Another player has joined the growing number of sandwich shops on the Upper East Side. La Panineria recently opened its doors at 322 East 81st Street between First and Second avenues – sandwiched between upscale resale shop Designer Revival and florist Art in Flowers.

The food business is certainly in the family’s blood. Pesce’s great uncle, Domenico Magliulo, owns Buon’Italia, the Italian importer in Chelsea Market; and Magliulo’s brother, the late Tony May, ran multiple restaurants, including the lauded San Domenico.
The menu features fresh cut Italian meats and cheeses (which are also available by the pound) on house-made baguettes and ciabatta. Guests can customize sandwiches with a variety of ingredients, choose a pre-made combo from the regular menu, or sample one of their featured sandwiches of the month. The menu also offers salads, pasta dishes, soups and a variety of Italian pastries like bombolone, canoli and tiramisu.
La Panineria joins other sandwich newcomers La Sandwicherie and Regina’s Grocery.
We lost one or two new sandwich joints on 3rd Ave.
I know one in yorksville what’s the other one?
Food is GREAT and the guys that work there are very nice! Barstool chairs if you want to eat in or order on the go. Great neighborhood addition! I wish them the best of luck!!
