Chipilo
48 Mulberry St, New York, NY
Crema's Take
“Chipilo is a beloved Chinatown sandwich destination where Italian craftsmanship meets genuine hospitality, offering impeccably composed sandwiches on your choice of sfilatino or ciabatta bread alongside homemade iced tea and quality ingredients like prosciutto, burrata, and fig jam. The staff's warmth and efficiency make it an ideal quick stop for lunch or a casual meeting, and the option to order half sandwiches lets you taste multiple house specials in one visit. This is the kind of neighborhood spot where attention to detail in both the food and the service creates a reliably excellent experience.”

High quality ingredients (I enjoyed the smoked chicken), good sandwich compositions, and friendly service.
Delicious italian sandwich spot for lunch in Chinatown. For your sandwich, you can choose between sfilatino or ciabatta bread. The staff are always incredibly polite and welcoming! I've been here around 4 times so far and I always leave super satisfied.
Amazing sandwiches!! Really good. I love how they had half sandwiches so I could try two different ones. I got two of their specials and they were both SO good. The prosciutto, burrata, and fig jam had the perfect balance and it was served on really amazing, fresh bread. The meatball sub was perfect for a winter’s day and delicious. The staff were also super kind and helpful. I went during the Thursday lunch hour and had no wait which was nice. Even if I did, they made the sandwiches incredibly fast which was nice.
I got the Al Capone vegetarian sandwich to go - when I opened it up about 15 minutes later, it was not just soggy but DRIPPING WET, like sitting in a puddle of juices - so gross. Why would you ever use soupy ingredients for a sandwich? Nice service and cute shop but a total violation of basic sandwich principles 😭
The gentlemen working there was very polite and friendly. He made our sandwiches quickly and they came out amazing. The quality is fantastic and very fresh. The iced tea was homemade, and also very fresh. Overall a great sandwich and the prices are very fair.
