  • This place had amazing sandwiches that filled us up! You only need one sandwich for two people. The ingredients were so fresh, the bread was wonderfully chewy, and the sandwich was incredibly flavorful. Wonderful service as well.

MEET CARMELO & ANTONELLA

Owners and founders of Pisillo Panini. Carmelo came to America in 2008, with Antonella and their little girl, to pursue the dream he had cultivated since childhood: to live in New York. One day, he notices that right in the financial district, there was a small place for rent. Immediately, a brilliant idea flashes through his mind: it is the opportunity he has been waiting for for a long time, the right place to start his sandwich shop. The rest.. is history!

Buon Appetito!
