Massi’s

Absolutely obsessed with this new sandwich spot! Everything is so fresh, and you can really taste the quality in every bite. I love that they’re seed oil free and use beef tallow instead—finally, a place where you can indulge without feeling gross afterward. I’ve tried three of their sandwiches so far, and every single one has blown me away. The Philly cheesesteak is next-level delicious, the vodka Parm sandwich is rich and satisfying, and the eggplant Parm is the perfect option if you want something a little lighter without sacrificing flavor. The fries are out of this world !!! Perfectly crispy, golden, and addicting. You can tell they’re made fresh and fried in something that actually tastes good. Five stars without hesitation. If you’re even remotely thinking about trying this place, do it. You won’t regret it.

Excellent sandwich. The bread is perfectly fresh baked, sandwiches were high quality and good portion, French fries fried in beef tallow which is a huge plus. Seating area had good Ac and was nice to sit with a friend to catchup. Employees were kind and accommodating. Seems they’re still getting their feet under them but I have to say this place exceeded my expectations and is one of the best food options in the area.

Everything I’ve tried here is 10/10, from the freshly made sourdough bread sandwiches to the AMAZING beef tallow fries! A great addition to Astoria. Will definitely be back!

I had the chicken parm sandwich and it was so fresh and tasty! you can literally see the bread being baked in-house, which is such a nice touch. The sandwich was crispy, flavorful, and not greasy at all. I’ve been trying to avoid seed oils, so finding a place in the neighborhood felt like like finding a gem. The fries were insanely good too..definitely addicting. Can’t wait to come back!!

I was really excited to try this place out. On paper it sounded incredible. Homemade sourdough rolls, awesome. Small, focused menu, great. However, my experience didn’t live up to what it could be. First off, the wait for two sandwiches was far too long. Secondly, the size of the sandwiches doesn’t match the price (look how little chicken is in there!). They were quite small and barely filled. Lastly, the salt level was way too high. I have good salt tolerance and I couldn’t finish the chicken with broccoli rabe. Until some of these issues get worked out, I don’t think I’ll be returning.

Good food, just bad on communication I guess. I watched other people get their orders before I did. Ordered to dine in and received my order to go bagged up.

Came here on a rainy day with my sister who likes to eat as clean as possible. Really enjoyed the smaller menu as someone who can't pick. So many delicious choices that it makes it almost hard to decide on your final order lol. A seed-oil free experience with delicious semolina sourdough bread. No joke, one of the best chicken vodka parms I've had. The philly is also so good. Don't even get me started on the fries. I have to shout out the service - not only did the cashier suggest a way to order our two subs and an extra fries in a way that was cheaper to us, they gave us another order of fries on the house which was so appreciated. We were touched. I hope you expand as a business -- maybe Brooklyn next? ;)

My husband and I split the Cubano, the Vodka Chicken parm, and an order of fries. Everything was delicious, especially the house-made bread rolls.

I heard that Massi's was havinga soft opening and decided tochevk it out. There was about 10-15 people waiting when I got there, but there was air conditioning in the back bar area (which has tvs showcasing games - looks like fun in the future). Took about maybe 15 minutes for the two sandwiches I ordered- which was great. Massi's makes their own semolina sourdough heroes which you can see baking while you wait. The bread was crunchy and has sesame seeds and just gave these sandwiches another dimension of flavor. Sandwiches 1. Philly cheesecake- so delish!!! The chopped beef has such a nice flavor with the sautéed onions and cooper cheese. 2. Grilled chicken and broccoli rabe - the chicken was moist and flavorful. Along with the garlicky rabe provolone - omg this one is also so good. These flavors taste like a gourmet dish . The rabe was soft and tasty not tart or sour like Iam used to. Service was quick and everyone was nice and welcoming. Also the guys working were handsome - so many positive to return. But on a serious not many places make decent sandwiches but the the flavors don't stand out. Massi's flavors stand out against each other and the freshly baked baked is the cherry on top. I do wish the sandwiches were bigger, however that won't stop me from returning to try some of the other selections. Thank you

Ordered: Philly Cheesesteak Combo (~$23): semolina sourdough sandwich with sliced ribeye, cooper cheese, sautéed onions; with French fries and canned soda (Coke Zero) Aya's take: From the teams behind Somedays Bakery and Chip City comes Massi's Sandwiches! They recently opened in Astoria and the menu is pretty simple. They specialize in Italian sandwiches made on their housemade semolina sourdough bread, and I was excited to give it a try! They weren't busy at all yet my order took ~15 minutes to be ready. I wouldn't have minded but the fries were barely warm and the Philly cheesesteak was no longer warm after finishing the first half. The sliced ribeye and cooper cheese are a great combination and the sautéed onions really cuts through a lot of the fat and greasiness. I'm a big fan of the semolina sourdough but I could tell it wasn't the freshest; it was slightly hard and chewy. I love that the French fries are fried in beef tallow but again, I wish they were hot & fresh! They got quite stale and lacked flavor after a while. It's a good one-time try for me; I don't know if I'd go out of my way to come back.

They finally opened!! Well, their soft opening and we were able to go in and order something. Although, when we got there it was around 6 ish pm so we were told they ran out of fries, their chicken parm sandwich, their philly sandwhich and more. This didn't deter us , we decided to go with their eggplant parm and meatball sandwich. Once we ordered we just waited like everyone else did. The staff member would call your name once your order has been filled. We saw how busy they were but were able to be very friendly and greeted people as they came in. Once we got our orders we went to our apt (so close by) and opened these bad boys! We saw how the filling was almost falling out of the sandwich but they were strong enough to not break apart. Btw - they make their own bread so it makes sense that they ensure that their bread can handle whatever fillings will be going in between the sandwiches. Anyways - the eggplant parm first - Amazing! There weren't huge chucks where you'll be pulling them out as you take a bite. They were made in such as way that every time you bite into it, you get all the filling in one bite and in every bite. No slipping and sliding. For the meatballs - they are HUGE! in the bread. They were also amazing and while I personally love both, I think I like the meatball more. It was seasoned well, not salty and the meat is tender Also - the meatballs are all beef! I asked! My bf said the bread hurts his teeth but he could just have sensitive and weak teeth lol cause for me I thought it was fine! Only giving it a 4 stars right now cause I'm waiting to try their chicken parm and philly. They are legit right across from where I live so I'm excited for their offical opening. Oh, for one sandwich it's about $17 and while at first you might think it's a lot. Keep in mind, they make their own sourdough bread! That machine cost money! But one sandwich deff will get you full so I think it's worth it! Plus if you get the combo (if available) it'll be like 21 or 22 dollars - not too bad in these day and age. This place for sure is worth going to.

Massi's had their 1st soft opening a few weeks prior, and we were excited to check out their saniches, particularly the Vodka Chicken Parm and the Grilled Chicken and Broccoli Rabe. Did you know that they make their own sourdough bread? Their Massi's Combo was a good deal, as it comes with a side of french fries (house-cut Idaho potatoes, fried in beef tallow) and a canned soda. Staff were friendly, and the sandwiches were made-to-order. Don't fret if you missed the 1st round, as their 2nd soft opening is scheduled real soon! +housemade sourdough bread +Massi's Combo +friendly staff & service

New samwich spot on Broadway. I had the cheesesteak, it was delicious but small, a bit salty, not sure if that was from the cooper cheese or the meat. The bread was delicious and soft. The fries were some of the best I've had, cooked in beef tallow. Other joints should try their fries! Staff was super nice. Nice big seating area in the back, A/C blasting on a hot summer day, games playing on the big screen, clean modern bathroom to wash up, A bit pricey to put it in the regular rotation. But I'll definitely be back. 4 1/2 stars

New sandwich place opened so we decided to give it a try. We got the Philly cheesesteak fries and vodka parm sandwich. Both were pretty good, especially the shoe string fries. The sandwich itself, I think the chicken could've been less dry but still had good flavor and the bun was pretty good. The price is kinda high but at least the food was good. It's definitely something I'd get again. Service was fairly quick and there are places to sit down or just eat out the window.

I saw this place on Instagram and the ads for the restaurant look interesting. They was cooking food different than other sandwich shops in the city so I decided to go there for lunch. They use no seed oils and fry their fries in beef tallow like McDonald's used to do. When you walk in, you order your food and then they hand you the food once it's done. The drinks are conveniently placed below you when you order; basic drinks like coke, sprite and water. For the food, I ordered the combo which comes with fries and drink. I will start with the positive. My sandwich was the vodka chicken Parm. The chef only put pesto on half of the sandwich so idk if it was supposed to be that way. The sandwich was big; two big pieces of chicken patties but the bread was small and thin so half the chicken was sticking out. The chicken was a little burnt at the end so not sure if it was supposed to be that way or they had a bad day. The negative is the fries and o boy did these fries suck. Probably one of the worst fries in the city and the crazy part is that you can order these with any sandwich fillings for $20 dollars!!! They was limp, oily and lack of any salt. You can't dip these in ketchup or any sauce because they are so limp and small. I've had better beef tallow fries in other places so there's no excuses. In summary, do not order the fries alone or get the combo. Just get the sandwich and maybe a drink if you want, it will save you a few bucks. Will I come back, yes to the sandwiches and hell no for the fries unless they made a drastic improvement and offer me for free to try

We came here at around 5:45pm for their soft opening and we got the meatball sub and the Italian deli sub. We did want to try the chicks chicken parm and the fries but so much of their inventory had been sold out at that point. If anyone does get them please tell me how they are. The sandwiches on sight looked beautiful; however when peeling the aluminum foil off it's really hard not to get food on your hands - the meatballs are moist and saucy so it makes it pretty messy, but overall each bite out of the toasted bread was very good! I actually liked the Italian deli sub a lot but the majority of my group loved the meatball sub. I would definitely come back here to try out the earlier sold out items along with some extra napkins.

This new addition to the Astoria area was wonderful. The staff were welcoming and friendly. I ordered the grilled chicken with garlicky broccoli rabe and provolone cheese. They make their own semolina bread that was fresh. Phenomenal taste!!! I will definitely try the other menus options. Massi please expand your menu. Kudos to you. You're off to a great start!!!

Such a great find in Astoria! I came in from the city for the soft opening and it was super easy, Conveniently right off the train on broadway.The spot already had a steady crowd when I walked in, which is always a good sign. I got the chicken parm sandwich and it was honestly one of the best I've had. Super fresh, the bread is baked in-house (you can even see them making it) The fries are amazing, crispy and full of flavor and the Philly cheese fries were 10/10. You can tell this place puts thought into the ingredients. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in the neighborhood.

I was confused about this place because during their soft opening they were only open once a week and there was a line down the block. Finally they opened with a little more flexible hours. 1-9pm. I wish they could be open at noon though. Sandwich was incredible! Fresh semolina makes a big difference

Quite literally an amazing sandwich, I almost got a second one to go just in case. The chicken & broccoli rabe is full of flavor but wasn't super heavy and the fries are to die for. The staff was friendly and attentive and I would 100% go back

Had high hopes for this new local sandwich spot. Very nice and clean on the inside, however, i dont recall the last time i had sandwiches that were so over the top greasy and mushy like the sandwiches here. It was literally like eating a cup of oil. Had to throw it out. Factor in the prices they charge for this is insane. I definitely wont be returning, there are much better options.

I went to Massi's during their soft opening, while the sandwhiches are good they are like pretty tiny. For $15 a sandwhich at other italian deli's in the area you would get a much larger sandwhich with the same quality. You can also say the same for the dirty fries $20/22, when I went it was sooo packed and I did not see a single person order the dirty fries as I feel it is just way too overpriced.

Lucky enough to be in Astoria this past Saturday and even luckier to grab a sandwich and fries at Massi's! Great vibe and food! The whole staff was friendly. Ordered 2 sandwiches with fries and enjoyed every bite! They don't use any seed oils and bake fresh bread, amazing!! Can't wait to return!

Just had one of the best sandwiches, and I know sandwiches, and Massi's is the real deal. If you're ever in queens, you must make a stop.

The food was amazing and came out quickly. The employees were also very nice with good energy, definitely recommended.

Great service and excellent Chicken Parm and Philly cheesesteak sandwiches , not to mention the sourdough bread and cooked in beef tallow!!!

I had the Cubano sandwich and it was amazing! I love how they don't use any seed oils! Their fries are unreal as well and staff was very friendly!

Went to the soft opening in Astoria on Friday. While it's always fun to try new places, the hero's, although tasty were much smaller than they look on Instagram. The price for 4 sandwiches was near $70.00. I consider that pretty steep given the quantity. Sal Kris and Charlie will always be my sandwich king as they are delicious and you get your moneys worth!!

Was able to try this new spot and I loved it. The service was fast and easy and I loved the chicken parm sandwich! I'll definitely be back :)
