Nico's Sandwich Deli

We ordered the pastrami and the chicken schnitzel. Overall, both were pretty good! The schnitzel was definitely the standout super fresh and full of flavour. The pastrami was also good, with a nice sauce that had a bit of a kick to it, though it would’ve been even better if the slices were cut a bit more. It can get quite busy during the lunch rush.

Best sandwich I’ve had in Australia. I got the kimchi cheese sandwich. The bread is high quality, but the cherry on top is how crispy the bread was from frying it, and the little bit of salt on the crust. I do a lot of kimchi toasties at home and can never get them this crispy

The filling of the salad sandwich was delish! But the bread was unfortunately a little stale. I wanted to love it more overall as it really was delicious but there was room for improvement with the freshness of the bread.

I had the kimchi melt. The experience was fun and the mood was energetic. Love a little hole-in-the-wall restaurant and it felt a bit like I was in New York. It was super busy with lots of people ordering and waiting, but our food came out in good time and was hot, fresh and crispy. We were able to sit down and eat and the whole vibe was vibing. Thanks for your work!

I visited Nico’s Fitzroy and tried the Giardiniera. The sandwich was fresh and flavorful, with nicely balanced ingredients and a good crunch from the vegetables. Personally, I found the taste pleasant but a little more subtle than expected—it could have had a stronger kick for my preference. The portion size was satisfying, and the bread was warm and well-textured, which made it enjoyable overall. The café itself has a lively and welcoming atmosphere, perfect for grabbing a quick bite or sitting down with friends. Staff were friendly and attentive, making the experience smooth and comfortable. Overall, it’s a good spot to try if you’re around Fitzroy, especially if you enjoy fresh ingredients and classic Italian-style sandwiches.

Love the vibe, the outdoor tables are great. Service is quick and sandos are superb. The chicken schnitzel one is great, and keen to try the other flavours. Prices are fair for the size (I was quite impressed with it).

Really great sandwich shop! Ordered the chicken schnitzel sandwich and it was wonderful and my friend very much enjoyed her spicy chicken sandwich. The service was great and has a nice outside area to wait and eat. Really excited to try more of the food here! Do note that sometimes the wait can be a tad long around lunch times but it’s totally worth it!

Hands down one of the best sandwhichs I have had. The chicken was fresh juicy and tender melted in your mouth! Will definitely be back next time in Melbourne. Would recommend going a bit before lunch time as can get busy
