Via Della Scrofa

One of the Best Sandwiches I've Ever Tasted!! Stumbled into Via Della Scrofa the other afternoon intending to just buy a coffee. So pleasantly surprised to find that it is so much more than a coffee/panini shop, but actually a cute and well-curated Italian market. I waited patiently to place my order, stopping myself from filling my hands with jars of imported olive oils, cookies or cured meats. Finally I placed my order - ordered the Scrofa - and watched the simple process used to make it. The man behind the counter was efficient, kind and intentional in his work. He handed me my sandwich and I took it to the car for my hour-long ride home. Two blocks away I decided to take my first bite of this crunchy, smoky, oil-dripping panino and I nearly spun the car around to go get another one! Not an exaggeration, one of the top 5 sandwiches I've ever had in my life - and I do not give that credit out lightly. I will 100% go back and try more because this spot is now officially on my forever - YOU HAVE TO GO List.

Excellent shop that has Chinotto Neri 8 and many other specialties that are hard to find. The paninis are great. I can't wait to go there again.

VIa Della Scrofa as road is a small Italian cafe serving up a menu of savory eats and coffee drinks as well as Italian grocery items. The cafe is located on a quiet street, so it’s a nice spot to grab a coffee and eats and stroll around the East Village or elsewhere. The interior is clean, well organized, and welcoming—has that local store charm as well as ton of high quality food items. no seats, grab n go only The sandwiches menu contains a number of savory bites. Last time, I tried the “Porco Deddena”—porchetta (roasted pork), sun dried tomatoes, and smoked mozzarella on a small soft chewy baked roll. The sandwich is served warm. The porchetta / pork is amazing—fatty, flavorful, and savory. The sun-dried tomatoes has that intense tart sweet flavor that cuts through the sandwich. The smoked mozzarella has that subtle scent and taste of fiery smokiness and an earthy meatiness to it. The roll is has that soft chew carb-y grain that folds the pork, sun dried tomatoes and mozzarella together. This is a small sandwich that is worth every calorie because it uses such high quality ingredients and really shows off that simple can rival complex any day of the week for a meal. Porco Deddenna, $9.99 + tax + tip Staff is chilled out and friendly.

The menu says sandwiches are $5 and the lady behind the counter either charges you $7 no matter what. That’s before tax also

TOP SPOT ! On Wednesday wife and I had a look inside here before dinner at Via Della Pace just down the street. NICE MENU ! Panini sandwiches and espresso if you are eating on the run...take-out only. They also have a handy selection of imported Italian food items. WORTH A LOOK !

The best Cappucino and homemade tiramisu to die for. Come to get your coffee and other good quality Italian stuff here, I highly recommend it. Tiramisu is delicious and exactly how it should be, perfect

This place has good stuff. Good sandwiches. Good canned goods and good quality pasta. The staff is always helpful and has welcomed opinions on ingredients and recipes.

This little store in East Village has my favorite product from Italy, Pistacchio Cream from Bronte DOP and many other italian products.

NOTE - Of course with 20 million views of my Yelp reviews and pics world wide in 2023 I can tell you what is great !

Such a hidden gem; feels like you're taking a step back in Italy! I'm so glad I found this place; it feels like an authentic Italian market, which you don't see too many of in the city. They have lots of Italian products to purchase, along with homemade sandwiches, which are delicious! I ordered the Porco Deddena, which was served with really good crunchy bread, and super fresh ingredients. I have already recommended this spot to a few people, and will definitely be coming back!

- the sandwiches aren't large but they're filling - went in and requested their "2 most popular sandwiches." walked around the block with my pupper (10 min or less) and the guy behind the counter handed me the Scrofa (Porchetta, broccoli rabe and smoked mozzarella) and Na Fetta De Culo (Parma prosciutto, Buffalo mozzarella and tomatoes) - both were good but offered different vibes - the scrofa ($10): heartier, you could actually taste that the moz was smoked and there was a bite of ...almost sour? to the broccoli rabe - the na fetta de culo ($11): I was partial to this one, enjoyed the saltiness of the prosciutto against the fresh tomatoes - both served on a crispy exterior, domed chewy roll; it's actually quite tall, was a bit hard to get it all in for a bite but nevertheless very tasty

If I could marry a sandwich it would be theirs. Amazing little deli tucked into a quaint Italian grocery. Great service and a wonderful place to wander into.

Sandwiches really remind me out Italy and the groceries are amazing. Keep going back for more and the service is great

Amazing bread and hot porchetta, very simple sandwich if you're looking for a heftier bite around EV

Authentic Italian sandwiches for the win! Love this little hole in the wall hybrid Italian grocery and sandwich store. All of the ingredients in the paninis (porchetta, prosciutto, sun dried tomatoes, mozzerela) were so fresh and flavorful. Bread was soft with a slight crunch on the outside. There is no real space to eat inside the shop so you should plan on taking out.

Delicious sandwich. Clean ingredients, and wonderful selection of authentic Italian grocery. 10/10

Pork upon pork in this Italian nook , the juicy porchetta stacked with broccoli rabe and fresh mozzarella all for $13.

One of best lobster ravioli I've ever had. They stayed open til the hours listed. Manhattan was great, minus a cherry. Such a charming nyc small restaurant.

AMAZING, AUTHENTIC PORCHETTA! So delicious and just like Frascati / Rome. Must try sandwich and super affordable too.

My favorite espresso of ever before theater. Small and worth it, perfection in a cup. Want to try more.

The porchetta sandwich is to die for. The guy there is super kind and is from Rome. Fantastic prices, and somehow has Estathe' (can't find it anywhere else). Come here for lunch it's worth it!

Amazing authentic products directly from Italy! Great prices and fresh ingredients. Highly recommend stopping by for a filling sandwich (we got the Na Fetta De Culo) or picking up some genuine Italian groceries!
