New York Times: 57 Sandwiches That Defines New York City

Featured on The New York Times’ list of 57 Sandwiches That Define NYC.

Founded in 1986 in the heart of SoHo, Alidoro has become one of New York City’s most celebrated Italian sandwich shops - known for meticulous craftsmanship, uncompromising ingredients, and a following that spans generations.


Each Alidoro sandwich is made fresh daily with thoughtfully sourced Italian meats, cheeses, and house-made spreads - honoring tradition while adding a distinct New York edge. From our prosciutto sliced to order to our black-garlic mustard and truffle cream, every recipe is engineered for balance, flavor, and nostalgia in every bite.


Now with locations across New York City and inside iconic destinations like Rockefeller Center, Moynihan Train Hall and JFK Airport, Alidoro also offers Italian catering across NYC, bringing our signature sandwiches and antipasti to offices, events, and celebrations citywide.


We invite you to discover why Alidoro has been called the gold standard of Italian sandwiches in NYC - a place where heritage meets modern craftsmanship, and every sandwich tells the story of Italy, made in New York.
