Montalbano's — Restaurant in New York

This place is actually the best sandwich shop in NYC. We just went to Defantes because everyone always says that place is amazing, but it is just not anywhere as good as Monteblano's. "The Paperboy" is my favorite. They make everything on site, fresh (still warm sometimes) mozz, mounds of thinly cut prosciutto you can see through, amazing broccoli rab, sun-dried tomatoes, roasted peppers etc. It's the best. Bread is fresh and delicious. They also sell meat, other ready made food items, Italian specialty products (cheese, pasta, sweets). No one makes a better sandwich anywhere. Seriously.

Definitely the only place that my family & friends...

They work very hard and it shows. Father Cosmo, who hails from Calabria (like my gram, who owned an Italian bar in the West Roxbury section of Boston) and his handsome son, Vinny, have a loyal clientele. I consider myself to have been very lucky to have been among them. Hats off to them and their team, among them Jay.
