This place is more like a grocery store, meat market, and deli. It has very good fresh bread. Just…read morea warning, if you are going to get a cold sandwich from the deli, the white/ Italian bread is so so so hard and crusty. And I'm not saying that's bad, but if you don't have great teeth, forget it. Again, the bread is delicious and the cheese and meats are top-notch. I had the Italian sub but needed to heat it up in the microwave to soften the bread a bit. The wait times are absolutely ridiculous. Today they told us they were to shorthanded 4 people behind the deli counter and the wait was 45+ minutes. Some of the items are very very overpriced. The sub was not. It was about 10 bucks for the Italian sub. We bought the mozzarella with the tomato for $9.99 a pound. It was absolutely flavorless! I understand the mozzarella is fresh made, but the tomato was rockhard and ridiculous. SO disappointing. We paid way too much for that. Try it but good luck on wait times. Parking in back is better than waiting for a spot in the front of the store off 41.

It's legit. The meatballs are killer. The fresh meats and cheeses are amazing. The number of…read morepeople that we heard that drove up from Naples to shop there was surprising. We saw a sign for a meatball stombolu stromboli but they were sold out. They made us a fresh hot meatball sandwich on fresh crusty bread and melted mozzarella. We devoured it outside before we went back in for Togo orders of huge squares of lasagna. I got some links of homemade sausage they cut from the sausagerope. . THEY RETIED THE ENDS. Amazing. Nobody does that anymore. Fennel sausage , wow. Then Pastries. So many. Canoli and neopolitan. I dont know how i missed this but Ill go back..again and again.

I'm hoping we were just there on an off night as we love this place. First off though the staff we…read moreencountered were truly friendly and helpful. The service was great as we were the only ones there at 6pm on a Thursday. The food was tasty but the pizza could have been cooked a little longer. The entree salad was big.

My coworker insisted that this is the best restaurant in all of the Naples metro, but for me that…read moredefinitely isn't the case. I am still going to give this restaurant 5 stars because I absolutely love the atmosphere. I could sit in the bar all night and listen to the pianist play songs. There are zero TV's at the bar and the pianist really makes for an enjoyable night. Up first, I had an $18 Ember in Bloom which consists of: Los Vecinos Mezcal, Aperol, Watermelon Juice, Lime, Salt & Lime Zest Rim. Served on the Rocks. I thought it was pretty good, and better than most. It at least had a moderately smoky taste. I think I'm just extreme on liking drinks smoky. Then, I had the $15 Caesar salad. It was pretty standard. Nothing spectacular or bad, just standard. I was pretty starved so I got 2 entrees: $24 Meatball & Mushroom Pizza: Meatball, Fonduta Sauce, Caramelized Onion, Mushroom, Mozzarella, Basil, Parmigiano-Reggiano $28 Pappardelle 'Capri': Handcut Pappardelle, San Marzano Tomato Sauce, Basil, Buffalo Mozzarella, Sorrento Lemon Olive Oil I thought the pizza was fine. Once again, very good, but nothing spectacular. And the same goes for the pasta. Maybe I ordered the wrong things, but I wasn't particularly blown away by the food here. Like I said, a cool place to come relax and listen to the pianist.

I wanted to make a separate mention of the special dish that I got... it was a miss. The dish was too busy. There was fish somewhere in there and capers and mushrooms and sun-dried tomatoes. Too many side pieces that it overtook the fish and risotto. I really wanted to like it.

Apulia Osteria is one of those wonderfully hidden gems tucked away in a little strip mall that…read morewould be so easy to drive straight past. It doesn't look like much from the outside, and the ambience inside could perhaps do with a little sprucing up, but don't let that fool you. The food is absolutely outstanding. Every dish we've tried has been beautifully prepared, full of flavour and authentically Italian. They also host fun wine evenings and special events, which add to the experience. A special mention to Annie, whose service was warm, friendly and attentive. She made us feel genuinely welcome from the moment we arrived. If you're in the Englewood area and looking for truly excellent Italian food, Apulia Osteria is well worth seeking out. We'll definitely be back.

We ordered the bead to share which comes with this pesto/feta dip and it's the star of the show, she also had pork and I had the bucatini. Both were absolutely delicious. They ended our meal with a limoncello shot was so cute and fun! All the little touches really made it a special visit.

I also sampled the cannoli and even though I'm not a cannoli person I must admit they were very tasty - delicate, fresh cookie and light ricotta filling.
