This was a nice detour and I found a great sandwich shop at Filoncino…read more I was in Jersey last week and I want to grab a lunch before heading back to New York. I found Filoncino (thanks Yelp) in Staten Island right off the exit. I pulled in and saw Filoncino has plenty of available parking. Once inside, I see the restaurant is actually split with 1/2 sit down wait service and 1/2 take out with a few tables to eat your sandwich. The menu choices were pretty substantial, I was going for a hot chicken cutlet but the imported prosciutto sandwich was calling my name. This sandwich was a true banger: fresh mutz, peppers and prosciutto on freshly made Italian bread. Trust me, you're not getting this caliber of sandwich in Boca Raton! This a tried and true New York Italian sandwich. Filoncino, it was a pleasure to dine at your restaurant.

I did a quick search and saw that their cuban and Philly cheese steak were one of their popular…read moresandwiches so I decided to give them both a try. The store was very spacious with a few tables and seats. Ordering the sandwiches went smoothly. So the Philly was pretty decent, I would order it again. But I was not fond of the cuban. We thought the meat was a bit on the dryer side and also it's lacking some flavor. So i would skip the cuban next tome and I probably need to try more of their sandwiches.

The waitress took our orders swiftly and we were served our food within 15 mins of arrival. I had the hero that was chicken cutlet, fresh mozz, and vinegar onions, added arugula.

I moved from vicinity of their Bensonhurst location to now the vicinity of their Huguenot location…read more The paninis at Bensonhurst are #1 and cannot be beat. I wish I could say the same about this location. I understand that this concept is express, so everything might be made faster, but definitely everything is for pick up, no dining. But the way the paninis are made are very messy and shows lack of effort in presentation and taste. Sun dried tomatoes are just slapped on in the center, not spread out. Paninis are under toasted, without a crunch. Customer service is okay. Friendly employees. However, on one occasion, either the person handling the phone got my order wrong, or the one making it, but my panini had eggplants in it when the menu doesn't say there are eggplants. Iced latte was incredibly disappointing, tasteless and watered down. Extra $0.50 for syrup. P20: 4/5 P24: 1/5 P25: 2/5 Iced latte: 1/5 I highly advise against ordering an hour before closing because their work gets sloppier. The website linked on yelp is inaccurate in terms of prices, but if you google their menu, it leads you to a different site with accurate prices.

I'm really glad Panino Rustico opened a location in South Shore of SI. The paninis are so good and…read moresalads are also the perfect healthy and tasty side. The salad I got had arugula, two burrata balls, avocado, fire roasted bell peppers, and balsamic glaze. I'd definitely get this again! The panini was also really good - it has mozzarella, pesto, tomatoes, and a good amount of prosciutto. The size is perfect for me (not as big as Filocinos). I've gotten the chicken panini with goat cheese but found that combo to be a bit dry so I recommend anything with mozzarella and a protein that's not chicken. The parking lot is really small so I recommend delivery or walking to pick up, if possible. Not pictured here but I like their Iced Coffee as well! I will probably order a few times a month - quick, healthy, and tasty!

Friendly nice people who work there and own it. One day I was having some people over and I went to Pastosa for there homemade garlic toast rounds to but Brushetta on them as a little appetizer. They were completely out of them they couldn't make them in the timeframe I had. One of the people who work there saw how disappointed I was and went into the kitchen to get me there actual recipe on exactly how to make them myself. They actually took the time to explain how to make them and I bought everything I needed to go home to replicate these delicious garlic round toasts. They even cut up the Italian breads into the right size pieces. What a wonderful thing to do for me. In addition their prepared food is always fresh and delicious and this made this particular Pastosa SPECIAL TO ME.
