La Panineria

“It should be noted the Robiola fresh cream chese on the Parma is out of this world – and then combined with the thinly sliced prociutto – WOW.”

“This is the best panini I have had outside of Italy and Mario and all who work there are lovely.”

“Paestum
The quality prosciutto and a creamy-milky mozzarella were so simple and delicious. .”

  1. This review is for the sandwich alone.

    I stopped by before running to the train.
    I was starving and saw the check-in Yelp offer, which I didn't need in the end. All sandwiches come with a soda.

    I got the Parma (#1) sandwich on a baguette. Bread was fresh. They took a little while to warm up my sandwich. The lady preparing it was carefully slicing a giant slab of prosciutto.

    I had to run out after I got it, but could not help myself and sat on a bench outside and inhaled half of it. You know a sandwich is good when you can't stop saying: "Hmmmmmm," and "oh, yeah."

  2. The "Yelp deal" is not exclusive to Yelp – it's the same deal they offer at the restaurant. That being said, the deal is still pretty good. I came here yesterday with my friend Tiff, who has raved about their prosciutto and cheese panini. We ordered one to share since the sandwiches are so big! $10 is a steep price to pay for a sandwich, and I wouldn't come here unless I decided to split one. Truth be told, I'd probably pick another sandwich joint if my stomach was running on empty.

    I am a huge fan of prosciutto, and their Parma (#1) sandwich did not disappoint. Whatever cheese they paired with it really complimented the prosciutto's saltiness. Top notch ingredients.

  3. I ordered this delivery via seamless.

    Prosciutto, mozzarella, basil and olive oil on a baguette.

    It was fine, but not $16 fine. The meat portions were skimpy, the mozzarella tasted like it was from the grocery store (definitely not fresh) and the bread was on the stale side.

    Walk down and go to Alidoro. Their portions, ingredients and bread are much better than this place.

  4. PROSCIUTTO.  

    I had a real craving for a prosciutto sandwich (I get them A LOT).  So I decided to venture out after my barre class.  I decided on La Panineria and walked from class.  Google Maps was totally playing a joke on me because I had some trouble finding the place.  Undeterred, I called them.  La Panineria is a tiny sandwich shop next to La Pain Quotidien.  I had to rush because they said they were closing at 8:30 instead of 9.

    I got the #2 (Prosciutto, mozzarella and EVOO) on a baguette, slightly toasted.  Omg, it totally satisfied me (in the risotto kind of way – Seinfeld anyone??).

    The sandwich is huge (and quite meaty) for only $10 (I've paid way more for a less satisfying prosciutto sandwich!).  AND you get soda or water.  

    I MUST COME BACK.

  5. Aye, I got myself in trouble with this one.  I was at the spa next door and I was looking up places to get something quick, and I don't know why I chose to walk in here because I have been working out so hard and eating so healthy and I will probably gain 50 million pounds after this place.

    Cute, charming, and small…a simple menu, designed to make it easy to order, which of course you can still make your own sammy, but I chose to order from their array.  

    If you don't like proscuitto, then I hate you.  I mean, don't come here.  Most of their sandwiches consists of it.  

    If you don't like mozzarella or burrata, then you need to die.  I meant, don't come here.  They make their own and it's simple and fresh, and added to a lot of their menu items.  

    Anyways, their proscuitto was sliced like tissue thin, not paper thin, but thinner!  So light, not too salty, probably the best proscuitto I can think of.  I got it on a baguette, with the burrata, dripping out of the sides, ooey and gooey, with just some tomato and arugula (mainly for color? jk).

    I devoured it.  I didn't even give it a chance to look pretty, and I still regret giving a piece to my friend who said "that's f*cking retarded" because that's how good it was. I really still am bitter about it.

    And the service was nice, both pretty ladies genuinely smiling.  

    Oh and you get a free drink with your order, and also the prices are way off online!! It's way cheaper when you go there.  Including their truffle and burrata sandwiches.

  6. Came here after studying abroad in Florence, Italy for a few months for my panino fix, but I was disappointed 🙁 Seemed like a legitimately Italian panineria, but it just wasn't the same. Not that it was bad, just not the same. I got the Alba, and I thought it was just okay. I do like that it's $10, including a drink. Good cheap lunch option if you're in the area.

  7. Wow the reviews here really blew up. This place has changed a bit since I've been there but most have been for the better. More sandwich listings and more extra options.

    The vatellina is still my favorite though the Peppe and Olga are both excellent.

    Burrata is expensive but well worth it as well.

    I've always gotten my food on site. It seems the poorer reviews are for ordering, maybe that's the issue?

  8. Saw a ROTD and bookmarked it as a place to visit for whenever I was in the neighborhood.  

    I guess my expectations were too high.  The sandwich was ok, but not anywhere close to amazing.  

    I ordered #3-Alba: prosciutto, fontina cheese, and truffle oil on a whole wheat baguette.  With tax, the total came out to $11.98.  There was a decent amount of prosciutto and cheese with each bite.  The truffle oil tasted amazing with the sandwich.  The let down was the that the baguette was stale, way too chewy.  I was tired from chewing the sandwich.

    The espresso that came with the sandwich was delicious.  No sugar necessary as it wasn't bitter.
