This is a gourmet shop associated with Mr. Vino around the corner. The prices are somewhat high due to the neighborhood, but the service is relatively friendly. I like their sandwiches, but the bread is where it needs a huge upgrade. My most recent purchase was the Bon Jour, which had delicious thinly sliced ham, brie cheese, artichoke, and dijon mustard. However, for a sandwich named after the French, the bread is not befitting. If they can fix that problem, their rating would easily be 4 stars. read more

I wanted to place an order here for the longest time after trying a catered sandwich at a birthday party, which was incredible. Entering the store, which is a long and a narrow yet fairly sun-lit location, the two employees seem flabbergasted. We placed an order online and I'm not sure if it's because it's the beginning of lunch time but they seemed disorganized. Then we finally got our sandwich and I said we'll eat right at the few spots by the window. Incredibly convenient. Asked if they could cut it in half since we wanted to try it fresh on the spot. One guy was friendly, the other was lukewarm. I had to explain, it's our first time ordering so will understand to clarify instructions in the online order to have it cut in half in the future. Besides the customer interaction, the sandwich is pretty good. Great crunch in the bread, ingredients are just enough (not like Stacked but good enough to fill you up). It's certainly a great option for sandwiches with fresh ingredients. Probably better to order online than in person as they can be busy just making sandwiches and not be able to tend to in-person interactions as quickly. read more

My wife and I decided to stop inside Mr vino. She ordered a tuna wrap ,the tuna was very bland didn't have any taste or flavor to it .she thought maybe they would put some seasoning on there since we seen all the seasoning on the counter. Maybe next time we will ask them to put some seasoning on the tuna wrap. read more

This place has changed sandwiches for me. I used to think *ingredients* when I thought of sandwiches, but this place makes me think *flavor.* The Give Me Water Please Sandwich, ladies and gentleman. I actually felt like I needed some water, and while my spice tolerance isn't the best out there, I eat spicy foods regularly. While there aren't a lot of toppings in this, my bites were the perfect size. The cucina was clean with a variety of jams and aiolis for cooking. The service was absolutely amazing, and the staff was really friendly. My boyfriend loves talking about food, and the staff made helpful recommendations to suit his tastes. I'm definitely thinking about getting an aioli or jam for myself next time! read more

I've walked by this place a ton and finally tried one of their sandwiches. It's uber mom and pop seeming, which is lovely. The service is pleasant. The menu is what you might expect from an Italian sandwich shop. The goods they sold aren't the most interesting as I feel like you could probably find most of them at Whole Foods, but it fits the vibe nicely. The sandwich was tasty, nicely made. Ultimately worth the try if you're in the mood for a solidly made meat and cheese sandwich. read more

I love this little sandwich shop! I've walked by many times and finally decided to walk in and get a small Italian sandwich and salad since there's no Panera around forest hills. The owner was there and he is so pleasant! This seems to be a neighborhood staple and I'm so glad I've finally tried! They have many different options and I hope to try more. The sandwich salad/soup combo is a great deal! read more

This review on food via delivery. Multitude of sandwiches, wraps-such as the "Boardwalk" (Italian sausage, marinara, peppers), "Caprese"sandwich, wonderful very filling, various standard house named specialty hero type Italian sandwiches. Often too much and I like to get a pick yourself "Piccolo" the 4" and choose honey turkey, Swiss, add artichoke, sweet and dill pickles, tomato,lettuce, mayo, oil and vinegar, splurge 1$ extra for garlic bread if desire. Regular fine-I want garlic. Also sizes medio 7.5" and full, basically 2-3 meals for me. The Veggie, a fave not to be confused with The Vegan. Soups, some phenomenal. In fact, held back my review. Selfish, but once word gets out about their Italian wedding soup, they will always be out of it. Sooo so good-the meatballs!Doc put me on food lockdown so thought I'd relent and spread news, since on hold for a short time. All soups good, but the Lentil soup special as they add persimmon so delicious-never had that way before. Usual sides: macaroni, potato salad, coleslaw. Salads -not to be missed; Caprese salad mozzarella fresh thick tomato slices,basalmic glaze, my fave but also the Greek very good with Kalamato olives, cukes, tomato wedges; all Fresh and crisp. If vegan, no excuses here. Recent add New Mexican, Tex type wraps to Italian, other. Menu with updated new additions to try all the time. read more

This place does custom sandwiches, and they are amazing. Quick, friendly service and great sandwiches at a great value. We will be back!

Ordered two sandwiches from Mr. Vino for takeout. The experience was okay--everything was packaged well and ready on time. The sandwiches were decent, though nothing particularly stood out. Not bad overall, but there's room for improvement read more

Great sandwiches, very fresh with high quality ingredients. This is going to be a go- to spot- so lucky we are local and only a couple blocks away. Delicious- need to try this place if you have not. So many options. read more

I stopped by to grab a sandwich. The shop wasn't very busy, but it looked like the staff was preparing a bunch of to-go orders. They had lots of options at the deli counter and everything looked delicious. I ordered a tuna wrap, which was pretty much tuna and veggies, but I requested it without cheese. I was pretty surprised to see that the sandwich was $12. It would have been nice if it came with chips or some other small side. Honestly, I'd prefer to grab a more substantial meal elsewhere for that price. The sandwich itself was solid, but nothing particularly memorable. If you're looking for something convenient and high-quality, this is a good option. However, I'd prefer Chipotle or another fast-casual restaurant for something more filling and flavorful. read more

This rating is for a delivery order. Sandwiches are great and tasty a little bit pricey but still very good.

Wonderful sandiwch shop on the block. Good service and my go to here are the pressed panini sandwiches. Anything with the plum jam is great. Juicy tasty rubens and a nice proscuitto and cap pressed toasty sandwich. Really feels like a shop from Spain to full your sandwich needs. Will be back. read more

I love their sandwiche, good cold cuts and cheese. Very nice people know them though years

I've been getting soups from here for months. Of note is the minestrone, Italian wedding and chicken noodle. My all time favorite is the butternut squash soup. It's so good and made without milk or cream. Definitely warms the body on a cold winter night. read more

We ordered two sandwiches over the phone - one had pesto and we asked for that to be removed due to allergy. Store said they didn't receive instructions and called us liars and retracted both sandwiches from purchase. I would've paid for at least one sandwich but wasn't offered option. Odd way of doing business. If you want to customize, make sure there's a way to confirm. read more

Be careful at the register. Few times I've gone there, they "accidentally" charged more than the actual price. Maybe they thought I was too nice and tried to take advantage. read more

I gave the place 4 to 5 tries and ordering different sandwiches. Mediocre sandwiches with Bella being the most satisfying. What's worst is the terrible wait time. Every time it's around a 20 minute wait when it's not even busy. I even come ahead with one other customer in the store, place my order and come back 15 mins later and it's still not started. When you have limited time during lunch break, i can't spend that much time waiting. read more

My new go to place for fresh Italian cold cut sandwiches! Aside from their large collection of quality meats, cheeses, and condiments, and their sandwiches are made on the spot. The bread is always fresh and the portions are pretty big. I usually get the Bella which has prosciutto, fresh mozzarella and roasted red peppers in it, but they have a large variety of sandwiches for you to choose from. I also like to buy their olives by the pound! read more

Another need met in the Forest Hills food scene, met since 2012 that is -- where have I been? Proscutto hanging from the rafters just makes me happy, as do a plethora of perky olives and how they bring color to their display case. Stonewall Kitchen took up far more of the shelf space than I could have guesses as this is a high end eatery and shopping location. Among the prepared foods were the usual suspects of chicken cutlets to quinoa salad and most everything in between. The cheese case to the far end was absolutely spetacular as to milk types, geographic origin, well displayed and quite the variety. I'm so interested on a quick price comparison with Cheeses of the World a half a block east. Directly behind the cheese reach in cooler sits the beverage cooler that sell beers, the likes of which I have never seen nor read about. The prices are going to be more than one would come to expect, but clearly, these too, as with the entire store -- is not something you see everyday. read more

Not all cheese shops are made equal, as Mr Vino's Cucina's proves. Some are far superior, not just in what they offer, but also by the knowledge and service of the staff. Sure, there are places that have a larger assortment. But, that doesn't mean their selection is better. Most of the time, these places have a lot of over priced, second rate options, for people who grab and go. Mr. Vino's understands its clientele, and offers top quality cheese, with a diverse range of first class cheeses. And, I can always be certain that when we go, there will be something new that they'll suggest, 98% of the time, it's right on the money. Last week we got an amazing, creamy Brie with truffles. Well, my husband did. But, um, I kind of ate most of it before he had a chance. Lol. We're really big right now on blue cheese and Gorgonzola. And, anything with truffles. Jayson love truffles. It's the kind of place, where you walk in, and whether it's Robert, Martha or Eric, they always remember you. And, whether you're a first time customer or a regular, they clearly love what they do, and do it well. There's no going wrong her. And the prices are always reasonable for what you're getting. read more

4 stars first visit a few weeks ago. Really tasty sandwiches. We tried 2, the Mr. Vino Italian and Ole Ole. Both were quite delicious but we both preferred the Italian since we haven't eaten a good deli sandwich in ages. It had a generous amount of meat. Sliced thin, the meats were fresh but best if eaten the same day. Bread was soft and chewy. Ole Ole is served hot with the melted cheese and it's a lil sweet from the fig spread; I loved the chorizo. I don't eat cold cuts often since they're high in sodium but it was a nice treat. They're not huge sandwiches, so not cheap but better quality than the usual deli stuff. Update: 2nd visit: 3.5 stars - I got the Mr. Vino Italian again for L and he told me it didn't taste the same, so I tried 2 bites. I don't think they added any soppressata which adds a lot of flavor and heat. It definitely looked like there was less meat than before. Ham and cheese on a hero I can pretty much get anywhere else. Bread didn't have that nice chewy texture. The people working there weren't the same as last time. So it really depends on who's making your sandwich that day. There were barely any roasted peppers. Just a plain, somewhat bland hero for $10.99. Bella was much better, it had more roasted peppers and nothing was missing. So L ate my sandwich since mine was better, he also ate the other one as well since I didn't want it. I had a few bites. The meat wasn't as fresh as my first visit. read more

This is a high end deli and they have a lot of interesting and imported sauces and spreads. The counter guy is always very friendly and helpful. It's a specialty shop so the prices do tend to be above average, but it is worth the extra cost, it's not more than what you'd pay at Whole Foods. The deli meats are fresh and the sandwiches and soups are prepared well. It's been here for many years now and is a great addition to Forest Hills. read more

Cute place, steps from the subway. I picked up a baguette, fresh salami and flat bread. Service was warm and friendly. The shelves are stocked with jellies and jams, there is fresh cheese and so much more. Very clean. Everything looked super fresh. I'll be back to have a look around. read more

Wow. I came here prior for what I felt was a stellar pastrami sandwich on a whole wheat hero, excellent in every way. It's quite another matter, however, when the sandwich the guy advertises as having breaded chicken cutlet "The Spanican" is actually imitation chicken cutlet. Assuming that people would not notice the difference is undermining the intelligence and "food sense" of your customers, who expect to come here for a gourmet food shop experience, not at ALL for an owner who cuts corners for whatever reason, then still charges an arm and a leg for a mediocre-at-best menu item. Shame on your shop for this, get some authentic chicken cutlets in your sandwiches, then we can cross paths again. read more

Ingredients taste fresh but the filling of the sandwich was super stingy. Super thin cuts of mozzarella and Prosciutto. I didn't even feel that full after finishing the whole sandwich. $12. read more

Was surprised with a lovely treat from Mr. Vino's today for a very special anniversary. Dark chocolate covered raisins -- a nice way to celebrate the day. As the dish was passed around someone asked "Oh! Delicious! Where did you go for this?" And the answer? "Nick's place, Mr. Vino's." So nice to have an affordable place with an amazing selection of novelty cheeses and treats in the neighborhood! The team is great as well. Highly recommending. read more

Love the sandwiches and vibes of this gem. The staff are really friendly. They also have tons of yummy charcuterie from Europe.

The owner is a total gentleman whose dignity and elegance is only surpassed by his knowledge of food products. They already know I go there from time to time to get select Jamon Serrano and know exactly how I want it cut and what I look for when purchasing. Unlike other self-proclaimed gourmet stores that strive to impress, you do not feel pressured or judged here. My sincere gratitude. Always. read more

Came here for lunch on a weekday : You might miss the entrance unless you see their chalkboard outside of their door on the sidewalk. Would've prolly never have stepped in had it not been due to my friends reccomendation. I ordered the Gimme Water with no bacon on whole wheat bread after asking what were their popular choices. Paired it with creme soda. You can aslo make your own sandwiches! All the ingredients are in front of you and also on the shelves to purchase. Place looked clean and colorful. Staff were nice and helpful. Unfortunately when i had gotten back to work and opened my sandwhich, i realized they had made everything on a regular hero. Decided to bite the bullet (sandwhich in this case) and take a chance. To my disappointment the bread was too crunchy and tough, the fillings kept sliding out and it was difficult to enjoy it. The bill came out to 10.86 - Nonetheless i was satisfied with the taste and would reccomend to try, especially due to the limited choices we have here on Austin st, forest hills. read more

Artisan cheeses, gourmet chocolates, fresh pasta, imported jams, olives, imported crackers from Euro, dried fruit, and craft beers. Select samples are available at times. Items make good gifts to the avid foodie. In stating the obvious, like any artisan or gourmet or specialty markets Mr. Vino's prices are one and the same -- excessively overpriced. Space is small and there is no tables or seats as it is designed for takeout only. Staff is courteous to responding inquiries, but not prompt at first sight but by selection. Around the corner is Mr. Vino wine and liquor which bears the same name, Mr. Vino, don't know if the two have any correlation. Customer service at Mr. Vino's Cucina bears much more substance with professionalism and friendly towards patrons unlike it's corner neighbor Mr. Vino wine. read more

Mr. Vino's Cucina is one of those small speciality foodie store that I wish I have in my neighbourhood. Here you can pick up cheese, cured meat, condiments and beers. For a small store this size, I was pleasantly surprised by the beers they carried both local and import selection of different beer styles. Since I was staying in Forest Hill while visiting, it was convenient for some last minute purchase for some drinking and snacking at "home". read more

I came here this evening to purchase cheese for the first time. I came in here a couple of months ago just to take a peak. Both times the staff were really friendly. They had a decent selection of cheese. I also love the variety of dressings and olive oil they have. This is a good place to have in the neighborhood. I enjoy supporting small business'. Not to mention, the prices are reasonable for such great quality cheese. When I came in today to purchase some cheese for a road trip, everyone was extremely accommodating, and took the time to chat with me about artisan beers, and cheese. I was even offered a sample with a lovely piece of cheese on top. It happened to be the crackers that I was thinking of purchasing. Thank you! :) read more

I absolutely love the cheese selection in this store. Lots of different types and very knowledgeable crew to help.

Definitely check this place out. I go in weekly to pick up new cheese! read more
