Loved the location in Florence so much, I came to the location in NYC also. Was right about the greatness. Located in the heart of soho - two blocks off west Houston. Cute shop that services spritz's. Sandwiches were just as good as back in Florence with a shorter wait ha! Had the Italian Hot and it was great. Not as spicy as they had indicated but I have an appetite for spice so was fine for me. Would def try something else next time. read more

Meat on focaccia - say less!!! My husband brought a couple of sandwiches home for dinner. We got the La Paradiso and the L'Italiana. Both looked incredible. I preferred the L'Italiana! Staff was great and helped recommend our sandwiches too! (I'll mention that I ate a quarter of each and couldn't eat anymore bc I somehow made myself sick thinking about lunch meat . Which does go into my star ranking. It's specifically a me thing!!) I would absolutely recommend though. And they're great as leftovers even! read more

let me preface this by saying I'm not a meat eater and this place is definitely where you go to get a nice meat-heavy sandwich. So maybe take it with a grain of salt. But the sandwich I was served should be taken off the menu and reworked, my gawd. Ordered: The Veggie (Gorgonzola Cream, Spicy Zucchini, Spicy Eggplant, Sun-Dried Tomato, Arugula) -- sounded really interesting! It was so bad, almost inedible had it not been for the saving grace bread. Veggies weren't cooked down enough nor were they were spicy. The gorgonzola cream was very overpowering--and i'm a blue cheese LOVER-- espec. alongside the peppery bite of the arugula and tang of the sun-dried tomatoes. Too much going on, nothing executed well. I will try the Caprese next time! read more

Ever since we've been to the original in Florence, we've been trying to find the adequate substitute for a local sandwich. Low and behold, All Antico opens up a couple stores in NY and we're so glad to have this delicacy back state-side. It's really a gem of a place as it brings back some of the most authentic and fresh flavors of Italy right in your home country. I would say any of the combinations are excellent and I would definitely venture a couple times to see what you're missing out on. read more

Great sandwich! The New Yorker is great for someone who doesn't love Italian meats and loves roast beef but really makes the sandwich stand out is the bread. It's crunchy and slightly salted so it tastes like perfection. Is it a little expensive? Yes. But you can taste the quality and it's worth it to indulge every once in a while. This location is never crazy busy and there was space to eat on the edge of the restaurant as well. Overall, I was impressed and will go back again. read more

Really good every time, Food is AMAZING and the sandwiches are massive; La Summer is my favorite!

Please know those who fall for influencers or hype will be disappointed. Those who understand good, fresh, authentic Italian food won't. Sandwiches were simple and perfect for what they are.....these are Italian street food sandwiches not Michelin star best thing you will ever eat items. They are really, really good if you understand that. Service was 5/5....one of the nicest experiences in NYC. read more

On a weekday during lunchtime, I was able to order as soon as I stepped in. I got my sandwich within 5 minutes. This is a great spot to pick up a quick lunch. Although quiet, it seems less of a dine in spot. La Broadway used a bouncy focaccia bread. While the sandwich was filling, it wasn't heavy. read more

Absolutely love this sandwich shop, you feel like you are transported to Italy when you step in. Everything is incredibly fresh, and the focaccia bread is unmatched. I've tried the Summer and the Toscana sandwich and they were both incredible. Both times I have stopped in, I have ordered at the front and they make the sandwich quickly right in front of you. You are able to add/remove things as well, I added basil to the Toscana and it was definitely the right move. It is definitely more of an order and go, there's not much inside seating available. They also offer a NYU discount of 10%. I would definitely check this out if you're in the area, or even if you're near one of their multiple locations across the US. read more

I've seen these sandwiches go viral all over social media so I was delighted to randomly see this establishment across the street I decided to park my car. I went with the mortadella and pistachio cream and I loved it. The bread was crunchier than I was anticipating and the videos I've seen make it look like the sandwiches are loaded with meat + filling, and to me it felt a bit light, but regardless I loved every bite. Would definitely come back and try some of the other offerings. read more

Small branch of the famous chain, serving quality sandwiches. They also sometimes have specials which can be fun! Came after seeing their $15 summer special for half a sandwich and aperol spritz. We arrived at around 6 pm (they close at 7 pm) to an empty store and quickly ordered. I got a spritz and half a paradiso, which was delicious. Ingredients tasted fresh. There's lots of bar seating/window counter seating but no actual tables in the store or outdoor seating so it's probably only best for groups of 2. The staff was kind and efficient. Definitely worth stopping by if you're in the area! read more

I've been meaning to come for a while and finally got around to it. I picked up the La District on a weekday afternoon - a small line formed behind me after I came in but it wasn't too bad. The focaccia on the sandwich was really good - they toast it so it was crispy on the outside and soft and pillowy on the inside. The sun dried tomatoes were a great addition and added a bit of sweetness to the counterbalance the saltiness of the pecorino cream. There aren't really tables inside but there's counter space / bar seating. read more

Awesome shop from Florence. Get the Vesuvius as it's a top seller from the owner. Enjoy

I was very happy to eat this sandwich. You will be happy to eat this sandwich. And while I can't say for sure how you're going to feel otherwise, if you're an uncouth American like me, you may also think that there wasn't enough meat in it. I rolled with the Paradiso, which is mortadella, stracciatella, pistachio cream, pistachio crumbles, all layered on basically an entire loaf of Tuscan schiacciata bread (a little thinner and more crisp, but not far off focaccia). All the ingredients are excellent quality. The bread is noticeably fresh, the meat freshly sliced, the cheese so creamy. The shop is cute, and the staff was super nice, and clearly took great care in preparing the sandwich. Again, I'm glad I was eating the sandwich. But I live in a world where one or two layers of meat on an Italian sandwich is unacceptable. I need more protein in my life than this, especially for $20. It tastes good, but the ratios are off. Too much bread for this amount of meat. And while it's not nice to compare, Faicco's is right down the street, and they put like three inches of meat on a hero (entirely too much, and what she said). With them on the left, and All'Antico on the right, I just feel like this country is too divided right now, and we need to meet in the middle. read more

Ordered a sandwich here for pick up and it was excellent. It was ready as soon as we arrived and it was truly delicious. Bread is unexplainably delicious. Highly recommend visiting and ordering a LA Caprese. read more

I was REALLLLLY looking forward to this place and the sandwiches. Let me start by saying the service was EXCELLENT, they gave us samples of bread and cheese while we waited. And they even kindly split the 2 sandwiches in 3 piece each (there were 3 of us). We split the pork pistachio cream one and the truffle honey salami one. I thought I would LOVE the pork pistachio one, but there was very little meat in my 3rd of a sandwich and it just lacked flavor. I preferred the salami one, though the bread was very sticky from the honey. I would have loved to have tried the mortadella sandwich too. I will definitely try it again, I just think either they (or me!) were off that day. Bummer. read more

My go-to spot when I have classes on NYU main campus. The price is on the higher end, ranging from $18-21, but the portion can feed me 2.5 meals. They offer 10% discount for NYU students, so it is overall a good deal. Homey and friendly service -- they treated me fresh warm foccacia and prosciutto sample when I visited the last few times! ＊ La Schiacciata di Manlo A combination of all my fav food: prosciutto, mozzarella, truffle cream and spicy eggplant. Their foccacia bread is always a spot on, while the truffle cream levels up the flavor profile. read more

Holy smokes, i feel like i was today years old when i found the meaning of sandwich. [] La Paradiso 1000/10 Fresh stracciatella, hefty slices of mortadella, (added) arugula, nutty pistachio cream tucked between 2 perfectly thin and crispy pieces of focaccia bread. seems so simple yet so freaking tasty where each bite is a flavor bomb of sweet and savory white getting crunch for texture as well. The workers there are super sweet and offered me samples of their variety of spreads like truffle! Each sandwich is around $20 but is actually the size of my head so it can definitely be split among two meals or be extra hungry. Trust me. Beware of eating it all in one seating. Speaking for a friend btw. read more

I found All'Antico Vinaio on TikTok and I knew I had to stop by while in NYC! Service was quick and kind, I asked what their most popular sandwich was and was told it was the La Paradiso. I'm not a big pistachio girl, I don't eat them often, but I trusted their suggestion and I'm SO glad I did! The La Paradiso was the tastiest sandwich I've ever had. I'd say the pistachio and pistachio cream are more like a pesto and a butter - I would take a jar of the two back home if they sold it. Ambiance is welcoming and cozy. It's a small place and lunch rush hour can get a bit crazy. My colleagues and I got in just in time to get some seating near a window. Get there early if you want a seat! All'Antico Vinaio, I love you. Your sandwiches are so damn good and I can't wait until I can visit again. read more

I recently purchased three sandwiches to mix and match with the hubs. First of all, the takeout service is friendly and prompt. I went at an off time, around 5pm, and there was only one couple ordering ahead of me. In general, the bread is bomb, and it puts All'Antico Vinaio on another level. The challenge is figuring out what combination of ingredients works for you. Of the creations we tried, La Paradiso was best. Even if you're not a major pistachio fan, the flavors are balanced and play well off each other. We also liked (not loved) the vegetarian La Broadway. The veggies were fresh and plentiful. It's the exact opposite of La Schiaciatta del Boss, which I thought was too decadent. I love myself some rich prosciutto, umami-laden truffle cream, and a nice, earthy slice of pecorino-- but as it turns out, they are too much together. I removed the pecorino (for later consumption) and thought it was great. I know others will disagree, and power to those who can handle the richness, but this is a warning to people whose palettes may be more in line with mine. All this to say that I would definitely return and customize my own sandwich, now that I've tried a range of offerings. Solid recommend. read more

The schiacciata del boss was pretty nice. I'm not entirely sure I love that everything is served on such thick focaccia, as it makes it a little hard to eat. I wish at least it were cut into halves or quarters, which I ended up doing, as it certainly cannot be eaten in the whole loaf that it is served in. The meat was really nice and I'm never not going to love a combination of cheese on truffle. Would consider coming back to try some of their other options. read more

Who knew that you could have a great business model around using incredible ingredient and being creative around how they come together. All'Antico Vinaio knew. So I decided to visit the location near NYU during their winter break to avoid the crowd and boy was it a good move. I went in and was second in line. Still took about 5 minutes before I could order but who's keep track of time anyways. Oh wait I am. But I actually needed the time to figure out what I was going to order and then how I was going to order it as I had no idea how to pronounce schiacciata. So when I came up to the register I said I wanted the Del Boss, which is the second half of the La Schiacciata Del Boss sandwich. Then the cashier jokingly ask me to tell him the full name of the sandwich. Well however it's pronounced, it was good. It comes with Prosciutto toscano, pecorino toscano, and truffle cream. The sandwich comes together well with its limited ingredients. I tasted the prosciutto alone and it was some of the best I've ever had. It was soft and buttery. My only complaint is that they give you a paper thin layer of prosciutto that the strong taste of the Pecorino dominates the experience. You have to let your best ingredient shine and the prosciutto was by far the best part of the sandwich. Regardless it was a good sandwich. Also the look and feel of the restaurant itself was ok. It's always nice to be able to see them prepare your sandwich but not sure if the ambiance transports me to Toscany. Matter of fact I can judge in that regard because I've never been to Italy which is one of my two dream places I would like to visit. Overall good experience and I can't wait to go back. read more

I cannot believe they brought this sandwich spot from Firenze to New York. It costs almost twice as much and doesn't contain many the spreads which Florence had to offer. The end result, however, was still delightful. One thing to note: They're not stingy with their portions. I ordered the La Favolosa, removed the eggplant, subbed the Stracciatella instead of pecorino cream. In Florence, they offer a red pepper spread which ties everything together. Anyhow, I could not finish my sandwich and realized the hubby and I could have shared by requesting them to slice it in half. We went in the afternoon on a Sunday and it wasn't as busy as it always is in Florence. All in all, I enjoyed the sandwich as it took my back to our trip in Italy. Prego! read more

Honestly, it's a big sandwich in size-enough for two people!, but a bit skimpy on the roast beef. For $19 I'd rather a smaller size with a better quantity of beef. Nonetheless, a tasty sandwich with quality ingredients and great bread. Would have been better toasted though. I should have asked if they did that . Super friendly staff and helpful. Place could have a few tables though instead of the wall seating, totally enough room for it and it could change the vibe a bit. Overall, good place read more

Considered one of the best street food experiences in the world, and considered by Saveur magazine to be the home of the world's best sandwiches, I couldn't wait to try All'Antico Vinaio. I planned my attack to come after 1pm, I figured the lunch crowd would thin out and its just me and the imported Italian meats. The line wasn't too long as I patiently wait for my turn. There is seating inside, there aren't tables but stools and a wall shelf. The vibe from the people behind the counter, everyone seems happy as they make these incredible sandwiches. I'm still trying to gauge these sandwich makers, are they from Italy and now living in New York? Are they seasoned sandwich makers from New York? I don't hear any accents, I'm just going with the flow. One of the sandwich makers comes into the shop carrying at least 15 freshly baked Tuscan schiacciata breads. Looking over the menu, you want to try everything. If you're looking at the prices saying this is crazy expensive, peace out? Man.. You missed out on something magical. It truly is a one of a kind experience. I'm going to buy two sandwiches, I'll bring one home for my family and one to enjoy now. After much deliberation, I'm going to enjoy the La Paradiso inside with an italian soda. My sandwich is simple: Mortadella, stracciatella, pistachio cream and a thick pistachio spread. The word stracciatella is throwing me, is it ice cream on the sandwich?? It is not ice cream but a cheese which takes the fat-rich part of the curd that's leftover from making mozzarella and mixes it with salt and cream. I'm given my sandwich and I grab a stool. I take a bite. O.M.G. There's too many sensory things happening at once. The pistachio crumble mixed with the cheese along with the Mortadella between two pieces of warm schiacciata bread? Really, there are no words. This sandwich was the best thing I ate in 2023. Highly recommended read more

The sandwiches are All'Antico Vinaio were so delicious, I literally came back the next day for another fix. This Bleecker St location is a little larger than their 8th Av location, so there's a little more breathing space while waiting in line, as well as a few more seats open for you to sit down and enjoy your food. However, Washington Sq Park is only a few steps away so I would definitely recommend taking your sandwiches over there instead. I ordered the Dante ($17) which contains capocollo, stracchino, truffle cream, and arugula. While I enjoyed the greens and the saltiness of the capacollo, I did think the spicy eggplant spread made a big impression on me and was sad not to taste it. For this reason, I think my favorite so far is the schiacciata di Manolo but I'm planning to try the Favolosa next! read more

OMG! This sandwich lives up to the hype. La paradiso stood out to me from the start, since I love mortadella, stracciatella, and pistachio... but I also really wanted a hint of truffle in my sandwich. The service was amazing... the staff offered us samples of both the truffle cream and truffle honey on pieces of bread for us to try, and we opted to add a drizzle of truffle honey to our sandwich! The sandwich was packed with mortadella and the pistachio cream and stracciatella offered such a light yet creamy, refreshing flavor to the sandwich. The bread also came out fresh -- crispy focaccia and soft and fluffy on the inside. It was delectable! The mortadella was also so so fresh and flavorful. My ideal sandwich :) read more

Had read Yelpers describe excellent sandwiches from here and a few described having to wait on line. Being a native New Yorker who lacks "line patience" & knowing I wouldn't get there till 5pm...I ordered online when I was 40 minutes away on a Manhattan bound A train. I arrived 5 minutes after receiving notice that my sandwich was ready. The shop wasn't too crowded at all, but my bag was ready to go! A smiling fella at the counter looked up & asked me my name & handed my bag to go! Very efficient & the shop's staff were all cheerful and diligently taking & executing orders. I returned home with my "La Paradiso" (Mortadella, Stracciatella, Pistachio Cream, Pistachio) + added prosciutto crudo. I unwrapped an 8"x7" golden crusted focaccia masterpiece. Granted it was $22, but it was my Knick vs Cavs pregame dinner! The combination of flavors with the fat of the mortadella, the creamy stracciatella & the crunch of the pistachios and toasted focaccia was truly satisfying. I could only eat half...but the other half will follow soon enough!!! I felt a dill pickle or, better, pickled pepper would've been a perfect accompaniment...I supplied my own! I highly recommend a visit. read more

My bf had been dying to try these viral Italian sandwiches so we made the trip last Friday and he hasn't stopped talking about them since. We arrived before 5:30pm and comfortably took our seats. We heard 2 other customers say that they stopped by just because they noticed there was no line so I'm guessing this was a good time to go. Between the two of us, we shared La Paradiso ($17) and La Schiacciata del Boss ($20). I definitely preferred the Paradiso (with its mortadella and pistachio cream - yummm) as the Boss tasted a bit dry. But the fresh meats and schiacciata bread totally lived up to the hype. After we devoured all 4 halves, my bf had to order one more sandwich to go, and this time he customized it with mortadella, fresh mozz, arugula, tomatoes and truffle I believe. It tasted amazing even the next day. Prices may seem a bit steep but honestly not crazy for NYC especially for a legendary sandwich shop straight from Florence. It's worth the try. The staff was super friendly and personable, would recommend! read more
