    Porketta Bout It
    Justin V.

    Based on my lone visit, Mercato di Grazia offers some of the best sandwiches in the area. I can't believe we have this spot in Norfolk - I honestly thought that I was in an NYC deli the moment I bit into my sandwich. Mercato took over the suite that previously housed Urban Ice (which I never had a chance to try). They're 1.5 floors of awesomeness (the second floor is essentially a balcony with roughly six 2-tops) - their main floor is full of items that appear to be imported directly from Italy. I noticed they have homemade pasta (I need to take some home!), something that is very welcome, and there are plenty of other food items you can pick up to use/cook at home. When I arrived on the morning of 2/21, Mercato wasn't busy. There were about 3 or 4 customers browsing while one was at the register to order a sandwich. His transaction was completed quickly - before I knew it, it was my turn. I ordered the Porketta Bout It (shaved herb porchetta, sliced brie, marinated broccoli rabe, sweet brined red onions, hot honey) and a bottled Coke. After ordering and paying, I took a seat and waited for my food. My hero was ready in no time - the cashier called my name and gave it to me. I opened it up to find the most amazing looking sandwich. Not only did it look great, it was delicious. I devoured my food and kept nodding my head with glowing approval. The manager on duty noticed me and jokingly said, "I see you nodding," to which I replied, "This may be the best sandwich I've ever had." She smiled and came back with, "That's what I love to hear." Mercato puts some work into their ingredients, and their customers benefit with a delightful hero like the Porketta Bout It. Before I forget, their venue was clean and organized, but you can tell that it can get tight in there with a whole bunch of customers. But they deserve to have everyone in there because their food, and this experience, was amazing. If you haven't been to Downtown Norfolk in a bit, Mercato di Grazia is every bit worth the trip. I will return as soon as possible to try out their other heroes, their grinders and their pinsa (pizza). Thank you, Mercato di Grazia! JV

    If you want a sandwich that is made with bread made in house, quality meat and cheese AND yummy olive oil, then this is the spot for it!! I saw their posts popping up on my social media page, so I had to check out what the hype was. They are in the heart of Granby street, so parking is a bit a challenge but you can park at the TCC parking garage since they are just right around the corner. They're an Italian shop that sales everything authentic Italian from noodles, wine, olive oil, vinegars, desserts, pizza, sandwiches, and so much more in this quaint shop. It is a little pricey but it's about quality. The star for me was they sell gluten free pasta! And I had their sandwiches and the bread did not give me any trouble to my gluten sensitive stomach. I think I found my spot for a good sandwich! The bread was soft but still had a chew, can't explain it but it's yum. I'll be returning soon, like today! So hope you can check them out soon too!

    First time here!! I've been seriously too lazy to drive because of traffic but, I'm so glad I did. I was greeted with a smile which made me even happier to order. The low light in the deli/restaurant made it so cozy. There's a variety of pasta, cooked and uncooked available for sale. Along with other produce and deli meat. I took my sandwich to-go although, there is a little dining area in the back. I ordered the "americaghn" which came on a sesame seed roll. Everything is so fresh down to the bread and yummy buttery olive oil on the bread. I can't wait to return! Thank you.

    Small seating area. Big crowd on the weekend. No substitutions. What you see on the menu is what you get. You also get a FANTASTIC TASTING SUB. It was so good. The flavors melted perfectly together. No kids menu. You might need to take some home! The oil is perfect! Pizzas as well. Expensive but it's an Italian deli! Chips, beer, sodas.... Nice staff. A+

    We stopped by Mercato Di Grazia by Chef Antonio Caruana located at 245 Granby Street in the heart of Norfolk for their Holiday Open House yesterday. Chef was there passing out samples of his signature sauces including the Marinara, Puttanesca and the spicy Arrabbita. They are all very tasty in their own unique way. These signature sauces are jar, pan, plate, and it's unnecessary to add anything to them. If you pick up some of your favorite pasta, you will look like a culinary Master Chef when you make them for dinner. We love their Mezze Maniche which is made fresh in house and dried for easy storage. Please follow the cooking instructions for a perfect al dente pasta every time! While you're there consider trying one of their amazing sandwiches. We split the Porchetta Bout It which consists of razor thin, herb Porketta, sliced brie, marinated broccoli rabe, sweet brined red onions and topped with Hot Honey. This is a big sandwich and certainly enough to share or you can also take the other half home for later. If you love authentic Italian cuisine that you can make at home without the hassle, check out this wonderful Italian Market, you'll be glad you did and you can rest assured that you are supporting our local business community! E ora si mangia (And now we eat!)

    Awesome Italian market/sandwich shop by Grampy Street. The owner is the same owner of Luce. I did get my order wrong. The first time I went here because the other person has the same name as me and they gave him that one instead. But nonetheless, I got their signature sandwich which was fantastic. I did not realize you could put broccoli in a sandwich and still taste great! If you are hungry, you can definitely destroy one of these sandwiches and be very full. Lots of homemade pasta that you can cook in your home. They also have imported Italian products there.

    Great Italian deli! Great sandwiches for lunch. Grabbed some sausages for sausages and peppers for dinner that evening. Happy tummy all in one day!

    Went into the store just to check it out and was pleased to see a selection of various items of grocery staples for sale. The employees are extremely friendly, helpful and personable. I was able to meet the owner and he was a very nice man. I ordered my husband a sandwich since he is always on the lookout for "the" Italian sandwich. I brought it home and he was literally moaning with delight while eating it. Stopping by and getting sandwiches is now my every other Thursday routine on the way home. The bread is fantastic, the meats and cheeses are fresh and high quality. The toppings are top notch! Please make it a point to try this place, you will not be disappointed with the food or the customer service.!

    As always, I am greeted with a smile. I absolutely love this place. Great Food. Staff are friendly…read moreand helpful. This is the place I go to and continue to return to for a cheesesteak. I highly recommend.

    My brother and I were in town for an event and decided to find something to eat after dropping off…read morepeople at the airport. We knew we needed something quick, but good. So we pulled up yelp and found fat Phillies. This is what I would call a classic Bodega/hood joint (They have all the flavors of Rap Snacks) that does a great job of serving up a good variety of sandwiches and sides at an affordable price. Now this establishment is housed inside of a convenient store in a strip mall that also has a Chinese food place and a couple of other establishments. This is a typical convenient store with groceries drinks and a couple of casino machines at the other end of the building. We pulled up to the counter as they were shutting down, so unfortunately, the wings weren't available. So we decided to go with the standard Philly cheesesteak, and fries. Sandwiches were ready in about 10 minutes and they were cooked to order. Both of us were very satisfied with the sandwiches. Mine did have a little bit of grissel and tougher meat, but not necessarily something I didn't expect given the price. Overall, this is definitely a place I would likely stop through every now and then just to grab some sandwiches and other items that I can't find in a Whole Foods.

    I was calling around a few days before New Year's, looking for a fresh turkey. Country Butcher was…read morethe only place that had one. Grabbed a 15 lb turkey for our family dinner. Shop is clean and nice, guy working behind the counter was a gentleman. Turkey was absolutely delicious, didn't need anything other than salt and some time in the oven! Everyone loved it!

    I don't usually write reviews like this, but what happened today deserves to be called out…read more I placed an order for 40 pounds of chicken leg quarters for a family Easter gathering--something that requires planning, coordination, and trust. Yesterday, I even called ahead to confirm hours and made it clear I would be picking up my order today. When I arrived, I was met with complete incompetence. My order was scribbled on a yellow Post-it note--already a red flag--and they had written the wrong date (Monday the 7th). Because of their mistake, they had sold out of chicken and had nothing to give me. No backup plan. No accountability. Nothing. So now, on a major holiday weekend, I'm left scrambling to replace 40 pounds of meat for my family. It gets worse. After leaving, I called and spoke with the owner. I expected at least a basic apology or some attempt to make things right. Instead, I got smug indifference. No ownership, no urgency, no concern. His "solution"? Offer me whole chickens cut into quarters at nearly THREE TIMES the price. That's not a solution--that's taking advantage of your own mistake. When I asked how something like this even happens, his response was essentially: "Well, I guess they wrote it down wrong." That was it. No apology. No effort to fix it. Just a shrug wrapped in arrogance. This wasn't a minor inconvenience--this was a complete failure in customer service, communication, and basic professionalism. If you're trusting this business with an important order, don't. They've shown exactly how little they value their customers when it actually matters. I won't be back.

    Awesome Deli and Diner with a large menu of offerings, perfectly located next to some great store!…read moreThe restaurant was clean and welcoming with nods to its heritage and roots. I got the hotdogs because they looked so good, and I was not disappointed! A large glob of cheese rested upon a perfectly flavored chili. My friend got a large deli sandwich with buttery grilled toast and homemade pickles. To end we split a piece of their in house cheesecake- it was decadent! On the way out the owner, who happens to be the mom of George and Sam spoke to us about her passion for the cuisine and pride in her food! She was very kind and excited about the business. All wait staff was equally attentive and happy to serve. We will definitely be back!

    This is a local jewel! It was previously called route 58, but it was rebranded in August, 2024…read more Same family/owners, same great food. Im a Reuben-head, and im always looking for a remarkable one. When I find one that checks off all my boxes ( texture/flavor of the rye, tenderness and flavor of the corned beef snd pastrami, texture and taste of the kraut, creaminess of the swiss, taste and texture of the horseradish, Russian, mustard condiments), and yes, especially the pickles, Im in heaven! This was one of the best! My sister got the breakfast platter and everything was hot, fresh, and flavorful. The sausage was REAL sausage, and those sweet cream pancakes were to die for. The place is clean, great customer service, smd plenty of parking The owner made sure to acknowledge us and thanked us for our patronage, which i appreciated. This will be one of my stops whenever I come to visit Va Beach from now on.

    While driving through the area I stopped in here for lunch. I came here after reading many…read morepositive reviews and then checking out their menu and I knew they were a fun and interesting place for lunch. I chose the Becca Burger, without mushrooms and their Steak Diablo Fries. They make everything fresh, to order with fresh ingredients. The burger was clearly freshly hand-packed, the jalapeños were freshly sliced, not pickled. Since they make it all fresh, you might wait a few minutes longer than the typical burger joint, but that's fine considering the amazing eats you're about to enjoy. My burger came out looking beautiful and it was definitely sitting tall! The flavor was excellent! Meat was great too!! I definitely liked having their chipotle mayo on it!! Those steak Diablo fries were incredibly tasty, with a nice kick, but sooo much more flavor than heat! The fries themselves were great, perfectly crispy and tasty, but adding all those toppings truly made it special! Service was nice... I had a few questions and she was helpful with the answers. Lastly, they have birch beer here, which I loved! Highly recommend stopping in for a great burger and fries experience!!

    Salmich's is one of my favorites to have when going to Norfolk!…read more The chicken and sausage and steak hoagies were pretty tasty as well as the onion rings! Poutine wasn't my favorite though. Quick service and was able to get a fairly large order within 30 minutes before closing!
