I got the penne and meatballs for dinner with MealPal. The penne was not too cooked despite having survived shopping at Fairway and my commute home. The meatballs are pretty decent, but I have made better ones with a recipe I got online for best meatballs ever. If you are on the UES and need to redeem your MealPal credits, this is a good choice to try once. The guy who worked there was nice and at my request allowed me to try the truffle sauce they sold there for $20 for a large container. I guess this is what they use for truffle pasta. However, there is no way I could use all of it in 7 days so I didn't buy it. The sauce was pretty trufflely. read more

Panineria - Pasta with Beef Meatballs and Tomato Sauce, basil and parmigiano - Sandwiches Near Me - New York, New York

The eggplant parm was over $20 and it definitely was not worth $20. There was barely any eggplant, it was tiny, arugula was overwhelming, and also I paid extra for a baguette but the whole thing was compressed and the bread was very hard to chew. It was to the point I don't even know if it was the right order. The truffle pasta was dry and barely had any sauce. The flavor of the truffle mushroom pasta, pesto and arabiatta were good but the portions were so small given the cost. The containers were not even filled, only partially. These are photos and the pasta after we ate just two noodles only out of each container. Also I paid for garlic bread but it is more like pita read more

This place was such a letdown! I got the sandwich with mortadella, burrata, and pistachios on ciabatta and simply did not enjoy it. The ciabatta bread tasted factory-made and the sandwich overall could have used some sort of seasoning or something. Just was disappointed. Having foccacia might have made it better but I was not willing to pay $5 extra for that... read more

This place is pretty good! I normally just come for a quick pickup lunch when I'm working from home and I'm happy to have this in the area as an option. It's a super small restaurant, so I wouldn't expect to sit here or do work for a significant period of time, given that most of the space is taken up by the kitchen. I've only ever had super quick interactions with the staff because I'm grabbing pick up orders, but the fact that the service is quick is really nice. They have a great selection of authentic and unique sandwiches, pastas, and salads. This time, I opted for the portofino sandwich ($11) which has cooked ham, fontina cheese, and fig jam, and evoo. While simple, this sandwich is very good. The bread was fresh and I always love the cheese/jam combo. I also think that given the size, the food is priced well. A good Italian find on the UES. read more

Best sandwiches in New York City. Best bread, every sandwich is made with love. Can't go wrong with the classic Parma sandwich or any other item on the menu. A place I come often and worth traveling to. read more

Got the chance to stop by Panineria recently with some friend and I was pleasantly surprised. They know how to make a good sandwich. There weren't too many seats inside but enough for me and my friends. They had one table outside. Hospitality was fantastic. Pepe does a great job running the place. Their peach lemonade was amazing. I ended up getting the Valtellina Sandwich which was great. The quality of food was what sold me. It was like a little Italy in the shop. Everything and one felt authentic. I like the way they have images of all their menu items so you can get a good look at what you're getting. Look forward to going back. read more

We stopped by Panineria as I wanted to use my Classpass points to purchase a sandwich and this shop came with high reviews. Shop is very tiny, barely a table to sit at as it is always so crowded. Staff were very nice! We wanted to grab an eggplant sandwich to go and sadly it did not match up to what I was expecting. First, the slice of eggplant was so thin, it was literally one thin slice with a slice of cheese and arugula. It just did not satisfy my craving for eggplant parm hero. The ratio of eggplant to bread was not what I was expecting. When I get eggplant parm hero, I expect to bite into slices of eggplant, but this was not the case. However, I did enjoy the bread very much and liked this eggplant was not breaded! So it felt like a healthier version. But overall, if I had to pay $17 for this sandwich, it would definitely be worth it for me. read more

Panineria - American - Sandwiches Near Me - New York, New York

Just go. Who doesn't love a good Italian sandwich shop? But even amongst the authentic ones, some are just better than others. We stumbled into Panineria for lunch after it recently opened. Giuseppe was manning the counter and was a true gem. He told us about their commitment to only authentically imported Italian ingredients. We've heard this before, but here, you can really taste it in every single ingredient. We created our own sandwich -- spicy sopresetta, fresh Mozz, marinated mushrooms, roasted peppers, balsamic glaze and pesto on lightly toasted baguette. It was a hard 10 and possibly the single best Italian sandwich I've ever had. Why? Every ingredient was its own star of the show. The bread was fresh and crunchy and perfectly toasted. The sopresetta was delicious, not overly salted or spiced, and not overly rationed (some sandwiches you have to take half the meat off). Mozz was delicious. Peppers and mushrooms were both flavorful and wonderfully marinated. Balsamic and pesto were both high quality and delicious. The proportions across all ingredients were just perfect. After our lunch, Giuseppe treated us to their house made cannoli. Again -- best I've had. Splurge for them, even if it's only lunchtime. Super crunchy and delicious shell, perfectly balanced cream filling, a real treat. I'll be back here soon and recommend you give it a try. Super super delicious!! read more

The baguette bread is the best I've tasted and the meat is so clean it's all about quality. This is not cheap sandwich this is one of indulgence I'd rather spend a little extra and get the fresh clean organic ingredients. I highly recommend read more

Molto buono. Stopped by this place after wanting to for a while. Fast, friendly service and the best part was the delicious panini. I had the Peppe on ciabatta slightly warmed. Prosciutto, fresh mozzarella, basil, thin sliced tomatoes and olive oil. Bread was super fresh and I ate the entire thing, I couldn't help myself it was so good. Get a real panino here. read more

Okay so I found this place on a random instagram ad and it looked good, so I decided to stop in since I live in the neighborhood. They have a couple of locations and very passionate, friendly Italian owners. Shout out to Peppe working at the counter today, seems like an awesome guy. I came here for the first time yesterday and it was so good I came back today. Yeah. There is dedication to authenticity and quality ingredients and this place is WAY more than just a neighborhood lunch spot. MEATBALLS PANINI First of all the bread is perfect. It's got this beautiful, hearty crunch, and underlying chewiness. The meatballs are cut in half, and are in this savory fresh tomato sauce. The arugula adds freshness and the slices of parmesan cheese are sharp and add extra umami. Tender, flavored meatballs are honored in this sandwich. It's not like a "meatball sub," which are typically overly greasy, oily and just a mess. This is like a meatball sandwich graduated. I'm still thinking about it and so happy that this place is near me. Will def be going back. HOMEMADE PEACH LEMONADE I'm a sucker for a lemonade, especially a flavored one. The peach flavor is nice and strong, the drink itself thicker than a traditional lemonade (like peach nectar) and even a bit sour, which is to my liking. ICED CAPPUCCINO Bonus points for keeping the foam over an iced cappuccino. Great pick-me up to go with the sandwich. Wishing this place all the success. They have multiple locations and hope this one sticks around for a long time! read more

Pictures don't do justice but man oh man were the sandwiches here amazing! Both the ciabatta and the onion focaccia were amazing breads both light and soft. The Torre Del Greco was a hot roasted pork sandwich and mushrooms and while it was so simple it was just packed with deep flavor. The Cremona sandwich was just quality ingredients, the burrata on it was insane. I will say the burrata overpowered the mortadella a little bit but when you got a bite where you could taste everything it just was a perfect combo. Quality ingredients, and you defintely pay the price for it, definitely an expensive sandwich but 100% worth it in my eyes. read more

I got the Valtellina Sandwich. It was very good. I ended up adding banana peppers and chives plus a little mayo. It was very tasty. The bread, cheese, arugula and prosciutto seemed fresh.

I ordered the Chicken Del Vesuvio on a baguette and it was nothing more than basic. The homemade mayonnaise that is on the sandwich throws the whole thing off. Would I try something else from here in the future? Yes. Let me save up first because the prices are astronomical. 6.7/10. read more

I am so happy this shop moved into the neighborhood! We needed a GOOD Italian Sandwich place in the low 80s! I've tried numerous Sandwiches, salads, and the pasta. By far, my favorite is the eggplant parmigiana. The sauce is perfection. I've only ordered for pick up or delivery, I haven't ate at the shop. I can't comment on the ambiance of service. read more

Chicken parm was gummy chicken tenders, not recommended. Nice staff, took a while to get our sandwiches but just not worth the wait

Saw this place on Reddit was intrigued, stopped by ordered the special of the month it was a chicken prosciutto panini. The bread was high quality but the chicken tasted like a breaded mozzarella stick not even the school lunch one. Idk maybe a bad day for the cook? A lot of people go there though so that's really good for the business on a lowkey block I want them to thrive but step your chicken game up needs some sauce too or something read more

Picked up a sandwich for lunch. They have various Italian style staples. I went for a prosciutto, mozzarella, tomato and basil option called a Peppe, and had it in a baguette (and warmed up). It was pretty tasty, and quite a lot of food. However it ended up being about $17 which seems kind of expensive for a sandwich.... Staff were friendly. Place is fairly small, counter space had seats for 3 to 4 people, but no tables. Also serving coffee and a few pastries. read more

Great sandwich at a great price. The staff was amazing z Will be back in the near future.

I do love the homemade lemonades and the tiramisu is so good I'd buy a tray of it. But every time I order a capri sandwich, they throw a bunch of dried oregano on the tomatoes and I have no way of asking them to hold that on the website. I also simply do not like the ciabatta and am not willing to bring my order up to $20 just for decent bread. I also think this sandwich should include dressing other than olive oil that you don't have to pay extra for and it should also include arugula because they do not even put enough mozzarella to fill the the sandwich. I love a mozzarella sandwich but this is just not well planned. read more

Food is above average but customer service is terrible. Food could be free and I wouldn't go back.

What I like the most about this place is that the owner is Italian! Direct from Italy! It is a very small space can only seat about five people. Three or four at the counter and at best very tight. They have a tiny table with one chair and outside a tiny table with two chairs. What I have had was quite good. (Eggplant Parm on a baguette). I haven't tried anything else as I am not sure as to the quality of something like chicken.. The owner is very nice and very friendly and very accommodating to the best of his ability. I am fussy about cleanliness and it looks clean inside, but they do not seem to hose down their little outside area and it is full of pigeon feces. I mean a lot of pigeon feces! It is worth a try. I certainly would not sit outside and would probably take it home. I have not seen any kind of board of health grade. read more

Loooooved it. Def coming back. The mozzarella was so fresh. It's small, but cozy and the food was so comforting. 10/10!

The SuperMario and the Burrata sandwiches are so delicious and filling! I've tried all of the lemonades and they taste amazing and are so fresh! The tiramisu is incredible! My only complaint is that it is quite pricey. $6 for a lemonade? $20 for a sandwich? I think they should reevaluate their pricing, although admittedly the quality is impeccable. read more

Super great sandwich and nice employees!! Thank you so much! There is enough space to sit inside and eat a lunch.

Stumbled upon this new little spot with some friends. While we were reading the menu outside, a couple walked out and said, "The food is amazing, just do it," and so we did. It was a Sunday afternoon, bringing in a busy lunch crowd that quickly packed the small space. There were only two people working that greeted everyone and handed out menus, they have an easy-to-use self-order kiosk at the counter to make things quick and easy. We ordered 3 sandwiches and an iced americano that came out in about 15 minutes. While the person who handed them to us apologized for the wait, we were impressed with the service with how new and busy they were. This shows they hold themselves to a higher standard. We walked over to Central Park to sit and eat, and countless people walking by stopped to admire the sandwiches and ask where we got them. All 3 of us were blown away by the quality and taste of these. Both baguette and focaccia bread options were perfect. All the ingredients tasted very fresh, and their sauces and glazes were fantastic. I thought about that sandwich for the rest of the day. I will add that my iced americano tasted burnt, but the sandwiches were so good, I didn't care. Didn't expect an amazing coffee from a sandwich shop anyway. tl;dr: to die for sandwiches that are reasonably priced. you should go. read more

Awful place I couldn't get what I wanted. I could pay $16 for a sandwich with things I didn't want or $20 for a custom sandwich with less than what I wanted. read more

In the past I have recommended Panineria to others, however, I was extremely disappointed in the service I received on my most recent visit. We ordered the meatball sandwich for $16 and spent an additional $3 for mozzarella to be added. We waited for over 25 minutes for our order. When I checked to verify the mozzarella was added, I noticed that it was not in the sandwich. I told the man and woman working behind the counter and they proceeded to give me a plastic container of mozzarella cheese. When I asked them to add it to the sandwich, I was met with extreme rudeness. For a $19 sandwich I expect all the ingredients to be inside instead of taking the sandwich apart myself; plus the poor service does not help. read more
