Cicci Di Carne

Great sandwiches on fantastic bread. I had the Grande Tullio and even tho it didn’t look like the picture it still tasted great and fresh. I can’t express how fresh the bread was. Definitely makes you want to eat sandwiches for every meal for the next few days. Service was great on my visit. The guy behind the counter was extremely friendly and nice. And the guy in the kitchen whipped up the sandwich quickly. Great lunch spot.

Just superb! Absolutely a delicacy! This panino brings me back to Italy! The ingredients are so fresh and the layers are so well balanced. Being an Italian I’m happy that they opened it right in Downtown. It was super light, as we say “leggero.” You wouldn’t expect it from a panino but wow! I wonder if they have different types of pane, like the more crunchy pane pugliese. That would be amazing. Overall super recommended!

We’re currently staying at Conrad Downtown and completely stumbled here upon accident. We wanted a Starbucks sandwich but they closed early so my boyfriend found this restaurant. The owner was nice enough to give him a free caprese sandwich and upon taking the first bite, I can certainly say that it was truly amazing. I am not a sandwich person by any means and I’m certainly not a vegetarian sandwich person either but W O W was each bite better than the last. The burrata was so soft and tender, the tomatoes ripe and crunchy, and the pesto sauce was to die for. The crunch of the bread… heavenly. I’m sad I’m only here for 3 more days because I can definitely see myself coming back for way more.

Ordered via UberEats. This place did not disappoint. I liked the tuna melt very much. Flavors were balanced and the arugula just added a bit of a bitter kick. Will order again!

First off, the location on Google maps is inaccurate - Cicci di Carne is right next to PJ Clarks facing the marina. If it looks like it's closed - it's probably not. They were open at 11am on a Friday when I visited, but I had to ask to be sure. The sandwiches are generously sized and very good: quality meats, super fresh creamy burrata and just the right squishy-but-crusty bread for perfect sandwich ergonomics. We tried the Piccante Zia Tosca (which felt conceived and spiced for an American audience - I can't say I've had anything this spicy in Italy - it's your classic multi-meat NY Italian Hero option, if you're the kind of person who adds the hot peppers) and the Nonno Dario (its very Italian counterpoint - burrata, mortadella, pistachio pesto e basta). Everything was delicious, but oddly the cheese and the bread stood out the most to me, despite it being a butcher-based concept (which is not to say the meat was lesser, just that those elements were particularly outstanding). It seems like a difficult location so I hope they do well. The lady taking orders did mention that this location will only be open 6 months, then they are moving somewhere on the west side, I'm going to assume Hudson Yards? It also looks like you can purchase sliced meats here like a proper deli, which I would definitely do if I lived in the area. Prices seem fair for the quality.

Amazing food, but the service is unbelievably poor, unfriendly and rude. If you can deliver, do it, the quality is great, but the barista will 100% ruin your experience. Maybe because of friends visiting/accent he thought we were tourists, and therefore he assumed and accused me for some reason to have cut the line and I never got to order my espresso. Sad.

I've been here before and the food it pretty good. However, DO NOT ORDER FOR DELIVERY. I ordered sandwiches for my friend and I for lunch 3 hours ago and still have not received my order (needless to say I'm starving lol). I tried to get help and was directed to their phone number which let me tell you, does not work. The operating system offers two options - leave a message and speak to a customer service rep. Every time I tried to speak to someone it directed me back to the original menu so the only option is to leave a message which it seems like no one is even listening to. I honestly don't even care about the sandwich at this point, would just like my $40 back but seems like the only way to do that is go speak to someone in the store. So ridiculous! DO NOT GO HERE SAVE YOURSELF THE HEADACHE.

The most outstanding Italian sandwich board you'll ever experience. I've lived in New York my whole life and look forward to eating here every day. Cicci is our little secret gem in the Brookfield Place mall. Thanks for making life better.
