Milano Market

A friend kept urging me to check out the Milano Market on the corner of East 89th and Third Avenue and this morning, I walked in and LOVED the store. The first thing I saw was a fabulous selection of Italian olive oils, filtered and unfiltered and I was hooked. Their pastas looked fabulous but the line for their heroes and sandwiches on an early Sunday morning was truly impressive!

My husband and I visited just before Easter Sunday so it was quite busy, but there were plenty of staff and service was quick and efficient. We bought the prosciutto and the mozzarella and cherry tomato salad, both of which were very tasty and enjoyable. I was also impressed by how the prosciutto was sliced ​​so skillfully and beautifully.

We went on a Sunday afternoon around lunch and the place was packed! We waited about 15 minutes in line before we could order but it was worth it! There are so many options it’s kind of overwhelming and couldn’t pick what we wanted. Heard a lot of people ordering the chicken Caesar salad wrap - it was delish! The other sandwich I forgot the name but the touch of avocado and the sauce in it also so delish!

We tried the Amore and the Meatball Parm sub and they were fantastic. Very large and filling portions. First time going in, the line seems a bit intimidating but it goes quickly and the staff was quite friendly to us. I don’t think the cookies were anything special after trying a few but the other food was fantastic.

Always a go to for me in NYC!! The anticipation of the epic sandwiches 🥪 is exciting can u tell I love food lol this time I got thr Padrino (chx cutlet fresh mozzarella roasted red peppers) i added pesto and a side of herb mayo sans balsamic vin. Ate half as usual bc it so big and delish! My man's ordered The Goat! (Grilled chx, goat cheese, arugula, tomato) he said the sandwich would've been better with roasted reds 😋 I said that's why u have to speak up when ordering otherwise get what u get lol ALWAYS TIP YOUR SANDWICH MAKER DIRECTLY

old school type of joint. family run. authentic atmosphere. welcoming staff. the chicken caesar wrap is a right of passage - absolutely the best i've ever had. also, i split a cold cut sandwich - i was grateful for the meat to bread ratio. lastly, the merch is really cool - would definitely add that milano market sweat shirt into my rotation. will be back ten times over.

Probably the best place to get a meatball parm in the world. Very fun atmosphere and very busy. We got some sandwiches to go and ate them in Central Park. We’ll be doing the same thing next time we’re in New York. Friendly and efficient staff. Come prepared with what you want to order

the prosciutto burrata arugula and balsamic sandwich that i tried changed things in my brain. I crave it everyday day, i think about it all the time. Life is beautiful with that sandwich in my hands. Update: I just ordered one cause i couldn’t stop thinking about it. Look at that!!

caesar salad wraps this one's my favorite caesar salad wraps out of all the ones i've had ugh why does it have to be in NYC it's a big portion but everything about it is so perfect. there's a great amount of sauce, its enough to give a lot of flavor without being too much and making the lettuce soggy. the crunch from the croutons is so satisfying, and the wrap isn't too soft or too crispy either. it's just so good milano market also has so many food options though. it kind of reminded me of erewhons hot bar, even though it's not like thattt similar. just the fact that there's tons of random food you can take home, and it all looks like it was made pretty fresh. this review is just for the caesar wrap tbh idk about the other stuff but this wrap was a 5/5

Had to come for the Chicken Caesar Salad Wrap but ended up leaving more satisfied with the Amore sandwich! While the wrap was a generous portion, I found the wrap not tightly wrapped and the salad overdressed without much seasoning. If I had the option, the wrap would've been elevated with some Tabasco or hot sauce on the side. The Amore was perfect for a sunny day - the generous portion of salty prosciutto was paired deliciously with the fresh creamy burrata. The ciabatta was also delicious and chewy. I think we waited 20-30 mins but staying inside the cool market was nice and didn't feel too long!

Ok I've been here before and got a sandwich. It looked incredible but was somehow lacking flavor. So then I was like I MUST try the Caesar wrap because that's apparently the iconic item. I've been hyping this up for SO long. It looked gorg. I was so excited. I'm so sad to share there is also literally no flavor??? The dressing has no garlic, anchovy, mustard or LEMON. I'm sorry but everyone hyping this up, have you ever had a flavorful Caesar my quest for the best wrap will continue. This ain't it.

I think this is one of the better chicken Caesar wraps I've had because I thought the dressing nicely coated everything and had nice flavor to it. But now that I've had it, I wouldn't say I'd go out of my way for this!

Holy the sandwiches here are HUGE and so good for the price. Highly recommend sharing with someone. The market was in a cute corner on 3rd ave and the space is pretty small so the line goes around the shelves in the store. Lots of fresh made sides and sandwiches made to order. We waited about 20 minutes in line and 10 minutes for the food. The service is great and feels like a local favorite! Also central park is nearby so a perfect to go lunch or snack.

Came here after hearing the hype of the chicken ceasar salad wrap and it was good!! A plentiful amount of chicken and the Caesar dressing was really nice! It wasn't my favorite chicken Caesar salad wrap I've ever had but it was definitely in the top five! Would come back here again Heads up, the lion can get along luckily we went at a time when it wasn't too busy, but have heard stories of long. Wait times! It's a counter service deli style.

If I were to give Milano a review for their market it would definitely be a 5, they have the best stock of prosciutto di Parma, and San Daniele. And the cheese selection is also great. However when it comes to sandwiches, I don't know what the hype is about. I ordered the eggplant parm on a hero today, however it was just so bland. The bread (hero) I must say was delicious! However the rest was just so bland. Small cuts of eggplant which wasn't even hot and the mozzarella wasn't even melted either. It lacked flavor and satisfaction. I really can't recommend and understand the hype. And on top of it all it was $15 including tax and tip and they charge a 3% if paying with credit card!

Walked in on a Sunday afternoon around 1pm. The line was long but moved quicker than expected. I ordered the amore sandwich and grilled artichoke hearts. Both were delicious. The sandwich was simple but filled with burrata cheese and salami. Each bite was flavorful. The staff was friendly and made it easy to order. I usually order delivery from here so it was a little chaotic in person, but I recommend. It is a small space with gourmet Italian grocery items that I hope to try soon.

So freaking good holy crap. Sandwiches are pricey but absolutely packed with meat, I ended up with two meals out of each sandwich, more than worth it for me. And the soups!!! So yummy to go with my sandwiches. I actually would eat lunch here every day if I could. Just make sure you grab a paper menu or look online while in line so you can order quickly! Highly recommend for some tasty Italian deli classics. (And everything in the market always tempts me, I usually give in and get a blood orange Italian s

Great atmosphere with long line, fresh foods, and unique ordering style at the counter. Was expecting more flavor from the Sinatra but the chicken cutlets overpowered prosciutto and other flavors. Still good sandwich but was expecting more from the food.

My friends found this place when it was trending on TikTok and since we were in the area we wanted to give it a try. Of course there was a long line and wait time to finally get to the front was about 30-40 mins. I ordered the Amore and the Cesar Salad Wrap. The Amore sandwich was good but as I kept eating it I got thirsty since there was a generous amount of prosciutto. I enjoyed the Cesar salad wrap more- it was refreshing and the salad dressing was yummy, could use more chicken though. Inside is a cool market stocked with a ton of hanging meet, snacks, beverages, pastas, and cheeses. The location is also perfect because it's near Central Park so this place is good if you want to grab food near the park.

First off based on a market itself to buy goods such as pasta and sauce and cheese, we come here very frequently for those fresh and specialty goods and love it for that! Cheaper if you pay in cash! As far as a sandwich and deli place, I honestly feel like it's overhyped. The sandwiches are fine, the famous chicken Cesar wrap is just ehhhh. It's extremely expensive for what you get for just being mediocre. The meats themselves are good though. I would 100% give it a try if you have never been before but everyday when I walk by I am blown away by how long the line is as I truly don't find it worth it in that regard. Like I said the market itself is awesome though!

Milano market is as cute as it is delicious. The meats hanging from the ceiling are just as abundant as the meat they pile in your sandwich. One of my favorite vodka parm sandwiches and Caesar wraps. Get extra sauce on the vodka parm if you can. Lines can get long and move slow.

This is a very authentic old school Italian market in the upper east side. There are always a lot of people in and out of here and the staff does a great job at keeping things moving. I ordered the Chicken Caesar wrap and added Bacon to it which was a great touch. The croutons in the wrap were a great touch for texture and added flavor.

Twice I ordered a sandwich there, and twice it was wrong. Very disappointing. I ordered online, so there should be no mistaking it. You can't say you misunderstood me because it is all there right in front of you, in plain English. And very expensive.

Splendid decor and full of authentic Italian food, this deli is easily a good neighborhood spot for taking out deli sandwiches and salads for picnic purposes. They have a ton of different Panini options, wraps, and homemade salads that taste good, but can sometimes be a bit average. For example, the meatball sandwich was a bit dry, even though it came with a ton of bread. There are also really good imported foods from Italy here, including crostini, olives, and tuna in a jar that can only be found in truly authentic Italian places.

Ordered a vodka chicken parm sandwich and it was the size of a small baby. Overall an amazing sandwich, but I wish it had a tiny bit more sauce. Absolutely amazing value tho!

Naturally I had to try the chicken Caesar wrap...it was pretty good. I don't know if it lived up to the hype though....Definitely a lot of options and would love to go back and get some chicken cutlets

OOOOF im gonna be daydreaming about the Caesar wrap forever my friend came to town so before spending a day at the MET we went to Milano Market for a quick bite. We split the Caesar wrap and chicken parm wrap - both SOSOSO delicious. the Caesar wrap had fresh ingredients with in house croutons and freshly made dressing / every bite had the most satisfying crunch to it the chicken parm sub came warm and saucy - a very heavy yet cheesy yet juicy sub. I wish it was spicier but it was very good - i added red pepper flakes and Tabasco. the line is long but service was quick. id be nice if they one day have seating in our outside but we went to a nearby park no problem. 10/10 recommend and would come back in a heart beat. nothing beats a solid sub at a solid deli!

We went to Milano market to try their viral chicken Caesar wrap and it did not disappoint. It was large enough for my husband and I to split. It had the perfect dressing to salad ratio. The croutons gave it a nice little crunch as well. They have a ton of prepared foods to choose from and a lot of specialty items. There were only about three people in line ahead of us and our wrap was made in less than five minutes, can't wait to go back and try another deli sandwich.

I am an avid yelp reviewer I say it how it is and don't sugar coat so here we go-- I was very excited to try this place as the Instagram pics look amazing and the reviews were great. I waited 25 minutes on a line to get the Sandwich which is fine, I don't mind waiting if it's quality food which I was expecting. I got the amore and my boyfriend for the chicken parm and when we finally sat down to eat it im Central Park it was very disappointing. The bread was so hard I could barely even chew down on it. My boyfriends chicken was like rubber and inedible. For the people leaving these fantastic reviews they need to revoke their access to yelp or enhance your palette. I do have to say the ambiance was nice but the food less than medicoren

A very cozy Italian market! famous for its chicken ceasar wrap and sandwiches! I tried the milano supreme and they were really generous with the deli meat! super kind staff too. got a beautiful fat sandwich that hit the spot on a gorgeous day. perfect to take to the park and eat while people watching. went at 2pm on a tuesday and still had to wait in line for 15min. also tried their black and white cookie which was average. ended up being $20, note they charge a 3% credit card fee.

This review is just for takeout- I haven't been to the actual market myself. I got a Cesar wrap and my husband got a chicken parm sandwich. We loved both and definitely want to go back. We did pickup on Uber eats and it was ready super quickly! We loved it.

Loved it. Highlights were the chicken Caesar wrap and the black and white cookie. I also got the chicken pasta soup and it was really nice. I love this place

Food (4/5) - Got the Prime because I really wanted foccacia that day and really liked it - foccacia not too greasy, horseradish mayo added a bit of a kick to it and was great for a picnic. Wish it had a bit more sauce between the roast beef, meat got a little dry at times but it's really packed in. Solid sandwich, maybe was just mine but wish the "wet" ratio was a little higher on my sandwich. Also got a little tub of sweet sopressata, that did not disappoint - ate it right out of the box! Price (4/5) - 13-18 for sandwiches, didn't peruse the rest of the market that much but little tub of sorpressata was ~8. Pretty fair for the area, sandwiches were definitely large and in charge and worth the price. Think people come here more for the chicken caesar wrap so maybe that is a better bang for buck Ambiance (4/5) - it's busy but people are nice and fairly orderly. Place is small and there's nowhere to sit, line wrapped around the entire store, took us ~15-20min to get our food and order in, probably

Best chicken Caesar wrap I've had. The croutons are def made in house and so crunchy. The Quattro is also 10/10. Everything's a little pricey but worth it. The staff is sometimes a lil rude though. I felt like I was inconveniencing someone to ask if I could order. Will def still go back!

I was excited to check out Milano Market, as I had heard about their famous Chicken Caesar Wrap. We came here closer to lunch time, and when you walk in, it looks like your typical family-owned Italian grocery store with a deli and meat counter in the back. You order from one of the staff members, and they efficiently make one for you. We tried the W3 - Chicken Caesar - the flour tortilla was stuffed to the max with grilled chicken, croutons, lettuce, Romano cheese, and Caesar dressing - this was actually really tasty! You'd think what could be so special about a salad wrap, but the flavors were so savory and yummy. I probably would ask for extra croutons and extra dressing. The wrap could have been wrapped a bit tighter. This wrap could easily be shared between two people or divided into two meals. There isn't a number machine or anything, so it's basically, first-come, first-serve. Once you receive your order, you just go up to the cashier towards the front to pay. There were some staff members who were a little snarky - they noted us taking photos and stated that was not allowed; so, where's the signage for that? +W3 Chicken Caesar wrap +hit-or-miss service

Cute market with great fresh options! Extremely crowded and hard to find seats but if you don't want to share a table there is a park across the street! We ended up grabbing some food and wine at the restaurant in the corner and then dessert from the next shop, everything was amazing!

I already want to come back for more of their food. The surroundings contrast with the experience inside. Their staff performed flawlessly. Their servings won't leave anyone hungry. Our family looks forward to coming back.

Absolutely worth the hype. The chicken caesar wrap is phenomenal. I feel like it's hard to do these kind of wrap well because it is hard to balance the amount of lettuce, sauce and chicken but they absolutely killed it. Perfect proportions and they also include some super crispy and delicious croutons! Would 100% get this again. I went for lunch on a Thursday and the line was still decently long, but it went quick!! Perfect place to grab some sandwiches before heading to the park.

I waited about 35 minutes for the infamous chicken Caesar wrap. The line started outside but I didn't realize it went around inside. To be honest I thought the wrap was going to be overrated, but I thought it was really good! There was a good amount/ratio of croutons and chicken. I also got a black/white cookie, which was also really good. I thought it would be a crispy/crunchy cookie but it ended up being a shortbread kind of cookie with frosting.

My visit here reminded me why eating out can be special. These servers match the food quality with their excellence. Workers showed kind attention. I appreciate meals where simplicity is the point. I can't wait to sample all their specialties.

5/5 Amore sandwich. A long ish wait (30+ min) but so worth it. Great flavor and portion! It's also nice to shop while in line.

Sandwiches are kinda expensive, not a frequent order but a nice once in a while splurge. Great quality food even when delivered to the hospital. Plenty of options, there's something for everyone -- cold cuts, hot sandwiches, anything you can think of!

I ordered the #27 Amore (prosciutto, burrata, arugula with balsamic glaze on ciabatta) for pick up. I timed my ordered because the estimated time was long, however it was actually ready in 1/2 the time, so the sandwich was just sitting there as I couldn't get there early. It was easy to pick up at the cash register when I walked in. The store was not busy when I went on a weekday afternoon. Overall the sandwich was underwhelming. Not only was the bread soggy from the sauce, but a section of the bread was completely soaked from water. The balsamic glaze was not evenly distributed, some sections it was too strong and in other sections there was none. The only redeeming quality of this sandwich was that there was a generous portion of prosciutto and burrata, however it was still not worth the price.

Food never tastes fresh....rude service...over rated. Twice is enough for me. And I am not imagining this because I met an employee out one night who told me they leave the hot food out overnight!

Expect to wait in line 30 minutes if you come at a peak time- the line will wrap around in the store if it's not already out the door. There's a great selection of Italian specialty foods to peruse while waiting in line. The prepared foods all look delicious. The chicken parm sandwich was good if you like that, but the show stopper is the amore sandwich. It is packed with soft prosciutto and creamy burrata and the perfect balsamic glaze. All food is to go- there is no seating space or tables out side. The sandwich menu is rather extensive so I'd recommend looking on their instagram to get a better sense of the sandwiches if just looking at ingredient isn't helpful to you.

Hard pass. Very average sandwich. Stale bread. Pricey especially for the size of the sandwich. I got a chicken sandwich with extremely dry chicken where the only flavor was char, not even salt. My friend tried their classic sandwich with ciabatta and was equally unimpressed. Both sandwiches had stale bread and not particularly balanced flavor wise. Service is also dismissive

Finally got to try this chicken Cesar salad wrap! When you walk in there's usually a long line. You order at the deli area then pay at the register. They take card and cash. It's a small little market and be prepared to wait at least 15 mins if the line wraps around the store. The wrap comes with lettuce, dressing, croutons, and chicken, and cheese. The lettuce had a nice crunch, well dressed too. The chicken was one drier side, wish a little more croutons. Over all pretty good! Easy to eat and very filling. It's about $15 which is avg I suppose? There's no seating outside or around the area. There's a park a few blocks away. Wish there was a bench or some tables outside the store. You also can get it delivered, there's usually a whole bunch of people waiting for delivery/pickup. If I was in the area, I'd come back again!

Sandwiches are yummy to say the least. HUGE portions for roughly $20 so you can definitely split. The line from 12-4pm is usually super long... so if you can try to head in before or after that window

I have been here twice for the chicken Caesar wrap that I've heard others rave about. I wasn't super enthused after the first time, so I returned. After waiting on line again for 40+ minutes (silly I know), I came to the same conclusion that the wrap is just solid. Nothing particularly good or bad about it but certainly not worth the wait on an afternoon. (

ahh if you've been on social media, you've def heard about the competition between milano market and lenwich! i personally like lenwich's ceasar wrap better but honestly it's hard to compare because. both are yummy!

I'm giving 5 stars for the food, the staff, and the quality of the products. I've been coming here for 10 years since I moved to the UES, and the place has changed a lot in the past couple of years. It's gone viral and now attracts a younger crowd. The lines can be crazy at certain times, and the small size of the place makes it worse. Because of this, I'm downgrading it to 3 stars, but I still recommend coming here for the sandwiches, Italian products, and the great staff. It's a place that's genuinely good, not just viral. Many places are only popular due to social media, but this one actually lives up to the hype -- though you'll need a lot of patience.

Visited my best friend who said we NEED to try this place because it was all over tik tok. We came here two times on a Saturday to try their food and were successful the second time. The first time we went (around 2:00pm)the line was out the door and circling the building--we waited about 30 minutes with virtually no movement in the line and decided we needed to get going to make it to a broadway show. Also-some dumb dumb customer who already got his order yelled "they are all out of chicken caesar salad wraps"...we called them and they weren't. The second time (after the broadway show), we came (around 5:30pm) and there was a line but it was inside the store. We must have stood there for at least 30-45 minutes before they took our order. There wasn't a super organized way to take orders, we got skipped over the first time and the person behind us ordered and got their order before we did. It's a bit pricey; I ended up paying about $30 for the Chicken Caesar Salad Wrap, a bag of chips, and a water...but i guess this is New York, right? They don't really have any tables or seating space inside or outside, so we ended up eating on a ledge near an apartment complex around the corner. I would like to go back and try a sandwich or some of their deli items in the glass case. It seems like the Milano's Special is pretty popular. Maybe call ahead for the order and have a place nearby to eat.

There's always an issue with this place. We've ordered a total of three times, two of those times our orders were never received within an hour. We had to call customer service through Uber Eats and GrubHub and for some reason the company just told us the same thing that our order is on the way so we kept contacting Milano market for them to say they have no idea where our order is and that they're closed. So we just made her decision to never deal with this business again.

They made fun of one of my staff members who went there for lunch. Seemed a bit racist and un-professional. Sandwich was cold and not toasted. Don't recommend. His name is Agust and was there around 11:20 and made fun of his name.

I was really excited to try the sandwiches here and ordered for pickup via Uber Eats. I am really glad I ordered for pickup because once you walk into the store it is confusing where you would order. The staff was not welcoming and I felt like I was bothering them by asking for my order. The cashier did not smile at all and gave me a questionable look when I asked for my order, not sure if she thought I was pretending to pick it up?? Maybe I just came at a bad time. There was one person in front of me ordering but it literally took like 20min cuz he was chatting with the cashier while me and the person behind me just waited... I saw other people wandering around and confused where to order as well. The store itself is small and crowded but that is average NY shops for you. When I went during the weekday there weren't many people but it looked like the staff was super busy making the pickup orders.... If you decide to come here, order ahead of time for pickup, and be prepared to still wait in the cashier line to get your order... I got the milano special basically an Italian sandwich for around $17...the bread was kind of hard.The sandwich itself didn't taste special or anything. I think you can get an Italian sandwich for way cheaper at other places. You can def split a sandwich with 2 ppl but if 1 person is super hungry then maybe not. I am not sure if I would come back or maybe I just got the wrong sandwich...

This place has been an upper east side staple for as long as I can remember. You can find imported pastas and products here. The line is often wrapped around the store most days of the week. But my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE item on the menu is the CHAR - GRILLED SHRIMP COATED WITH A ROASTED PEPPER CHUTNEY! Best grilled shrimp I've had from a prepared foods section. It's well balanced, shrimp is perfectly grilled and the roasted pepper chutney has a delicious tangy yet slightly sweet texture. It's got the perfect kick and amount of seasoning. If you're hosting a party or doing a tailgate, this place has all your needs. Reasonably priced for Manhattan

This place was honestly a bit overhyped in my opinion... I saw a ton about it on Instagram and was excited to try. The line was out the door and around the corner when I went. I would definitely recommend ordering online. The actual market was super nice and would have loved to shop around a bit if it wasn't so busy. We ordered the chicken Caesar wrap and the crispy breaded chicken cutlet wrap. I've definitely had better Caesar wraps but I did love the breaded chicken wrap. It was crispy with an extra kick from the sauce. If I went again I would probably try getting a classic sandwich.
