Milano Market Westside

Milano Market is everything you want from a classic Italian deli. The place has an authentic feel, and the sandwiches are absolutely massive—come hungry.

I had the burrata sandwich. It was fantastic, loaded with creamy burrata. The fig jam was a little on the sweet side for my taste, but it was still a great sandwich overall. It's a solid spot for a huge, satisfying lunch.

A classic Italian deli, packed with shelves of imported goods and a warm, nostalgic aesthetic. The prosciutto sandwich I had was flavorful — sweet from a generous drizzle of honey, balanced by a well-made sauce. While it didn’t come with a huge portion of prosciutto, the overall taste was satisfying.

The customer service didn’t quite match the quality of the food or the ambiance. I asked politely if I could order half a sandwich and was met with a surprisingly curt, dismissive response. Later, when I took a few pictures of the interior, the staff became visibly irritated.

Annoying that the sandwich prices in the store are different than what is on their online pickup order. Sandwich online is $14.50 and in store is $16. Also a $16 sandwich shouldn’t have old pieces of arugula in it.

Otherwise staff is attentive and fast and Sandwich is pretty good.

While visiting Columbia University, I stopped by Milano Market Westside for a quick bite—and I’m so glad I did. Tucked away right next to campus, this place is a classic New York-style deli with an impressive selection of fresh, made-to-order sandwiches and hot dishes.

I ordered the tomato soup and a chicken parm sandwich, and both were excellent. The soup was rich, flavorful, and comforting—perfect for a chilly afternoon. The chicken parm sandwich was crispy, cheesy, and just the right amount of indulgent. You can really tell they care about quality and ingredients.

The vibe inside was lively but friendly, with lots of students and locals dropping in. It’s one of those spots that feels fast-paced but still warm and personal.

If you’re in the area—whether you’re visiting Columbia, exploring Morningside Heights, or just craving a great sandwich—Milano Market is definitely worth a stop. It’s the kind of place you wish you had in your own neighborhood.
