergMarch 9, 2016
The Italian special sandwich is amazing! Make sure you bring your appetite because this sandwich is huge!

They have high quality ingredients so I keep it simple: hot soppressata with provolone, pepperocinis, black pepper and vinegar.
Maurio FioreAugust 15, 2014
Awesome sandwiches. The homemade hot soppressata with a hint of fennel is amazing. Just ask for a taste.
JillianJanuary 2, 2015
You're seriously disturbed if you order a plain old ham sandwich here. Go anything parm, italian special, or pesto mozz chicken cutlet, please. I beg you.
Sean WilkinsAugust 8, 2013
There is not a thing wrong with this place. I always recommend the meats and sandwiches. The roast pork and chicken cutlet parm are gold standards.
Brad SlavinMay 12, 2015
Hope you're hungry. Huge sandwiches, my fav is chicken cutlet, fresh mozz, pesto & broccoli rabe!!
NaztySeptember 11, 2020
Probably the best most satisfying sandwich in the World! Quality +Value = Amazing
Kathryn DMay 24, 2016
Limited vegetarian sandwich options but the buff mozzarella and the regular mozzarella are both outstanding hoagies.
Christine LJuly 7, 2017
People weren't kidding about how huge the Italian Special is. You can definitely do bicep curls with it.

Love this place - old school NYC. Amazing house made spicy sopressata and country style bacon, & roast beef. Sandwiches are great too...
Serious EatsJanuary 14, 2014
Italian cured meats and massive sandwiches, a West Village institution.
Abi BockJuly 31, 2015
It's like a 4am NYC bodega sandwich but actually good. Get the homemade roast pork.
Micah HalseySeptember 22, 2012
Heroes are delicious but may be some of the biggest sandwiches I've ever seen.
Kathryn HAugust 18, 2012
The Italian Special sandwich is delicious, but it is enormous. It will comfortably feed you and three friends.

The Italian special is huge. And delicious. One sandwich weighed in at 1.2lb. And it's only $12.
Richard BarberJune 7, 2016
Italian special is amazing
Ryan EickDecember 15, 2015
Everything is great, but the chicken mozz and pesto is the crown jewel.
David HowlandOctober 25, 2015
The best. Chicken, mozz, and pesto is the way to go.

Melanie MaddoxJanuary 31, 2018
Stopped by w #foodsofnytours and tried the arancini balls: a fried round cheesy rice ball of comfort. #yum
Vince C.July 1, 2015
Love the meatball Parm and the chicken cutlet w/ mozz & pesto sandwiches!
Gianna NebbiaMarch 26, 2023
Chicken, broccoli rabe, mozz, add hot peps
Village VoiceSeptember 11, 2012
If you like mozzarella then you must try the burrata - a cheese with a very similar soft and milky texture. #38 on our 100 Dishes to Eat Now.

Amazing selection of meats! Try the bacon, sliced thick! And if you're hungry grab some fried ravioli and a rice ball!
Eddie FitzgibbonJune 17, 2015
