Get the with pesto and fresh mozzarella. People call it the best cutlet in the city, and the bread gets as much praise as the filling. The is the other classic. It's over $20 and big enough for two meals. Skip the , regulars call it the weak spot, and the often comes light on sauce.

  • Had my first one on vacation in NYC a couple of weeks ago and it was exceptional. It’s not cheap but still great value for money, it’s absolutely stacked and tastes amazing.

    Agreed. They are meticulous in slicing and wrapping, have a great selection of brands (including imported) and unlike some places (*coughLaBella cough*)they clean the slicer after every use.

  • replying to u/PuddingAdorable9260: Insane take on Faiccos

    I had one of the best sandwiches in my life at faicco’s The cutlet was thin freshly fried and it wasn’t even any crazy ingredients. It was just lettuce roasted peppers, mozzarella oil, and vinegar. The bread was on point and it was phenomenal.

  • Hot take but I didn't enjoy my Faicco's sandwich. I got the italian sandwich. The bread was so thick. The meat and cheese were cold. and it was over $20!!! It is a huge sandwich but for the price it was a 5/10 at best

  • replying to u/Dirschel: Faicco’s Italian sandwich was absolutely incredible. I kept on seeing it posted about in this sub and it 100% lived up to the hype.

    The pesto chicken cutlet knocked my socks off! The bread is really good and the cutlets are crispy. I was disappointed with the vodka chicken parm sandwich though, there was minimal sauce and the cutlets weren't shining as much. I would definitely recommend the pesto chicken for sure!

  • replying to u/meatandcookies: Third the rec for All’Antico Vinaiao. Every sandwich I’ve had from them has been perfect, and they’re HUGE. Another rec for Faicco’s, they’ve been there forever. The melts at Murray’s Cheese on Bleecker are fantastic. And then there’s the pastrami at Katz׳s.

    Check out the stromboli at Faicco's. If you are staying at a place with a kitchen, take it home, slice it and cook it in a pan like a grilled cheese. The cheese melts and crisps with the meats and veg into something spectacular.

  • Faicco's was good, but lacked flavor. I had lobbied for Momma's Too, but my wife had seen some InstaReel that convinced her. Probably wouldn't go there again.

  • Faiccos Italian sandwich is a work of art. Love their chicken pesto and chicken parm sandwiches as well

  • Faicco's in West Village (the bread was so good! I got the chicken pesto and chicken vodka parm, the vodka parm was lacking sauce imo, but the chicken pesto was one of the best I've had)
