Milano Market

the best deli on the UES. The sandwiches are great!!! The pastes and meats are superb.

Such a great place! A family favorite. The food is delicious and always freshly made. They have an assortment of cheeses, pasta, olives etc. the breads are also very fresh and they have a wide variety. The taste is super friendly and always willing to help and make suggestions!

The best Italian deli on the upper east side! Looking for a great deli sandwich, then come here! Their chicken cutlets are on point. Great Italian meat selection. The fresh pasta salads are all good. And I can’t forget about the Italian cookies behind the register!

I love this place! I have lived at 95^th, 73^rd and now on 89^th — right across from Milano Market. The selection of food is better than the Whole Foods salad bar by about 100 0000x and is an UES staple! What an incredible selection of cheeses and cured meats, pasta, sauces, etc. as well.
I love the guys that work there too — they are sweet, charming, and always bring a smile to my face.

Forget about Whole Foods… This is a real deli! They know how to slice, how to wrap meat and how to smile. I was happy when Whole Foods opened because of a miscommunication here but after too many mistakes at WF and the fact that their delis are horrible, I am back… You guys rock! Their prepared food is awesome looking and as for healthy, I think I would rather come here because what they are selling at Whole Foods is not as healthy as it appears, and certainly not as BEAUTIFUL LOOKING! Yummy

I love this place! The staff is the most friendly that you will find in the city and the food is AMAZING! Some may say it is a little pricey but you cannot beat the quality of the food here.

If there’s one thing I know, it’s sandwiches and delicatessens. That said, this place does not deserve a five star rating — it should be rated higher! Fantastic sides, hot food, and of course sandwiches. Obviously being an Italian deli, the Milano Suprema and the Milano Special are both fantastic. Special shout out to the H7; roast beef, pepper jack cheese, avocado, sauteed onions, and chipotle aioli sauce. Easily one of the best sandwiches I’ve ever had

I really want to like this place, I do.
I’ve bought food from here for lunch which was okay.
I’ve gotten catering 3 times now which has disappointed every time. Most recently we got the stuffed artichoke (super $$$) and the artichokes looked not quite right, so my husband and I tried them, did not serve it. Sure enough later that night we were both pretty nauseous. They were black on the bottom which I noticed after — gross.
Caprese platter was ok but tomatoes looked old and dry, mozzarella not fresh at all. I probably could’ve just made it with regular store bought ingredients for the price it was.
Delivery person spoke NO English and didn’t even attempt to communicate. It literally took 5 minutes to figure out that he needed me to sign the bill — and I speak Spanish and kept asking!
They need to hire better people, both those making the food and delivering it.

We have had two incidents recently when we were not feeling well after taking food out. We are not going to be back. Lesson learned. The quality of the food degraded immensely. We wonder why.

AMAZING sandwiches and great deli selection. It feels just like being in Italy because of their cured meat and pastry selection. My only complaint is that it’s a little overwhelming when ordering from the counter. This is a very popular place so if you aren’t aggressive enough you may get passed over in line. A deli ticket system is needed here.

An amazing selection of Italian meats, cheese, fresh pasta and ready made foods. Perfect for singles or a family.

Thank God I have this place so close to my house so I don’t have to miss so much italian cold cuts.
Here I found pretty good options and I am a regular costumer now.
To be honest I never tried their prepared dishes but I guess I will someday.
They also have a nice selection of fresh pasta (that I once bought to make a lasagna), biscuits and other italian products.

This place is just too over priced
If you think whole foods is pricey — dont even come here. You will be shocked
Their deserts are really dry & old… Yet super expensive
Their cheese are also overpriced… Soup is way too salty.

I really like Milano Market. They have a good selection of Italian prepared foods and groceries, and I want to support local businesses like this.
However, last night I spent $ 8.50 on a bad hunk of aged gouda. I had one bite, and had to spit it out. There are no «sell-​by» dates on any of the cheeses, so it’s really a roll of the dice. consider yourself warned.

Great food, but the cashiers need a little education in customer service.
Ordered food and went to pay… one girl was standing there putting labels on bakery boxes as I stood there for 5 minutes… She told me someone would be right there… while she stood there and labeled boxes… after 5 minutes I finally asked why she couldn’t check me out, «I’m on a break» I walked out and left the food on the counter… can’t wait for whole foods to open 2 blocks away.

Ich kann wirklich nicht verstehen, wieso so viele Menschen so positive Meinungen über Milano Market haben. Die Angestellte sind sehr, sehr unfreundlich, sogar unhöflich. Die Sandwichs habe ich nie probiert, aber ich habe Süßigkeiten einige Male gekauft, und sie sind sehr wenig überzeugend. Hier werde ich wahrscheinlich nie zurückkommen. Sehr enttäuschend. Lohnt sich überhaupt nicht.

BEST DELI EVER
best cheese selection
yummy italian food
great bread
good sweets
the orzo salad and buffalo meatballs are to die for
huge sandwiches
you have to make a visit.

Their sandwiches are AMAZING. They are huge, stuffed full of whatever ingredients you choose, they will not cheat you on that.
I like the Market a lot. Great selection of hot and cold sanwiches, lots of varieties of sides (pasta salads, egg salad, mashed potatoes, veggie salads, etc.) All sorts of stuff. They are quick with service and everything just seems so fresh and flavorful.
If you want to do your grocery shopping there, you can get the basic necessities there too. But the prices are definitely higher than if you went to the super market down the street so just keep that in mind.
Otherwise, the food on the go is really great. =)

Overall, the food is quite good, not the buffalo mozzarella, which is always old (they never show the «Best before» on the packages. NEVER!). Is it legal?!
The bread is not bad.
Very poor service (especially the cashiers).
They never give you the receipt (NEVER!!)!Again, is it legal?!

Delicious Hot Pastrami Deli Sub… generous portion of meat on a homemade crusted bun
great staff! well run
epitomizes the NY Deli… great value where you can get a hardy lunch for less $ 20 and have enough change for a coffee ;)
fresh horshradish… yum
i’ll be a regular

Want a delicious Italian sub? Come here
The sandwich was packed with meat and cheese and what is even better is you can customize it to your liking. I ordered it on focaccia bread. The minimum was $ 15 for delivery so i got a ¼ lb of penne vodka and that was pretty good as well.
Since i was impressed with the penne vodka I went back last Sunday but they didnt have it so i guess it depends on the day what prepared food they have. There was a decent line on a Sunday but it seemed to move quick.
The food seems fresh and definitely worth a try if your on the upper east side
