In Season, Saturday, March 21, 2026 - Two for take out lunch for the beach…read more My wife has been bragging about these folks for months so we thought to stop in and see how they are for a few sandwiches?! VERY GOOD is the short answer! My wife got the Polo Toscano - grilled chicken on an awesome sourdough bread that I believe comes in from New Jersey? She decided to take a little bite in their roomy parking lot!!!! AND the result was we did not make it over KMI/Hatchett Creek Bridge heading to Nokomis Beach..... I got the "stump"/end of the bread with a little bit of chicken / cheese etc. So will have to go by her assessment. 9/10 I got the Lukie - portabella, asparagus, zucchini, roasted red pepper cheese (provolone and they let me try a piece before they made the sandwich!!! WOW that is no Dietz & Watson or Publix brand cheese - right out of the Italian market in NY or Philly!!) They put balsamic and oil on and the veggies were sauté etc. And there in was the only issue. Flavor and ALL ingredients were great....... but the sourdough bread was a soggy sponge by the time I cracked it open on the beach about 30 minutes later. The vinegar, the liquids from the sauté, the oils and etc. I WILL be going back for this exact thing next time, BUT will get it "dry" or dressing on the side. I picked it apart and threw well over 1/2 the roll in the trash. 5/10 Really good first visit for me and EASY PEASY fix so check back on my update...... OR go there yourself and find out how great they are! I spoke to a few friends and the overwhelming feedback was very good food and selection....but prices are a bit high for a deli/takeout.

Wow, wasn't expecting an authentic Italian deli around here, but here we are. From the braciole, to…read morethe porchetta, to the crazy aged provolone, and don't forget the sfoglietele.... And the sandwiches, yes. Four stars, would be five with good rolls. Theirs are way way too chewy for anything but wet pork or beef. And let me add, the waitstaff is topnotch attentive.

Papa's is a Venice treasure! It was with the previous owner and will continue to be with Pedro, the…read morenew owner. Papa's carries cuts of meat that are relatively unavailable at big markets, like Petite Tenders, which are like a small tenderloin and a perfect size for dinner for 2. They also carry Tri Tip, which is a cut you will not easily find in Florida. We just cooked one with a Santa Ynez bbq sauce as the marinade and a puréed amount saved for use as a topping. It melts in your mouth! Papa's also has a great collection of prepared foods in small and larger containers that are like homemade...because they are! Stop by and check out the store. You'll find something you like!

(Mind you it does say hamburger so that was our fault). My Reuben was delicious. I am a picky Reuben eater, the marble rye was butter/flat top toasted (a nice crunch) with fresh corned beef, Swiss, dressing and I enjoyed the pickle on it. The right amount of everything. Our server was polite, and on top of everything. We suck and didn't catch his name (our fault not his), younger guy with a bald head, Monday lunch closer. Thanks for taking care of us and 3 little kids. The closing host was also awesome noticing that my kids loved the wiki stix and gave us more to take home. Thanks

Beautiful place. When you walk in it feels like you are going to have the most amazing meal ever…read more We both selected the PAM breakfast. One was ordered as is and it was rated 7 out of 10. OUCH The other PAM was modified and I rated this one the same. Another OUCH I wanted so much to love this place but when you're eating your meal and thinking my OJ at home is sooo much better than this one. I wonder how long this bacon has been sitting around because it's dry and tough? THAT's NOT GOOD. Food should taste fresh as though it was just made, FOR ME. This food was not. It lacked flavor was not very warm and again did not express freshness. Bagel was also just okay. No where near a New York Bagel. Overall for a restaurant to be memorable each individual item has to be the best. This results in a total amazing meal. This meal unfortunately was not amazing just Okay. What was good? Glad you asked. Coffee was warm & tasted good. Extra points for providing real cream on the side. Love that! It's a great touch! The cream cheese was excellent. Service was also good. I think this place has great potential but definitely needs a new chef with more upscale, fresh ideas.

The cashier was so kind and let my toddler pick out a free lollipop. The medovik (honey cake) here was supreme! It was perfectly moist and didn't have an old fridge smell (sometimes other medoviks I've had from deli shops taste like the air, fridge or deli meats they are next to). Their fresh cakes looked so scrumptious. I also got some baked kefir drink here. The store is very organized and clean. They had a lot of deli meat options. The bad: It's bad that I can't find a similar place with medovik like theirs closer to me! The interesting: They sold a lot of Easter related things like Easter bread.
