The only thing that makes this location a five star is indeed the sandwich itself. The service was not great. We almost felt that we were inconveniencing the workers and the wait time is absurd for in person orders. But I have to give credit when it's due, this was by far one of my favorite sandwiches although they are pricey, you can easily feed a party of four with a nice bag of chips on the side. We were blessed with being able to try the table sandwich. The focaccia was fresh along with the mozzarella and arugula. Since we made an online order which quoted us 45 minutes, our sandwich was ready in 20 so unfortunately, the chicken cutlet was not as fresh as we would've liked. Sidenote, the first day we attempted to order in person they quoted us an hour, so we decided to place an order of the following day. Highly recommend placing the order and staying local to be safe. Despite all the sandwiches, well worth the weight, just don't have high expectations for service We love the ambience of a little Italian market, and it was very well kept read more

Sandwiches are huge. We ordered The Table, Chicken Parm, and Eggplant. Everyone felt the chicken cutlets in both sandwiches could've been seasoned more. Sandwiches are on the pricier side but they last two meals! The sauce foe the Chicken Parm was on point. read more

There was a long line when we arrive so we decided to order online. Once ordered, we were given a 65-75min estimated wait time. We went down the street to grab some small bites while we waited. We got back when we got the email saying our food is ready for pickup 75mins later, but was told to wait another 10min... we got coffee at their shop across the street and came back 15mins later and it's still not ready. We waited in store and saw a lot of people asking the status of their order. We finally got our sandwich close to 2hrs after we ordered and 40min after the supposedly ready time. The sandwich was huge (enough for 2) and came with a side of sauce to dip in. If you have time and don't mind waiting, this is your place but don't come hungry expecting to get your food anytime soon. read more

Sándwich was phenomenal!!! It's HUGEEE that's why it's $27. Please note on the weekends you have to wait over 35mins because the lines are super long. chicken cutlets with prosciutto, mozzarella, arugula and balsamic glaze on a focaccia? ALL THE DELICIOUSNESS IN ONE BITE. My friend and I shared the Sandwich , there's no places to eat inside so you have to eat inside or in your car. read more

One of the best things I ate during my trip to Boston was the Table sandwich. It's located in this small shop in north end. Expect to have to wait in line to order and take some time to get your sandwich, but let me tell you that it's well worth the wait. We only ordered one sandwich for two people, which was more than enough because the sandwich is huge! We walked over to the wharf, about 5 minutes away, to sit and eat since there is not seating at this shop, but the sandwich is perfect for an outdoor lunch. Everything about the sandwich was perfect - the focaccia held up to all the ingredients, the cutlets were perfectly seasoned, and all the other items were perfectly balanced together. Do not skip this sandwich! read more

I finally made it to Table Mercato in the North End, and I'm still thinking about that sandwich. I ordered the $27 "Table" sandwich, and when they handed it to me, I genuinely laughed--it was gigantic. This wasn't just a sandwich; it was an event. Stuffed to the brim and packed with layers of high-quality meats, sharp cheese, fresh toppings, and perfectly dressed greens, it felt like it weighed as much as a small child. The bread had that ideal balance: crusty on the outside with a soft, chewy interior that held everything together without falling apart. Yes, I waited about 20 minutes. And yes, it was absolutely worth it. Every bite was perfectly balanced--savory, salty, slightly tangy, with just the right amount of crunch. Nothing tasted like an afterthought. It felt carefully built, not just piled high for show (even though it definitely makes a statement). I ended up sharing it, and there was still more than enough to go around. The vibe at Table Mercato is casual and efficient--no frills, just seriously good food done right. If you're in the North End and debating whether a $27 sandwich is worth it, I can confidently say: it is. I'd wait the 20 minutes all over again. Filled with prosciutto, chicken cutlet, mozzarella, argula and sauce. read more

This place went viral last year... and for good reason! The inside is pretty small with no place to sit. While you can order there, it does seem like it takes some time for the sandwiches to be made. There is a sign saying that for the weekends to expect up to an hour wait for your sandwich. That being said, I ordered ahead online and my sandwich was ready when I got there. (This was a Thursday afternoon). I got the vodka chicken Parm after seeing it online and it definitely lives up to the hype. And yes, it is ~$30. The sandwich is huge. It has huge cutlets in it which are very filling, and perfectly made. It ended up being enough for two people, so find a person to share it with! The vodka sauce in the sandwich was sooooo good, definitely one of the best I've found in boston. They also provide you with a whole container of sauce to dip your sandwich into (highly recommend doing that). What lost the star is that I felt there wasn't enough basil. For that huge sandwich, there was actually very few bites with basil. I wish there was more of it, and I also wish there was some other green in there like arugula. Other than that, it's a great sandwich. I'd definitely get this again! read more

If you are going to come here, I highly recommend mobile ordering ahead so that you don't have to wait one hour for your sandwich. They are very busy. The sandwich is well worth the wait though. It is one of the largest sandwiches I've ever had, so one sandwich can easily be split between two people. The focaccia bread is fresh and fluffy. The chicken cutlet is nicely breaded, and crisp. I would come here every week if I lived in Boston. read more

Table Mercato - chicken cutlet sandwich - Delis Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Had to try the famous table chicken cutlet sandwich in the North End. I did a pickup order and it took a really long time which I expected since it's such a popular spot. The sandwich is huge and definitely worth the price. Easily feeds 2 people. The homemade potato chips were Amazing! I would definitely grab a bag of those if you're in there. As for the Sandwich it all tasted very fresh. The bread really made the sandwich. But if I'm being honest it didn't really blow me away. I think I expected to like it a lot more than I did, and maybe that's because it was cold and is better hot and right after they make it. But it was just kinda okay in my opinion. read more

Table Mercato is a very cozy italian speciality store in the heart of the North End. We came in on a weekend to get one of their famous sandwiches and it's safe to say a lot of others had the same idea as us. We ordered in store, and waited on a line that was out the door for about 15 mins to place our order. It took about 30-40 mins to receive our order which was one sandwich. There were a few customers near us who came in for online pickup orders and waited upwards of an hour. I would definitely recommend coming in the store and ordering because it seems like our orders were prioritized. The store itself had a lot of prepared foods, pastas, italian speciality items available to purchase. Also, there is nowhere to sit inside and it got extremely cramped inside with all of the customers so just be aware of that. As for the actual sandwich, they were massive. You only need 1 for 2 people, and we still had a hard time finishing it. You certainly get a bang for your buck here. The sandwich itself was excellent, I loved the focaccia and the fresh mozz. Overall, I am glad we tried it and we really enjoyed the food, but I would avoid coming here on a weekend during the lunch rush. read more

This is the second time we ordered Table Mercato's Sandwiches for a special event. Everything from the homemade focaccia bread to the freshest ingredients - - chicken cutlet with arugula and honey, lemon vinaigrette dressing - brie with prosciutto di parma and fig jam Are some of my favorites and thoroughly enjoyed by all. The attention to detail putting these sandwiches together with top-notch ingredients has been a joy and a pleasure to share with great family and friends Thank you Table Mercato for always making the food at our events a huge success. read more

Most amazing vodka parm sandwich! It was $26 but could have fed 3 people. It came with extra vodka sauce for dipping. We ordered the sandwich and extra chicken cutlets not knowing we would get about another pound of chicken cutlets. The cutlets were great on their own but the vodka sauce takes it to the next level. The restaurant itself has no seating inside and can get pretty packed while ordering, but there are some benches outside and just down the street. They told us up front it would take 30 minutes and it was exactly 30 minutes for our food to be ready. read more

Easily the best sandwich I've ever had. I had no idea it was so popular but after having one of their sandwiches, I can see why. My friend randomly came across them on Google maps while looking for somewhere for lunch and we almost gave up when we saw the line and the long wait time. But that wait is worth it because their team is making every sandwich fresh by hand and it shows. First of all these sandwiches are MASSIVE, definitely shareable or you can get two meals out of it like I did. The price is a little shocking until you actually get the sandwich and then it makes sense. Not only are they huge, they're also delicious with super fresh ingredients and fantastic flavor combinations. I had the roasted egg eggplant which I highly recommend and my two friends tried completely different sandwiches and they also loved theirs. It's a very small shop with no indoor seating, but we just took our sandwiches to the park nearby and had a little picnic by the water. read more

Super quick on weekdays when you avoid the tourist crowd. The sandwiches are huge and much fresher with moist focaccia compared to what you usually get in a sandwich shop. They're also generous with the meat and it tastes like high quality deli. Lots of great Italian market options, of course a little pricey. Cute, cozy vibe for those looking for that north end market aesthetic. Homemade cookies are mediocre and dry so I'd skip those. read more

Table Mercato - Italian sandwich - Delis Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

First and much anticipated visit; won't be the last. Well-conceived Italian sandwiches and stuff. Tiny shop, no inside seating, a few benches outside. Best taken over to the Paul Revere Statue where plenty more benches allow better spreading. -- Chicken Cutlet: One man's a la carte (without the sandwich) is another man's au naturale-- a good way to sample the quality of the chicken itself. Big pieces, pounded flat, lightly breaded, adequately seasoned, and juicy. Good crunch, tenderness, and flavor on its own. Served with a little tub of red marinara sauce for dunking, and that was very good too. -- Vodka Chicken Parmesan: Served on a soft Italian sub roll, a double layer of crisp chicken cutlets gets hit with vodka sauce instead of the traditional marinara. Creamier, even buttery, with that red still lingering in the backdrop. Just the right amount of moisture, but if you wanna go heavy, the sauce container of extra vodka sauce that comes with it is great for pouring or dunking-- and good for saving to use later. Very nice all-around flavor and texture. Would get this again. -- Brie, Fig & Prosciutto: A thick, warmed slab of soft brie cheese, with thinner prosciutto, topped with a generous slather of fig jam, some arugula, and extra virgin olive oil, held between two just-the-right-thickness slices of focaccia. A very balanced configuration, with every component shining through-- with the fig out front. Everything contrasted perfectly too. I sensed a black olive flavor; maybe it was my imagination. Whatever it was, I liked it. Would get this again too, but would note that you've gotta be in the mood for the sweetness or it might not be for you. -- Roasted Veggie: A beautiful appearance with all its contrasting colors, and the same focaccia. My dining companion thought the focaccia could have been a little fresher; I didn't notice anything off. I'm not a mushrooms guy, so I had trouble going more than a bite or two, since mushrooms are prominent here. -- Classic Italian: Per the menu, you get the following on focaccia: Imported mortadella (with pistachio), sweet capicola, salami, provolone, tomato, red onions, pickles, shredded romaine, & Italian oil/dressing. Hots optional. Another good looking sandwich and of substantial thickness. Flavor was pleasant enough, but on the bologna-salami continuum, seemed more on the bologna end of things. The focaccia had good pliability, but could have been more pillowy. Would get this sandwich again, but with modifications. Even though not every item was a home run, there definitely were some, and even on the ones that weren't, they were well conceived and I felt like I got my moneysworth. Will be back. Recommendation: ordering advance and arrive before the posted time, because it may be ready earlier. read more

I think that Table Mercado although it was good definitely was not worth over an hour wait. I came here on a Sunday around 2pm. The same is very small and it wasn't really clear who was waiting and who was ordered (kind of a mess) everyone looked confused. We ended up ordering and the girl at the counter said it could take up to 30 mins but it ended up being over an hour wait. The manager or boss kept yelling at the staff while they were working so that was very awkward and I think slowed down the service. Once we got our food it was good but not really worth the wait or super ground breaking. Seating is also non existent so have somewhere in mind to eat after. read more

One of the priciest sandwiches I've had. I was sent here on a side quest since I had a yoga class nearby. Apparently they've gone viral on social media. HUGE portions (each sandwich is cut into 2 so 2 meals) and they are made to order. It's a take out spot and be prepared to wait! Cute interior store, kind of like a grocery store too. The 3 staff are kept very busy. There's also the option to order online. I got the Brie +fig sandwich which is on the sweet side. The Italian is packed full of meat and savory. Not sure if I'd come back again with the long wait too but it's a visually spot to come once as a tourist. There were more than a few customers who were complaining about the wait time, some of their flavors were sold out. read more

I came here during a vacation in the Boston area based on the great reviews and a Tik Tok post I saw . The line was really long but it only took about 10 minutes to order and then another 30 minutes to get my sandwiches. The sandwiches are the largest sandwiches I've ever seen. I ate half and save the other half for dinner. The sandwiches were delicious and the cashier was very friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend going here for an excellent sandwich. read more

Sometimes places are just worth the hype. These sandwiches are absolutely incredible. The bread alone is worth the price you'll pay.

Highly recommend doing that and enjoying this incredible sandwich shop read more

This place was on my list for a long time and finally got to check it out! Overall, I found the sandwhiches were overpriced for what they were. They were very salty and oily. I tried both The Roman and The Sicilian. Just too much oil in them, and the pistachio pesto was very salty If you want to get them on the weekend I would recommend pre-ordering as they take an hour to prep so you can order ahead and skip the line. read more

This establishment is extremely perplexing because the food is yum (although I'm sure if anyone put their mind to it they could replicate) and the service is dog shit. The staff is extremely rude and they do not care for the customer (e,.g., you could walk in and see your pick up order ready on the shelf and still be asked to wait 25 minutes before they hand that bag to you). Tried using the bathroom here when picking up an order and they said bathroom is for sit down customers only??? Okay sure sorry my $28 sandwich with only 3 ingredients isn't worth a bathroom trip! Legit get lost - isn't the owner the same lady who got canceled on tik tok for assaulting a young girl at a feast? read more

I heard this place was good but damn... it exceeded all my expectations!! I went in over the weekend to grab some lunch. I got the Roasted Eggplant Sandwich while my friend tried The Table Sandwich. 10/10 for the flavor, freshness and looks!! These sandwiches are huge, we ended up having it for lunch and dinner. The shop is always busy, especially over the weekend and it took us well over 40 minutes to get our order. The wait was totally worth it for me. With the extended wait time I kinda wish there was a bit more space in the shop. read more

Hands down the best sandwich I've ever had in my life. The size is absolutely massive (literally the size of my head and probably enough for 3-4 people), but that doesn't take away from its perfect composition! The ratio of bread to filling is spot on--although it may be difficult to get a full bite of everything at once. When you do though, you're met with an amazing mixture of the nutty pesto, fresh tomatoes, creamy mozzarella, crispy arugula, and tender chicken all encased two pieces of fluffy focaccia. The ingredients in this sandwich are really what elevate the entire experience because they're packed with flavor and as authentic as can be, making you feel transported right to Italy with every bite. I would DEFINITELY recommend The Sicilian if this combo sounds good to you, but their menu has a variety of delicious options to chose from. As for the service and ordering process itself, it was super easy! I would recommend ordering far ahead of time before picking up just to give them time to prepare your order. Also, though it has the cutest, modern Italian deli charm, the spot itself is quite small, so if you order in person be prepared to wait outside which might take a while. If you do visit in person though, this spot also offers a plethora of italian treats, some of their fabulous ingredients in their own, or even some other sides like meatballs!! All this to say, you HAVE to try Table Mercato's sandwiches. They're worth every penny and honestly I'd be willing to pay more for how good they really are. Just make sure you come with an appetite or some friends who have one! read more

the table - 9/10. review such a sensational sandwich the table is a signature menu item made with chicken cutlet, fresh mozzarella, tomato, prosciutto, arugula, lemon-honey vinaigrette, and balsamic glaze. i found it extremely hearty and filling and would highly recommend sharing if you can because it is so hefty. you can see in the pic they had to wrap it with a rubber band to hold all the fillings in! i'm not the biggest fan of arugula in my samdwiches bc of the bitter taste but the lemon honey vinaigrette and balsamic glaze really boosted the flavor and made it much more palatable. the chicken cutlet, though really thick, was cooked well and still remained juicy. loved this sandwich and enjoyed it thoroughly at a nearby wharf as there aren't any tables at the shop. read more

The most expensive and BEST sandwich you will ever put in your mouth! I couldn't leave Boston without trying this sandwich. Special trip by an Uber made it possible. I walked right on in, there was one other person there. Placed my order, looked around for a minute as your food is made to order, and then it was ready. The place is beautiful. Lovely ambiance with special items for purchase. The staff is friendly! And the sandwich, oh my. I had my mind set on the Italian and I would take a special trip back to Boston just to have that sandwich again! Definitely worth trying out if you've heard of it and are on the fence. You won't regret it! read more

Table Mercato - pesto chicken - Delis Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

My son suggested that we check this place out during our visit to Boston. We passed by it while sightseeing and noticed a lady chowing down on a sandwich. I asked her how was it and she responded that it was the best sandwich she's had in a while. She was talking about the "Table", but warned that the wait was over an hour! So I was really excited to come back in a day or two. Fast forward a couple of days-I ordered ahead a few sandwiches for the family. Chik parm w/vodka sauce, Brie Fig Prosciutto, and Italian Cubano. Chik Parm was amazing and worth the hype seen on social media. Brief Fig was super flavorful and it was my personal favorite of the three. If I ever go back to Boston, I will definitely stop here again and try the Table and reorder the Brie Fig. Check this place out, you won't be disappointed. read more

Huge portions! I finally went to this place after seeing so many reviews on TikTok and it did not disappoint. I got the table sandwich and my friend got the porchetta. We also got a bag of the homemade chips. It was all pretty tasty and the ingredients were fresh. The store is on the smaller side but there is a bit of room to wait. Everything came out within 10 mins but I think that depends on the time you order. The sandwiches are huge and worth the price. There's at least four servings in each depending on what you order. I can't wait to come back and order something else on the menu read more

Incredible sandwiches! I had the Sicilian and it was wonderful - these sandwiches are absolutely massive but I truly enjoyed every last bite. The Sicilian was perfectly balanced with the chicken, pesto, mozzarella and arugula and the foccaia is to die for.

Going viral isn't for everyone. I say that with love. A very cute, small shop. Gives you very much mom and pop locally sourced type vibe. ALSO: I UNDERSTAND BEING PATIENT I do. But, I came in, the line was long(to be expected) was never greeted, the girls never even looked up. So I finally go to the counter and she looks at me like I don't belong (I was also the only one of me, iykyk) still no conversation, just staring me down. I asked a question about a viral sandwich and she looked obviously annoyed. Answered in like 5 words. Whatever girl lol. Again, please remember that I'm the only one of me (poc) I watch everyone else order and get their food, all after me, keep in mind so I ask if it's coming she goes ooooh right and turns away. Minutes later, she comes back with it no apology or anything just passed it over the counter and I left. Had I not spent $50 and tipped, I would've just left. I get back home, excited to devour this gargantuan sandwich only to first off bite into the driest chicken cutlet I've possibly ever tried. They were just sitting on the counter and I wonder if that had something to do with it. Like I mean I could not even eat it, despite being drowned in sauce. Super unfortunate, considering. However, the Italian, 10/10 was great and the Brie sandwich was a solid 8/10 Overall, it's overpriced and bland? The spicy sauce was good and the fir was great but everything lacked flavor. I would love to say I'd possibly try again, maybe it was an off night. But I have 0 plans on spending my money where I am very clearly not wanted. read more
