Delicious sandwiches. Service was great. I would definitely come again. I would recommend this sandwich shop for a nice lunch.

Came here with my coworkers on a Friday to grab lunch and beat the lunch rush. There's usually a line out the door. There was an overwhelming list of sandwich options, and everything (bread, meats, etc.) looked fresh and of high quality. The sandwiches are really large, so I opted for a 1/2 sandwich (still about half a foot) and soup combo, which was $13. Today's soup was chicken & orzo, which was tasty. For my sandwich, I got the Alidoro hot, which includes prosciutto, hot peppers, sweet peppers, mushroom paste, fennel, hot spread, arugula. It had a good kick. Sure this is a little expensive for sandwiches, but they slice the deli meats fresh when they receive the order! Definitely will come here again! read more

I've never had a better sandwich. Honestly, I don't remember what I personally ordered but it was the one with the Eggplant. Delicious. I also tried a couple bites from my friends' sandwiches and those were also very fresh and tasty. Bread: I got my sandwich with the baguette style bread (on the far right of the menu) and it wasn't my favorite (because I would've liked a softer bread) but that was my fault bc I should know better by now. Make sure to get the Hot Pepper Spread!! read more

Very good Italian sandwiches here. Can't really go wrong with the Alidoro sandwich. Generous amount of prosciutto which tasted amazing and roasted red peppers but had way too much dressing on top of what I was eating which overpowered the prosciutto and made it quite spicy. Maybe I have poor tolerance to spice but this just took away from the sandwiches taste. Haven't tried any other ones but this place is still very good and has a solid reputation. Came here once before and the line was so long it stretched outside and waited 30 minutes. Definitely look inside before you commit to this place because it does tend to be very crowded. read more

Great sandwiches, often crazy midtown lines. I get overwhelmed by all the menu options and usually end up ordering weirdly and regretting. Got the Valentino today (smoked mozzarella, artichokes, sweet roasted peppers, arugula) with all my favorite vegetable things- but it somehow missed the mark. Probably because they didn't add the baby onions I paid extra for, so that stung. But it would all have benefitted greatly from some olive oil, balsamic & S&P. I think they were just sloppy cuz it was prime button-up-lunchtime. Next time I'll come around 2. read more

Amazing sandwiches, great fresh ingredients and bread that's out of this world. I had their signature sandwich The Alidoro and it had just the right amount of spice. read more

Alidoro serves incredible freshly made sandwiches right near Bryant Park, making it the perfect lunch spot! A great variety on their menu and we loved both of our speciality sandwiches, the Mona Lisa (fresh mozzarella , artichokes, sweet peppers) and the Sinatra (smoked mozzarella, artichokes, sun dried tomatoes) that were on toasted on fresh focaccia. You can tell they care about quality ingredients because of how great everything tastes. We will definitely be back to try more of the menu! read more

While little expensive it is the very best authentic Italian deli in manhattan. Huge variety of quality breads and excellent array of meats, cheeses and peppers. It would get five stars if it was a little cheaper. read more

HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE! Especially the employee Emily. - Girl, you sound like you are MISERABLE. you ok? My company ordered a group lunch from here that came THREE HOURS late AND they messed up FOUR ORDERS and FORGOT ONE! We ordered a day in advance since we've always had trouble with them delivering on time and they still came late. On another occasion when they were running behind I spoke with Emily who hung up on my after I asked why I was misinformed that our order was already on the way in a previous phone conversation. Today, one of our assistants spoke with Emily and was put on hold and then hung up on again! They don't allow for group order pick-up but I hear that takes just as long from other customers. Emily, I hope you have time this holiday weekend to rethink your work situation and decide if it's the best place for your mental health right now. Damn, girl. read more

Loved the sandwich, perfect for lunch,it was slightly expensive for a lunch but that's ok since the quality n quantity were good for me.

Delicious sandwiches with quality ingredients. Sadly my GI doc said I have to be gluten-free. Whomp whomp.

Great food but the disorganized and tardy service ruins the experience. As you stand in line with ~30 other people, it is maddening to watch sandwiches pile up and sit there for long periods of time. A restaurant with this level of demand has no excuse to not have a person dedicated solely to getting sandwiches out of the store while they're still hot. Simply unreasonable to expect a 30 minute wait for a sandwich after ordering. read more

It looks and feels like a place that serves great food, but the sandwich (porchetta) was very lack luster. Very dry meat, and overall just wasn't a great sandwich. Especially at the $15 a sandwich price point. I'll pass. read more

ALIDORO - Sandwiches Near Me - New York, New York

Sandwiches are 5 star but pricey. I guess that's the norm for midtown but there are a few spots nearby that are on par but not as expensive. read more

Definitely one of the best lunch spots in Midtown East, or all of Midtown for that matter. For all lovers of spicy foods, the ENZO is one of the best sandwiches you will get. The Porchetta is my favorite of the cold sandwiches. Have had multiple sandwiches here, those are by far my two favorites.Place is a bit expensive, but its Midtown east, and you're not going to do any better taste wise in the neighborhood. read more

A true gem in barren midtown south. A solid albeit somewhat pricey sandwich spot famous with the midtown lunch crowd. They have authentic italian sandwiches (and also some salads and pastries) with various meat, cheese, bread, veggie, and spread options. There are several combinations that the restaurant suggests but you can also make your own. TIP: Always get your sandwich made hot and add the hot spread! My favorites are the Fellini (hot) and the Sofia (hot + with hot spread). Yes the sandwiches will run you ~$15 here but usually the portions are big enough that I can eat half for lunch and save the other half for dinner or an afternoon snack. The ordering line moves pretty quickly but the attention to detail on the cook line is real, so the sandwiches take a while to make once you've ordered. Would not come here in a rush or during Friday peak lunch hour unless you want to wait 30+ minutes. Otherwise more than worth it! The interior is cute, with bar-type seating watching the sandwiches being made - I think you can even order a glass of wine! And there are some tables in the back if you'd like to eat-in, although most people order to go. Love this place! read more

Try the compango salad! It is life changing! Super yummy, usually a little bit of a wait during lunchtime but honestly so worth it!

Such a great lunch spot! Simple, Italian classics served on a huge hero; who can ask for better. I ordered the Alyssa $12.50 (smoked chicken breast, fresh mozzarella, arugula, balsamic dressing). I will be back to try a few more sandwiches off their menu soon! read more

The freshest ingredients are used to make the sandwiches at Alidoro. The rush at lunchtime is a little intense and they rush a little, but the food here is fantastic. It's a weeeeee bit expensive, but overall, I recommend. read more

I had the Alidoro sandwich on seeded semolina. I got it hot as well. It was one of the best I've had. Amazing all around, and very fresh and well done. Would highly suggest visiting. read more

I was initially a very dissatisfied customer. Alidoro came highly recommended so I and a new client were looking forward to our orders arrival, but ... it never came. Or at least not in the timely manner i expected. I called Alidoro to voice my anger and disappointment , but to my delight, i was greeted by the General manager Brielle. She took complete ownership of my problem and concerns and executed a level of customer service that i have rarely encountered. She (and the delicious menu) have made me a Loyal Customer!! read more

Amazing sandwiches! Instagram upperfeast. I had the Pinocchio and the Enzo. Top notch, very high quality ingredients!! Definitely recommend.

This was the first and last time I will patronize this establishment. I placed an order at 10:30 AM through their website for delivery to my office at 11:45 AM. The order was approximately $50.00 for two sandwiches and a salad. I put a $10.00 tip (20 percent) on the order making the total bill around $60.00. First, the order arrived at 12:45 PM, exactly one hour late. When I called to inquire about the status at 12:15, I was told that larger orders take priority and are delivered first no matter what time a smaller order is placed. That is not something a customer wants to here, even if it is the truth. Second, when the delivery person finally arrived, he refused to deliver the order to the office. He called us and told us to come downstairs to the lobby and pick it up since it was not large enough for him to get on the elevator and bring it to our office. I guess the $10.00 tip to deliver a small bag of food a few blocks was not large enough either. What arrogance! The food itself was somewhat disappointing. The salad had a small container of dressing on the side which contained one tablespoon of dressing which was mostly vinegar. While the salad was fresh, it was dry because there was very little dressing to put on it. The sandwiches were okay. And, I mean just okay. Don't kid yourself, this place is no Faiccos. While the meat was very fresh, the portion of meat was small compared to the price. The sandwiches we received were not overstuffed like those shown in the photographs on the website even though extra meat, cheese and other additional items were paid for. In my opinion, Alidoro does not live up to its reputation. Based on the reviews, I expected a lot more. read more

Good Sandwich. Not great, but good. Maybe not worth the price tag. The numb er one reason for my review is the service. WOW! IF you are interested in being treated like crap, this is the place for you. The two workers had the attitude of basically being disgusted that I was ordering from their menu. They were very put out that I was curious of the ingredients in their soup. Guess I was taking away from their Instagram posts. We bringing up my order, they bags we essentially tossed at me with zero eye contact and certainly no "thank you for coming" or anything along those lines. Really shocking that for the expense, they can't seem to appreciate when someone is purchasing one of their sandwiches. read more

Definitely one of the best sandwiches in the city! We came here because of the reviews and posts from different well trusted sources including the awards for "best sandwiches in America" and "the best of NYC". It did not disappoint. We had a Il Soprano, the ones that comes with prosciutto, fresh mozzarella, arugula, olive paste and baby onions although we changed these last ones for sun dried tomatoes which made the difference. The sandwich is huge enough to share if you are not starving, but if you are a good eater you can definitely finish one and be very satisfied. I would recommend going with a friend or your loved one and order two different paninis so you can share both halves. The only downside is the bread. It is the traditional Italian bread that looks great but tastes just as chewy and old as the one you get at the Deli. I order mind warmed up so the taste would be like right out of the oven, right? Well, it was hard and dry as a rock. OK taste for some parts but overall not eatable. I guess you have to pay extra for the good beads. The focaccia and all the rest are $1 extra. I'll try those ones next time. Great selection of sandwiches, hot and cold, and some good choices for dessert. The place seems to have long lines and waiting times but we went on a Friday late afternoon to avoid them and there was nobody there. Skip lunch time and you'll skip the line, but you won't skip a great meal! read more

This was an excellent little sandwich shop with personalized attention and great food when its only location was in Soho. Since then it's expanded, much to the detriment of its food and service. It's a conveyor belt experience at this location, and a conveyor belt that is often broken: One time I got a chicken sandwich that was all outer brown coating of the chicken. Another time they forgot some toppings. A third time they gave me a completely different sandwich than I'd asked for. Shame. It began as something really good years ago. Now it's this. read more

Sorry to say that this has gone from one of the best places in New York for Italian sandwiches to entirely mediocre. The bread on my sandwich was stale, the porchetta lacked any flavor and this is the third time in a row that I was completely disappointed. read more

A buddy who used to live in the city told me about this place, we met up when he was in town. I was really impressed with how nice the interior was. Not a lot of area to eat for weeday lunch, but we were able to grab a spot at the bar. The sandwiches are very good. I ended up having a sandwich with homemade mozzarella (requirement in my opinion), prosciutto and soppressetta. It was so good. They have really good bread quality here. Didn't love their chip options, but the sandwich is enough without chips. The sandwiches are a bit pricey, but living in NY you gotta spend a little on lunch. read more

Great sandwiches but screwy operations. Can take 30 min to get one made (after waiting on line, ordering and paying!).

Alidoro is definitely my favorite sandwich spot in mid town. It's the closest thing to a sandwich from Florence I can find. Today at work, my team split the alidoro mix. The Pinocchio is definitely my favorite sandwich on the list. The olive paste suits the prosciutto so well. Alidoro is definitely pricey, but in my opinion, nothing beats it. read more

The owner replied to my review asking what he could do to remedy the situation and the service he provided did not disappoint. He replicated my entire order for delivery on the day of my choosing AND included a platter of chocolate chip cookies with a handwritten note of apology. Thank you, Jon, for amazing customer service and making the situation right. Everything was delicious! :) read more

I ordered the Alidoro and the ingredients in the sandwich were really good, but my sandwich was a lot of bread (I got the standard white). I am definitely going to come back and try some of the different bread options. read more

Alidoro changed my life! Alidoro was literally has changed me and the way i eat! There is no sandwich like it in the city. Whether you are up town at their new location, or bopping around soho, if you are near Alidoro, going there is a must. I was introduced to Alidoro my first week living in the city, and have never looked back. With their authentic staff, or their healthy servings, there is something for everyone at Alidoro. I have not met a sandwich there I did not enjoy. Just when I think I have created the perfect Sandwich, the aroma of an another sandwich beckons me. I love Alidoro, and I want you to love it too! read more

If you love spicy food, get the Gregorio Hot Sandwich Special! It's the bomb.

Steven and I came here for a lunch date and wowiee are we returning!!! He's been there a bunch and knew the menu, but it was my first time and I was blown away by all of the options. He got the Alidoro, his usual, on whole wheat and loved it. I got the Brando without the provolone on Focaccia (per the staff member's recommendation) and I LOVED it... It was so filling, the chicken was sliced SO thinly, and the peppers were delicious. It's a great lunch spot, but get here before 12:15pm to beat the lunch rush--we got there at 12pm on the dot and five minutes later there was a pretty long line. read more

This place is delicious! I went with a friend and we split the Alyssa for lunch and I brought home the La Porchetta for my husband. Both sandwiches were amazing. We didn't experience a crazy lunch rush the way I expected being so close to grand central, but perhaps we were just lucky. I loved the decor inside (reminded me of sandwich shops in Florence) and the menu looks so good I can't wait to go back and try the other sandwiches. Truly well done! read more

Best true Italian sandwich joint in NYC. Staff is polite and food is ready quick. Brielle who I believe is the manager is always smiling and it's contagious to the staff. Really don't have a bad thing to say about this place except that they need to open more locations!! read more

I have ordered 10 sandwiches from Alidoro for a lunch meeting and it was awesome! Everyone in the office loved it. The sandwiches are big enough to feed two people. My favorite was Alyssa sandwich however the rest were good as well. If you want to enjoy the taste of the sandwiches than order them hot, it gives you a better taste of the flavors. I would definitely order from there again. read more

I had a life altering experiences with the Gregorio Hot Sandwich today. This mouthwatering treat from the gods kept a smile on my face for the remainder of the work day and into the evening. The very spicy Gregorio lit up my taste buds like no other sandwich has before. The hot sopressata was tucked snugly under the fresh melted mozzarella topped with sweet peppers, arugula and sandwiched between fluffy Focaccia lathered with the "hot spread" I simply cannot wait until I am reunited with Gregorio again for a steamy lunch session. read more
