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.
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.
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!
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
This place was so cute. Delicious sandwiches! They're so big 1 sandwich will feed 2 people. The storefront is pretty small but you can look all their grocery items while you wait. The Sicilian had this amazing pistachio pesto that I will be attempting to recreate. read more
The sandwiches are incredible and worth the hype. The table was so good with the cutlets, prosciutto, mozzarella, and arugula. The Italian with hots was also incredible. The individual meats were so thinly sliced and fresh. The rosemary focaccia that the sandwiches are served on are perfection! Will definitely be back. Be prepared for huge sandwiches! read more

I don't even know where to begin, this sandwich has changed my entire life. After seeing the "Table" sandwich going viral in Boston, my friend and I decided to go see the hype for ourselves. On a Saturday afternoon, it took around an hour to get our sandwiches (standing in the outdoor line + waiting after ordering), but I would truly wait another 5 for this. The Table sandwich is expensive, coming in at $22, but it is bigger than the size of your head. This is the biggest sandwich I've ever seen, and the tastiest sandwich I've ever had. The base is their homemade focaccia bread, drizzled with lemon dressing and vinaigrette. The filling consists of chicken cutlet, fresh mozzarella, prosciutto, tomato, and arugula. The ingredients are all extremely fresh, and the prosciutto was the best I've had in my entire life. You can absolutely get one sandwich to share between 2 people, but I was so hungry I scarfed down about 80% of the entire thing. This is a treasure!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

I fear I may have just eaten the best sandwich of my life... and it's so huge I could have it for 3-4 meals!! Not even exaggerating when I say the sandwich was bigger than my head, and I am a sucker for focaccia! For $22 and the size, it's so worth it. I did an order for pick up and as soon as I got there they were able to make it under 5 minutes. I came on a Sunday afternoon, not too busy. Just a small grab and go shop next to their restaurant. There's some benches outside to eat it but you could also go along the water! read more

Massive portions - $20 for a sandwich the size of a small baby! Hands down the best sandwich I've had in the Boston area, and will feed you for several meals too. Wait in line to order, and you can ask for add-ons and customize your order too. No seating but we went to a nearby park to eat. read more

Grabbed this to go and it was AMAZING. The only thing I wish I did was add a balsamic glaze to cut through the meat. The burrata was creamy, the bread was crunchy, and the meats for filling. Expensive sandwich, BUT definitely worth it. The sandwich was the size of my head and I could only finish half of it. Since I ordered to ahead I was able to pick right up when I got there. Highly recommend to try! There was not seating when I was around there but a cute shop with a bunch of snacks, pastas, cold pastas and more to buy. Can't wait to try other sandwiches and items on the menu! read more

If you're looking for a life changing sandwich, this would be the place to find it. Whenever my boyfriend and I come here we always get the table sandwich which comes with chicken cutlets, prosciutto, arugula, mozzarella, and tomato with a balsamic glaze all on focaccia bread. The bread alone is amazing and leaves you coming back for another bite no matter how full you are. Don't let the 22$ a sandwich scare you either this is easily enough food for 2-3 meals and well worth the price. read more

SO worth the price. This is the most massive and most delicious sandwich I've ever had. The Sicilian is very refreshing. Even the chicken cutlets alone are very well seasoned! Everyone who comes to Boston needs to try this. read more

Just realized I never posted this review. The date and time might not be important for reviewers but it's for the management team if they want to figure out who's working that day. On July 20, 2023 around 2:00pm my wife and sisters walked in to check out this little market. It's small and cozy but not one customer. A gentlemen and two female workers were inside chatting away and not one of them greeted us or asked if we needed any assistance. But what disturbed us the most is this one girl behind the counter near the deli area was standing up and randomly clipping her nails. Wtf!! She didn't even try hiding it. Or even clip over a trashcan or anything. And her coworkers didn't even tell her to stop. It's just gross bad unsanitary. Stay away from this place, people! We walked out right away. read more
This is a top 3 sandwich in the city! The Italians deli decor and ambiance is very nice. Quality ingredients and the sandwich is phenomenal. The focaccia bread is absolutely delicious and the portion size is crazy. 1 sandwich easily fills up 2 people. They also offer order ahead which makes busy days like a Saturday afternoon much more seamless. This place blew my expectations out of the water and I cannot wait to go back! read more

Stopped in for a meatball parm sub and it was so delicious. The small is still pretty big so if you get a large then bring an appetite. I was a little early in the day so I was in and out quickly, can't speak for a lunchtime rush read more

The single largest sandwich I have ever eaten. Be sure to split one because there is no way you can eat a whole one! I highly recommend the Italian. We walked by and a group of people were eating over park benches and tiny tables. After walking the north end, I thought why not? The single best bread I have ever tasted and freshest ingredients combined with spices make this a perfect spot. read more

One of the most 5-star reviews I've ever written. In Boston for a long weekend and doing a lot of eating and sight seeing and just happened to stumble in here for an afternoon lunch. I got the Table sandwich for $22 which initially I thought was a little heavily priced but when I felt them hand me the bag, I knew it was well worth it. It was delicious! The Focaccia bread was fresh, the chicken cutlet was light, the mozzarella and the basil were fresh as can be. Super tiny little deli and coffee shop with a wide selection of oils and pastas that you can also purchase. Staff were friendly, sandwiches were made right in front of us, there was not a single bad thing to say about the experience. Kudos to Table Mercato, thoroughly impressed. read more

Not sure why the reviews from others are so negative as that has not matched my experience at Table itself or at the Table Mercato next door. I'm definitely a sucker for any specialty food store and especially if there's fun unique pasta, cheeses, and jars of olive oil, pasta sauce, etc. It's a perfect addition to a North End tour for a newcomer or just for someone who's interested in picking up ingredients (or a whole prepared meal) for dinner. The person working there when I came in hooked me up big time with large portions of the pasta that I got to go, and the most delicious, arugula-stuffed, fresh focaccia chicken cutlet sandwich I could have dreamed of. It looks like too much arugula but it's not. Expensive but with the size of each half, for me it was like buying two sandwiches. Almost too convenient of a stop on my way home :) read more

I got the huge cheese ravioli which was very good, but the woman said it was 10 for a portion and I could barely eat 5! I enjoyed it with the pistachio pesto, and I would definitely go back to try the tortellini. My husband liked the meatballs and eggplant rollatini. The rosemary Focaccia was really soft, not like traditional focaccia. Overall they have interesting Italian goods and takeout food. read more

Great authentic Italian sandwich shop & place to get pasta and such to take home to cook. Delicious food with great selection. Unless you can eat a lot, their $18 sandwich is plenty enough for 2 which makes it a very cheap option for lunch. I love eating when visiting Rome and this reminds me of all their small shops over there. Highly recommend and will be back next time in town! read more
