This is a nice little Italian delicatessen. I found parking across the street and the staff was very welcoming. It's small and their menus are posted on the wall. It a pick up and go kind of place. There is not space to enjoy your meal. They offer hot foods, wraps, salad, paninis and a ton of Italian specialty sandos. I wanted something light since I would be eating dinner shortly after. My daughter takes a class nearby so this was a perfect spot to run out and grab something to nosh while I waited. I opted for a Greek Salad and subbed the mozz for parm instead. I wish I requested a different dressing because all I received was balsamic vinegar without any olive oil and that was a bit too strong for my liking. I also ordered a muffaleta hero because I've been dying to try one. It was OK. I wish they were heavier handed with the olive tapenade. I would definitely order again with more of that yummy olive and maybe some mayo as well. They also have a small amount of Italian products for sale, including truffle oils and preserves. I grabbed a few drinks for the road. The prices were reasonable, considering the location. Its good to know they are close if I'm every feeling peckish. I would visit again. read more

The best sandwich spot in all of Westchester. A true staple of the community. Their service is exceptional and they are open early so that you can grab a sandwich before the morning train. My favorite sandwich they have I created myself. It's called the "sliced edge" it is a healthier version of their famous Cutting Edge sandwich. The sliced edge substitutes the breaded chicken cutlet for grilled chicken and melted mozzarella on a whole wheat panini. It is a bit narrow entering and it is encouraged that you call in your orders ahead of time so that it is ready for you by the time you get there. This place can get very busy at lunch time because most people looking for a good sandwich will come here. read more

I ordered a delivery for a friend who was ill, and everything came piping hot, deliciously prepared, and exactly as I had specified in the order. read more

I like the crazy and the IX Tapa. But I'd rather go to another deli and get a comparable sandwich for half the price.

This is my favorite deli in Scarsdale. I buy my meatballs and fresh bread there every chance I get. They are highly addictive, so be careful. Their meatballs are like Lays Potato Chips, you can't eat just one. Also, they have an amazing and pleasing staff that always go above and beyond in addition to being so friendly and helpful. Also, their homemade mozzarella balls are to die for. read more

Please open a second Buon Amici in DC!! Every Christmas my family orders huge platters of Italian food from Buon Amici: the house special chicken, chicken parm, meat lasagna, vegetable lasagna, sautéed greens, salads, antipasto etc. This year, everything was amazing as usual, though the penne vodka did not have enough sauce. It sat pretty much untouched. But all in all, this is my favorite Italian feast Christmas Eve dinner. You can just call ahead, and your order will be ready. Park outside, and they will carry out the platters and help you put them in your car. At home, just heat and serve! read more

After finishing a traumatic kids haircut next door, I thought it'd be a good idea to hit the strategically placed Italian deli next door. With just enough room for the counter and a bit of ordering space, Buon Amici is cozy to say the least. Counter guys were super friendly which is a big plus, especially since Italian delis aren't exactly famous for their niceties. Good to break that stereotype! Got the Michaelangelo which includes proscuitto, fresh mozzarella, tomato and olive oil. I've had a lot of versions of this sandwich, and while not terrible, this was not my favorite. The portion of proscuitto was downright skimpy, the mozzarella might not have been that fresh as it didn't have a ton of flavor, and the bread was pretty average. Tomato and olive oil were good though. Some balsamic vinegar would've salvaged things to a degree, and I'm confused why they don't have that included by default. It was a totally fine sandwich and on the cheaper end for $14, but this could've been much better even for that $. My wife got the mufalata and said it was fine. I'm in the area once in awhile, so will give it another shot at some point. Chicken cutlets looked great. read more

I really don't have much to say more than I have already said about this place. It's absolutely amazing and every time I come it blows my mind and the staff go out of their way to make sure everything is phenomenal which it always is. Top 5 All around classic delicatessen right now in my life. read more

The Bambino oh man oh man 10/10! The staff is very warm and knows customer services. Fresh ingredients and big panini sandwiches, getting your moneys worth. read more

A real Italian deli with all the delicacies of Italy! Excellent fresh food, a real broad variety of items and super delicious sandwiches, especially their unique paninis! Set back from the main drag for convenient parking in a high traffic area is a bonus. It does get crowded around lunch, and feels a bit like an obstacle course inside. Perhaps more counter help would keep the customers flowing better? Hate the wait, but worth it in the end! read more

Doing a brisk business despite the pandemic. Both of the guys making sandwiches had their masks below their noses. Disappointing, but people don't care about being inconvenienced. Minus one star. My daughter had the Americano, which she loved. Normally I would have ordered a chicken hero, but i have been eating too much of it. I had the Buon Amici hero. It was enormous- big enough for two. I surrendered after half. It has a ton of cold cuts, cheese and peppers. The bread was not too crusty and not too squishy, just right for a big ass sandwiches. This place deserves it's recognition in the Scarsdale lunch pantheon. The employees need to adhere to public health guidelines. read more

I honestly rate this like a 3.5. The only reason I don't just give it a 3 is because the man at the register is very lovely and kind. He is very genuine and even though it's a small interaction he has so much joy. The chicken cutlet was pretty bland and over priced. I can get the same sandwich for 6$ at the bodega and it would taste way better. The sandwich I got was overpriced, and greasy, lacking in flavor. I'm not sure how it has such good reviews. For 13$ I was really disappointed and my stomach hurt after . Looked better than it tasted read more

Buon Amici Delicatessen - Cutlet - Delis Near Me - Scarsdale, New York

SOOOOO SOOOOO good. I've never had a bad experience here. Omggg their jalapeño cheddar bread is no joke! Sandwiches might be a little pricey for a deli but definitely definitely worth It read more

Best panini in all of westchester. I love going through the menu and getting a new sandwich each week because they are always amazing.

I recently attended a function catered by Buon Amici. Westchester has an overwhelming number of Italian restaurants and eateries, and despite being neighbors with NYC I've only found a few of them that truly deliver the goods. The function was small, so I really only sampled their chicken francese, roasted vegetables, and rice balls. Chicken francese is kind of a played out Italian dish - it's almost on the same level as chicken parm. However, I was impressed - it had good flavor and they made the cutlets nice and thin which I appreciated. It also wasn't overly oily which can easily happen with a dish like this. The vegetables had good flavor as well; it mostly contained fibrous veggies like broccoli and cauliflower - but for someone like me who doesn't like the latter I found myself enjoying the entire mix. I've had better rice balls - they were the large kind which is fine but I found them to be a little dry and lacking flavor. Overall Buon Amici has piqued my interest. Reviews on this page are really encouraging and rave about their speciality sandwiches, so I may have to trot over to Scarsdale and check them out in person. read more

Best white bean chicken chili I've ever tasted! Just the right amount of spice & amazing flavor!

Best food in Scarsdale, hands down. Staffed by some of the nicest people, who are attentive and efficient-especially given the crowds the place draws on weekends. read more

This place is and will always be one of my favorites. John and the gang are always welcoming, and do a great job of making quality food. I should really do a review on each of the sandwiches as there so many great ones to choose from. Most of the sandwiches are Panini style, they are not the biggest, but a sandwich will fill up most people. The wraps are also good, and I like the salads as well. To name a few of my favorites in no particular order: Stoli - Chicken parm with vodka sauce. A nice variation of a classic. Get it with prosciutto and you won't be disappointed. Roma - Classic Italian Panini, probably better than what you would find in Italy. Parma - Even more classic than the Roma, for those who truly appreciate parmigiano reggiano. Draft - Pepperoni and chicken cutlet with ranch and caramelized onions. I've never had a combo like that, but it is great. Crazy - Even crazier combination - chicken cutlet, bacon, pastrami, mozzarella, pesto, and hot sauce. Got to try it at least once. Ixtapa - I did save the best for last. This is my hand down favorite. Chicken Cutlet, Bruschetta, Monterey Jack, Avocado, Chipotle Mayo on Jalapeno Popper Roll. This sandwich is unique as the bread is not regular Panini bread. The bread has cheese and jalapenos baked right in. (Tip - you can get that bread with any sandwich if you want to spice things up) This sandwich has so much flavor. It really can't be beat. Get it with bacon or prosciutto and you have yourself a hit. Other things to try are the nutella paninis, with or without cheese. Also have a nutella with cheese and bacon which is good. But if you really want a dessert sandwich get the nutella with walnuts. Its something I made up one day, and eventually John put it on the board. Which leads me to the last reason I love this place. They are always willing to make whatever you want. John is always looking to try something new. If you are ever in the area, you need to make a stop at Buon Amici. You won't be disappointed. read more

The food is 5 stars for a deli. My spawn fancies their sandwiches so I go about once a week. I never tire of their asking for "the Borat" followed by a string of fomites and other inedible, if not repulsive, fare. Like the village idiot, once I asked for it, and I was glared at. I've had salads, sandwiches and a sampling of other sundry gustatory samplings. Awesome! The bread is perfect, the meats seemingly fresh --as compared to freshened up--and the salads more inspired than you might expect. But don't expect to eat too much on site--no seats, zero. There is almost no room to walk. Maybe 2 feet of walk space, maybe. If you can't hand hold your edible and quickly eat it than it's not overly wise to start something you won't be able to finish. It's only a matter of time before someone will try to pass you, and irrespective of it being their girth or yours, expect your toothsome sandwich to unhappily end up on the floor. I had to pull in my stomach and turn side ways to do-si-do past a dawdling patron. So, is it worth the sinewy traverse of the razor thin walk space. Yes. 100%. The food is delectable. 5 stars. The ambience and logistical realities, though, dilute the score. read more

First time here, place was very busy and I am sure my sandwiches are fantastic however why are you charging a service fee to use a debit card? Affluent area and a busy business. You do not need to charge a service charge to use a card. Sure this would be a 5 star rating if not for this issue read more

Been going here for years!! They are so fast and make the sandwiches. I live in Brooklyn but every time I am home I swing by here.

Been going there since high school! The quality does not change! Their 007 sandwich is one of the best pastrami sandwiches I have ever had in my life!! It's a sandwich that must not be missed and get them early bc they do run out!! read more

So good! Great Italian deli with a ton of unique and creative sandwiches and paninis. My person favorite is the 007 which has chicken cutlet, fresh mozzarella, bacon, bbq sauce, and hot sauce. Prices are fair and everything is consistently delicious. They also have hot food, and while I have never ordered any it looks so good! Great place to check out while in Scarsdale. read more

I was sent here to get the 007 and it did not disappoint. The bread was great but the real differentiator was the mozzarella. It really changed the whole sandwich. I was told to get spicy ranch on the side and I feel that the sandwich was great with or without the ranch but the ranch was still very good on its own. read more

Our family loves this place! Call ahead and it's a quick in and out. Fresh delicious daily specials. Nice selection of Italian foodie goodies too. Great staff. Never disappoints. read more

The best deli in all of Westchester and New York. Been coming here for nearly ten years now, starting with lunch runs for their amazing paninis in high school. High school friends and I still always go if we meet up in Scarsdale.. It's just that good that Scarsdale doesn't seem complete without getting a panini there. You can't go wrong with any of them. Personal favorites are the Burrata, 008, or 009. Owner is meticulous and every product produced shows it, truly the best for pretty much everything I've had there. Guys behind the counter too are also super helpful and never seem to miss a beat. Everyone and everything at Buon Amicis are just best! read more

One of the best delis in all of Westchester. The owner really cares about the quality of what he's serving -- he even sells top-quality pastas and grains and will happily recommend cool recipes for you to make at home on your own. They get very, very busy, but when there's a moment to breathe the owner is a very nice guy to connect with. And he offers so much more than sandwiches -- every day there are specials like cutlets with marsala, meatballs, fregula, farro, etc. I highly recommend. read more

It is very good. Nice owner. The prices are out of control. The portions turn out to be small. It is better to just go to Moscato and do a take out. Dante's on Central Avenue is much better, the sandwiches are a much better value. All and all it is a decent place. read more

This is a great deli to grab a lunch to eat on the train or for any occasion. The catering is also a very appealing option. The workers are extremely friendly, and if you go in there 2 or 3 times a week, they will take very good care of you. I would reccomend the chicken bruschetta. absolutely phenomenal read more

This is by far the best deli I have ever been to. No, it's not a Jewish deli, so don't expect typical Boar's Head sandwiches like turkey breast or roast beef. This place is an ITALIAN deli. And only the finest food comes out of Italy! All of the guys working their are natives of Italy and are some of the friendliest people around. They really put their hearts and souls into making the food. All of their mozzarella is soooo fresh! And their paninis will fill you up and put a smile on your face. If you go there, I recommend: 007 (Panini: Chicken cutlet, hot sauce, BBQ sauce, mozzarella, bacon), or the Bruschetta (chicken cutlet, mozzarella, chipotle mayo, tomato bruschetta). WARNING: This place is take-out or delivery ONLY. There are NO TABLES, so don't come here if you are looking for a sit down meal. read more

Fantastic take-out deli. Ordered for the first time today. I got the "007" sandwich. On the 007 is chicken cutlet, mozzarella cheese, bacon, hot sauce, and BBQ sauce. But the part that made the sandwich for me was the bread! One of the best sandwiches I've had in a while... definitely recommend. read more

Went to get a quick lunch, guy originally who was helping me, gave me a nice size portion of pasta marinara and 2 chicken pieces, and then another guy walked over and made him change the chicken cutlets to smaller ones, I mean, who does that, so rude in front of a paying customer and it was not cheap! $15.65. Wont be back here unless they make it right. This is not some expensive meat here and there is no reason to be so stingy, ruined my meal with how I was treated read more

The Bambino is my favorite, it has chicken cutlet, bruschetta, arugula, mozzarella & balsamic. Refreshing and not too heavy. Some of the other sandwiches I've had can be a bit much and too heavy, but overall they do a great job. HUGE selection of sandwiches grilled panini and wraps. Nice people. read more

Best Italian paninis/wedges in westchester county. Nice and friendly staff who go out of their way to get to know their customers. Not very common these days. Call ahead to avoid the wait. Must try their specialty sandwiches: ixtapa and bruschetta. read more

I no longer work in the area so I am really missing out on these sandwiches- one day I was craving something a little different and the guy behind the counter said he'd make me something special. Out came a sandwich with egg whites, mozzarella, and broccoli rabe. It was heaven. I will never forget it. Great for special sandwiches, not the plain old deli meats! read more

Had the Crazy Panini... chicken cutlet, bacon, pastrami, mozzarella, hot sauce, pesto and chipotle mayo. One of the best sandwiches I've ever had. Place is clean, had great looking hot dishes and a very large menu of sandwiches. Definitely going back. read more
