[[HIGHLIGHT]]This is a really nice little shop and deli.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I wish I was able to eat freely, because their prepared freezer meals look delicious. I popped in here for a Caprese Salad. My food allergies make eating out really difficult and I thought this would be a safe meal. What I received was certainly not a Caprese Salad, and the included salad dressing was surprisingly low quality and not something I can eat. What I got was a Caprese-inspired Salad. The oils that the mushrooms and artichokes were soaked in thankfully flavored up the salad just enough after cutting it all up. Online they show an authentic Caprese Salad, so I was quite confused. I was able to find some potato chips made with olive oil instead of the sunflower seed oil that I'm allergic to. Those were a nice, tasty surprise. The guy running the register was really friendly. The man running the deli side of things, not so much. read more

What an awesome experience here last week! It was too hot to cook and too hot to grill so my son and I stopped by for some premade meals from their fridge. We did some spaghetti and meatballs, a shrimp dish and a meat lasagna. We all enjoyed all the meals especially the shrimp one that went a little heavy on the garlic. The staff and friendly and even gave a cookie to my son and knew to ask me first. Well done and can't wait to head back soon enough. read more

Ippolito Italian Deli - Front - Delis Near Me - Largo, Florida

I miss my Italian markets up North. The stores in Texas just don't have the choices you want and can't seem to find many of their items that I wanted anywhere in Texas. This is such a great little store that has everything your heart desires if you are a chef with specific ingredients!! With that said, I've a plane to catch and couldn't take the store. I settled for an Italian Sandwich from their Deli counter!! The people working the counter were amazing, it was sweet to be able to grab that sandwich and site and enjoy at their tables. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Very clean and prices are absolutely respectable considering they are just a small business in a little shopping strip.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Ippolito Italian Deli - Delis Near Me - Largo, Florida

Oh yeah - a find. One benefit of being retired is having the time to explore your surroundings and sometimes, your efforts are rewarded. Wow, this place rules Italian food! I've never seen that much uncooked pasta in my life! After I got over my amazement of their food inventory, I ordered a sub sammy - made by a guy who looks like my great uncle - turkey, pastrami, provolone, mayo, lettuce & tomato on fresh baked Italian roll - to die for. And 2 blueberry cookies. Purchased from the delightfully grumpy owner. If yer located in the western hemisphere, consider checking this place out. read more

Love the store and the Sandwiches. The owner is Great. Alot of prepared delicious meals. Owner is great! And the cannolis [[HIGHLIGHT]]The store atmosphere is fantastic[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

This is the best place to get a sandwhich! Not only their sandwiches but the desserts and ready to heat meals are amazing. The guy who owns it is funny and we always get great service. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a small deli with a few tables but we always take ours to go.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The sandwhiches are huge and they have specials the rotate frequently. Definitely check them out if you are in the area! read more

SKIP IT. We bought a sampling of prepared meals such as meat lasagna, chicken piccata, eggplant parm., etc., and baked them to reheat for dinner. We were shocked and disgusted by the high salt content in all of the meals - I mean so much salt that they were literally inedible; it was as if someone had played a practical joke on us. Sadly, we will never go back and we do not recommend this deli. It is very expensive. Do not make the same expensive mistake that we made! RESPONSE TO OWNER: Try this: take a meat lasagna dinner out of your case; heat it up; take a big bite; what is the first thing that you notice? Just do it. read more

A touch of New York in Largo. I'm truly blessed to have Ippolito's walking distance from my home. After 60 years in New England and NYC I missed this home style deli. They have a great selection of sandwiches, salads, drinks and holiday treats. They also have a great selection of trays for parties and gatherings. On top of all that their baked goods are my wives favorites. I'm not complaining, and their staff is so friendly. read more

Love this place I can't say enough about how great there sandwiches and meals are. Can't stand when people come to fla. and complain about everything just go home and stay there ! read more

Oh, the sandwiches! At least a dozen delightful delicacies to choose from along with a weekly special. All the meat is sliced to order with a selection Jesus to finish them off. That's not all though, it's also a full Italian grocery with pastas, sauces, canned goods, and other gourmet items. They also have a refrigerator case full of prepared Italian dishes that you simply take home and reheat at your convenience. This review would not be complete without mentioning the wide array of desserts! Of course they have the cannolis, Italian cookies and things of that nature. The crowning glory is the tiramisu. I've easily tried dozens of tiramisu, but this one is the absolute best. read more

This is one of our favorite spots for their fresh deli sandwiches, and this was the first time we tried their special events/catering menu meals. This was a great, easy option as we were hosting extended family and wanted to focus on family time rather than cooking for our crew. Ippolito's offers great options for varying tastes and the gentleman who took our order over the phone was great at helping us figure out what size portion we needed for our sized group. When they know when you plan to eat, you can either pick it up warm and ready to go, or cold and ready to cook. We opted for the chicken Parmesan,meat/sausage lasagna, and greek salad. All three were a hit with our family and we had enough food for dinner and leftovers to enjoy the next day. read more

They have weekly lunch specials on their sub sandwiches that are awesome! Made to order and on their homemade bread! I try to go there at least once a week if not more! Highly recommended! And they also have a grocery store that carries a huge variety of Italian Products as well as homemade dinner options that you can take home and heat up. read more

Ippolito Italian Deli - This is their Cuban sub that was a special for this week. Excellent! - Delis Near Me - Largo, Florida

We've been coming to Ippolitos for more than 15 years. We moved away 12 years ago and it's always a MUST stop when we are home. You won't find a better place for Italian pastries, meats, cheese, cold deli items or subs. I can't rave enough about how amazing this place is. They've grown so much since we last stopped by, and the whole place is covered in the best Italian ingredients. They also have take away meals in their fridge section! Ippolito is a part of the family in our eyes and this place is home to our whole family! read more

Ippolito's food is authentic, hand made and delicious. The premade items in the refrigerated section are so convenient to take home and heat up. Ah, the lasagna! And all the other Italian specialties. So yummy. The foot long sandwiches and subs that are made at the back of the shop are two meals in one because they are so loaded with yummy meats, cheeses, veggies, condiments but you can only eat half the sandwich at a time. You can't go wrong with the sub of the day or any sub for that matter. It would be nice if the food in the deli counter was labeled a little better so you knew what the items are and the prices. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The store really isn't laid out that well. Sometimes it's a bit confusing where to go next to order and select and pay for food[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. But the quality of Ippy's delightful Italian cuisine is beyond reproach. read more

Very knowledgeable and friendly owner with homemade sausages great olive selection and fresh pastosa brand pasta a definitely recommend read more

Ippolito Italian Deli - Delis Near Me - Largo, Florida

I've never given much thought to deli's until I saw an Italian deli in St. Petersburg here on Yelp. I thought about going there because I love Italian food. Getting a ready made meal or two that I could heat up at home sounded great to me. Then while I was running errands I saw Ippolito's, so I decided to save myself a drive to St. Pete and try Ippolito's instead. I found a number of ready made, Italian dishes in their refrigerator. The prices seemed fair for the portion sizes. I went with the lasagna, which would make 2-3 meals for me. Sadly, I didn't care for it. I think that this store would benefit by the layout redone. When you walk in the door, you don't see any of the employees or the deli counter where they run the business and have the cash register. I was bothered by the fact that when I was in the store there were several employees behind the deli counter and none of them were wearing masks. There was a sign at the entryway asking that everyone coming in wear a mask. When I was ready to check out, the employee had to go get his mask before he rang me up. Again he was behind a deli counter, surrounded by food! I felt uncomfortable that the people responsible for handling food weren't taking all of the safety protocols that have been recommended by the government. (I admit that I don't keep up with all of the every changing laws, but right now we need to do what we can to protect each other.) I don't plan to go back to Ippolito's. read more

The sub sandwich was excellent! I got some lasagna to go, it was excellent too!¡!!!!!

The most ignorant business owners I've ever come across!! Last time we went there the lunch meat was spoiled thought we would give them another chance never again! Update First of all he wasn't picking his teeth he was chewing on a straw waiting for you to ring us up when you were so rude when we asked if you made the bread and you were very rude to your own help and told him don't tell them anything. It was very odd what went on in your store. I certainly will never come into to your store you don't need to ask me not to.As I said in my review we had bad lunch meat it was sopressata. It was brown and smelled terrible. Very expensive also. You are a crabby mean man and you should be ashamed of the way you treat customers. read more

Very Italian and helpful...it's a market that in earlier travels I had not known about but sure glad I found out.

Authentic Italian deli with great prepared meals to take home for later. I've tried the lasagna, stuffed peppers, Italian wedding soup, garlic pasta and deserts. So yummy! read more

Their homemade Italian sausage is delicious! Nice little Italian market, glad I found it!

This place came highly recommended so I just ordered an Italian Sub. First they pressed it without my asking. Took so long to get it I took it as is. Just got home and decided to cut a 2.5 inch section to taste it well as the picture shows there's no meat or cheese on the portion I cut off. I'm afraid to go and check the rest of the sandwich. Not "impressed"!! I just cut off another section of sub to try and it had meat in it!! Pressing a sandwich with lettuce, tomato and oil/vinegar was absolutely the wrong thing to do. Meat had no taste because it was overpowered by the soggy mess from the pressing. Tossed the whole thing in the garbage read more

Always delish-- always a great price. We eat here regularly. The freshly made deli sandwiches for $7.50 is unbeatable, 1/2 the price of other delis I'm grocery stores and even better! People leaving lame reviews about the layout of the store because they are confused are ridiculous. Foods great! Place is super clean! This lovely little family owned deli is fantastic. If you can't speak up and figure out your surroundings then you are the problem-- not the establishment. Tasty, fresh pastries. Tons of Italian grocery items. Highly recommended to all. read more

I must say not very friendly . I don't know what part of Italy they're from . I wouldn't step in that store again and it's in my neighborhood. Felice and mazzaros are the best Italian markets around her . Boar's head is not Italian meat lol read more

This place is simply outstanding / food is always fresh / staff is super friendly and by no means should you read the one bad review and think it has any merit whatsoever. Some people are simply nuts. read more

Once in a while I crave fresh high end Italian food ( and women) JK! When I have the urge I go to this little deli. Sandwiches, salads, pasta, to-go orders, eggplant dishes, whatever you craving its there and more. Everything is fresh and home made. Too many great items to mention, you need to stop by and visit. To add to the great shopping experience the owners and staff are very helpful and very nice. I love this place. read more

Homemade sausage, and pasta dishes to go. They can customize the sandwiches anyway you like. Always service with a smile. The ambiance is that of an old style Italian store with deli/sandwich counter. Whenever I'm in the area, I'll stop. Definitely recommend this place. read more

Bravissimo! Delizioso! Must have been my lucky day to find this deli. I'll be eating here all the time now. They even had the tri-colored cookies my grandmother used to make. read more

Ippolito Italian Deli - Caprese salad and Leaning Tower of Pisa sandwich. - Delis Near Me - Largo, Florida

Great place for a sammich. We also tried the fresh made sausage which was also very good grilled.

Ordered the Cheese Ziti and Chicken Alfredo for my sons wedding in June. The guests were raving over how delicious the pastas were. Living in Illinois, I had no idea what I would be getting. What a blessing to order blindly and knock it out of the ballpark! Thank you Ippolito! read more

I thought I'd never have good hot sausage after moving to Florida three ago. I've scoped out numerous stores only to end up with greasy tasteless sausage after cooking it. Not today! So not to be disappointed again, I bought two links. That was a mistake as the sausage was tasty, spicy, non-greasy and browned nicely. With sauteed onions, peppers and garlic served with this hot sausage, it was spectacular. I highly recommend it. I will buy the hot sausage again and look forward to trying their other products too. They have a deli and take-out food as well as bake goods, and a wide variety of Cento and Marconi products. Nice selection too of fresh and boxed pasta. Located in a tiny strip mall on Walsingham, there was ample free parking and it's an easy in/out. read more

Love this little Deli. When we make pizza we make a special trip for their homemade Italian sweet sausage. When not in the mood to make the crust we get their dough, which is excellent. It's also like a mini store with speciality items from tomato sauces, peppers, flour, pasta etc. Good selection of sandwiches, cookies, olives, artichoke hearts and many others which all looked delicious. Very friendly and enjoy shopping and browsing. A true hidden gem. read more

Got a cappuccino with lunch. Very good. Nice selection of sides, subs and typical Italian grocery.

I've got 3 words for ya! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE! Wish I took a photo, but devoured it way to quickly.

Seriously great little market that everyone told us about and we finally went and kick ourselves for not doing so earlier. I make homemade pizzas and they have the best sausage to cook on a wood fired pizza. They have sauces, meats, deli sandwiches and anything you could think of that you might need at a corner neighborhood Italian Market and I am sure even Mom. read more

Best Italian market in the area if your on lunch and want something simply delicious try any one of there cold or hot sandwiches. They also have an array of sides, pastas, spicy peppers/jardinera. If your looking for a home cooked Italian dinner the owner makes tons of meals ready to throw in the oven. My personal favorite is the chicken piccata how ever I have a hard time just getting one item so I usually get a lasagna or shrimp scampi to go with it and loaf of homemade garlic bread. Left overs are always nice, I love this place and the people who work here ambiance is great if you haven't been here you must go. read more
