The small, counter-service shop between First and Second Avenues specializes in chicken cutlet sandwiches, including a spicy vodka chicken parm and versions served on focaccia with prosciutto, mozzarella, arugula and other toppings. Sandwiches run into the mid-to-upper $20 range.
Owner Jen Royle opened the original Table Mercato in Boston's North End in 2020, where the shop has developed a following for its generously portioned sandwiches.
The East Village outpost debuted on Sept. 26.
The early reviews have been enthusiastic. In an Oct. 7 write-up, The Infatuation called Table Mercato "Boston's best export to New York since Babe Ruth."
Reviewer Will Hartman praised the juicy chicken cutlets, spicy vodka sauce and rosemary-flecked focaccia. He acknowledged the steep prices but noted that the sandwiches are large enough to make two meals out of one.
One thing to keep in mind: There's no seating, so you'll have to take your sandwich elsewhere.
Table Mercato opens at 11 a.m. Tuesday through Sunday, with closing times varying by day.
