1) The place doesn't look clean…read more 2) a lot of their products are not fresh. Just 30 seconds into the store and you'll be able to tell. Have a look at the pics I posted. We wanted to try some of the pastries they have in one of the sections, the girl said I'm not gonna charge you because the items are too old and they might not be good anymore. ( then why the heck would you even sell them???!!!) 3) some items are really overpriced. You can find them for cheaper price in international market I left buying only a mascarpone cheese and some honey. The honey was one of the most expensive honey I've bought and in terms of the quality it was probably the worst I've ever had. Don't get the thyme honey, it's basically water and sugar in the form of honey.

I recently tried D'Amico and Sons Italian Market and Bakery. It's located in one of the last open…read moremalls in the Orlando and Central Florida area. This mall does feel like a backroom, or liminal space. They are as advertised, a local Italian market, deli, and bakery. The trifecta, if you will. It's got a huge parking space area and located next to a gym. They offer a lot of Italian goods from cheese to meats to pistachio spread to snacks. The meat counter offers hot sandwiches and they even have a sandwich of the week. They have a bakery counter and to no one's surprise, many items will be sold out if you go at the end of the day. This was disappointing for me as I really wanted to try their pistachio sfogliatelle. So we got two huge sandwiches, which they cut in half for you, and some baked goods and coffee. They have a coffee counter and the lattes are good. We tried the sandwich of the week, which was a breaded chicken cutlet on fresh baked bread with caramelized onions, fig jam, and provolone. This was a 8.5/10. It was good, rich, and fatty. Not a light meal sandwich. Definitely had half of it and felt very full. We also got the Soprano, which was a breaded chicken cutlet on fresh baked bread with pesto, tomatoes, prosciutto, arugula, and fresh shaved parmesan. This was a 9/10. Lighter on the body than the other sandwich, but it was still filling and I can only have one half at a time. The sandwiches came out to about $30 for both, but that's almost four meals right there for that price. For the baked goods, we tried the Nutella sfogliatelle, pistachio creampuff, and a pistachio cannoli. A sfogliatelle is a laminated pastry that looks like a lobster tail. This was delicious and crispy and sweet. I wish I could have tried the pistachio one. This was a 8.5/10. The pistachio creampuff surprised me. This was a 8.5/10. I thought it was going to be too sweet, but it was good. Pistachio flavor could have been stronger. The pistachio cannoli was a 10/10. This was insanely good and perfect and I should have bought five of them. We tried the cookie butter latte from the cafe. This was a 9/10. The cookie butter was well mixed with the espresso and the espresso was strong and high quality. Overall, this place was a 9.5/10 and I will be back. I mean those prices and that quality moves it from the "let me try" list to the "let me be a regular" list.

Saw an ad for D'Amico & Sons and decided it was worth the drive over to the Oviedo Mall for lunch…read more I'm glad I made the trip. The market occupies a storefront outside the mall with plenty of convenient parking nearby. Once inside, I was impressed by how spacious it is. There's a bakery, deli, gelato case, and an impressive selection of prepared foods including lasagna, spaghetti and meatballs, Alfredo, and other Italian favorites. Shelves are also stocked with imported pastas, sauces, olive oils, and other specialty items, making it just as much an Italian market as a lunch destination. I arrived around noon and found a short line at the deli counter. Even during the lunch rush, I had my order placed and was waiting in the pickup area within about five minutes. Now for my own self-inflicted mistake. I walked in fully intending to order the Sinatra with mortadella, but somehow had a complete brain freeze and ordered the Sparano instead. I didn't realize my error until I unwrapped the sandwich at one of the outdoor tables. Oh well...it looked too good not to dive in. The Sparano is built on a beautiful artisan roll with basil pesto, a cold chicken cutlet, Prosciutto di Parma, fresh mozzarella, roasted red peppers, arugula, and a balsamic drizzle. Flavor wise, it was excellent. Every ingredient tasted fresh and high quality. My only criticism was the overall texture. The sandwich ate a little dry for my taste, and I think it could benefit from a touch more moisture, perhaps a little extra balsamic, olive oil, or another spread to better complement the hearty bread. The roll itself was exactly the type of rustic Italian bread I normally love, with a chewy interior and beautifully crisp crust. Combined with the generous size of the sandwich, however, it became a bit of a challenge to take a proper bite. By the end, the roof of my mouth had definitely lost the battle with that crust. Even so, the quality of the ingredients and the generous portion made it an excellent value. Next time I'll actually order the sandwich I intended, the Sinatra and if it's as good as it looks, I have a feeling I'll be making this trip more often.

So this place is RIGHT by my job, and I decided to just walk in one day because it says "craft beer…read moredestination" but looks like a normal convenience store. OH MY GOSH THE WALL OF CRAFT BEER IS INSANE! All good ones too :) they also have THC drinks if that is what you're in to. Walking down the aisles you can find international snacks (A5 Wagyu Lays Chips and Cinnamon Bun Oreos?! Yes please!) and your typical convenience store items. And on top of all of that, it smells so so SOOOO good in here around lunchtime. I had to order some fresh made food. I was feeling a Philly cheesesteak and honestly it was pretty decent. I would want to order their Chicken Tikka Sandwich next time though because that looks like insanity in a handheld sandwich! They also make their own pasta salads. I took some pesto pasta salad home and my fiancé and I are obsessed. I will absolutely be back!

The prices for the imported dry goods is insanely reasonable. I've looked some of the products up online and they were a third the price. Fresh spices, produce and frozen good selection was the best part for me. This is a place I have drove past so many time but now will make a staple. The customer service was friendly and they were stocking more fresh produce while I was there. You have a request, just ask and they will see if they can get it for you. If you're looking to eat.

Family owned and reasonably priced produce. Good quality produce. Some specialty items are high…read morepriced. Others are great prices. Ask them about their delivery days for extra fresh options. On those days it's like I just picked it from my garden. The customer service can be exceptional. Most of the employees give great service. However, there is one employee who seems to get testy as she seems to allow her moods to rule how she interacts with customers. She seems to be selective too, as I've seen her treat some customers badly and others well on the same day. She use to be nice with me until one day she accidently short changed me. When I brought it to her attention, she denied it. I smiled and said, "Well it's only a few cents anyway. If you find your register is over at the end of the day, you'll know where it came from." I had given her a quarter; she counted it as a nickel. It's very immature and unprofessional and petty to hold such a grudge, thus I couldn't give 5 stars. But I don't let that stop me from enjoying the good qualities of shopping locally. We are blessed to have a family run produce market in our neighborhood where most of the service providers take pride in their quality goods. They even have a few organic options.

Oh Hey! Key Foods is in Orlando! They're all over the place…read moreup north so it's good to see that they're opening here as well. It's located where Presidente use to be on the corner of Chickasaw and Curry Ford Rd. First thing I noticed when I walked in was the smell of Fabuloso cleaner. The place was spotlessly clean, so much better than when it was Presidente. It's still the same setup, and they had a lot of great sales going on. Got a bag of onions for 1.99, Malta India was on sale for 3.99, They also had sales on a wide array of coffees. Like Presidente, this supermarket has a lot of Latin American products. I love that the Bakery had like 5 different types of bread available. Pan de agua, Cuban bread, pan sobao, etc. I will definitely frequent this market.

I wish there were more stars for me to give them. Firstly I'm just about as basic American slob as…read moreit gets, I've got hamburgers for bones and my blood is an ungodly mix of Pepsi and bud light. My point is I'm not the most worldly guy. These wonderful people opened their kitchen to us in a way I've never experienced. Granted their dining space was limited and it was unused and unlit when we arrived. But with merely a flick of a light switch and we were treated to a level of culinary excellence this poor soul has never had the privilege to experience before and worries aside from a return trip may never experience again. The owner treated us like family, asking questions kindly as we appeared to be undoctrinated with the food. Unbeknownst to him our matriarch was Russian, and of course she ordered for us. I have no doubt though that you could walk off the street with no Russian interpreter ( my wife) and still have a lovely time. The beef pilaf...I could eat this endlessly. The beef is so tender and amazingly seasoned, you can tell care is taken with the preparation. With it the rice and carrots are a wonderful medley of sweet and savory. Anyone who has had fresh pickles knows there's just no comparison to the mass produced kind, and lucky is they served the pilaf with beautiful slightly sour dill pickle slices. The blinchink with beef was a wonderfully crisp pocket of savory flavors and perfectly balanced with a playfully spicy sauce. The Olibia salad was light and flavorful but oh so satisfying, and my god the rye bread they brought with it would bring tears to your eyes just by it's lonesome. A wonderful side effect of such a smaller venue is the attention you get paid by the staff. Can we say czar for a day? Food was coming out constantly, we never had to ask for a single concession whether it be drink, silverware or food. And although ordinarily such quick service might cause one to concern themselves with pre-made food of lower quality, i can assure you it isn't the case here. Everything, and i mean everything, from the in house compote and kvotz to the samsa was of the highest quality and freshness as soon as it hit the table. You know how olive garden likes to say " when you're here you're family"? Meanwhile when you actually go it's just a dull eyed college kid half heartedly tapping your microwave order on an iPad. Well here you really are, the owner went so far out of his way to ensure our visit was excellent. I am saying this without alliteration, the man hugged me twice. If you want the best Russian food you've ever had and simultaneously meet some genuinely wonderful people, l highly suggest this restaurant.

Plenty of parking and easily accessible for the handicap.
