    Food was great they have a really big menu. Great for when you're looking for something Italian, but don't wanna get caught up in all the restaurants in little Italy. Perrrfect

    Feh! Another Pisillo wannabe but you ain't gonna be Pisillo because you are NOT Pisillo! What sets Pisillo apart from all the other Italian sandwich shops in New York City is their authenticity. Short of Parisi, no other comparable sandwich shop has their meats imported from the old country, their breads from the old country, their cheeses from the old country. Here, everything is from New York bakeries, butcher shops, and produce markets. While not a bad thing, it loses me because real deal Italian products from Italy taste much better, even if it does cost more. The sandwich comes with a lot of meat, and the meat is good. Unfortunately, the bread is on the softer side. There is little to crunchiness, little to no resistance. It felt like it was too over proofed. As I mentioned in a previous Yelp review, the bread is what binds a sandwich together. A tasty bread brings it all together nicely, even if the meat is just okay. A lousy bread undoes it all, even if the meat is tasty. Bread on these sandwiches need to work, or you just call it an antipasto salad and call it a day. With that, I will stick with Pisillo for that authentic Italian vibe. This is not a bad sandwich, but not the best for value.

    Wow, this little hole in the wall hits the mark. Just walking distance from the court house making it the perfect spot for downtown lawyers, jurors, and others. Let's dive in .... Venetto (5/5): This sandwich is pretty much everything I wanted. The bread came out warm, fresh, and soft. The avo, normally the king of all things millennial was fresh, but I was more taken aback by the roasted red pepper and artichoke. The arugula and house vinaigrette tie it so nicely together. I added fresh motz for $2 more and it all felt whole. Service (5/5): Quick service, brought me the food. Super friendly and helpful when ordering. TL;DR: A major win for City Hall and Downtown Manhattan. Affordable bite to eats are hard to find here. If I'm in the area would absolutely return.

    A great place to get a sandwich in the area. There are many options including vegetarian ones. The smoked chicken is thinly sliced and the mozzarella is fresh.

    I visited Chipilo on a Monday. Overall service was good and quick - I had my sandwich within 2 minutes of ordering. The staff was also very friendly. The sandwich itself was a bit bready - I got the Chipileno and they were a bit stingy with the Prosciutto. The meat to bread ratio was not ideal. The dressing did taste nice and the bread was very fresh. Overall good service, but the sandwich itself was just average.

    Small high quality Italian sandwich shop. Excellent ingredients which are fresh and assembled to order. I usually get the whole size (vs. half) which can be a bit pricey depending on what you choose. Bread is usually fresh but have had a couple instances where it wasn't as fresh as I'd hoped. I tend to go with the sfilatino. They are happy to customize which is nice, I like their hot spread so often add it. All in all a fantastic option in the area if you're craving an Italian sandwich.

    Solid sandwich served swiftly, friendly staff. Appreciated that they wouldn't give the person ahead of me an unripe avocado. Good lunch option for those near the courts.

    Love the quality of the breads, the contents and the nice service. However its pricey for a sandwich. Small hole in the wall place with maybe 5 seats. Half sandwiches run around $8-9 dollars and full is around $14 depending on what you order. Got the full Massimo (ham, olives, artichoke and smoked mozzarella) and I was hoping to eat it as 2 separate meals. I didnt last 2 hours before I devoured the other half. a delicious sandwich sitting right next to me will never last.

    Stopped by on a hot evening to see what has become of what used to be Sharkey. Was surprised to see that another business was in operation already. Decided to pop in and give the sandwiches a try. I decided on the Stefano (smoked chicken, smoked mozzarella, roasted peppers, arugula, hot spread). The sandwich itself is pretty big. I didn't measure it, but I'd say it's probably a foot-long. First complaint. When I unwrapped my sandwich back home, it was uncut. I mean, it's not a big deal but what reason is there to not cut a sandwich that long? Would someone really pick up the whole foot and start chowing down? Also, the bread it is on is a very basic whole wheat (I think) bun. The bread was a bit dry actually. On first bite, my thought was where's the hot spread?? Upon inspection, there is SOME sort of sauce in the sandwich. I couldn't tell you what, but it sure wasn't hot sauce. Not even a hint of spiciness. Overall, unimpressive. The sandwich was super basic. Way too expensive. Came out to be $14 and change after taxes. I miss Sharkey's Cafe :(

    Imported meats only! Cut at the moment by the man himself (Manolo). Very cool staff!!

    The place is great!! Sandwiches made to perfection :) I'm a huge fan of my sandwiches but I'm a little picky with my food, so I hate it when I go to the store and they only have turkey ham and w.e but no pork so being able to go somewhere, where you can look at the menu and everything seems good it's not something I see every day. The people are so nice and friendly that when I asked if they had mayo because I didn't see it at all they said they'll get me some. So that's something I truly look for in a place. Great service, great food and my next must go to spot for sandwiches.

    Best sandwich spot in Chinatown. Grab one (a full size is plenty) and chill at the park and watch dogs run and kids play. Life ain't bad.

Think vintage wallpaper, little knick-knacks, and warm lighting. It's got character. I ordered the market salad with mixed greens, honeycrisp apples, goat cheese, candied pecans, and sherry vinaigrette. It was a hearty portion - super fresh and flavorful, and honestly more than I could finish (not a complaint!). I also ordered a Diet Pepsi with grenadine; they don't carry Diet Coke, which I almost docked a point for, but the mix was unexpectedly delicious. Highly recommend it. My date ordered the hanger steak and said it was absolutely amazing. Only hiccup: his first glass of wine he got came out hot... like, microwave-level warm. Fortunately, the server brought a new (cold) one and the rest of the meal was smooth sailing. Service was friendly, the vibe was homey and relaxed, and the food was solid across the board. Would definitely come back, especially for that salad and another round of grenadine magic.

    After a weekend of rich, indulgent meals, we were looking for something a little more…read morestraightforward and comforting. We also wanted to try a classic pastrami on rye--but without committing to the long lines at Katz's Delicatessen. Sarge's ended up being the perfect alternative, just a quick five-minute walk from our hotel. We arrived around 5:00 pm on a Sunday and were seated right away, which already felt like a win. The meal started with coleslaw and both a half sour and full sour pickle--such a classic deli touch, and a great way to kick things off. I ordered the half sandwich with matzah ball soup, and the portion sizes were no joke. The soup alone could have been a full meal: a huge bowl with an equally massive matzah ball. The broth was warm and soothing, and the matzah ball was incredibly light with a perfect texture. The half pastrami on rye was just as impressive. Even "half" was stacked high with flavorful, tender pastrami. Adding a bit of mustard from the table brought everything together--it was simple, classic, and exactly what I was hoping for. Not only was it one of the more reasonably priced meals of the trip, but it was also genuinely satisfying. If you're looking for a no-fuss, traditional deli experience without the wait, Sarge's is a great option.

The sandwiches are huge so keep that in mind. They were willing to split ours into 3 to share.

Enjoyed the experience for a quick diner meal.
