The crispy potatoes with burnt ends may be one of the best food-things on earth.
ChrisMarch 29, 2013Keep on raising their prices - it's now over $13 (including tax) for the sandwich
Ryan AmbsJune 19, 2015First time having a porchetta and, while I imagine this was a good rendition of it, the overall sandwich was not that interesting, in fact it was rather bland and boring.
Classic porchetta sandwich & chicory salad (dressing = super garlicky) to go.

Solid porchettas but just a step below the one at Eataly.

Constantine FrantzeskosAugust 24, 2010It's amazingly great - have either the sandwich or plate with potatoes and black cherry soda. Heaven on earth.

David RohrsheimJune 14, 2011Emma and her friend started my day off right. Big advocates for the East Village!
DeborahJune 26, 2012The porchetta was a disappointment. The bread was super hard and not enough crackling. Meat and bread's porchetta sandwich is way better. Go to Vancouver and try it!
The porchetta sandwich feels like Tuscany! I would have it everyday!
Alfred LeeJuly 27, 2009Pick up the sandwich and take it to Tompkins Square Park. The owner will suggest the crispy potatoes and burnt ends.
Mike CardosaMarch 20, 2010Make sure you use the special salt that they have on the counter. Goes great on the potatoes.
