Excellent mozzarella and prosciutto and salami. The best authentic Italian deli in the world. Grab a number and get ready to fill a bag or two!
Serious EatsApril 23, 2013
Prosciutto Cotto, Mortadella and Provolone: The meat is delicate, flavorful, and perfectly salty; it's all stuffed within a soft piece of pizza bianca that works just right for this sandwich.
Chris CooksonJuly 16, 2015
If they still have bread ask for a sandwich, it's not directly on the menu but will be absolutely delicious. A simple sandwich with cheese, prosciutto and some olive oil drizzled on top. It's like $8.

Make sure to grab a number on the way in- that's how you get served. The porchetta, prosciutto, meatballs, mozzarella, olives, etc... Everything is good. Plus, they're pretty liberal with the samples!

100-year-old Italian specialty market with incredible mozzarella and fresh porchetta. Expect long waits, but they're worth it for Louie's selection of imported and deli products.

Waits can be long, but only because so many people are vying for their products, like prosciutto di parma, smoked mozzarella, and soppressata. Lots of imported goodies and the staff is amazing.

Great selection of imported Italian goods! Plenty of cheese! Get their mozzarella & melt-like-butter prosciutto!
CompassMay 15, 2014
The Italian gourmet shop has been family-owned since 1910 and has ingredients from all regions of Italy. Imported cheese, olive oils, and handmade cheeses are all available for purchase.

THE ONLY PLACE I trust to slice their prosciutto Di Parma perfectly. Cacciatore dried sausage is amazing with piave. Pistachio crema > Nutella. They let you sample everything & are extremely helpful.

Well worth the wait. Ask the staff for cheese recommendations and always get the prosciutto, which melts like butter
Serious EatsApril 23, 2013
Head over at 1 p.m. for the fresh-from-the-oven porchetta, some of the best you'll ever have.

Staff is super knowledgable and really friendly, so if you have a question about history, prep or whatever, ask away! Best prosciutto, mozzarella, ravioli, parm, all at reasonable prices.
MicheleJanuary 2, 2013
Stay away from eataly. This is the real Italian place. Best prosciutto best cheese best ravioli and prices are good too !!!
Wendy QiuMarch 22, 2015
Asked for help making a charcuterie plate .. Super helpful and generous with samples of everything. Their homemade vodka sauce is also perfect.
City Food ToursFebruary 15, 2012
Gourmet Italian foods on offer for your home Top Chef-like kitchen. Give yourself a time limit and see if you can get to the next level--don't forget to pick up some fresh mozzarella.
Kate FurmanMarch 21, 2016
Check out the old school cash register. Don't forget to grab a number when you walk through the door if you need behind-the-counter assistance.
Henry WinslowAugust 15, 2013
Call ahead to confirm if and when the succulent, fatty, fennel-stuffed porchetta will emerge from the oven (usually around 1pm). When you arrive, they'll throw it on a sandwich for you for $7.
FionaMarch 17, 2015
I'm a huge fan of their burrata and their pesto...and everything else they have. I also love that they sell San Benedetto flavored teas!
Tasting TableMay 17, 2012
Take two slices of hot crackling-skinned porchetta, one container house-made ricotta and a slab of pizza bianca, and combine with a sidewalk bench for an epic lunch.
Harumi UJanuary 20, 2015
4 generations running over 100 years of business. You notice the smell of cheese and cured meat just by walking by and that's not all they have
Lafayette 148 New YorkNovember 29, 2011
The best Italian grocery in town. Everything comes fresh from Italy – you can’t live without the olive oil, prosciutto, parmigiano, and homemade mozzarella.
Lino RibollaSeptember 8, 2017
still the place to go in NYC when you want something hard-to-get, authentically Italian
chinselJuly 6, 2015
the buratta and the ricotta are to die for
Buford BarnesMay 30, 2012
Established 1910. Continuously family owned. Still makes its own cheese daily. Over 300 types of cheese. And more than 100 varieties of pecorino.
ShopikonOctober 10, 2011
An Italian delicatessen with prodigious amounts of imported goods from the old country. Everything from hand-made pasta to prosciutto that melts in your mouth.
Real Cheap EatsJune 17, 2012
Always be on the lookout for the house porchetta, "a generous portion of crisp, fatty, salty pork strewn with herbs and celery." Read more
Paul KardousAugust 23, 2014
The best Mortadella in New York. Get the male version, it's more flavorful.
Samara TrillingNovember 9, 2019
The Lelusi Aglianico del Vulture wine and the tartufo cheese are 👌
William HubaMay 25, 2015
Bomb breads and cheeses. Wait can get long but its worth it.
aika nkOctober 26, 2013
Simply Devine. Check out the face drawings by a professional cartoonist customer. Best prosciutto. Bar none.
Ebrahim BandookwalaApril 5, 2018
Go for porcetta at 1pm daily (call before).
FiorelliJuly 21, 2011
Amazing prosciutto and selection of Italian cheeses! Montasio (with some truffle honey!) is a personal favorite.

Ask for the Delicious Porchetta sandwich. It's big enough for a small family.
Emma CramerFebruary 22, 2016
Friendly, knowledgeable staff who will give you large samples of cheese 🧀🧀🧀
Ollie MartinAugust 7, 2018
A great place for great quality Italian foods, but the service is extra slow.
TSeptember 13, 2017
The mozzarella is so fresh and delicious
Saneel RadiaSeptember 20, 2014
Get a number when you walk in. That's not a line you're waiting in.
Kimmie OhhAugust 19, 2020
They have been in business since 1925!
Vanessa DbdMarch 24, 2011
You don't have to wait in line if you're not getting anything sliced and you only have a couple of things
Tracie LeeFebruary 28, 2014
Make sure to get a number by the door!
Ian KennedyFebruary 26, 2021

Prosciutto, burrata and mozz. That's all.
