One of the fun things about moving to a new neighborhood is that you get to go on a food rampage and try out all the restaurants around you. I was looking around Yelp for a legitimate sandwich spot in the area, and Sergimmo Salumeria popped up. This place had some pretty solid reviews, so I figured I might as well check this place out.
Sergimmo Salumeria is a straight up Italian spot. If you're looking for something like Subway, then you might as well go to the corner deli instead. Prices here aren't cheap either. A sandwich will run you anywhere from $12-15, depending on the sandwich that you get. The spot itself is pretty small, but does have enough seating since most people either get it delivered or to go.
The first time I came here, I went with the Massimo il Grande. For $10.50, my sandwich was loaded with grilled chicken, mozzarella, sun dried tomatoes, and Arcadian mix. To top it off, all their sandwiches are sprinkled with balsamic vinegar and olive oil. This sandwich, I must say, was pretty damn good. The chicken did not taste like it just came out of a plastic bag, and everything tasted incredibly fresh. For lunch, this is a perfect portion. Juicy chicken, fresh veggies, and flavorful spices. What more can you ask for?
Well, if you want something a little more unique, order the Il VIP. This is a little more expensive, at $14, but this is their specialty sandwich. Inside, you'll find: Prosciutto Di Parma, mozzarella, Arcadian mix, EV olive oil and fig spread. Pretty unique mix for a sandwich, and yes, it does taste amazing. If you're looking for a sweeter sandwich, then definitely go with this, because the fig spread gives it that kick. If you're looking for something a little more savory, or with more substance, then I'd recommend going with a sandwich with more meat, or even their regular pasta entrees.
Say you want to make your own sandwich at home. Well, at Sergimmo Salumeria, you can buy meat by the pound, and even bread. The best part? The also have home made mozzarella. This place fires on all cylinders. The sandwiches are solid, the meats and cheese that they sell taste amazing, and all of that justifies the price that they charge. Lunch on a budget? Go somewhere else. Otherwise, this place is an amazing choice for...
Read moreIf you ask me, I would say this is one of the best Italian sandwich restaurant there is in NYC, literally! The moment you step foot through those doors, you automatically feel like you are transported to Italy, but in midtown. The place may be a bit tight and packed, but I can assure you that their sandwiches are way better than supreme, it's beyond supreme! To order is quite simple: look through their GIANT chalked-wall menu, head to one of the counters to place your order, pay from the other counter, step aside and wait until your name is called, pick up and enjoy! I ordered the Di Franchesca (#24), which consists of fried chicken cutlet, mozz, sweet peppers, artichokes, EVOO on their signature bread, and crema di balsamic. There is no doubt that I downed it all, but it's just that good even though it might seem like it can be a two person meal. You can taste the freshness of each layer and best of all, most of the ingredients are made in house, or imported directly from Italy. You are not limited to only sandwiches since they serve other Italian dishes, but to go for the full experience, you might as well get the sandwiches instead! Definitely heading back there even if the wait...
Read moreIncredible sandwiches await you at this charming Italian deli-style restaurant. Despite its small size, the establishment offers cozy indoor seating that exudes a warm and inviting atmosphere. The staff is incredibly friendly, and the extensive menu boasts a multitude of excellent options, making it one of our preferred destinations for sandwiches.
During our visits, we have had the pleasure of trying various items, but one standout favorite is the renowned Le "vip" sandwich, which consistently garners popularity. I, on the other hand, have been more adventurous, venturing into their pasta dishes and savoring the flavors of their grilled chicken panini. Every dish is crafted using fresh ingredients, and although their pasta is delectable, it is the sandwiches that truly captivate us, beckoning us to return.
The bread, in particular, is exceptional—soft and perfectly fresh, seemingly baked in-house daily. The ambiance of the place is calm and relaxed, offering respite just a stone's throw away from MSG and Times Square. If you find yourself in the vicinity and craving Italian sandwiches that are satisfying without feeling overly heavy, do yourself a favor and...
