Went for lunch. Sandwich didn't look anything like in these photos. Bad quality meat, on basic focaccia. Double the price it should be. They get one extra star because the service was kind. I got the $18 turkey sandwich, and it reminded me of the free sandwiches we'd get for lunch at summer day camps a kid (derogatory). read more

Missing a few things that would take it from good to great. The first of those is friendlier staff. We stopped by on a Saturday afternoon. There was no line. There was no reason to be so gruff. Sandwiches are good - meat, tomatoes, veggies, cheese, all fresh. Focaccia is just decent, and the sandwich needs a spread of some sort - pesto? Good olive oil? For now, it's just bread with ingredients. Expensive, but generous portions. Finally, the card reader is set to automatically take a 10 percent tip - which is robbery. I was paying attention so I pressed "4" for custom and left zero. read more

Great sourdough sandwich bread. Very solid good sandwiches. A little on the pricey side, but quality ingredients. Decent service and pretty fast for take out. read more

Bottino Take-Out - a close up of a man's ear - Sandwiches Near Me - New York, New York

My coworkers and I would go here to grab a quick lunch. It's reliably good if you're in the mood for a sandwich and know what you want. The menu is your typical deli fare but you get to pick the type of bread which can make things a little interesting. I always waffle between the focaccia and olive bread and end up going with the multigrain (call me a coward). They also have salads and vegetarian sandwiches like the grilled eggplant, mozz/tomato/arugula, and bresaola. I have heard whispers that the monkey bread is amazing but have yet to try it. This shop is take-out only (located right next to the actual restaurant). read more

Bottino has delicious, quick, freshly made gourmet sandwiches on yummy bread. Generous amount of meat and veggies. A big sandwich I can pace out into two meals sometimes. When it's warm outside, eat your sandwich on the High Line, which is fun. The price felt a bit steep (but pretty usual for the area) so that's why I gave it 4 stars. The chocolate chip cookies are very yummy. read more

Bottino Take-Out - #7 Bresaola sandwich - Sandwiches Near Me - New York, New York

Great sandwiches, good coffee and quick service. With 20+ sandwiches and good salads, one has plenty to choose from.

Their oatmeal raisin cookies are amazing. Watermelon lemonade in summer, oh ma g It got expensive through years but Bottino is still one of my favorite sandwich places in the city. read more

I haven't eaten here in 5 years, don't live in nyc anymore and yet had the sudden urge to look this place up and make sure it was still there. The best sandwiches in nyc can be found here. I used to get chicken salad on raisin bread. Sandwich so good, that I'm dreaming about it 5 years later. read more

For college students, value often takes priority over quality and I am ashamed to admit I have, on occasion, considered heading to the Subway next door over instead of paying for a smaller sandwich at Bottino. Luckily for me though, I have yet to succumb to these moments of weakness. The sandwiches at Bottino are amazing! I've been around this area several times before/after a gallery day and been desperately searching for a cheap meal. Now, I know to add this place to my regular rotation. If you come around lunch time, the line can get kind of crazy, but they've got a system down and process orders fairly quickly. In fact, I was worried I wouldn't be able to make a decision on what to order before it was my turn. Luckily, it seems that the sandwiches here are great no matter what you choose. Even the ones that sound simple (you might be thinking "what possible turkey sandwich could be good enough to justify an $8 price tag") are great. The condiments meld perfectly with the deli meats and the focaccia - OH MY GOD the focaccia!! I swear, this was some of the best bread I've ever had. It's so fluffy and airy and I've never understood how my roommate can just snack on bread alone, but now I know. I've been thinking about that focaccia ever since and I can't wait to go back. read more

I am so happy I discovered Bottino. I live half a block from them and also work from home so they pretty much feed me everyday for lunch. And I'm so glad they do! I usually order for pickup and get a pickup number since they can get pretty busy where the line will go out of the store. The woman who works the register is a machine! She is takiing care of 5 people at once. Everything is so fresh, just walking in the store makes me happy. The smell of fresh bread and the site of cheeses, meats and salads behind the glass deli counter makes you feel like you're in a small Italian village. As for the food, it speaks for itself. The ingredients are always fresh. My favorites so far are: The Chef Salad: Mixed Greens, Smoked Turkey & Smoked Proscuitto with Asiago, Avocado, Tomato, Olives & Vinaigrette #15: Grilled Chicken & Avocado, Herbal Mayo (yum!), Lettuces & Tomato I also have to agree with many of the other reviewers here, their sandwiches are large so I eat half oen day and save the other half for lunch the next day (unless my boyfriend beats me to it!). So in that sense, a 6.69 sandwich is a bargain! :) Just tried their special today: Gazpacho. It was good, very tasty. My only complaint was it was a bit on the watery side. Other usual specials (summertime): Ginger mint Lemonade. It's good but not as gingery as I had hoped. read more

Bottino Take-Out - Their take out menu - Sandwiches Near Me - New York, New York

Their focaccia bread herbal mayo prosciutto combo is something I dream about on the daily Makes me salivate just thinking about it read more

This place is amazing! I stop by each time when I am in the neighborhood and grab a salad. The ingredients are more of a fancy restaurant style rather than a deli quality. Nice portions and excellent flavor. Take out doesn't have seating but you can eat at the cafe section of the Bottino restaurant! read more

You lose a star because I just wish I could eat in! But then they'd have to change their name. The bread is what you be able to get everywhere, it's fresh and there is about 5 different varieties. The ingredients are fresh and flavorful without being unhealthy and loaded with mayo. I'm a sucker for the #12 on Multi-grain. All of the sandwiches are around $7-$8 The latte is smooth as caramel. If you deserve a treat for a hard days work or you need/want to suck up to someone grab a bitter chocolate brownie. FABULOUS! To finish of this lavish of praise I'll add that they are super fast and all that work there seem to have a giggle with each other creating a really nice atmosphere. read more

I am very disappointed with the delivery I received yesterday. After ordering and giving many recommendations to the "take out Bottino" for years. On seamless they charge a $6 delivery fee! So I decided to call myself to order over phone (since I work right down the street). Thinking the fee wouldn't be applied. My $12 sandwich still came out to be $18 and some change. So they clearly still add the same delivery fee. I asked specifically for olive oil dressing on the side. When the bag came. Only the sandwich and a single napkin were inside. No dressing. Due to me being at work, I was extremely busy and could not leave. I call back the restaurant and nicely explain they made a mistake and forgot my dressing. The lady who answered the phone asked if I could come get it... and I say "I am working and am not able". After some side chatter with workers. She picks up to say "someone can bring it, can you give a few dollars?" This question confused me since I had already paid a $6 delivery fee and tipped the delivery man. I explain to her. She rudely says "fine I will have them bring it". And hangs up. I wait and wait... hours later. Still no delivery. And they never came... Normally I would never be a Karen. But this really rubbed me the wrong way. Such a high end restaurant and still not the best service. read more

I should've written my review after my first few visits, when they'd've gotten a solid 5 stars. Unfortunately, I'm writing now because this is the second time in a row I've gone and gotten a sammich that was good to go on one half, but just a tight lump of greens with a shred of meat/cheese on the other. Bummer. Considering they're specifically a takeout joint, I expect better (and used to get it!). read more

Bottino Take-Out - #17 on focaccia: other half was ok but this is ridiculous! - Sandwiches Near Me - New York, New York

I love coming here for lunch. The 9.5 sandwich is not to be missed. The salads aren't anything impressive - their balsamic salad dressing is sometimes too salty. If the line out the door doesn't convince you to come in, the fresh bread and baked good should! Their bread is always fresh and there is a wide assortment to select from for each sandwich. Their soups are also very good, and usually they have a dairy free and/or meat-free option. Given this part of Chelsea doesn't have many places to grab a quick lunch. this place is a standout. They also have the cash back feature with yelp! So make sure to register your card. read more

Take out: Best salads, food, soups, cookies in Chelsea. The Chicken dill salad is to die for! Get it almost every day. The staff is fabulous, Eric, Erica, Mario, Luis, Danny! Great place!!! Love it :) Restaurant: Ate at the "old" Bottino - not yeat since they renovated but will try! Go for it! read more

This is solely for my take-out sandwich at 6pm on a Monday.: The flavor was right, meat and ingredients perfectly balanced but the bread was stale. Seriously, I almost took out a tooth. Fortunately I have 27 other ones. read more

I basically never write Yelp reviews but I just have to give Bottino 5-stars. I've been coming here for lunch during the week for about a year now and it has been consistent EVERY TIME. They are so efficient and everything is so fresh and literally sliced to order. If you work or are visiting the area this is hands down the best spot to grab a sandwich or salad (ALSO THE SOUPS ARE AMAZING). read more

I love how the previous reviews were written by interns for the nearby art galleries because I am the Queen of Unpaid And Thankless Art Internships. Is getting free sandwiches from Bottino an acceptable form of payment for hours and hours of photocopying press kits? Kind of. Back then I used to pound one of their Roast Turkey Sandwiches on Multigrain Bread with Sun-Dried Tomatoes, Mayonnaise and Arugula ($7.25) and a large Vanilla Chai Latte in a single sitting while the other girls ("gallerinas," to use a slightly offensive term) picked at their salads. Back then I also weighed a good ten pounds heavier. Lesson learned: these sandwiches are life-changing, but also waistline-altering. Save one half for your dinner and you've unofficially been paid twice! Damn the man! read more

I like a dedicated take-out place with no option of sitting down. It takes streamlining to a new level because there is nothing to do inside the 50 square foot ordering area other than look, order, wait, pay and receive your food. There are countless sandwich and salad options and from the look and taste of everything, these options are freshly prepared even if already boxed for your quick enjoyment. I had a turkey sandwich which contained some fantastic sauce blend as its mayonnaise, but better than that is that from the time I ordered it to the time it was in my hand was less than three minutes. You get your choice of fresh bread and when you get your food, you leave. I don't even think they have drinks, but they do have a few tasty looking treats like chocolate chip cookies staring at you from a wicker basket as you pay for your lunch and softly consider what they would do to your waistline if you just added one*. In a troubled quick-lunch wasteland that is Chelsea, Bottino Take-Out seems to be the answer and at $7 for a sandwich, the prices are not off-putting. No sitting, no excess waiting - shoes and shirt required. __________________ * You were thinking this, not me. If I wanted one, I just would have gotten it. I would not think about it, just get in the bag cookie. read more

I have to agree this is one of the best, if not the best, sandwich places in NYC. I had the #3 (speck, mozzarella, tomato, basil) and #11 (grilled egg plant). Both were great, but I especially liked #3. The bread itself is fresh and tasty. This is what all other NY delis should be serving. You will taste the difference, like when you travel to France, Italy, or Spain and wonder why sandwiches are so tasty there but not at all in the US. Apple crisps were excellent too. read more

Bottino is officially the 'mayor' of my debit-card transactions. Between morning coffees, lunches, and the occasional 3pm cookie run, I've gotten a little swipe-happy at this spot. I hate traditional mayonnaise-y tuna salad, but the Tuscan Tuna is a whole other animal. Light and tangy with green beans, red onion, and capers. Its healthy, filling, delicious, and occupies my belly at least once a week. Other standouts are the grilled eggplant sandwich with goat cheese and a host of other veggies, the beet salad (the beetier the better for this reviewer), and they mix up a mean skim-latte. In this gastronomically desolate corner of Manhattan, Bottino is a beacon of house-made light in the #dark sea of Subways and Dunkin's. read more

I used to work on the west side for five years. I'm not kidding when I say that I went to Bottino's for lunch at least once a week. It's THAT good. My favorite was the #7, bresolla, havarti, and arugala with light olive oil on focaccia. It's unbelievable! The guys behind the counter are super rude. Think Soup Nazi from Seinfeld. Yeah, it's that bad. Even after five years they refused to acknoweldge me as a regular. But I stil give these five stars because sometimes you just have to overlook terrible service. #7 on focaccia!!! read more

Bottino is in a great location. The High Line entrance is just a block away so I usually get a salad or sandwich to-go and eat it on the High Line. It's great, perfect for my hour lunch break. I've been here couple times but I've only tried the #9 sandwich (Smoked Turkey, herbal mayo, tomato, greens). I just really liked how it tasted but I do want to try the 15: grilled chicken & avocado, herbal mayo, lettuce, tomato next. Their ingredients are fresh, love the greens and herbal mayo. Definitely recommend the sandwich over salad. But salad was pretty good as well. Portions are great, nice people, quick service. read more

I will admit I purely decided to try this place out b/c of the ratings on yelp and am happy to say that I was not disappointed. There was a bit of a line as I got there around 12:30 but it moved pretty quickly. I ordered the tuna sandwiched and chose the olive bread. Unfortunately when it came time to pay I looked closely at the bill,which was higher than I had expected and low and behold the cashier had charged me $.75 more. I know, it's only $.75 but I really don't like when merchants make those "errors" -- always in their favor. I pointed it out and after faining confusion, she efunded me the difference. The sandwich was fabulous - great tuna salad and really fabulous bread. Just be sure to check the amount on your check. read more

I used to work in the Chelsea area and, trust the reviews, THERE ARE NO PLACES TO EAT IN CHELSEA. Thank God for Bottino's Take Out. It's an oasis for West Chelsea people. It's a simple and small sandwich place that serves fresh food. But beware of the line during the summertime as sometimes it takes us 30 solid minutes to get our food. Though, it is a joy to watch them prepare the food. They're very efficient at what they do... either that or overstaffed. Anyway, the menu board is shown on one side of the wall so it's pretty easy to navigate your way through because they do explain the ingredients well on them. Recommendation: I usually get the 1, 2 or the #3 sandwich and ALWAYS get the bread pudding. Especially if they have CHOCO bread pudding... Coffee is good too. read more

OK, not great. If you're nearby then it's worth a try; but would never (again) go out of my way to specifically come here. The place is a big mess. Line loops whenever it pleases and there is no rhyme or reason to how the process is organized. A guy from way behind the counter is constantly screaming "next" and every customer has to scream their order over other people. It gets annoying after about 5 orders. Then once you pay and if your sandwich is not ready yet, you're yet again standing aimlessly by a wall waiting until someone calls you, who knows when. They don't take names so I guess let's hope you didn't order the same thing somebody else did. Also their online process are not updated and are misleading. Even twice the price on some times, like the iced tea which is $2 online but $4 in-store. read more

I work in Chelsea and don't get a lunch break. I usually bring lunch, but sometimes order from Bottino. Compared to other options, it's slightly more reasonable and good food. Is it anything special though? Certainly not. I only order for convenience. Today I had an extremely unpleasant experience and will likely never order again. I understand that they're busy, but their customer service is simply terrible. When you call you can hardly hear them, due to the noise and their speedy talking. They're unpatient and quick to get you off the phone. They messed up my order and when I called back to complain they claimed it was completely my fault and weren't the least bit sympathetic. I hope they get some competition because they don't deserve to be so busy. Oh! And one time they mis-delivered food to my office. When I, very nicely, told the delivery guy he needed to go across the street he gave me so much sass! I just saved him the trouble of dealing with an angry customer. Maybe next time I'll just take the food for myself! read more

A friend took me here and I had a veggie sandwich, which was very good...it tasted fresh and flavorful, especially for being a vegetarian sandwich. The bread was also great quality, which added to the overall flavor of the sandwich. I would definitely try this place again, but probably opt for a meat sandwich of some sort. read more

Fairly standard Italian style deli sandwiches. I wasn't too impressed with their baguettes, perhaps a sourdough roll or foccacia would've been better options. Their prosciutto was tasty though, as was their mozzarella. If you couldn't tell, I ordered the very last sandwich on the list. Supposedly it had some type of dressing over the arugula, but I really couldn't taste it. The chicken, avocado that my friend got looked tasty, I'm going to try that next time. You should pick up a sandwich here and eat it up on the highline's lawn, which is a block away. read more

Ordered a #4..... Spent $13 on a sandwhich, so have some expectations. I had 3; I actually counted; 3 slices of meat . 1 slice of cheese and a mound of lettuce. The meat was past its prime and smelled rotten. Would have been 3 stars even with the bad meat if there was a decent amount, this place is joke. Maybe their turkey and other meats are better, but Subway was better then this rip off. read more

I used to (surprise surprise) intern around here, and as other people previously mentioned, everyone at the gallery would order lunch from here (correction, I would order lunch for everyone at the gallery from here)! Honestly the most authentic Italian sandwhiches I have had in New York. I lived in Italy, and this is as good as it gets- and thats saying a lot! The ingredients are all fresh, their mozzarella is the perfect texture, the prosciutto is not super thick- it is thin as it should be, the avocados are always the perfect shade of green, and the arugula is super crisp . I've probably tried most of the items on the menu, but the standout ones are: 1. PROSCIUTTO di Parma and ASIAGO, Tomato, Arugula and Olive Oil - hearty, and you can taste the olive oil which is buttery and so tasty! 2. Smoked TURKEY, Herbal Mayo, Lettuces and Tomatoes - Very refreshing taste, perfectly crafted. 3. SMOKED PROSCIUTTO and MOZZARELLA, Tomato and Arugula - Traditional and great combination of ingredients, arugula gives it a great kick. 4. Baked HAM and BRIE, Honey Mustard, Lettuce and Tomato - Brie is the ultimate comfort food- hearty and refreshing all at once! I recommend the baguette bread- it has the right amount of crunch and also equals more sandwich square footage. Also, the herbal mayo is the most refreshing and delicious mayo I've ever tasted. I would often stand bewildered, unable to decide between a sandwich with prosciutto, mozzarella, or the herbal mayo. I was really sad when they fired me because I would not have the pleasure of eating these sandwhiches everyday anymore. :( read more

Not to be confused with Bottino restaurant (or ordering take-out from the restaurant), Bottino Take-out is a small but friendly sandwich, and salad cafe two doors down from the main restaurant. I though it best to differentiate Bottino Take-Out from Bottino Resturant While the location of the cafe pushes the West Chelsea borders (10th between 24th and 25th), the cafe was an awesome find this Saturday after a long bike ride. I live in the 555 west condo's on 23rd Street. We lack caf variety and its hard to find a quick take-out spots that are within walking distance. (Seamless is getting boring!!!!!!!!!!) Empire Diner is tricky about when they offer take-out or delivery, the Half King has great burgers but the wait is a problem. The closest reasonable grocery/cafe is on 23rd and 9th which is a far to walk after a long bike ride has plain jane sandwiches. Brownstein is the closest option (bottom on my building) but I like variety and hate being limited to a shop that is perpetually closed on Sundays. Thus, I'm pretty pumped about having a great sandwich and salad cafe option for Sunday (and Saturdays) that offering homemade sandwiches. The food is a nice blend traditional and more modern Italian sandwich options with prosiutto, salami, mozzarella, sliced pork loin, baked ham and brie, bresola and peccorine ... its a long list. Most sandwiches are offered on your choice of wheat, 7-grain, focaccia, and baguettes. I went with the slice pork loin and wasabi sandwich. The portion was ridiculous with plenty of pork, veggies and bread in every bite. If you dislike big bread sandwiches, I'd avoid the wheat option. Bottino Take-out also offers a variety of traditional salads - greek, caesar, chicken, etc but the mini marinated carrot/beat salad option looked (and tasted) better. They also offer a breakfast/brunch option with a variety of pastries and coffees. The cafe is a take-out spot with no seats. Pick-up, and enjoy a quick bite nearby at Chelsea Piers. I suggest the portion of the pier that crosses 25th street. Its slightly above Chelsea Piers and is the new home of the Frying Pan; plenty of benches and outdoors patio chairs for all. Two points for the food - selection, taste and price. One more point for being open on Sunday and close to my apartment. read more

Disorganized, overpriced, embarrassingly small amount of meat and even less cheese! Any old deli is infinitely better.

This is your best bet for a to-go lunch if you work west of 9th Avenue, specifically around the Starrett-Lehigh building, like I do. Their sandwich menu never disappoints. I have tried most of it, and I don't regret any of my choices. I would avoid their lattes and capuccinos, but they still get 5 stars. read more

I cannot believe that one of my favorite sandwiches of all time is vegetarian. The grilled eggplant with goat cheese, arugula and roasted red pepper (aka number 11, which I get on focaccia) tastes positively decadent. It is at once bright,peppery, and earthy all with a wonderful straight-off-grill taste. I usually order this because it's so hard to resist. They also have some of the best croissants in the city. All at reasonable prices. Amazing. Also shouts out to the really friendly staff behind the counter. read more

No, there might not be many options for lunch in West Chelsea (besides street meat and 'Wichcraft), I think I'd still eat at Bottino's even if I had 50 options to choose from. Everything is fresh, authentic, and made to order. The fresh mozzarella is incredible... I could dive face-first into their tray of freshly-cut mozz and die happy. The salads and sandwiches are divine. The fancy lemonades are delicious and inventive (strawberry watermelon or ginger mint - both totally fresh and phenomenal). It's definitely worth the 2-avenue-walk and $10. read more
