"Meats sliced to-order make all the difference at this very serious Italian deli with Sardinian roots. As an importer of tangy-spicy ‘nduja, you’ll find Bottega Gabriele's homemade spreadable salami stuffed between springy focaccia rectangles, along with other excellent stuff like mortadella, dolce sardo, lemon-dressed arugula, and purple olive tapenade. All that—plus bossa nova elevator music and employees that speak fluent Italian—makes for a sit-down sandwich experience that’s equally exciting and chill." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley
"We’re no strangers to the boat sandwich, and this season’s latest takes come from Sardinian deli Bottega Gabriele. Why do they work so well for aquatic travel? Maybe it’s the homemade ‘nduja imparting zaps of tangy heat to tapenade and marinated artichokes. Maybe it’s the fluffy focaccia. Or maybe it’s the bliss that comes with eating Italian cold cuts on the bow of a Bayliner T22SC. Just a hunch." - gabe guarente, kayla sager riley, aimee rizzo

"This is a sandwich counter that’s inside something called the Little Italy Cultural Center. It doesn’t feel like a restaurant as much as a room with a collection of items in it. Foosball table, paintings, dry goods, sandwiches? Don’t ask questions, just order the nduja sandwich, which pairs the meaty spread with salami, tapanade, artichokes, and arugula. It’s a porky, earthy delight that’s just spicy enough — it’s what an Italian peasant would eat if he worked in one of the nearby office towers and wanted a sandwich worth $16. (Just don’t expect Subway-esque speed: When we went, there was only one worker taking orders and making sandwiches.)" - Harry Cheadle
