Via Della Scrofa
60 E 4th St, New York, NY
Crema's Take
“Tucked away on a quiet East Village street, Via Della Scrofa is a genuine Italian corner café that doubles as an artisanal market—stop in for a cappuccino and you'll leave with fresh paninis made from ingredients sourced right there on the premises, along with hard-to-find Italian specialties like Bronte DOP pistachio cream and Chinotto Neri. The bread here is genuinely exceptional, the portions generous enough to satisfy without weighing you down, and whether you're grabbing coffee during a break or settling in to linger over lunch, the warm, unpretentious vibe makes it feel like a neighborhood discovery rather than just another café.”

Fresh ingredients made from their market on the spot! Good portion. I get this during my break and it leaves me satisfied without feeling too heavy or bloating. Special shoutout to the bread: it was toasty and crunchy on the outside but soft and warm on the inside. The sandwich melts in your mouth ** if you don’t want food, go for the coffee, it’s the best in the neighborhood for a really good price **
One of the Best Sandwiches I've Ever Tasted!! Stumbled into Via Della Scrofa the other afternoon intending to just buy a coffee. So pleasantly surprised to find that it is so much more than a coffee/panini shop, but actually a cute and well-curated Italian market. I waited patiently to place my order, stopping myself from filling my hands with jars of imported olive oils, cookies or cured meats. Finally I placed my order - ordered the Scrofa - and watched the simple process used to make it. The man behind the counter was efficient, kind and intentional in his work. He handed me my sandwich and I took it to the car for my hour-long ride home. Two blocks away I decided to take my first bite of this crunchy, smoky, oil-dripping panino and I nearly spun the car around to go get another one! Not an exaggeration, one of the top 5 sandwiches I've ever had in my life - and I do not give that credit out lightly. I will 100% go back and try more because this spot is now officially on my forever - YOU HAVE TO GO List.
Excellent shop that has Chinotto Neri 8 and many other specialties that are hard to find. The paninis are great. I can't wait to go there again.
This little store in East Village has my favorite product from Italy, Pistacchio Cream from Bronte DOP and many other italian products.
VIa Della Scrofa as road is a small Italian cafe serving up a menu of savory eats and coffee drinks as well as Italian grocery items. The cafe is located on a quiet street, so it’s a nice spot to grab a coffee and eats and stroll around the East Village or elsewhere. The interior is clean, well organized, and welcoming—has that local store charm as well as ton of high quality food items. no seats, grab n go only The sandwiches menu contains a number of savory bites. Last time, I tried the “Porco Deddena”—porchetta (roasted pork), sun dried tomatoes, and smoked mozzarella on a small soft chewy baked roll. The sandwich is served warm. The porchetta / pork is amazing—fatty, flavorful, and savory. The sun-dried tomatoes has that intense tart sweet flavor that cuts through the sandwich. The smoked mozzarella has that subtle scent and taste of fiery smokiness and an earthy meatiness to it. The roll is has that soft chew carb-y grain that folds the pork, sun dried tomatoes and mozzarella together. This is a small sandwich that is worth every calorie because it uses such high quality ingredients and really shows off that simple can rival complex any day of the week for a meal. Porco Deddenna, $9.99 + tax + tip Staff is chilled out and friendly.
