The coffee is the star as it's very reasonably priced and tastes great. No matter your preference on how or the kind of coffee/espresso drink you like, they'll be able to meet your expectations.

Only downside is wish they were open earlier on certain mornings

I've been going on and off for awhile now. It basically feels like a cross between a classic…read moreItalian deli and an upscale bodega. One of the few places around you can get an actually good croissant! I occasionally indulge in the mac & cheese as well. They have an array of fancy-ish sandwiches and entrees. I haven't had a lot of their menu, but they briefly had pizza (maybe they still do?). That I cannot recommend. It was basically a frozen grandma pie with little to no sauces and very thick bread. For a place like this, I was surprised that the liquor prices. are actually better than many of the straight up liquor stores in the area. Interesting craft beer selection that rotates. The beer is actually pricier by comparison than the booze. But it all depends on your taste. I love their beer selection when it's heavy on the IPAs, but when they go heavy on the sours I get a bit sour...

Colombian food? Never had it, so I had to stumble into El Carretero to try it! Bandejo Paisa was…read morethe one recommended to me - nearly $28 now, but I had to do it for the experience! For starters, they speak minimal English here, so make sure to know some Spanish, be ready to point, or have Google Translate on hand. Within the Bandejo Paisa, the grilled skirt steak was thin and tough, a little hard to cut. The skirt steak was well seasoned though a bit too tough. The beans and rice? Oh, they were amazing! Not sure what's in them, but I did not see myself enjoying beans and rice so much. The slice of avocado and a fried egg were also delicious and unexpected, especially in the current times (*ahem* cost). Now for the plantain, it was enjoyable, but the main star of the show, the pork belly tasted candied, sticky, and reminded me of chincharrones. If you enjoy a fatty pork belly, then you'll definitely enjoy this main. Otherwise, you may stray away from it like I did. Overall, I think it was a good experience, but I wish that there was a more descriptive menu for those who don't know as much Spanish.

Now that au jous with the fresh bread made this sandwich really happen. Had to dip it, let the bread soak it up and take the bite. So flavorful and delicious. Tried a bite without a dip, still ok. But you gotta do the dip. Moderate price for excellent quality and was informed these sandwiches are only available on Thursdays and Saturdays. Well worth it!!!!

We were in the neighborhood running some errands and I really wanted a sandwich. Google led me to…read moreFiore's, where I found out they had a roast beef and mozz sandwich on Thursdays and Saturdays. We came in around 1:30pm on Saturday and there was a line, but I didn't wait longer than 20 minutes. There's really no menu on site, so you can kind of just listen to what people are ordering and figure out what sounds good. Originally, I was going to get two sandwiches, but I saw the size of them and decided we really only needed one full one. I got the gravy on the size, which I definitely recommend if you're going to be eating it even just a little bit later. This worked well for us, as we had about a 20 minute drive home. The mozz was fantastic and so was the roast beef. I would come back just to order both by the pound. I didn't love the bread, so I think my next step would be to just buy all the ingredients myself and then provide my own bread at home. Service was very prompt and friendly.

The texture is spot-on...perfectly tender chicken folded into a creamy, dreamy dressing that's rich without being heavy. Every bite is packed with flavor: a little tang, a hint of savory seasoning, and just the right amount of crunch to keep it interesting. It's the kind of chicken salad that feels comforting but still bright enough to stand alone on a plate or piled high on toast, crackers, or greens. Simple, flavorful, and incredibly well-balanced...honestly, it's one of those dishes you keep going back for spoonful after spoonful. If you love a creamy, flavorful chicken salad, this one checks every box.

Always great, never misses. Quick as hell too. Lot's of choice, great quick breakfast spot.read more

I've lived in or been visiting NYC since the 60s and never noticed this place. I peeked in and saw that it looked authentic. I made a mental note to come back when dinner time rolled around. I looked over the menu and ordered their namesake, the Cappone: Capicola, Soppressata, Salami, Provolone, Arugula, Mozzarella, Hot Peppers. I asked which bread they recommended (seeded loaf) and went with that. It was an exemplary sandwich. Plus it was enough for 2 meals! I cannot recommend them high enough. 100 stars!

If you like italian sandwiches definitely check this place out. I think after trying several italian sandwich spots I don't think it's necessarily for me but the meatball sub was tasty and definitely worth the money. It's a small mom and pop shop vibe inside and you can order ahead which is great because sometimes the line gets really long especially on the weekends. The people were nice. It's close to a park so you can eat outside with a coffee and enjoy a quick lunch. It's nice to have a place that is a little more no-frills in the west village and you can pick it up on a lazy weekend, in the middle of a workday, etc.
