Smartwich is an absolute gem. Chef Michael is incredible—so kind, thoughtful, and clearly passionate about curating each recipe with care. I had such a wonderful lunch here today and couldn’t resist trying the meatball Smartwich, which turned out to be one of the most delicious meals I’ve had in a long time. I paired it with his homemade bay leaf iced tea, and it was a perfect match. For dessert, I tried Chef Michael’s homemade Portuguese pastel de nata for the very first time, and wow—it immediately earned a spot in my top five favorite sweet treats. Thank you, Chef Michael, for truly making my day with your amazing cuisine!

Heroes are very good here. Can definitely taste the freshness in ingredients. It is a fair price too. The Pastel De Nata egg tarts are very good here too. I get them by the dozen and put in the freezer for later. Make sure to show up early before they are sold out though. The chef is an extremely nice guy. Always a pleasure to order food from. He explains his options and gives recommendations.

Smartwich is hands down the best sandwich spot on Long Island. Every detail is intentional — from the incredibly fresh, high-quality ingredients to the perfectly baked bread and thoughtfully balanced flavors. You can tell immediately that this isn’t just another sandwich shop; it’s a place built on pride, creativity, and consistency.
Chef Guerreri, genuinely cares about his clients and their experience. Whether it’s taking the time to explain ingredients, customize an order, or simply make you feel welcome, his attention to people matches the care he puts into the food.
To top it all off, I had a pastel de nata for dessert, and it was phenomenal. Perfectly flaky on the outside, warm and creamy on the inside, with just the right balance of sweetness — easily one of the best I’ve had. It was the perfect ending to an already outstanding meal.
If you appreciate great food made by someone who truly loves what they do and values their customers, Smartwich is a must-visit. It’s not just a great sandwich — it’s a great experience.

So glad I found this place. Met Chef Michael and was immediately impressed by his passion, energy… and then his amazing sandwiches. I’m hearing there’s a new location coming soon to Syosset and can’t wait. Either way, I’ll be back to try more! My favorite so far is the Octopus.

If you never have never been to Smartwitch you’re missing out this Chef cares about his food and his customers the amount of effort he puts into all the ingredients and love will open your pallet to something like you have never experienced before he catered a big party for my job and everything was done exactly on time also everyone loved the food and had nothing but great things to say

There is really nothing else like a Smartwich. The house-made Portuguese bread with the perfect amount of crunch takes each Smartwich to the next level, and there are so many great options to choose from. Favorites are the Crudo, the Chicken (with the pastrami spread), and the Bacon (I like to add mozz) but the real way to go is to try whatever current Smartwich is running as a special. I just had the stuffed jalapeño one which inspired me to write this! So ridiculously good. Thank you Chef Michael!

I had the pleasure of seeing Chef Michael today and having his famous Sardines sandwich – it is phenomenally delicious!! The sardines are fresh and combined with the right amount of herbs and the perfect amount of acid via vinegar , to make the taste burst in your mouth ; they make one feel like they are being served in a bistro on the Spanish Mediterranean! If you like sardines , you’ll love the Chefs version ; if you haven’t tried them, run there to try ! The entire menu is filled with delicious items and the Chef prepares and presents them majestically!

An absolute hidden gem! One of the best sandwiches I’ve ever had. Everything tasted incredibly fresh, and the spicy hot oil sauce took it to the next level. I ordered The Whites — fluffy egg whites, fresh spinach, and perfectly melted brie on a warm, crispy Portuguese roll. Every bite was packed with flavor and texture. You can really taste the quality and care that goes into their food. Can’t wait to come back and try more!
