I finally tried this place. Go early they run out of stuff. It was recommended that I try the simple, Mortadella on Focaccia ($14.56) by the guy at the register. "It represents what we do here." I also got the Bombolone with pastry cream ($6.24). Both (2) were impressive. The Mortadella was good and the Focaccia was oily and salty. Hence,...Bread & Salt. There were many other things I want to try. They did a nice job setting the place up. Nice wines, pasta, and other Italian goods for sale on the shelves. It's pricey.
Got a prosciutto & mozzarella sandwich…literally tasted exactly like a sandwich I had in Italy. So delicious. Bread was perfectly crispy, mozzarella & prosciutto super fresh and soft…honestly exceeded my expectations a LOT.
Bread and Salt = Fat and Happy! The focaccia is simply phenomenal and the bread, donuts, pastries and house-made Italian desserts are fantastic. You might spend a bit of money but it's well worth the quality of ingredients and the care taken with the baking process.
Bread and Salt is such a rare treat. The bread is incredible, and a loaf lasts an entire week, yielding first great bread then toast then croutons and bread crumbs. Of course if you get Rick Easton’s cookbook you can make his delicious “meat” balls (3 kinds!), stuffed peppers, papa Al pomodoro, etc. The donuts are perfect with an espresso in the morning, and so far I have had the onion focaccia, the tomato and the zucchini- all outstanding. I look forward to this bakery opening on Friday all week, and the sandwiches are delicious- my favorite so far is the fig, Gorgonzola and salami. The ones I have had are all made on crispy, olive oil-y focaccia. There is usually a small line but the line conversations are great for menu suggestions, and you can usually have a coffee while you wait. Luckily I live close by but I would drive from Manhattan for this place!! ***Refreshing this review to say the panettone is off the hook. Waited in line for an hour and worth every single minute- you won’t find a better one in NYC. Incredible.
The best in the business. The attention to detail is extraordinary. They bring in the top ingredients and a staff to match. There can be a line but well worth it. Good things come To those who wait. Thanks to Nick, Alberto, Paul, Rick and anyone I missed
Omg incredible experience! I live in the Heights and love how conveniently close this unique eatery is to our place. My partner and I come here pretty often to pickup food; they had a special today - bread with a puree of tiny fish and spicy tomato sauce. It was incredible - a spicy flavor explosion in my mouth!! Overall, the quality of everything on their menu is exceptional. I always keep coming back for their specials. If you appreciate an eatery that prioritizes nuanced and deep flavors + quality above all else, this is your place and is money well spent!
