    Yesterday 12 of us celebrated my mother's 99th birthday with brunch at the Cellar. What a…read morewonderful experience! We were met with tables, arranged to seat 12 of us, covered in white tablecloths, with small candle lamps on the table. My mother remarked on the beautiful place settings. Our server, Lauren, immediately took our beverage orders, and promptly returned with our requests. Once everyone arrived, we received plates of sliced bread with seasoned dipping oil. Our brunch orders were filled quickly, and our family from large cities were very impressed with the presentation and variety of the menu offerings. We could not have asked for a nicer afternoon. They stopped serving brunch at 2 PM, but did not rush us out of the restaurant, and helped present Mom's birthday cake. We hope to celebrate her 100th birthday there next year!

We visited for my birthday a couple weeks ago and had a very pleasant experience. First, service from Liz was outstanding. Very attentive without being bothersome, you can tell she really enjoys her job and is very good at it! We started with the fried calamari app and it was fantastic, probably the best we've ever had. Tender, crispy, perfectly fried to a golden brown and lightly mixed with Thai sweet chili sauce. 10/10. My wife got their version of Shrimp Scampi, which was good, but very "wet", like the pasta wasn't fully drained or possibly pasta water was added to the pan and not reduced enough. It was also lacking in garlic flavor. Still good, but could've been better. I treated myself to the Frutti Di Mare, which was very good but suffered from the same problem as the Scampi, too wet. Unfortunately, in both dishes, that extra water diluted what could have been a very tasty sauce. It's too bad, but we see this watered down sauce dilution problem a lot in Italian restaurants. Overall, still a great experience and we'll be back at some point to give them another shot. We were told that they'll be rolling out some menu changes when they reopen after vacation.

    - A cheesesteak aficionado speaks! - - And I am…read morenot a purist! - I screwed up! This is one of the finest Italian/Pizza/Sub shops in the area and I've never talked about their awesome cheesesteak! This review rectifies this. Customer Service- So I blew into order my cheesesteak to-go. The young lady at the counter was a little chatty as I am and just fine. It took me maybe two minutes and my sammich was out in about five more. No choice but five stars! Food- So they bake their own rolls here which is a big plus. The gold standard for cheesesteak is an Amoroso roll from the Philadelphia area. These are not that but very good. There was plenty of tender meat with no fatty pieces. Good stuff! Here they add peppers onions & mushrooms, and I have no problem with that, and they were tasty. They use White American cheese, and it was tasty and there was plenty of it. Now for something weird and wonderful. A couple of years ago a good friend asked me to try adding pepperoni to my cheesesteak. I did and it was awesome! I've been doing it ever since and this time it costs me an extra buck. The basic sandwich is $11.99. I brought this bad boy home, and you can see my picture. It was an excellent filling cheesesteak, and I love supporting a local business. Five stars!

I have previously posted about Little Italy and must say I have never had a bad experience there. Food, service, everything. Always great. A gem of a restaurant, right on Main Street in the heart of Avon Park.

By the time our friendly waitress came to take our order, I was ready to follow Steven's advice and try one of their pizzas. It did not take long before a small pie arrived, generously topped with pepperoni, sausage, mushrooms, and onions. The flavors were spot on, and with a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for a little kick, it was perfect. I enjoyed it so much that while we spent the next 20 minutes chatting about travel, Yelp, and my sprinter van, I looked down to find I had polished off the entire pizza without even realizing it. Service was warm and attentive throughout. Our waitress made sure we were well cared for and handled splitting the check with ease. Market 27 also offers a wide variety of drinks, from sodas to beers. I went with a macro brew this time, but next visit I will branch out and try something different. Overall, Market 27 delivered a welcoming atmosphere, delicious food, and great service. It's an excellent choice for a casual meet‑up or a satisfying meal.
