Cappone's Italian Sandwich Shop and Salumeria

I had stopped by after seeing all the high ratings and I had got a sandwich called Vito, which is salami, mozzarella, artichokes and Olive paste. Overall the sandwich was quite large and weighing in at about $17 so I did feel like I got my money's worth... Full for the rest of the day... The sandwich itself was tasty and the staff was friendly. One minor note that the olive paste was slightly watery I like it a little bit more briny..not the end of the world...Very cozy spot overall, and plenty of seating I would definitely go back and try their other sandwiches. A nice change of pace and clever mix of ingredients... I have not seen that before... Very Italian feel to the restaurant!

At first, I thought it was too simple for a $17 sandwich. But after finishing the whole thing, it was quite good. I got the Pietro. I think the bread could have been toasted / tasted a bit more elevated. The cheese was really nice, and there was a good spread of basil and tomato. The vinaigrette sauce was amazing. They have a daily $15 special. Feels very neighborhood and chill, with 4 or so tables to sit at.

UNBELIEVABLE!!!! I am so impressed by the sandwiches here. The quality is top notch and it was so delicious. We got the meatball parm (special) which was easily the best meatball parm sub of my life… I have high standards for meatballs and this one passed the test. The quality and freshness of the meat, cheese, sauce and bread was so good. The sauce was so good too. It also wasn’t that messy aside from some sauce but most importantly it held up and didn’t fall apart. Cannot wait to come back and try other menu items.

Not exaggerating, the Cappone is the best sandwich i've ever had. It has the perfect ratio and flavors. The staff is super friendly and it's always a quick stop. I have tried other sandwiches in NYC but still none compare to the Cappone!

As a man of many sandwiches; this is the best I've ever had. I went with the Aldo but there are no wrong answers here. Literally every ingredient was done perfectly and in perfect amounts. Let's start with the bread - the best; one could spend half a lifetime to perfect such an art. Everything was so fresh; the arugula shined through a combination of sopressatta, mozzarella, and the best made sweet red peppers I've ever known. Perfectly cut ingredients. If you're searching for a sandwich, please stop and just come here.

This is an excellent sandwich shop if it we in a small town outside Cincinnati, but the reality is that if you are opening a competitor sandwich shop that’s only a few blocks from Faicco’s you really need to step up your game. The $20 flagship sandwich was pretty good but not incredible. Overly saturated in balsamic dressing and easily finished by one person. In other words the sando was small. The ingredients are very nice but sandwich art is delicate and cannot be thrown together without care, especially at this price point.

Amazing, truly great tasting food and more importantly, great customer service. Real Heroes with the size to match. My wife has fallen in love with their sandwiches. BTW, the owner there checks in with you to make sure everything is to your liking. He’s one of the most authentic, professional and friendly people out here!! Check them out!

Food was great and the people making the sandwiches are sweet and fast!! So much love is put in the heroes. The bread is crunchy and savory and the meat and veggies are tender. Would definitely come again especially for the Hot Honey Chicken cutlet sandwich best option there!!!

OMG! I was famished, wandering the streets and out of the darkness of Google Maps there was Cappone's. Blinded by hunger and in need of a sandwich the owner guided me towards their Hot Honey Special and holy moly was it wonderful...approachable, delicious and memorable. I hope the Hot Honey stays on the menu and these guys keep up the great work...will be going back!

Since moving across the river, I'd been on the hunt for an Italian hero that could go toe to toe with Second Street or Andrea's in Jersey City. Cappone's definitely fit the bill. Tucked into a shady corner of 8th Ave on the north end of the West Village, Cappone's deals out about a dozen and a half varieties of cold sandwiches and another half dozen or so hot, all made in house. Order at the register, choose your bread (seeded semolina, unseeded semolina, ciabatta, brick oven), and be prepared to wait, particularly during the lunch rush You probably won't go wrong with anything you choose, but I kept it to the classic Cappone (capicola,, soppresatta, salami, fresh mozz, provolone, arugula, hot peppers, balsamic) on ciabatta, figuring the ciabatta would hold up better since I'd only eat half for lunch and chuck the rest in the fridge. The sandwich was spot on: loaded with quality meat/cheese, and the saltiness offset by the creamy mozzarella. The sandwiches don't come cheap ($18-22), but you'll get two solid meals out of them. Places like this stay in business in the Village for a reason.

This was our second attempt at eating here; the first time, the line was way out the door, and I didn't feel like fighting the influencers. The popularity of this place meant I had high expectations. And today, when we finally ate their sandwiches, I gotta say: Cappone's did not disappoint. Husband ordered the Napoli; I had a special: the hot honey chicken sandwich. Both were very very good -- one sandwich is surely two meals. I particularly loved the semolina bread, which I thought worked perfectly with my hot sandwich (perhaps less so with the more classic cold cuts that my husband had). As we sat waiting for our meal -- it took a while, but they were slammed and they were hustling -- I sort of wish I'd got the meatball sandwich, because the meatballs looked amazing. I'll definitely be back to try that. A super friendly place. Limited seating, but we were able to nab a table, even on a busy Saturday. Definitely recommend.

I really miss having a good local, sandwich shop! I stopped in after a visit at the Whitney and was delighted by the quaint shop, friendly staff, and freshness. I ordered the Cappone, as it had great reviews and I knew I wanted something filling. First, the meat, veggies, and cheeses are fresh. The bread was a bit stiff, but perfectly held everything together. I went with everything on it and loved the sweet, salty balsamic + perfect amount of hot peppers that accompanied the thick slice of mozz. I ate half there and saved the remaining half for dinner. Limited seating inside, but everyone was friendly and we shared tables. Great atmosphere and a short-ish walk from the meat packing district.

I don't normally just eat "sandwiches" as I noticed most places use this as an excuse to sell you mostly "filler bread". HOWEVER, this place is the EXCEPTION! Their sandwiches are of the highest quality; FRESH and actually contain a good amount of high-quality meat! Of course, their huge bread selection is equally amazing! As Noel, my sandwich artist exclaimed "I make all the sandwiches as if I was making them for myself." Those words is exactly how I felt about the two sandwiches I ordered while I was there! Made with love! Another reason I usually don't frequent sandwich shops is there is no place to sit; they expect you to buy & get out; but NOT at Cappone's as they actually have many comfortable seating options to enjoy your sandwhich!

Classic Italian sandwich shop. The sandwiches are huge and can easily be split with a friend. Service was friendly and everyone in here were working hard. I ordered the Napoli $19 and the cashier recommended the seeded bread. It was filled with soppresatta fresh mozz and olive spread. It was so good. Everything tasted fresh and bread was soft. There's a clean restroom and plenty of seatings.

Another gem I wish I'd found sooner . Amazingly fresh and top quality ingredients. My sandwich was top tier. I had a brief chat with the owner who informed me of some dinner specials he currently has and I will be back to get in on the deals. Friendly staff and you can feel the pride they stand behind in the taste of the food. Some tables for dining in and a counter with seats. The space is small but not cramped. I had the signature sandwich The Cappone. The meats were succulent and flavorful and hot pepper and slightly sweet balsamic along with the cheese and arugula, yummy. The perfect balance of flavors on the most delicious seeded bread. Filling too. Hot sandwiches available too. Another customer was chowing down on a meatball sub and suggested I get ththat too. Vegetarian sandwich options available. There a bathroom and I must note here that the accessibility to the shop is up a few stairs . I asked one of the workers what happens if someone disabled comes to the shop, he said he lifts them in. I knew he was only halfway joking. He said he'll help anyone up- baby stroller , walker anyone who comes there will not leave with getting served. They tried to make the front accessibility compliant but since this is a landmark building it was not successful. He assured me they take care of everyone. There a table out front for dining as well. Craving a good sangweech (that's what they call them ) come here.

Cappone's is a small spot, but it's big on flavor, especially when it comes to their signature sandwiches. I ordered the Cappone, and it was fantastic--definitely worth recommending. While the restaurant is on the smaller side, it has a cozy, authentic vibe that's hard to find in NYC. The staff was friendly and made the experience all the better. The sandwiches are a bit pricey, but they're large and packed with high-quality ingredients, so the value is there. If you're craving a great Italian sandwich, this is the place to go.

This is the best sandwich spot in the west village . I've had the cappone , meatball and roastbeef and they were all awesome. They make sure each bite is a great one and I mean they pay close attention to how they construct each sandwich .

The "Cappone" at Cappone's. Love at first bite. #Capicola, #soppressata #salami #provolone #arugula #mozzarella #hotpeppers This place is on par with All Antico, with seating and almost no wait.

Oh so I tried the Sinatra ( tuna, homemade caponata and fontina) today...outstanding. If I keep eating here I'll need to get to the gym more often. Seriously they do have wholesome and healthy options too! This is a gem in the West Village.

My go to for the best Italian Subs in Manhattan. Walk in, call in, order directly online for pick up or delivery. If you ride the m14A, the first stop across from Abingdon Square is just outside Cappones, and Jane St playground around the corner, too. Bread is fresh, and fillings are flavorful and of highest quality.

Great sandwich shop with a lot of choices. My go to is the Cappone sandwich which has Capicola, salami, soppressata, mozz, arugula and hot peppers. I choose semolina bread every time. Delicious, the way an Italian hoagie should taste like. Stop by if your near west village/chelsea/meatpacking area.

I come here every Saturday that I'm home to get a sandwich. They have weekend specials often including a beef or pork roast. If you are lucky enough to get a pork shoulder roast sandwich, you will NOT be disappointed. Has a family feel and the sandwich comes nicely wrapped to go. Highly recommend this spot.

At last there's a new place in the neighborhood that feels like it's been around forever. The sandwiches here are absolutely incredible. They're the kind of thing you fantasize about and it becomes impossible to order anything but your obsessive order. The couple who own the place are always there and are friendly, down--to-earth and great at making a sandwich shop/restaurant/place to watch the soccer matches. A total gem of a place that's beautiful without being precious... This place is a beautiful thing.

Delicious packed sandwich, heaps of flavour, friendly service. Great for an easy lunch.

Guess what folks? This shop loved for its great sandwiches now offers dinner plates for $15 and they rock!! Great value for great food. I had a crispy, moist chicken cutlet parmigiana served over a sliced eggplant. Hearty portion. Had choice for four salads. I chose the watermelon and cucumber- yummy and the Greek salad. So delish. So satisfying and what a great price! This is what the neighborhood needs! I was offered a freshly made rice ball that was so creamy - best I ever had!! Go!!!

Amazing sandwiches and friendly staff. Would definitely recommend and would go back anytime I'm in the area

The Prime Rib hero with caramelized onions and provolone was out of this world. My wife even said it was "on another level." And it was... epic. This is the sandwich I wish I could have late at night when I'm in serious need of comfort food. The eggplant parm was delicious also. The owner, Peter, is gracious, very friendly and appreciates his customers. Run! Don't walk to try Cappone's. You'll want one in your neighborhood too.

Bread is fresh and sandwiches are good sized. Chicken breast was dry with no flavor and the meatballs were red inside which were concerning. I was disappointed because i've heard raving.

I'm not a sandwich person, but my husband tried this sandwich in Chelsea Market last year and it looked so good I had to have a bite. It was fantastic, and when we went home to Illinois, we tried to replicate it--while we came close, nothing is as good as this one! When I'm NYC again this year, we went to Chelsea Market again just for this sandwich, and we were so sad to see they'd closed! But a quick google search showed us they had another store open. We made sure to detour before heading to the airport just so we could get their Cappone sandwich. The ingredients are fresh, and the flavors are fantastic! They'll be moving to a permanent location soon, so we'll be sure to look them up when we return. Everyone needs these sandwiches in their life!!

let me tell you im not italian ,but everytime i want to celebrate my boss birthday i always order the godfather boy did he love it now he wants to eat it all the time, so is my female boss now i got her hook to that sandwich salumeria has the most amazing sanwiches ,i recommend you to try one "godfather" sandwich you will not regret it.

Meatball sandwich was absolutely delicious. Super convenient and the staff was really great. Definitely will be going back!

Simply the best Italian deli in Manhattan. I've had them all and Cappone's is top IMO. I've been there 4-5 times in the last month and they're consistent. Bread is always fresh, specials are creative and they use real authentic Italian ingredients that can't be found elsewhere. The bread is oustanding. I'm halfway through my sandwich right now (Altar Boy) and had to stop to write this review. The owners are extremely friendly and inviting. Don't miss this place

love the place!!! not only is food great but the watermelon salad saved me from dehydrating post covid four!!! I was able to get healthy meal daily. great neighbors - helps that i live feet away from this place. highly recommend Cappone's
