Oh yes, this is the Italian deli you would find in heaven. The cold cut sandwiches are beyond compare and in addition they've got some serious quality meats and cheeses. Its places like this that make NYC special.
Stopped by for a quick dinner. It is a deli/grocery store with a bunch of interesting items for you to peruse as you are waiting for your sub.
The subs seem quite pricy..until you realize how big they are. We ordered the turkey, mozzarella, and bacon sub with mayo, salt, and pepper, and it was giant. I split with a friend and even then, we were both food coma-ed afterwards. I wish I had taken a picture before we dug into the meal, because the size of the sandwich was really astounding!! Unfortunately, the sandwich itself comes across a bit bland. Good thing my friend had asked for mayo, salt, and pepper. Without these items the sandwich would have been near tasteless and too dry.
Still, great bang for your buck! I would definitely stop by to try another one of their subs!
In my opinion, perhaps the best chicken parm sandwich in New York, which is a pretty high compliment given the incredible competition in that department. The whole thing is just about perfect — the chicken, sauce, and cheese are all great, and the bread is exactly as crispy as you'd want it to be and wraps the whole thing perfectly.
I've also tried the meatball parm, which was also very good, but maybe not quite as world class. I've been meaning to try others as well, but it's really hard to go there (or order on Caviar) and not get the chicken parm.
Also, while I would definitely recommend going there in person (and then snagging a table somewhere nearby since Faicco's doesn't actually have any seats), I've actually found the quality via Caviar delivery to be really good. It's significantly more expensive, though, so I typically only do it when I have some kind of discount code, or if I'm in a seriously self-indulgent mood.
Hands down one of my favorite Italian sub places in this country. It easily competes with JP Graziano in Chicago that I probably had every other day while I lived there (don't judge). Service is quick, sometimes hurried, but whatever sandwich you get, you won't be disappointed. On a crowded street in West Village, it might be hard to spot it unless you're specifically looking for it, but take a look inside and tell me you can resist those delicious Italian subs.
I absolutely love this place. Everything here, from the sandwiches to the deli meats, this place has it all! I highly recommend the Italian Specialty Sandwich. $14.00 is a bit pricy for a sandwich from a deli I guess, but the sheer size of this mambo baby is phan-taste-ic. (Bun* intended). This place just makes me feel happy. Coming into a specialties store like this makes me excited and it is just filled with specialized prosciutto, salami, soprasetta, etc. I just loves it so much!! I have yet to try the refrigerated foods yet; however, I can say firmly that their meatball marinara was absolutely fantastic. Every time I come here, it's the meatball and the Italian, $24.00 and I'm out! and to be perfectly honest, I can only eat about 3/4ths of the sammich, and I eat a lot!
Five star chicken parm!!! While other stuff are solid but not as impressive as chicken parm. The cheese, the chicken, the tomato/pesto sauce, and the crispy cust bread. It's just perfect – the best chicken parm I had in the city so far. We usually order through caviar, which is fast and arriving warm.
I also tried meatball sandwich and rice balls. They are good too but not as outstanding as chicken parm is. I usually spilt two sandwiches with friend if I want more flavors but chicken parm is for sure one of them.
Needing a MEAL to keep myself full for the rest of the day, this spot looked like the perfect answer. Chunky subs overflowing with meat and cheese. Friday afternoon, there was barely any line at all, thus didn't have to take a number.
For my first time here, absolutely had to order the Italian Special ($14)….plus a prosciutto ball ($1.50), and a rice ball ($1.00). Apparently they already had one of the Italians made because he literally picked one up as soon as the words came out of my mouth. No worries, looked delicious. Heaping pile of meat that wasn't overbearing. The mozzarella was cut up well, though I think the sandwich could have used a bit of spicy mustard. As for the balls, found the rice ball to be lacking in flavor, but I keep emergency Sriracha in my desk for such cases. The prosciutto ball was much better and more balanced than it's veggie counterpart.
A bit on the expensive side, but honestly it's two meals in one (though I finished all of it in 15 minutes…hungry). No space to sit down, so go to the nearby park to enjoy the meal.
Been trying to make it to Faiccos since I moved to manhattan 2 years ago. Hours are tight so it took me a while to find the right opportunity. Finally came in on a Saturday around 1.
The place was hoppin with people. And I don't blame them. The place is great. Between packaged products, deli meats, beef and poultry and sausages, cured meats, etc this place has some awesome products.
We went for the sandwiches but ended up getting rice and prosciutto balls, as well as a slew of different dried meats.
The rice ball ($1) was amazing. The prosciutto ball ($1.50) was good but a little too heavy for me. The hot sopresatta ($16.99/lb) was amazing. Got a quarter lb. Also got a garlic caciattore dried sausage ($16.99/lb). Haven't cracked into it yet.
Now for the sandwiches. We got the chicken cutlet with broc rabbe and the italian special. Both were between $12-14. The cutlet with broc rabbe was good but just slightly too dry. The fresh mozz helped though. The italian special on the other hand was incredible. Absolutely perfect. Hot peppers, dried meats, prosciutto, veggies, just awesome. We subbed turkey instead of ham which was a great move. The thing was absolutely loaded. Great deal. See pic.
Side note, get a side or two of hot peppers. Highly spicy peppers. Soooo good. Even if they are just eating alongside the sammies.
Will definitely be back any time I'm in west village.
