Cugini Italian Cafe & Market

Excellent sandwiches and great atmosphere! A great place to eat a nice meal and chat for a while!

I can't tell you how excited I am about this new place! Living in a small town, many of the restaurants are very similar, so I am always excited when something different opens up.

The place:

They did a great job with the flow of the place. It has the classy cafe meets deli feel. They even have windows that completely open up when the days are nice. I think they did that to temp you with all of the yummy smells when you walk by. You can tell they paid attention to the small details in the place.

The food:

My wife and I came on the opening night to check this place out. I ordered the Chicken Parmesan Sub which was amazing. Remember, this isn't Subway; they use top notch ingredients such as their in-house-made bread and their cheese from Golden Age cheese (a local cheese company). I followed that up with a couple of iced shortbread cookies that were amazing! My wife had the Cheese, Bacon, & Tomato Panini with a Cannoli for dessert. She said it was amazing! If you are a coffee lover, they use Lavazza coffee which is top notch. We both loved our latte's!

The verdict:

We are sold; we absolutely love this place! Everything we had was nothing short of top notch. I can't wait to come back and try more items on the menu and even check out many of the things they have for sale in the store. One other big plus is that you can go to their website, make an online order, and then just walk in to pick it up and go!!!

Excellent food for an excellent price. Chill atmosphere, good (if sweet) cider, and their caprese was TO DIE FOR. Didnt have them, but saw they have pizzas and fresh cannoli. Loved sitting next to the big open window on a beautiful day. Will visit again.

Delicious spaghetti and meatballs, panini for my dad, and mini cannolis.

It was good food. The pizza was far better than the pasta; would not get the pasta again.

Every time I am in the Corning area, I make it a mission to stop at Cugini Cafe and indulge in the amazing sandwiches, pizzas and even locally made cheeses they have to offer. The customer service is top notch and very helpful when explaining the different types of meats and cheeses. I strongly suggest making this a top destination when in the Corning area!

I got the ham and cheese panini, and, well, they didn't exagerate, it was just ham and cheese. It was ok, but it really needed something more. The pizza looks good, and I love the dining area. I'm willing to give it another try next time I'm in town.

Walked in looking for the "250 items" they stock as stated in the website. There might be 250 items if you count every potato chip in the joint....but they are woefully sorry when it comes to meat and cheeses....just a few Boar's Head selections...out of Italian bread...very unimpressive....nothing to buy for our picnic lunch....

We absolutely fell in love with this place. We both had personal pizzas 👍 both were Awesome. This place is an Italian deli, restaurant & a European Cafe and they do everything very very well. The staff was the best, especially Matt went way above & beyond I would give this place 10 stars if I could

Awesome sub
Only been there once but if all dishes done as well at reasonable price, worth going. WILL go back. Pizza looked like real Neapolitan thin crust real mozzarella, etc
