Chickpea salad
Zalika D.

Decided to make a little side quest when I passed by this place, I was intrigued my the name and wanted to see what they had going on. I'm so glad that I did. Was immediately greeted when walking in by, I find out later, Chef Guerrieri. Checked out the menu to see the options and landed on the S'wich Pizza Espinosa and the chickpea salad. For the Espinosa, subbed the prosciutto for chicken. When both ordered landed on my plate the explosion of flavor, good crunch and a healthy amount made this foodie very happy. The bread is all fresh and everything is made to order. SMARTWICH is small and intimate and of you look on the walls it tells the story of Chef Guerrieri. Please come and check this place out, I will be back.

Went out on a whim and stopped at this sandwich shop because the name intrigued me. So glad I did stop in because the food was amazing! I had a flatbread pizza and it was so good and I can tell it was made with all fresh ingredients. The chickpea salad was very refreshing as well! I love how the walls inside told the story of the head chef and his journey from Napoli to New York to Lisbon back to New York, the story was told through a beautiful mural. Chef Guerrieri was phenomenal with his customer service! Overall a really great experience I will definitely be back

Bay Leaf Tea--lowers blood pressure and blood sugar
Gail B.

I had to give this place another try, and I am glad that I did. I ordered the sardine (fresh) sandwich, and it was phenomenal. The homemade Portuguese bread had a crispy exterior and a soft and warm interior. The sandwich itself was an explosion of flavors that I love: salty, briny and fresh, and the portion was huge. The condiments were very good and well balanced. I will come again soon to try another one of the Chef's sandwich creations. The Cold (but without ice) Bay Leaf Tea was an instant favorite of mine. The Chef was in the store and recommended it because it has many health benefits, including regulating blood sugar levels and reducing cholesterol and blood pressure. The sandwich came out in five minutes. The Chef was there, and he was very kind to me, engaging in friendly conversation. I can't recommend this place highly enough.

Sausage
Gordon Y.

Cuisine: 8 Service: 10 Decor: 7 Value: 9 Overall: 9 If you remember the small chain of Smartwich Sandwich Shops that once occupied Manhattan, and you miss what they served because they all disappeared during the pandemic, then look no further. Chef Michael Guerrieri is back with a bang! Only this time, it's in Hicksville, Long Island. Luckily, I had the pleasure of dining here twice in the last week and tried a handful of his offerings. Let's just say that you will likely not be disappointed with whatever you order, but read on for my favorites. First of all, I have to mention the amazing bread, which is always the most important part of any good sandwich. Chef Michael scoops out some of the middle, and then toasted them perfectly. Slightly crunchy crust, while fluffy and airy on the inside. Just right. Now onto what's between the bread. SQUASH BLOSSOM (8/10) - The overall flavors of the sandwich were great, but I do wish that the fried squash blossom was crispier. The bacon bits adds a nice smoky and savory note to the otherwise vegetarian dish. SARDINES (8/10) - Imported directly from Portugal and pickled in house, these sardines are delicious, especially paired with pickled onions and pickled tomatoes. The touch of aromatic olive oil completes the package. SAUSAGE (10/10) - Wowza! This sandwich was magnificent! The sausage crumble was soooooo flavorful. Slight bitterness of kale somehow matched amazingly. However, please ask for Calabrian chili oil. Add some to each bite and it will be taken to the next level. I will be back for this bite for sure. OMELETTE (7/10) - I enjoyed this sandwich, but it was relatively light in flavor. The vinaigrette was not noticeable and I would have liked more. When I added a little rosemary olive oil to the mix, the taste was elevated. ROAST BEEF (6/10) - This was one of their most popular sandwiches. However, I was not a big fan. The deli meat was tender, but felt too heavily processed. Also, the sweetness of the relish turned me off completely. OCTOPUS (8/10) - I know it's expensive, but I need to feel more of that tenderly cooked octopus in each bite. The vinegary salad paired well. Hard to complain, but next time, I'll ask for double meat. Lol TUNA (6/10) - This was not bad, but so much large chunks of celery. It felt more like tuna was the co-star highlighting the veggie sandwich. Obviously, with all the celery, there was a nice crunch to the texture, but I would have preference more tuna. PASTEL DE NATA (10/10) - I had my fair share of these delicious little tarts from different parts of the world. These were as good as any I have tasted. Creamy custard with a flaky crust. What's not to love? Chef Michael is one of the most friendliest owners I have ever met. He is proud of his country (Portugal), his products, and wants to share it with everyone. We had a wonderful time listening to his stories and enjoyed our visits very much. He told me that there are plans to open up more towards the west. I'm begged him to open in Forest Hills, or at least Queens. I need that sausage sandwich in my life.

Turkey
Nikki C.

Stopped by on a random Saturday afternoon to try this hidden gem out. We got the turkey sandwich (we originally wanted the chicken put the pastrami paste has pork in it) and it was delish! I really enjoyed the bread, it was super fresh & the veggies paired with the turkey complimented each other so well. The sandwich itself is pretty large, you can probably split it with someone else. I guess just one minus star because the guy making our sandwich didn't change gloves; he had a wet towel and wringed it out and then touched the bread/made the sandwich. Slight change of cross contamination with chemicals here, it didn't bother me but it might bother other customers. Other than that he was quite friendly & accommodating as it was our first time there. Cant wait to come back and try the octopus sandwich.

Went in Syosett down Jackson Avenue to Newly opened Smartwich. It is close to the train station heading North on the left side of the street is a green building right next to the Station Cafe. There is parking the side. Chef Michael's newest location. The Grand opening sign up from above a month ago along with the customized wall images of his story and exuberant video of him on the screen add a wonderful touch to what he and this restaurant is all about. (See pix) I was warmly welcomed by Zion , who took my order, made suggestions from the menu and shared stories with me. I also met another pleasant men who came out from the back kitchen. The place is spotlessly clean and there is a comfy feeling there. The Roastbeef Smartwich was fresh and delicious as were the blueberry shake and the dessert. We missed Chef Michael at this visit but will be sure to be regulars here on. A must go check it out for all of you.

Fresh turkey sandwich on Portuguese bread. Perfection!
Christine M.

Food is fresh and delicious, chef is extremely hospitable and proud of his creations, pricing is fair and reasonable. This will become a regular stop for me, and I don't live around the corner. My sandwich eating husband proclaimed it was one of the best sandwiches he has ever had. Can't recommend enough! In Francesco's Bakery in Hicksville.

Smartwich

This smart sandwich shop has the best with fresh ingredients on Portuguese bread. Chef creates seasonal specials as well. It's casual take out or eat in but definitely worth the trip. Today it was Italian burrata, w arugula,tomato, procuitto and a honey jalapeño drizzle.

Mongo's Coffee - Pastry case

Mongo's has a special place in my brain, is open 7 days a week, & I have to go there at least a few…read moretimes a month. I always go for one of the ever changing homemade syrups in some formation of a hot espresso drink. There is something about their tuna salad with carrots & peas that is addictive. The bread they use for their toast??? AMAZING. Not to be overlooked, the pastry case. Their chocolate croissant, is unlike any other I have had. Service is lovely. Staff is patient, kind, accommodating. Plenty of tables, couple of couches, lots of people doing work on their laptops. Mongo's is located on the side of the building so you will not see it from the street.

Adorable, trendy spot in the middle of nowhere, aka Syosset. Industrial-style decor. Big space with…read morelots of different tables and seats from couches, to community tables, to high stools. You would THINK you are in the city. Very busy even on a weekday. Very nice workers. The customers are mostly young professional all working on their laptops and drinking their fancy coffees and lattes. There's definitely some sort of an uppity vibe here. Many different options for drinks and a decent amount of pastries and small bites to choose from. I ordered the iced matcha latte and the fancy tuna. To be honest I thought the food and drink were just okay. Matcha latte could probably use some syrup. And the fancy tuna was just that... canned tuna smothered with cheese on top over a thick piece of grained toast - I thought the random green peas were an odd touch. Love the little arugula side salad though because you can never go wrong with arugula. While I think the food and drink was worthy of three stars, the uniqueness of this establishment in Long Island definitely brings it up to four stars. There are plenty of parking which is always a big plus. It's a type of place I may come back to with a friend to have a drink and chit chat... that being said finding two seats together can be somewhat challenging during peak times as most people come here and appear to stay for a prolonged period of time.
