Swing by Anthony and Son Panini Shoppe for killer sandwiches, fresh bagels, and indulgent milkshakes—an Italian gem perfect for a quick bite in Williamsburg!
"Anthony & Son is like a little Italian-American Eataly in Williamsburg. They sell stuffed peppers, octopus, pasta, fried cauliflower, and all sorts of meats and cheeses. But the main events are the sandwiches, stuffed with everything from fries and mozzarella sticks to steak, bacon, and chicken cutlets. This is purely a takeout operation, so stop by for a quick lunch that’ll make you want to run a marathon. If you don't know which of the 60-plus sandwiches to order, go for The Godfather with peppers, fresh mozzarella, and six kinds of cured meat." - Bryan Kim
"A slice of the Williamsburg of yesteryear, Anthony and Son Panini Shoppe is a force to be reckoned with. Their menu is extensive as it is delicious. All sandwiches are made to order and at reasonable prices. Eat like a firefighter, go to Anthony’s!" - Krrb
"If you live in the section of North Williamsburg by McCarren Park and the BQE, it is your duty as a Williamsburg citizen to try the heros and other Italian specialties at Anthony & Sons at least once. We love their Italian combo (called “The Godfather Hero”) for lunch, but a little-known fact is that Anthony & Sons also make extravagant milkshakes made with things like Italian rainbow cookies and cannoli. You can even add a shot of espresso to it, like an evolved version of the Frappuccinos you used to buy at Starbucks in the 2000’s. Try one the next time you’re having a bad day." - hannah albertine
"Sabino Curcio, co-owner of the almost three-decade-old sandwich spot Anthony and Son Panini Shoppe, says that he has seen a bump in sales from customers coming in from all over the tristate area, which he attributes in part to launching Anthony and Son’s TikTok account in the fall of 2020." - Emma Orlow
