Fairly standard Italian style deli sandwiches. I wasn't too impressed with their baguettes, perhaps a sourdough roll or foccacia would've been better options. Their prosciutto was tasty though, as was their mozzarella. If you couldn't tell, I ordered the very last sandwich on the list. Supposedly it had some type of dressing over the arugula, but I really couldn't taste it. The chicken, avocado that my friend got looked tasty, I'm going to try that next time. You should pick up a sandwich here and eat it up on the highline's lawn, which is a block away.
A friend took me here and I had a veggie sandwich, which was very good…it tasted fresh and flavorful, especially for being a vegetarian sandwich. The bread was also great quality, which added to the overall flavor of the sandwich. I would definitely try this place again, but probably opt for a meat sandwich of some sort.
Great sandwich, but I don't know why they charge me one price for a sandwich and a different price for the same sandwich. Anyways they seem to be a little rushy so they messed up my order on the bread. But still no biggie, bread still taste delicious. This is only the take-out part of the restaurant, if you want to dine in, i think it is the restaurant adjacent to it.
Bottino Take-Out is one of those places that makes simple sandwiches incredibly well. Sandwiches that feature a short list of fresh, high quality, and well prepared ingredients in classic combinations. While I'm a huge fan of crazy creative sandwiches, there's something to be said for the "keep it simple, stupid"method. When you've got the right pieces you don't need much else.
I will admit I purely decided to try this place out b/c of the ratings on yelp and am happy to say that I was not disappointed.
There was a bit of a line as I got there around 12:30 but it moved pretty quickly. I ordered the tuna sandwiched and chose the olive bread. Unfortunately when it came time to pay I looked closely at the bill,which was higher than I had expected and low and behold the cashier had charged me $.75 more. I know, it's only $.75 but I really don't like when merchants make those "errors" — always in their favor. I pointed it out and after faining confusion, she efunded me the difference.
The sandwich was fabulous – great tuna salad and really fabulous bread.
Just be sure to check the amount on your check.
For college students, value often takes priority over quality and I am ashamed to admit I have, on occasion, considered heading to the Subway next door over instead of paying for a smaller sandwich at Bottino. Luckily for me though, I have yet to succumb to these moments of weakness. The sandwiches at Bottino are amazing! I've been around this area several times before/after a gallery day and been desperately searching for a cheap meal. Now, I know to add this place to my regular rotation.
If you come around lunch time, the line can get kind of crazy, but they've got a system down and process orders fairly quickly. In fact, I was worried I wouldn't be able to make a decision on what to order before it was my turn. Luckily, it seems that the sandwiches here are great no matter what you choose. Even the ones that sound simple (you might be thinking "what possible turkey sandwich could be good enough to justify an $8 price tag") are great. The condiments meld perfectly with the deli meats and the focaccia – OH MY GOD the focaccia!! I swear, this was some of the best bread I've ever had. It's so fluffy and airy and I've never understood how my roommate can just snack on bread alone, but now I know. I've been thinking about that focaccia ever since and I can't wait to go back.
Sandwiches here are packed and is as big as the size of your fist. Located just about a block off of the high line park, bottino take out offers a variety of sandwiches on multi grain, rye, baguette or sour dough bread. The one sandwich I always get is #18 which has mottzarella, tomatoes, prosciutto and baby arugula all in between two slices of multigrain bread. The bread and all products is all done on premises. Bottino offers fresh salad greens, and vegan friendly salads. They have a display case of all the fresh salad made daily.
I came here maybe once or twice before when I'm near the Chelsea/highline area in the city. I remembered the sandwiches were really good and big. So I had to come back and rekindle what I had remembered.
Recommendation: Sandwich #18!
Stopped here for lunch on the way to a meeting and I must say… they have a system down! The shop is very small and the line winds around the open space they have inside. The menu is on the wall and easy to read with a lot of great salad and sandwich choices. One of the staff members would yell out "next" and that person would yell out their order so by the time you get to the cashier your order is ready just as you wanted. There isn't a lot of room to modify your salads since they are mostly pre-made to for time saving. I ordered a sandwich and it was so delicious and very fresh! Oh, and you can call ahead to place your order too which is nice. The short wait was worth it! Would definitely come here again if I am in the area.
