Fiiiinally made it this famed Florence favorite sammich shop and it did not disappoint! They opened a small shop just outside of Grand Central towards Park Ave, which is super convenient as an LICer. The line was about 10 people long around 1pm, not terrible - gave me a chance to further investigate the menu and gaze at loads of drool-worthy meats and cheese in the display case. I opted for the L'italiana, which features Prosciutto, Pistachio Cream, Stracciatella, Sun-Dried Tomato, Arugula, though I swapped out the prosciutto for bresaola. Oh man, this bread is legit! And as a yuuuge pistachio fan, that cream is delightful, especially coupled with that creamy stracciatella. Super well-composed sandwich, amazing bread, quality ingredients...a hit! Needless to say, I'll be back in short order to try more of their menu. Good stuff! read more

Service: 3.2/5 Food: 3.9/5 Price: $20-$30 under $20 $30-$50 lunch with my old work team. great for a quick workday lunch. the line gets long but moves pretty quick. not much room to eat inside, so better to take it to the outside tables or nearby steps. a lot of overlap with their sandwich flavors. lowkey wish they would let you create your own but I guess that would slow the process down. they have gluten free bread! although it does take longer to prepare because I think they bake it semi-fresh? What I Ordered: - italiana: pretty good, would be better with balsamic vinegar. keeps well for the future read more

We are big fans of this chain. We have tried different sandwiches and the Mediterraneo was the best. But we ordered one at this location and the person preparing used a squeezer bottle for the Calabrian chili paste/oil and soaked the sandwich. We could barely eat it. There was almost no burrata - no fennel shavings just arugula. We could not even taste the prosciutto. So the sandwich was horrible. Why would you use Calabrian chili and apply like ketchup ?? We gave them feedback and asked for more burrata and they said they would have to charge extra. Even tho we showed them how little there was in the sandwich . We will not be back to this or any other shop in this chain. Bad food. Bad service. Bad combination. read more

Filling sandwich! Sat outside to eat it and it was delicious. Highly recommend for a picnic~ read more

All'Antico Vinaio - Sandwiches Near Me - New York, New York

When we were in Rome, Italy last year, I noticed an All' Antico Vinaio spot, but there was always a long line of tourists, thus we avoided it. Little did we know that the famed sandwich shops are becoming ubiquitous here in New York city. There are already seven, maybe eight, and they're spreading across the country already in: Beverly Hills, CA, Las Vegas, NV, and Nashville, TN. I can understand the hype - The Tuscan bread, called schiacciata, is baked fresh and your sandwich is prepared according to a long list of Italian ingredients, all quite healthy and delicious (unlike greasy 7th Ave burgers which is another ubiquitous brand popping up all over the place). - - Anyway - - - My husband is a sandwich lover (especially Turkey sandwiches). Their version named "Venice Beach" loaded with turkey, avocado, mozzarella did not disappoint. The sandwich was so big we split it in half - I added tomato and basil to my half. Yummy! **Five Easy Stars** - - - Did you know that All' Antico Vinaio originated in Firenze, Italy back in 1991 by the Mazzanti family? Their son Tommaso had the genius idea to flaunt it on social media and the word spread - the rest is history! - - - Buon appetito! Grazie mille! read more

Went here at last and got the White Christmas sandwich which was humongous and delicious. Porchetta with sun dried tomatoes and arugula done perfectly. I cannot wait to return to try more of the menu. I ate the entire thing and could not eat dinner that night. Worth it 100%! Hope they open up in New Jersey. read more

One of the best sandwiches I've had. So simple but the ingredients were fresh and the bread was amazing. I got the La Paradiso (mortadella and pistachio cream) with arugula and it was delicious. That pistachio cream is delicious. It's pretty expensive for a sandwich, but it was honestly big enough for two portions read more

All'Antico Vinaio - La paradise with arugula - Sandwiches Near Me - New York, New York

They finally opened an All'Antico Vinaio at Grand Central and I was so excited to try it. As soon as I looked at the menu, I knew exactly what I wanted, La Paradiso! I mean, who doesn't love mortadella?!?! The stracciatella cheese was insanely creamy and paired perfectly with the pistachio cream. Match made in heaven! My only complaint is that the mortadella was sliced super thin. It looked like a lot, but once you bite in it, you realize there's not much there... For $18, I expected a bit more. That said, the sandwich is huge. I could only finish half and had to save the rest for later. Definitely heavy, super filling, and carby in the best way. I'd go back to try more of their sandwich options for sure. read more

I stopped by a small sandwich and wine spot near my job, and it was a great find. I ordered the Lamb-tastic which had roasted lamb, arugula, marinated peppers, and pecorino cream, and it was every bit as good as it looked on the display board. Flavorful and filling. My colleagues tried other sandwiches (two even split one because they're huge), and we all agreed the bread was amazing, it really made the sandwich. Between the quality, portion size, and cozy wine bar vibe, I'll definitely be back. read more

Yayyyyyy so so so happy to finally have an All'Antico Vinaio location by my office, and today is the grand opening! The sandwiches are incredible and big enough to share or split into two meals for yourself or with another person. Every sandwich comes on fresh baked schiacciata bread which is a Tuscan flatbread, similar to focaccia, but thinner and slightly chewier. My absolute favorite AV sandwich, and what I ordered today, is the La Paradiso which includes mortadella (I once heard this - outside of AV - referred to as grown up bologna which may be why I love it so much), stracciatella, pistachio cream, and pistachio. The combination of flavors is incredible. I noticed on the sandwich counter, several additional sandwiches not listed on the regular menu so will have to check those out. Not sure if they're seasonal or not. For a grand opening, which was not publicly announced from what I could tell, it was quick and efficient. I was in and out in less than 10 min even with the line just out the door. A perfect lunchtime escape from the office as sometimes other lunch spot lines can take significantly longer. In addition to sandwiches they also sell drinks including wine, beer, soda, Italian soda, tea, various coffee drinks, and still or sparkling water. I noticed they sell an affogato which I will have to try one of these days. I'd love if they sold chips but it's also not necessary. One sandwich is more than enough for a meal. Honestly if I split one sandwich into two meals then had a bag of chips that would really hit the spot. There is also a good amount of counter style seating along the side wall and front window if you want to eat in. Welcome to the neighborhood, All'Antico Vinaio! read more

Super quick convenient service which is nice during a busy work week. The broadway was a good sandwich. Very pistachio forward flavor. Wish the straciatella was creamier. Liked the arugula and sun-dried tomato. The bread was my favorite part. Also the sandwich was huge you can definitely share one. read more

I got the Diavolo sandwhich; I think it was one of their specialties. The ingredients were very fresh and the sando was HUGE. They do have a lot of options but I wasn't absolutely taken away where I need to come back. It's a solid choice if you're looking for this kind of sando though. Not gonna lie I thought the bread was a little hard but it wasn't a deal breaker. Service was fast and efficient and the inside was cute. read more

I had heard a lot of good things about this place online, but was disappointed by both the food quality and some aspects of the service. I ordered a La Paradiso sandwich, which contained cream and pistachio pesto. The bread was crunchy, but the ingredients were rather bland; the cream and pistachio pesto could barely be tasted against the bread and meat. Something peculiar happened with respect to service. I asked for a cup of water, which an employee gave, but I was told that their usual policy is to charge for water. I then overheard some employees say that the free water was just for legal compliance, and only meant for people who don't have money. Another said, "Isn't that water infected?" "Yeah" "So he'll get sick later?" "Yeah." (Seriously, you can't make this up.) In summary, the sandwich was okay but overpriced at $20 given its blandness. Ambiance consisted of white walls and bright fluorescent lights. The service was remarkably unprofessional in the way just described. read more

All'Antico Vinaio - Half of a rather small and bland $20 sandwich - Sandwiches Near Me - New York, New York

I can't speak for authenticity because I've never been to Italy, but these sandwiches are tasty! The midtown location had literally no wait and the staff was super kind and patient as I questioned the ingredients. Inside has a few stools and a table for seating, and is decorated with italian fare and wine bottles galore. There is a set menu of sandwiches to choose from, but feel free to create your own if you're feeling adventurous! I ordered the La Broadway and was really surprised how good it was. The focaccia is sturdy and crisp. The stracciatella and pistachio added the fat, while the sundried tomato and eggplant cut through that with tang. It would definitely be my go to sandwich for the summer. At $17 it was a bit pricey BUT, the sandwich was so large, I ended up taking half of it home for leftovers, so well worth the price IMO. Overall, I'm sure there's a local mom and pop that does it better. But for quick, casual and absolutely tasty, I would definitely recommend All'Antico Vinaio! read more

Such a delicious sandwich!! Highly recommend! Friendly sandwich staff. Will come back again!!

I was really excited to see this place open up just outside of Grand Central just to have a good takeout train meal option, but I had the most disappointingly bland sandwich here for lunch yesterday. The La Summer tasted like bread, bland grocery store mozzarella, and pretty much nothing else. My husband's first reaction was "did they forgot an ingredient?" He was bewildered that a sandwich with these ingredients could taste so flavorless. I think the bread is great but either needs to be thinner or the fillings inside need to be more generous. That or they need to be more generous with the olive oil, salt, and and pepper. We've had similar sandwiches all over Italy and Croatia over the years, and they've all been much better. I'm not sure what was lost in translation when they moved this overseas. I'm willing to give this place another shot since maybe I just ordered the wrong sandwich but beware--don't order the La Summer! read more

I'm so happy they opened up a location by grand central - it makes it more accessible to try these delicious sandwiches!! The sandwiches are pretty pricey - but worth every penny IMO. I work nearby, so whenever I feel like splurging on lunch, I definitely make sure it's on a sandwich from here! read more

I got the La Paradiso since I love pistachios. The sandwich was about $20 but pretty good since it does feed 2 people or can have it as a second meal. Ingredients were super fresh tasting (Mortadella (meat was not too salty), stracciatella (no sour/diary after taste) , pistachio cream, pistachio). Employees were nice and very efficient. I went on the weekend around noon and only a few people were there, but I heard it does get busy on the weekends with the offices in the area. There were a few bar stools around the sides of the wall. read more

Definitely preferred the proscuitto over the porchetta. Foccaccia was on the flatter and crunchier side rather than fluffy. Would come back for the pistachio cream - delish! A bit pricey but the portion size is big so we each only finished half of the sandwich. read more

The Worlds Best Sandwich You MUST Experience My wife and I go to NYC quite often and most of the time we usually do things in midtown. On Friday On October 3rd I had a doctor's appt in Union Square near lunch time. After my appt we decided to walk around the area and check things out. The area was bustling, they have vibrant public spaces, a Greenmarket that was the best I've ever seen, great shopping lots of restaurants of all types of cuisines. The park has statues of George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Mohandas Gandhi and the Marquis de Lafayette. I have been told they also do a holiday market which we will be visiting. It's now lunch time and we were both hungry. After looking I my iPhone for places to eat we decided to try All'Antico Vinaio. They originate from Florence, Italy and have sandwich shop in NYC (7 shops), LA (4 shops) Las Vegas (2 shops) Nashville (2 shops) Boston (1 shop) and are building more. We got to the front door and there were 11 people in line. I grabbed a menu, and we started to make our decision about what we were going to have. (it was tough) every sandwich sounded delicious. In the meantime, trays of warm Focaccia Bread kept coming out of the ovens and placed on cooling rack. You see this is what your sandwich will be made with. YUM, warm fresh focaccia bread what more could you ask for! My wife ordered the "La Paradiso" gal standing beside us said it was her favorite! It's made with Mortadella, Stracciatella & Pistachio Cream, my wife was extremely happy with it. I ordered the "L Inferno" it's made with Porchetta, Nduja, Spicey Eggplant, Spicey Zucchini and Arugula. TO DIE FOR!!!. The quality, quantity of ingredients could not be any fresher. My wife and I travel to Italy every year and we both said Italy sandwich shops have nothing over this place. I highly recommend you try one of the NYC locations I know my wife and I will become regulars here when we are in town. read more

Amazing sandwiches - freshly made focaccia with all the best Italian salumeria ingredients. I ordered several sandwiches since I couldn't decide. Shared with my family, and they were all great in their own way. Definite go to! read more

Solid! Not what I was expecting in terms of the actual establishment, very causal and no real seating. Sandwiches and service were very good!!! read more

LOVED the sandwich. One of the employees allowed me to get a second meat on mine and made an exception. it was fantastic. unfortunately, i will not be going back because they will not allow me to do it again and thats what i want. i understand they want to keep their brand the same but if i want to add a second meat i should be allowed to pay an additional fee and get what i ask for. very disappointed and hope this rule changes soon. read more

I am happy to share a 5-star review, for the excellent service provided by Chervone, Moh, and Estevan. I ran into the cafe frantically, as a bird had pooped on my head and I was heading to a fancy birthday party in the area. I asked for a napkin and cup of tap water, to clean myself up. The team welcomed me into the cafe. I am so thankful for their kindness, and can't wait to go back and try some of their food! read more

We placed an order today through the restaurants website, which works with Uber eats. The order was placed before 11 AM for An 12:00 pm to 12:15 pm pick up. When we arrived at the restaurant for the pick up, they told us they didn't have the order at all; they said they never received it. We know we placed the order because we were able to track it. The problem we have is with the person at the cash register who refused to look at the bags near her to see if it matched our order which we had a print out of. Later, we received the receipts from Uber eats and I filed a complaint about the order. We are a bank and shall we use our bank credit cards. I have contacted that apartment to dispute the charges since we never received the food. It is completely frustrating to know you've placed an order and to have someone at a restaurant tell you they never received it. She even asked us if it would be at another location, but that would be impossible since I used the website that was for that exact location. We've ordered before from this place, but it will be a long time before we make a decision to do that again. Horrible customer service. read more
