    two sub sandwiches on a plate
    Matthew S.

    Feh! Another Pisillo wannabe but you ain't gonna be Pisillo because you are NOT Pisillo! What sets Pisillo apart from all the other Italian sandwich shops in New York City is their authenticity. Short of Parisi, no other comparable sandwich shop has their meats imported from the old country, their breads from the old country, their cheeses from the old country. Here, everything is from New York bakeries, butcher shops, and produce markets. While not a bad thing, it loses me because real deal Italian products from Italy taste much better, even if it does cost more. The sandwich comes with a lot of meat, and the meat is good. Unfortunately, the bread is on the softer side. There is little to crunchiness, little to no resistance. It felt like it was too over proofed. As I mentioned in a previous Yelp review, the bread is what binds a sandwich together. A tasty bread brings it all together nicely, even if the meat is just okay. A lousy bread undoes it all, even if the meat is tasty. Bread on these sandwiches need to work, or you just call it an antipasto salad and call it a day. With that, I will stick with Pisillo for that authentic Italian vibe. This is not a bad sandwich, but not the best for value.

    Wow, this little hole in the wall hits the mark. Just walking distance from the court house making it the perfect spot for downtown lawyers, jurors, and others. Let's dive in .... Venetto (5/5): This sandwich is pretty much everything I wanted. The bread came out warm, fresh, and soft. The avo, normally the king of all things millennial was fresh, but I was more taken aback by the roasted red pepper and artichoke. The arugula and house vinaigrette tie it so nicely together. I added fresh motz for $2 more and it all felt whole. Service (5/5): Quick service, brought me the food. Super friendly and helpful when ordering. TL;DR: A major win for City Hall and Downtown Manhattan. Affordable bite to eats are hard to find here. If I'm in the area would absolutely return.

    A great place to get a sandwich in the area. There are many options including vegetarian ones. The smoked chicken is thinly sliced and the mozzarella is fresh.

    I visited Chipilo on a Monday. Overall service was good and quick - I had my sandwich within 2 minutes of ordering. The staff was also very friendly. The sandwich itself was a bit bready - I got the Chipileno and they were a bit stingy with the Prosciutto. The meat to bread ratio was not ideal. The dressing did taste nice and the bread was very fresh. Overall good service, but the sandwich itself was just average.

    Small high quality Italian sandwich shop. Excellent ingredients which are fresh and assembled to order. I usually get the whole size (vs. half) which can be a bit pricey depending on what you choose. Bread is usually fresh but have had a couple instances where it wasn't as fresh as I'd hoped. I tend to go with the sfilatino. They are happy to customize which is nice, I like their hot spread so often add it. All in all a fantastic option in the area if you're craving an Italian sandwich.

    Solid sandwich served swiftly, friendly staff. Appreciated that they wouldn't give the person ahead of me an unripe avocado. Good lunch option for those near the courts.

    Love the quality of the breads, the contents and the nice service. However its pricey for a sandwich. Small hole in the wall place with maybe 5 seats. Half sandwiches run around $8-9 dollars and full is around $14 depending on what you order. Got the full Massimo (ham, olives, artichoke and smoked mozzarella) and I was hoping to eat it as 2 separate meals. I didnt last 2 hours before I devoured the other half. a delicious sandwich sitting right next to me will never last.

    Stopped by on a hot evening to see what has become of what used to be Sharkey. Was surprised to see that another business was in operation already. Decided to pop in and give the sandwiches a try. I decided on the Stefano (smoked chicken, smoked mozzarella, roasted peppers, arugula, hot spread). The sandwich itself is pretty big. I didn't measure it, but I'd say it's probably a foot-long. First complaint. When I unwrapped my sandwich back home, it was uncut. I mean, it's not a big deal but what reason is there to not cut a sandwich that long? Would someone really pick up the whole foot and start chowing down? Also, the bread it is on is a very basic whole wheat (I think) bun. The bread was a bit dry actually. On first bite, my thought was where's the hot spread?? Upon inspection, there is SOME sort of sauce in the sandwich. I couldn't tell you what, but it sure wasn't hot sauce. Not even a hint of spiciness. Overall, unimpressive. The sandwich was super basic. Way too expensive. Came out to be $14 and change after taxes. I miss Sharkey's Cafe :(

    Imported meats only! Cut at the moment by the man himself (Manolo). Very cool staff!!

    The place is great!! Sandwiches made to perfection :) I'm a huge fan of my sandwiches but I'm a little picky with my food, so I hate it when I go to the store and they only have turkey ham and w.e but no pork so being able to go somewhere, where you can look at the menu and everything seems good it's not something I see every day. The people are so nice and friendly that when I asked if they had mayo because I didn't see it at all they said they'll get me some. So that's something I truly look for in a place. Great service, great food and my next must go to spot for sandwiches.

Decor/actual restaurant: This particular location is very small and tight with limited in-store seating. The interior is cute, I like the blue color theme they have here. For a restaurant designed for to-go orders, I believe that there could be more waiting room and a couple less chairs. Service: Like many "fast food adjacent" restaurants, the people who work there have good customer service but I imagine deal with the worst. I know they're doing great with the situation they're in. Kudos to them. Food: this is probably my harshest critique. I ordered a pesto chicken sandwich, and it was fine. I don't believe it was worth the $16 I spent though. The chicken was kind of bland, tasted similarly to frozen grilled chicken pieces you buy from a grocery store. I do wish there was more sauce. The pesto tasted good but overall there was too much bread. I fear you would be better off making something like this at home for a comparable price. The bread was good, just too much. I don't want to base the menu on this sandwich alone, a lot of the menu options sounded delicious, but this was just the experience I had!

    ((4.5 stars)) Sunny…read moreand Annie's is very much a 24/7 neighborhood gem of a corner store and deli. it's packed with packaged foods--candy, chips, cookies, ice cream, soft drinks, beer, and a lot more plus the deli counter serves ups an endless list of creative sandwiches. i am not going to say this place is cramped but it kinda is. for example, if people stand in the wrong areas of the store, it will cause a complete standstill of a traffic jam in the store. my advice: order from the deli (and stand somewhere people aren't trying to get to) or grab whatever you need, pay, and leave. this place is not a place to linger. keep it moving. anyway, the obvious draw of Sunny & Annie's is the endless list of sandwiches that are handwritten cards that are stuck outside glass of the deli counter. there is literally something for the pickiest eaters--from hot sandwiches, cold sandwiches, wraps, and more. some sandwiches are named celebrities, politicians, etc. i have ordered a bunch of different sandwiches and have not made it through much of the menu. you can also create your own Frankenstein monster of a sandwich. while the sandwiches are a big part of the draw, the insane amount of snack foods crammed into the store is quite remarkable from the large stand of Doritos, Takis, Cheetos and other popular branded snack foods in the front to the separate stand of Wise snacks to an entire back corner of the store filled with all kinds of chips, popcorn, etc. imo, Sunny's has the freshest-tasting Smartfood Cheddar Popcorn. i know an insane take consider it's a packaged popcorn snack from a megacorp (PepsiCo), but i'll die on this hill. maybe it's cause Sunny's sells a lot of Smartfood popcorn so it gets refreshed often, maybe they have a secret in/pipelinbe from the factory, or it's just magic/alchemy. i don't know, but the Smartfood Cheddar Popcorn never tastes stale-ish like it does at grocery stores, the bags never feel deflated because they have been on shelf long, and the popcorn never has that soft mouthy feel but still has the crunch to it. maybe it's just me, but Sunny's serves a great list of sandwiches...AND the freshest Smartfood Cheddar Popcorn. beyond the snacks, the service from the deli to cashier is upbeat and friendly. in all seriousness, Sunny and Annie's is an Avenue B institution at this point and remains a charming family-owned store--and is NOT a sterile modern clone of a neighborhood business.

    Huge sandwiches. Would recommend eating on a roll vs a wrap only because a wrap falls apart more…read moreeasily. Lots of flavors going on. Expected there to be a more accurate pho-palette, but the fusion is fun and appetizing nonetheless.

Cut in 4 Here's the deal. The service is very professional. Takes a minute because they're extremely busy if you visit during the lunch hours. If you're a foodie and enjoy the view of fresh meats, cheeses, salads, breads, and sandwiches being made fresh..... then the ambiance was bliss. The fact it was in a common neighborhood made it even more enjoyable of a visit! Now to the sandwich..This sandwich itself DEFINITELY lives up to the hype! It really is the REAL DEAL!! Maybe they should change the name to "Da Bomb", because it's that's good! However, through no fault of anyone, this is the learning experience I take back for my next visit: 1) Extra lettuce, tomatoes, onions, hot peppers. Potato Salad IF extra hot peppers! 2) Bring reusable containers for your sandwich, especially if you're not going home/ hotel right away. Next visit, which will be my next visit to NYC, I intend to try the roast beef and turkey hero, extra lettuce, tomatoes, onions, hot peppers. Overall, I still rate 5/5. They do a fantastic job here. Service is awesome, food is fresh, and the amount of food they offer for the price is well worth it. Definitely worth visiting again and again!!

Arrived just after 3:00 pm and was eligible for their Happy Hour, which consists of 1/2 price if your coin-flip comes up. Mine did! I ordered the Buffalo Chicken Sub...baked chicken cutlet, buffalo sauce, blue cheese, pickled carrots and celery, lettuce, tomato, dairy-free avocado ranch. Along with Defonte's, Brennen & Carr, Salt Hank's, and various Little Italy Prosciutto/Tomato/Mozzarella heroes, the best sandwich I've ever experienced. The Buffalo Chicken Sub chicken is baked, not fried. It's a true flavor jolt. Every ingredient works. I can't wait to try their other sandwiches. Going back today for the Turkey Meatball Sub. Somehow, even better is the staff and service...all 5-star. The interior is really clean and comfortable. And a side note...every woman that comes through their doors is friendly and attractive.
