I love the sandwich’s here. Prices are a bit high for a sandwich but it is worth it. Been here a few times so far, fresh ingredients and delicious taste. Will be back for sure

I visited Nico’s Fitzroy and tried the Giardiniera. The sandwich was fresh and flavorful, with nicely balanced ingredients and a good crunch from the vegetables. Personally, I found the taste pleasant but a little more subtle than expected—it could have had a stronger kick for my preference. The portion size was satisfying, and the bread was warm and well-textured, which made it enjoyable overall. The café itself has a lively and welcoming atmosphere, perfect for grabbing a quick bite or sitting down with friends. Staff were friendly and attentive, making the experience smooth and comfortable. Overall, it’s a good spot to try if you’re around Fitzroy, especially if you enjoy fresh ingredients and classic Italian-style sandwiches.

Best sandwich I’ve had in Australia. I got the kimchi cheese sandwich. The bread is high quality, but the cherry on top is how crispy the bread was from frying it, and the little bit of salt on the crust. I do a lot of kimchi toasties at home and can never get them this crispy

Salad Sandwich Review! Sandwich good but not amazing. 6/10 Bread wasn’t super fresh but you could tell it was real bread. There was also just way too much cheese in it. Thick and dried my mouth out. The fillings otherwise were good! Nice place for a sit down lunch outside. (Hectors Deli salad sandwich, although quite different, is definitely nicer) They may have other sandwiches that are better but salad sanga is not it

Really great sandwich shop! Ordered the chicken schnitzel sandwich and it was wonderful and my friend very much enjoyed her spicy chicken sandwich. The service was great and has a nice outside area to wait and eat. Really excited to try more of the food here! Do note that sometimes the wait can be a tad long around lunch times but it’s totally worth it!

Love the vibe, the outdoor tables are great. Service is quick and sandos are superb. The chicken schnitzel one is great, and keen to try the other flavours. Prices are fair for the size (I was quite impressed with it).

Hands down one of the best sandwhichs I have had. The chicken was fresh juicy and tender melted in your mouth! Will definitely be back next time in Melbourne. Would recommend going a bit before lunch time as can get busy
