Faicco's Italian Specialties

Perfect example of a "Great Sandwich Shop". As soon as you walk in, you have one cook for your whole visit. They'll greet you, take your order, make your order, have a small convo, and take your payment at the end. Sandwiches were amazing. I can't put into words how tasty they were. We had the Chicken Pesto Cutlet and the Italian Lover. They went heavy on the prosciutto and Roasted Red peppers without even asking for it (which i love). The sandwiches are $20 but the portions are so big you'll eat it for your next meal too. Besides the amazing food, they treated me like a regular and that genuine, sincere hospitality is so hard to find in this city. I can see how they've been open since the 1900's.

Faicco’s is my go-to deli for when I want to present the most delicious meats on a charcuterie platter. Their staff is incredibly friendly, patient and eagerly willing to let you sample until you find exactly what you’re looking for each visit. While meats are sliced and packaged in the same area where other staff is assembling the fresh subs, I have never had a single issue being gluten free with how the designated staff handles the deli meat. While they do not have gluten free bread options for their subs, there are zero complaints when you can purchase the same deli meats here and safely assemble your own at home! After witnessing the impressive sub assembly line in person, I purchased The Italian sub for a family member via Door Dash (approximately $30 total) and it was the most beautiful sub I’ve ever seen. In addition to the impeccable flavor that they reported, they noted how fresh the ingredients were and the generous serving of each ingredient. If there were ever an occasion that warranted splurging on a sandwich, it would definitely be at this place.

We got there 5 minutes to close. The gentleman at the counter was very polite and took and made our sub. This is a deli / meat market. Amazingly clean and organized store. Sandwiches are made to order. My wife and i had the chicken pesto sub, which was more than enough to split. We loved it. We definitely go back there to enjoy another sandwich.

hmmm. I wanted to love this sandwich. I was disappointed, though, at least in their Italian Special. Reasonable portion of coldcuts; however, the bread was a bit too crusty for my liking. The most disappointing of all was the muzz: very dry and thinly layered--it cannot hold a candle to the delis across the Hudson (for disclosure, I'll admit my geographic bias on that front. Not a bad sandwich, but not an Italian deli that I'll be revisiting for a $20+ sandy.

Literally the BEST sandwiches in NYC. They have been around since 1900 and know what they are doing. If you are in Manhattan you have to come here. I also want to say that the staff here is AMAZING. They are super nice and fast! From the time you order your sandwich to the time they are done making it is maybe 3 mins total. That’s how fast they are. The sandwiches are huge and made with the freshest ingredients. It’s a deli style so no place to sit and eat but perfect to take the sandwich on the go. I highly recommend this spot.
