Wow, located in West Village this was an amazing Italian sandwich shop providing the same great taste as the various other delis across the city. I ordered the San Classico and while I did feel it was a bit smaller than I was expecting, compared to the size at your typical deli, it was quite flavorful, with each bite having me crave more. If you have a craving, this place is definitely worth a visit. The shop itself is quite small. I walked in and a man at the desk took my order. The cash register is towards the back of the shop. Within 10 mins, given that there was a small line, I had a sandwich in my hands. It was packed with plenty of sliced meat. The bread was properly toasted and just as crispy as I would like. We arrived on a Saturday around 1pm and I think this place deserves more hype. There are small seating areas inside for parties of two, but overall not so big of a shop. Staff is extremely friendly and happy to answer any questions, but it can get hard to get their attention given how busy it all is. Highly recommend! And looking forward to try new items on their menu. read more

Pretty solid Italian sandwich shop in the west village perfect for lunch. I love stopping by here to grab a quick sandwich when I'm in the area. It's a small shop where you just order at the counter and wait for them to make it. I tried the number 10 this time which is a grilled eggplant sandwich with mozzarella and olive tapenade. The bread was very crunchy and there was a solid amount of mozzarella and eggplant so it definitely hit the spot. read more

Sanpanino - #10 - Grilled Eggplant panini - Sandwiches Near Me - New York, New York

So I ended up at Sanpanino in the West Village the other day, kinda by accident honestly, I was just walking around, hungry and a little annoyed at everything being either super pricey or super extra, and this place felt like the right middle ground. It's small inside, like really not a lot of room, you walk in and you're basically at the counter already. The vibe is very "regulars spot" people popping in, saying hi, grabbing their usual, a couple folks squeezed at the little counter or tables just quietly destroying their sandwiches. No decor moment, no "Instagram wall," just... a sandwich shop. It's a little cramped and can feel a bit tight when more people come in, but it also kinda adds to that New York, we're-all-on-top-of-each-other charm, if that makes sense. Service is super straightforward, which I actually like. You walk up, they're like "what can I get you," you tell them, they maybe ask one or two follow-ups, and that's it. No fake small talk, no trying to upsell you on ten things, just normal people making your food. They move pretty quick, too. Even with a couple orders ahead of me, I wasn't standing around forever. My sandwich was hot, wrapped up right, nothing missing, no confusion. It's not "warm and fuzzy" service but it's efficient and not rude, which is honestly perfect for a quick lunch. Price-wise, for the West Village, it's... honestly not bad. Like, you're not walking out of there thinking you hacked the system or something, but you also don't get that "wow, I just paid way too much for this" feeling. The sandwich actually has some weight to it, good bread, solid fillings, you're full after. I've paid more for way worse nearby, so in that sense it feels pretty fair. Nothing fancy, nothing dramatic, just a really solid little Italian sandwich spot I'd happily go back to when I'm in the area and don't feel like sitting through some overcomplicated "concept" menu. It's the kind of place where you walk in, get your sandwich, chill for a minute, and then you're back out in the city feeling a tiny bit less grumpy. read more

Came to this place to get my lunch. I decided to start with N6 Prosciutto di Parma. When the guy started cutting focaccia bread, I was thinking that he cutting ends of the bread and after will cut a normal piece. I was wrong, that was a size of my sandwich. It was so so tiny, omg I got super sad. Then he put a healthy amount of prosciutto, it was really nice and honestly even sandwich is very tiny but with that amount of meat it's good and you feel full after. Then I decided to try tuna wrap. It was delicious and good amount of tuna was there. So my verdict- I will definitely go back read more

A favorite of ours for years. Will be returning, especially on Wednesdays for the meatball sandwiches

Sanpanino - 6. Prosciutto di Parma Sandwich - Sandwiches Near Me - New York, New York

It's a shame a NYC sub shop can make such a poor sandwich and still get good reviews on Yelp. Dry, stale bread, and no sauces that tie in all the ingredients. It's like a modular, pre-made sandwich you'd pick up at a 7-11. Honestly, I'm just in disbelief with disappointment. read more

Tasty sandwiches on yummy focaccia. They make their mozzarella in house. A great easy lunch option. Vegetarian choices too.

I can't rave enough about this little sandwich shop in the West Village. It's a short walk from Hudson River park, so I took my sandwich to eat there since there is limited seating in and around the store. It's pretty tiny inside. You line up, order your sandwich and let the staff know if you want it toasted or not. I prefer toasted but I am sure it also taste great as is! For my first time there I ordered their signature Prosciutto di Parma, which seemed to get a lot of rave reviews on Yelp. The reviews weren't lying as they do give a lot of prosciutto in the sandwich, and it's freshly sliced too. I also got the Arnold Palmer which was ok, a bit more on tea side than the lemonade so it was rather mild. But I will most certainly return again for the Prosciutto di Parma. read more

There is nothing Italian about this joint as my meatball hero proved on January 15, 2025. Bland, tasteless at 13 bucks. Anytime you have latinos making Italian food it just doesn't taste good or Italian. I will not return here as its touted meatball-on-Wednesday are worse than disappointing. read more

Sanpanino - Possibly the worst meatball hero in the history of this fabled sandwich ... from Sanpanino on Hudson Street. At 13 bucks a tasteless ripoff. - Sandwiches Near Me - New York, New York

For what it is, an Italian Sandwich, it's fine. Meat and cheese are good. Sometimes the peppers are a decent source of flavor. The focaccia is pretty boring. I got it "cold", so definitely go for the panini version. It's pretty hard to find a good sammy in this neighborhood. Good meat and cheese is great, but they don't make a good sammy on their own. I remain on the hunt for a good balanced sandwich balanced with equal parts meat, veggies, and flavor. read more

Sanpanino - 7. Tuna Sanpanino Sandwich - Sandwiches Near Me - New York, New York

Not exactly going to rock your world, but a small and mighty sandwich deserves a small and mighty review. It has a nice amount of meat. It packs a punch seconds after you take a bite. It is layered neatly. It feels more like a snack or a small lunch than the lunch spot it should be. It is only a five minute walk from the subway. It is not too far from the waterfront. It is popular with law enforcement. It is insanely expensive for such a small sandwich. It is not the best option in the city if you want a satisfying meal. It is not meant for anything else but the sandwich. read more

Came here for lunch and it was pretty busy. A small but cute little shop. I got the San Classico. Meats and cheese were pretty good, the sandwich is great toasted. A little on the small side considering sandwiches, but not too pricey. Great lunch spot! read more

This is like a really good sandwich if you're in an airport. One piece of each cold cut, very good bread, overpriced

Tasteless and bland only saving grace was the meatball sub but to explain the taste and texture i would have to compare it to chef boyardee baked a bit between to buns. Just don't even try the fresh "lemonade" if you would like to experience it just rub a lemon rind inside your mouth. Btw this is my third time trying this place. read more

While All'Antico Vinaio and even Faicco's and Pisillo Italian Panini Chelsea are in a league of its own in NYC, I absolutely love the paninis at Sanpanino. There are salads and pastas available, but Sanpanino is best known for their Italian sandwiches. You can get one of the pre-made options or build your own, on a variety of breads (including GF). I typically opt for the San classico (sopressata, mortadella, mozzarella, roasted peppers, basil, olive oil, balsamic), Delicious, hot, and crispy on the outside. Takeout only. The prices are fair for the West Village, and it 's filling enough on most days. read more

Delicious hot fresh Italian paninis made to order. Would go here pre-COVID with coworkers for a lunch. My favorites are the grilled eggplant and the classic mozzarella with tomato. Having the panini grilled makes the mozzarella so gooey and smooth. I usually order a half sandwich as I eat modest portions. When I want a bit of variety- i get the half sandwich and soup combo. But if you have a heartier appetite then go for the whole sandwich. Outside of their great paninis they also have a good selection of salads available for purchase. All of their panini and salads are customizable. They also have a breakfast menu too. Limited outdoor seating - bunch of stools in the open air- which was perfect for us. We avoid closed outdoor structures during the pandemic. read more

Usually love this place as the ingredients are high quality and one of few places to get good Italian sandwiches. Though, I just got two sandwiches, one of focaccia and the other on a hero, and both were unbearably dry - it tasted like 3-day old bread. It was disappointing and made it unenjoyable to eat. Portions are also rather modest. Will come back again and hopefully they will use more fresh bread. read more

Fantastic food very fresh very helpful staff. I'll definitely be eating here again. Would you recommend anyone who is interested in getting a sandwich in the area read more

Haven't even had my sandwich yet but annoyed. While he may think that he was being quiet, I clearly heard him pass down the line that my sandwich was for the "Chino". Brought my friends to try the spot so now I look the fool. read more

I was in the area looking for a sandwich place. I came across this on yelp. It was fairly close so I went. I was surprised to see the line was out the door. I was sure at that moment the food had to be great. So I joined the line. When I saw the fresh toppings for the sandwiches including a variety of breads, I was so excited. They were pretty fast making the sandwiches also. On top of the wall there's menus with different choices of sandwiches to choose. I was happy to see a veggie option. So I ordered an eggplant sandwich with no peppers no cheese and tomatoes. It also had other tasty items on it. I asked for it hot. I asked for a different bread. It was so delicious. They also have homemade lemonade and iced tea there which I picked a iced tea. You guys should check this place out if your in the mood for a fresh tasty sandwich. There service is good but the place is a bit small. Not a place for large crowds. read more

NEAR BY? Get a sandwich from Sanpaninos. You will never go anywhere else. Get your sandwiches hot and toasted, because although the ceiling of your mouth will hate you for that, you simply could care less because of the deliciousness. From variety or meats, daily homemade soups to different kinds of sandwich ingredients varying from grilled eggplant and different style of tomatoes, they got their game. Everything tastes amazing. Go Sanpanino! read more

This place is in my neighborhood and I've eaten here 30+ times. I love that they have high quality ingredients, and the focaccia is homemade, light, buttery and crispy. I've tried 7-8 different sandwiches, but I always come back to the #1 extra toasted with balsamic vinegar to dip it in. The sandwiches can end up on the pricier side if you add extras, and they aren't huge. But they're such high quality Italian classics, I always feel happy and satisfied after a sandwich, chips & a homemade lemonade. The lemonade is very tart, hardly sweet, which I like. You can also ask for a half and half with tea. Mozzarella is freshly made, tomatoes are freshly sliced. Again, the focaccia is extra special and one of a kind. The workers are quiet and don't offer any charms. When someone makes eye contact behind the counter, yell out what number you want, move to the register, pay for your meal. The store is extremely small and can get very busy, so I generally wait outside and someone will pop out and give me my sandwich when it's ready. Keep in mind, they do catering, etc so I have waited 15 minutes for my sandwich to be made before. Call ahead if you have time constraints, especially if you're getting it toasted. They have some outdoor cafe tables you can sit at; very basic but a nice option. I'll usually choose to go down to the Hudson and have a picnic instead. Highly recommend this place for the quality & consistency of their sandwiches. read more

Came in here on a whim because grandma was craving a roast beef sandwich, and boy am I glad that we did! Their focaccia is absolutely incredible. We ordered the #2, #6, ham and cheese breakfast sandwich on their Italian style bagel, and the roast beef sandwich. Everything was finger licking good. I wish I could buy their fresh mozzarella by the pound! Also worth mentioning is their lemonade and hot cocoa, both were hits! read more

This is no All'Antico Vinaio, but the paninis at Sanpanino are good for NYC standards. The bread is grilled crispy with a fluffy interior, and the sandwiches themselves are tasty and flavorful. I got a Sanclassico which includes sopressata, mortadella, mozzarella, roasted peppers, basil, olive oil, and balsamic. I went to the elementary and middle school across the street from 2002-2010 and this was the coolest spot to eat. Too bad back then we weren't allowed to go outside for lunch, but I'm glad I got to come back and eat here for the memories. read more

Customer service is horrible. extremely slow, and don't listen to a word you say when you make alterations. When you unwrap your sandwich, it's rarely what you ordered. It's not uncommon for the employees to give your sandwich to someone else, make you wait 20 minutes, then ask what you'd like to order. Complete disarray. read more
