I went with a Nina and subbed the tomatoes for hot peppers. It had at least a 1/4lb of prosciutto and nice thick slices of smoked mozzarella. I didn't really get any smoked flavor from mozzarella but it was good nonetheless. I got the rustico bread which was nice and fresh and crusty. At $14.50 it's definitely a splurge for a sandwich though it's big enough to split.
cappone's is serving up quite the italian sandwiches. I opted for the salvatore on fresh semolina and couldn't be happier with my choice. i will definitely be back to sample other items on the menu… what a treat!
This review is for an experience with delivery only – unfortunately, not just a miscommunication with Seamless couriers, but instead with the Cappone's staff and delivery service.
Today, I placed an order for one sandwich (no additions or substitutions) through Seamless, and was provided an estimated delivery time of 30 minutes. Great!
After an hour had gone by, I called Cappone's. I was greeted by a woman on the other end of the phone who proceeded to scold me, saying they'd "just been there, trying to buzz in and calling over and over again". I informed her that I had not received one call, nor any 'buzzes in', and she told me that my phone "MUST be on silent or something, because I MEAN….". I said ma'am – my phone is not on silent, I have been waiting patiently for my order this entire time. She then read my phone number back to me, which they had gotten incorrect. I double-checked that my phone number was entered correctly into Seamless (it was) – so they had somehow written it down wrong (I didn't mention this over the phone). I calmly told her the correct phone number – and she slammed down the receiver.
The food came half an hour later – 100 minutes after I ordered it. I was scolded and spoken down to by both the woman on the phone and the delivery guy, because they failed to write down my phone number correctly. Apparently this is my fault. I think it goes without saying, but no apology was ever offered at any point – for the rudeness, or for the delay in the order.
I tried the Pacino sandwich (on ciabatta). It was terrific. Highly recommend.
Fantastic sandwich here the other day; I had The Salvatore (roast chicken breast, provolone, sweet roasted reds, and arugula $11) I upgraded the bread to fresh baked semolina which proved to be a worthy investment as well, nice and crunchy, a perfect vessel for my sandwich. Capped it off with an Italian soda, and ate right at the counter. A+, will return.
First impressions are everything.
Unfortunately, it will be a while until I will be back. Went here on my way over to the highlife to grab lunch. I made the mistake of ordering the daily special which was a roast beef sandwich. The roast beef had nearly zero flavor and the little taste I could detect was not pleasant. I heard my mother yelling at me in my head "never order the special, that's the food they want to get rid of" as I begrudgedly ate my sandwich….alright alright mom.
Normally this would be the death nail to any restaurant but this place scores major points in other areas. The cashier as all the guys working there were super nice, and they accepted my credit card without a problem. If I had to do it again I think would go with the chicken cutlet they ha on display that was topped with bacon. Never reject bacon.
All the sandwiches are made with care, although this really slowed down the hole process. They wrote your order on a paper bag and hand it to the guys making the sandwiches who definitely take there time making the sandwiches. All the cold cuts are in a refrigerator rhomd them and they would take out one meat, place it in your sandwich, put it back in the fridge, take the next one, put it on your sandwich…..you get the idea…. It wasn't exactly efficient. It seemed like they were new so this will probably improve. It appeared as though all the tomatoe sauce and pesto were all home made. Although you should expect to pay $10+ for all the sandwiches This place takes time to include quality ingredients, so I am open to giving it another shot.
Ok, the sandwich was alright, but how the hell is this place rated so highly? Have you guys ever been to an Italian deli before?
Set up in Gansevoort Market, this is a prototypical Italian deli. Sandwich combos are fairly typical with some interesting combos included. Prices are high but given the location in a touristy food hall, this is to be expected. Still, my sandwich on a small hero roll (~6") came to close to $15 which to me is pretty steep. Countermen work slowly because they take out the ingredients one by one, as others have mentioned; I've been to delis where they can turn out sandwiches at least twice as fast as these guys. Seating can be a challenge at this market but we made due.
I got the Salvatore with roasted chicken breast, provolone, roasted peppers and arugala. It was fine but not as good as it shoudl've been, especially at this price. The provolone was a basic cold cut, not a sharp provolone like I thought it would be; I probably wouldn't have order it if I knew this. The chicken was alright but I was expecting something sliced thicker and hot rather than them turning it into a cold cut. The roasted peppers were good for what little there was of them. The bread, which they pride themselves on baking every morning, wasn't anything special. As a whole, this was an alright sandwich; again, it was not bad. It just was overpriced, skimpy and not worth the trouble.
I wasn't even full after eating this. Put more stuff on your sandwiches, guys.
Meh. Ordered the Napoli after taking the recommendation of the man behind the counter.
Bread was cold, mozzarella didn't taste fresh. Incredibly over-priced for the quality and size of sandwich. For $15, at least throw in a bag of chips or a drink!
Over-priced, underwhelming. Pass.
