Cappone’s Salumeria

Nice little place with cool employees! There are a lot of sandwich options, making it difficult for me to choose. My sandwich was pretty good, but I didn’t realize my choice of bread would make it more expensive. Altogether, I felt I paid way more than what my meal was worth. The sandwich was pretty regular, so I wasn’t really impressed especially since I’d just forked over $ 12+ for a supposedly $ 9 sandwich. Ask for the bread prices, I guess?

cappone’s is serving up quite the italian sandwiches. I opted for the salvatore on fresh semolina and couldn’t be happier with my choice. i will definitely be back to sample other items on the menu… what a treat!

The Salvatore is an Excellent sandwich and huge so I don’t mind paying the 12 $ for it. They also usually have specials some days like chicken parm or meatball parm or eggplant but it’s so random and not usually there at noon so I always miss it. It’d be nice if they would post their specials somewhere or do a weekly rotation so you know what days to expect the chicken parm or something.

Yum yum. This pavorrotti is so good with ciovatta. If your in chelsea market make sure to stop by cappones slummeria. Its so cool
How sandwiches are name after intalian celebrities. Definitely be stopping by again to try the pacinos.

Fantastic sandwich here the other day; I had The Salvatore (roast chicken breast, provolone, sweet roasted reds, and arugula $ 11) I upgraded the bread to fresh baked semolina which proved to be a worthy investment as well, nice and crunchy, a perfect vessel for my sandwich. Capped it off with an Italian soda, and ate right at the counter. A+, will return.

Was recommended to Cappone’s from a business associate, and we’re happy we were. Placed a sizable order for a business luncheon at the office. First, the service over the phone was extremely helpful with accommodating with the time we needed the order by.
Then walking me through the menu with suggestions that had everyone at the luncheon questioning where we order from. The food was made fresh, taste great, and was enough with plenty for left overs. Price was higher then your typical Italian «Deli», but by the looks, feel and taste of food, they are far from your «typical» Italian deli. They’re gourmet !
Highly Recommend !

1 Bottle of water + 1 sandwich = $ 19.85.
I’ve been to a lot of Italian sandwich shops. A first for me was paying $ 1.50 upcharge (on an already overpriced $ 14.00 sandwich) for the type of roll I chose. Mind you, this was not some fancy roll with special toppings — just your typical piece of bread.
Balsamic vinegar must be a highly priced commodity these days:
Me: excuse me, can I trouble you for some extra balsamic on the side
Clerk: It’s already on the sandwich
Me: Ok, thanks. Can I have some extra on the side?
Clerk: Oh, you want extra? It’s already on the sandwich
Me: Ok, thanks. Can I have some extra on the side?
Last: when the hands-​on clerk (maybe manager?) has a gash on his finger from what appears to be the slicer, I’d recommend using a bandage to cover the exposed wound. Air it out during off-​work hours.

Ok, the sandwich was alright, but how the hell is this place rated so highly? Have you guys ever been to an Italian deli before?
Set up in Gansevoort Market, this is a prototypical Italian deli. Sandwich combos are fairly typical with some interesting combos included. Prices are high but given the location in a touristy food hall, this is to be expected. Still, my sandwich on a small hero roll (~6″) came to close to $ 15 which to me is pretty steep. Countermen work slowly because they take out the ingredients one by one, as others have mentioned; I’ve been to delis where they can turn out sandwiches at least twice as fast as these guys. Seating can be a challenge at this market but we made due.
I got the Salvatore with roasted chicken breast, provolone, roasted peppers and arugala. It was fine but not as good as it shoudl’ve been, especially at this price. The provolone was a basic cold cut, not a sharp provolone like I thought it would be; I probably wouldn’t have order it if I knew this. The chicken was alright but I was expecting something sliced thicker and hot rather than them turning it into a cold cut. The roasted peppers were good for what little there was of them. The bread, which they pride themselves on baking every morning, wasn’t anything special. As a whole, this was an alright sandwich; again, it was not bad. It just was overpriced, skimpy and not worth the trouble.
I wasn’t even full after eating this. Put more stuff on your sandwiches, guys.

This review is for an experience with delivery only — unfortunately, not just a miscommunication with Seamless couriers, but instead with the Cappone’s staff and delivery service.
Today, I placed an order for one sandwich (no additions or substitutions) through Seamless, and was provided an estimated delivery time of 30 minutes. Great!
After an hour had gone by, I called Cappone’s. I was greeted by a woman on the other end of the phone who proceeded to scold me, saying they’d «just been there, trying to buzz in and calling over and over again». I informed her that I had not received one call, nor any ‘buzzes in’, and she told me that my phone «MUST be on silent or something, because I MEAN…». I said ma’am — my phone is not on silent, I have been waiting patiently for my order this entire time. She then read my phone number back to me, which they had gotten incorrect. I double-​checked that my phone number was entered correctly into Seamless (it was) — so they had somehow written it down wrong (I didn’t mention this over the phone). I calmly told her the correct phone number — and she slammed down the receiver.
The food came half an hour later — 100 minutes after I ordered it. I was scolded and spoken down to by both the woman on the phone and the delivery guy, because they failed to write down my phone number correctly. Apparently this is my fault. I think it goes without saying, but no apology was ever offered at any point — for the rudeness, or for the delay in the order.

Meh. Ordered the Napoli after taking the recommendation of the man behind the counter.
Bread was cold, mozzarella didn’t taste fresh. Incredibly over-​priced for the quality and size of sandwich. For $ 15, at least throw in a bag of chips or a drink!
Over-​priced, underwhelming. Pass.

Ever since the opening of this place I have been here numerous times and enjoy it. Taste of Brooklyn oozes out into the city. Priced right lunch the heroes of freshly sliced meat and the combination of tastes designed on each sandwich are perfect. Great place great food excellent service winner in my book.

Pricey but good sandwiches at the Gansevoort Market. Ordered two sandwiches and neither were right, but ate them anyway. Next time, we’ll try something else at the market. Not bad, but there is probably something better.

Officially obsessed with the sardine sandwich here! It’s so bloody delicious. It’s single handedly the reason I can’t cut out carbs. I’m sure everything else is great. I don’t doubt it but I simply can’t order anything else so long as the sardines are on offer. So good!

Delicious italian meat and cheese, and the bread was tender and full of taste. Ingredients were really fresh.

Ordered
pickup of Deniro (Soppressata, smoked mozzarella, artichokes, arugula) on Whole Wheat for $ 12.00+tax and arrived to no sandwich being ready and the news that they had no smoked mozzarella. Was given the option to ‘come back later’ after it was delivered at ‘not sure when’, and was told twice that they ‘tried calling’ (from a strange number with no voicemail left). Sandwich was really mediocre, so the smoked mozz would’ve helped slightly.

I walked up to the counter and I asked what sandwich I should get. One Napali sandwich later, I’m in heaven. Great service, great sandwich, beautiful place to sit and enjoy the Chelsea meatpacking district. Highly recommend.

First impressions are everything.
Unfortunately, it will be a while until I will be back. Went here on my way over to the highlife to grab lunch. I made the mistake of ordering the daily special which was a roast beef sandwich. The roast beef had nearly zero flavor and the little taste I could detect was not pleasant. I heard my mother yelling at me in my head «never order the special, that’s the food they want to get rid of» as I begrudgedly ate my sandwich… alright alright mom.
Normally this would be the death nail to any restaurant but this place scores major points in other areas. The cashier as all the guys working there were super nice, and they accepted my credit card without a problem. If I had to do it again I think would go with the chicken cutlet they ha on display that was topped with bacon. Never reject bacon.
All the sandwiches are made with care, although this really slowed down the hole process. They wrote your order on a paper bag and hand it to the guys making the sandwiches who definitely take there time making the sandwiches. All the cold cuts are in a refrigerator rhomd them and they would take out one meat, place it in your sandwich, put it back in the fridge, take the next one, put it on your sandwich… you get the idea… It wasn’t exactly efficient. It seemed like they were new so this will probably improve. It appeared as though all the tomatoe sauce and pesto were all home made. Although you should expect to pay $ 10+ for all the sandwiches This place takes time to include quality ingredients, so I am open to giving it another shot.

I had one of the greatest sandwiches of my life at Cappone’s.
The «Travolta». Porchetta, smoked mozzarella, and arugula.
There isn’t anything I could write to do this sandwich justice.
So I will just stick with, «wow».

Great place for a great sandwich. The bread was so fresh. Was a joy to have my lunch there after a long day at the office. The staff there was very friendly and a delight. The sparkling water was a nice touch as well. A+ from me!

I went with a Nina and subbed the tomatoes for hot peppers. It had at least a ¼lb of prosciutto and nice thick slices of smoked mozzarella. I didn’t really get any smoked flavor from mozzarella but it was good nonetheless. I got the rustico bread which was nice and fresh and crusty. At $ 14.50 it’s definitely a splurge for a sandwich though it’s big enough to split.
