This was a nice detour and I found a great sandwich shop at Filoncino. I was in Jersey last week and I want to grab a lunch before heading back to New York. I found Filoncino (thanks Yelp) in Staten Island right off the exit. I pulled in and saw Filoncino has plenty of available parking. Once inside, I see the restaurant is actually split with 1/2 sit down wait service and 1/2 take out with a few tables to eat your sandwich. The menu choices were pretty substantial, I was going for a hot chicken cutlet but the imported prosciutto sandwich was calling my name. This sandwich was a true banger: fresh mutz, peppers and prosciutto on freshly made Italian bread. Trust me, you're not getting this caliber of sandwich in Boca Raton! This a tried and true New York Italian sandwich. Filoncino, it was a pleasure to dine at your restaurant. read more

Absolutely spectacular! Artisan everything! The absolute best bread, the best fresh made to order sandwiches, hell they even have pizza that amazing! Super clean, great separation of counter and dining room. Very attentive staff. Lots of specialties every day! It's obvious that this is a "Sister business" to "Royal Crown"! Hands down, the best sandwich on Staten Island! I DO NOT CARE if you disagree! This is the spot! Highly recommended!!! read more

Edit: this review is for Filoncino Cafe on 2935 Veterans Rd W in Staten Island. They are probably related but I wanted to make sure that this review is for the right location. New favorite! We absolutely loved the food and experience here! They have a bakery with a big selection of Italian desserts, they also have bread and cakes. Absolutely delicious treats and coffee beverages! We came for late lunch and had sandwiches and salad. They have dairy free milk alternatives and gluten free bread as well! Fantastic! The bread here is so good! The sandwiches were excellent! ( hot tuna panini and chicken Parmesan sandwich ), the salad was fresh and so tasty! Friendly and attentive service, they were very busy for lunch but still excellent care and service. It's nice and warm inside, and the have 2 different areas and different style seating depending on where you sit. In the front they have tables and chair style seating, while in the back they have half booth style/chair style seating and some divided areas. Definitely recommend! We will be back when we are in the area! read more

Coffee was really good, didnt order food. My issue is the line situation when one is ordering food/drink to go. It isn't clear where one should wait on line, and where the line seems to start is really the pick up area so you shouldn't stand there. It's a bit confusing. And all of this is after trying to park in a packed parking lot. Wasn't the best first impression an island full of coffee shops these days read more

Food is always fresh. Best hero's on Staten Island. Best coffee and lattes. I mostly go for lunch read more

It took a while to find the right place on Yelp but this is a review for the one in eltingville. Really great experience. It was packed when we went but there was a lot of seating in the place! Outdoor seating would be a great addition. We ordered the pesto fries: it was less crunchy than I would've preferred but that's because there was a lot of pesto & mozzarella on the plate. I loved the pesto sauce; it was tangy and savory with the fries & mozzarella. We also ordered the veggie sandwich: really good and filling ! We split it among us and it was still enough read more

Breakfast, and sandwiches are off the charts. Pastries top notch, but not exactly a full bakery. But what they do bake is top tier. Get their pignoli cookies! read more

We came here for breakfast after going to the gym. I must say the place is very clean and has a comfy atmosphere along with a lot of delicious dishes on the menu.. Food was excellent, Service was a little slow with only 2 servers & It took a bit getting a 2nd cup of coffee & milk.. The place is extremely small and tight and the parking lot is almost impossible to get in out of so you might want to try parking in the Richmond County Savings Bank parking lot and walking read more

LOVE THIS PLACE!!! Always happy, fun, alive and so much to choose from! It was so delicious that I ate first then realized, I didn't take pictures lol. Will do that next time. read more

This is sandwich paradise if I ever knew one, so carb up! This is a sister spot to "Royal Crown Bakery" which is also located in Staten Island. If you know Royal Crown then you know this spot will not disappoint. This location also specializes in a HUGE menu for sandwiches, but just sandwiches. Best part is they make, in-house, their own rolls/bread. Wow, when you can make a ginormous tasty sandwich AND make your own bread that's a win for me. The bread is crispy and light on the outside and soft and doughy on the inside. How can you go wrong with this recipe. So anything you put inside is just going to be amazing, AND they do pack their sandwiches... with MEAT!!! It is fair to say you may have to take the other half home with you. I went with the Brooklyn cheese-stake. To start, they have several options for cheese-stakes, not just this one... if you have a fetish for a nice and tasty cheese-stake then you will be in heaven! Melty, gooey, almost buttery like consistency here... just oozing with flavor. NOTE: They share a parking lot so depending on the time of day you come here you may find a spot easily. read more

Filoncino is like family. The staff is friendly, and the food is always amazing. The coffee is delicious, and you can truly savor the moment, enjoying great conversation and pastries long after breakfast. Brunch with the aunties here is a delight--you're never rushed, and you're always treated with care. read more

Not a ton of parking in the lot. Thats fine as there is street parking across the street. The salmon avocado toast was light and had good flavor.

First impressions was the parking lot was extremely small and hard to park. We walked in to the restaurant and we thought it was really cute. We were seated promptly. We looked over the menu quite a few times since it's so big. We decided on an eggplant platter and eggplant sandwich with broccoli rabe. It came out rather quickly. It was fresh and good but extremely over-seasoned with salt herbs and oil. I also ordered a chicken, mozzarella and broccoli rabe to go! The girl brought it out right away! . The waitress Came over initially She was not enthusiastic or happy to be there! She barely came by to check in thru out our meal. She never cleaned our plates and so on. I asked to take home half my sandwich and she threw a container at me . The container didn't close properly and my sandwich ended up on the floor. We had dessert it took forever. We had to look for her for the check. The worst part of this we ate the take home sandwich later on and we all got sick! Like deathly ill. Idk if the chicken or mozzarella was bad but unfortunately I will not be going back there.. Ashame really! read more

We came here again! We really like this place but it definitely gets busy! Their food is fresh and delicious! The staff is really nice too! read more

FILONCINO! Ahhhh One of my absolute favorite places to eat on Staten Island. As a vegan it's hard to find accommodations and Filoncino has their own vegan menu with the most delicious food & desserts EVER!!! I can't even count how many times I've been here, whether for take out or dining in, and I am never disappointed. It's a cute little restaurant with friendly and welcoming staff. There has never been a time I come here and it's NOT busy. Food and desserts are always freshly made, and the most delicious lattes and teas; 10/10. If you live on Staten Island, vegan or non vegan PLEASE take a trip to Filoncino I promise you will not be disappointed!! read more

I cannot believe I went most of my life without knowing this place existed -- that's how good it is. I'm usually afraid to eat in bakery / sandwich places bc I have a nut allergy, but even though they were very busy and packed, the waitress was so accommodating. We tried the eggplant parmigiana and it was out of this world. Highly recommend. Great pasta too! Family friendly. Decent parking right in front. Pretty place that makes the most of the space. Although bustling the vibe was not at all stressful like some popular places can be, it was a lovely day out -- great atmosphere. Highly recommend. read more

Theeee besttt cappuccino! with cinnamon on top. Hands down! I am truly hooked by their cappuccino. Everytime I come in here for the cappuccino, I am literally counting my days when I am coming back for the next cuppa of cappuccino. One time I came here, I ordered two, it is just that good. Full of coffee flavor and right mixture of milk. (I couldn't sleep that night, unfortunately.) What I like about this place, the owners and the staff are very open minded with your dietary needs. (Vegetarian, Vegan, low carb, etc.) Just make sure to tell the staff what you want and how you want and they will get it done. If you are not happy with how they make your food, you can talk to them and they will fix it. They have vegan menu and vegan sweets! That is awesome. I am slowly becoming a vegetarian and I did try a few vegan dishes they have, I am happy with what I have experienced. They have a large menu and sometimes I just get a little overwhelmed, it is not a bad thing! I just want to try everything they have to offer but I have to stay with my dietary needs. I just love the idea that I can come here and be able to enjoy eating out and staying healthy. They make their own balsamic glaze and it is so good. Their pastries are fresh and I love their rainbow cookies! The staff is super friendly. Their parking lot is small and busy, I get nervous parking there. It is depends on the time of the day. You can park nearby and walk. Filoncino Cafe definitely has a more friendly and cozy atmosphere compare to Royal Crown Bakery. read more

Food is excellent & very fresh. Sandwiches are huge & big enough to share. Also ordered an iced cappuccino, everything was DELICIOUS!!Parking is not the greatest, but can't wait to go again. read more

Wait staff could be better. French fries came soggy and floppy not crispy. Sandwhiches are just ok, the italian bread is hard and definitely not fresh, mozzarella was dry definitely not fresh as well. The sweet vinegar peppers are very good however. Overall would not come back, Royal crown on hylan blvd is much better. read more

What can I say, top notch! I have eaten food from Filoncino's quite a few times. I have to commend them for their customer service as well. Last week I picked up an order to bring to the hospital after my granddaughter's birth and received a call that my order (in hand) was incorrect. Not only did they call me (I hadn't opened the bag yet) they also credited me for it! Amazing!!! Now for the food! Absolutely highly recommend! Always fresh. The eggplant is awesome and the bread, well you must try! Let me not forget to mention the balsamic glaze; I put that sh*t on everything! In addition, the cookies (pignoli's are delectable), pastry's and even the homemade chips are delightful. I can go on and on, but go see for yourselves! Enjoy! read more

So...where shall I start. I always buy the fresh made bread to take home. The hot sandwiches are out of this world and they have awesome baked deserts. The staff is always welcoming and they even help you with new recommendations when you can't decide. Every time I go here I smell and see deliciousness, imagine how it tastes. read more

Live right near royal crown on hylan and frequent it often. Thought I'd change it up a bit. The menu here (for breakfast) looks incredible. I should have stayed with the European breakfast choices. They look a bit different from the ordinary egg or pancake stuff My egg, potato and mozz cheese in an everything bagel was eh. Not too much taste. I don't know why but the bagels at royal crown are so much better. It's been a few hours but I still have indigestion from the coffee. Just not good and wasn't hot. Sticking to royal crown thank you! read more

Love it. Always fresh and on point. Coffee is delicious and service is great. Parking is sometimes a problem but we can deal with it

I went there one night, ordered chicken parm(2) with pasta, chicken cutlets(2) with fresh mozz, avocado and balsamic plus 3 rice balls. total $60. Go back next day and order chicken parm with pasta X2, grilled chicken plate, 2 rice balls. cost $100. get home, there is only one piece of chicken in each dish. I have to say, the food is good, but I can't understand how I get less food and it cost $40 more. suffice to stay, I cant bring myself to going back to this place and spending that kind of money for the inconsistency in prices. read more

Service- great service. Everyone loved the food but the bakery items not so much. Took home some rainbow cookies and put it next to the ones I purchased elsewhere. As you can see they definitely are missing the mark. read more

Filoncino - Rainbow cookie - the light one is how they should look. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Staten Island, New York

I wish I could give 4 1/2 stars because that's really what they deserve. I want to start off by saying they diddnt have the soft bread nor the seared eggplant that I ordered . Fine . Now I want to explain the level of quality they produce. They don't just slap shit on a sandwich all willy-nilly, it's arranged where the proportions are correct. we all have gotten a sandwich with a full pound of thick cut ham yuck. The quality of their stuff is very good and it's also always fresh, as well as their bread which is always delicious never stale. I seen some people complain that $15 for a sandwich is too much but go to the sandwich king in Queens or the Sunset deli in Brooklyn and you will not pay less. I need sandwiches on a different level in those places. I have eaten here three times in the last month and I can honestly say that they are very consistent and what they deliver which is quality. If you think about it $30 for two sandwiches or $40 for two with rice balls is a cheaper dinner then you'll get anywhere for the quality of what you get. This is my new standard for sandwiches. Oh and by the way Subway sandwiches are 1250+ tax which is good for the dog read more

Some time ago I visited Filoncino Cafe on Amboy road (the one with the terrible parking lot) and, let me tell you, the staff was absolutely fantastic! Every member of the team that I encountered was friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely seemed to enjoy being helpful. They went above and beyond--offering a great drink recommendation and even customizing my drink with a smile. You can really tell they care about their customers, which is such a refreshing change from the usual cafe experience I am used to. I got a Honey Oat Latte w Caramel drizzle btw! However, I can't help but feel disappointed by the owner. It's clear that they're not on the same wavelength as their hardworking team. During my visit, I witnessed, what looked to me like a boy in a mans body, shouting and being rude/dismissive to staff in front of customers. It's disheartening to see such talented and dedicated workers treated poorly. A little appreciation can go a long way! Overall, I highly recommend Filoncino for the incredible staff, but I really hope the owner recognizes the value of treating their team with respect. If they can do that, this place could be unbeatable! read more

I have been to the new Filoncino multiple times a week since their opening. The food is excellent with a very friendly staff including the owners who are very visible and seeing to the needs of their customers. The place is very eclectic, exceptionally clean with a pleasant vibe. The deserts are scrimp. Enzo, Victor, Frank, Joe, are always eager to serve in multiple capacities. By all means make this place a part of your weekly gathering. The breakfasts are outrageous as well as their lunch/dinner various options. Sincerely, Antoinette read more

My friend told me abt the amazing sandwiches from this place so when i noticed it was right next door to my nail salon, i had to check it out!!!! Their sandwich menu is extensive! So much to choose from! They also served other dishes and desserts!!! Ordered a proscuitto mozz and basil sandwich with french fries andddd tiramisu to go. Shared with my son and we loveddddd it !!!! The sandwich was so fresh!!! Fries were jus the right texture ! I was not a big fan of the tiramisu but I'd definitely go back to try other desserts! This might jus be my regular lunch spot after my nail appointment every month! Staff were very welcoming and nice! Lots of seatings and restaurant appeared very clean ! Definitely good place to dine! Parking lot located outside, kind of small tho! read more

I am a creature of habit and love coming here to Filoncino. I guess I am a regular. This is the sister spot to their famous Royal Crown Bakery on Hylan Blvd. so you know this restaurant is also good.

I love their lavender latte, large, either hot or cold depending on my mood. read more
