But let me tell you about the food! Oh mygahhhhhhhhhhh! I had the Monica sandwich, my friend had The piggy sandwich, we mentioned we love meatballs, but hmmm, how are they? and the sweet waitress said how amazing they are just try one & the owner insisted we not share one and brought out two... I WILL be having that meatball sub soon! Yummmm! Then Robby (I believe that's his name), the owner, got sneaky and brought us both a mini cannoli! Holy cannoli! How can a cannoli be crunchy and creamy and light at the same time? idk but it was! This place also has items you can buy all from Italy! Pastas, sauces, etc. the coffee, beer and wine bar looked enticing too. But since I was on my business lunch break I had to pass. But... i will be taking the hubby and/or family there for dinner. They have pasta dishes that I know I Neeeed In my life! They had gelato toooo! I gotta go back! Soon!

Drive down for a 2nd go - I live about 30 minutes north of Brandon - totally worth the drive. Thought tonight, I'll get Luca Brasi. Jeeez Louise - SO GOOD. That horseradish hits on another level! Employees are super welcoming and helpful. Chill, hole-in-the-wall, locals-vibe with authentic Italian decor. Will def make the drive again. Skip all the other Brandon crappy chains. This is THE SPOT.

Keep in mind at least 2 carts could fit side by side in the space between the 2 vehicles in the handicapped spots. I don't have any other review of the place because I was not allowed to shop.

Only place nearby to get lions maine. I be alot happier is more stores carried these. Best beef replacement out there. Not kidding, can pan roast it like a steak n it tastes the same. Also great to dehydrate n sprinkle over stuff. I love their monthly and seasonal produce. Tend to have exotic and new kinds of veggies n fruits. I pull the trigger and decided to try the sprouts brand vegan protein shake. Its yellow pea base. The one i had yesterday was the vanilla one but went with the big tub of non flavor. I cannot find whey in non flavored anywhere so this was a great find. I need the extra protein to boost my Keto snacks up. Like im loosing weight in a healthy window but i am feeling the missing addition of protein. This will make my keto pizza, almond cookies and breads get what they are lacking. Might even sprinkle over my kale chips or blend it into my peanut butter. Amp that bad boy up! Madam up front recommended i register into the member program. Saved me -$10 pn the protein powder. Im so happy! I also gound a massive salad for $13 bucks. Its like big enough for 2-3 people!

Several people have told me how delicious the fried chicken is, but I didn't believe them. I went today at 10:30 in the morning. This fried chicken is absolutely delicious. I ordered one chicken thigh and let me tell you, it was juicy, it's crispy yet flaky, and had an excellent flavor throughout! By far and hands-down, Publix has best "store bought" fried chicken that I have ever experienced. In fact it stands up as a contender to any other establishment out there. It's just, a really good well done fried chicken.

From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm smile and friendly welcome from the owner. The store was very clean, organized, and well laid out, with a great selection of Middle Eastern foods, spices, condiments, meats, fresh produce, and more. There's also a fresh meat section in the back. I purchased a whole chicken and asked the butcher if he could cut it up for me, and he gladly did--excellent service! Then I discovered the restaurant in the back. The menu looked so good that I couldn't leave without trying something. I ordered a family-style platter to take home, and it was a HIT. For $48, we received three different meats, rice, beautifully grilled vegetables, homemade hummus, pita, and sauce. Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and delicious. The best part? The platter was more than enough to feed my family of five. For the quality, quantity, and price, you really can't beat it. Great food, great service, a clean market, and excellent value. I will definitely be back!

Good quality produce!…read more Have visited this location for years and can't express enough the importance of consistency. They have always delivered and makes me confident to recommend them to my family and friends. Whether you need some grocery items or a lunch/dinner plate, they have something for everyone. We recently had a housewarming party and used RFM for our food options. Our guests were thoroughly impressed by the food and the quality. Everyone HAD to know where we got the food from. One guest even said the pepper steak reminded her of her grandmothers when she was growing up. What a compliment! The service is good as well. It is definitely a predominantly Spanish speaking location but as a non-Spanish speaker, we've had no issues getting in our orders or interacting with the staff. Sundays are usually the most packed in my opinion, but it's mostly for those who are looking to grab a meal. They have multiple registers open at the same time to check out is usually pretty fast. Very well-lit inside, no crazy odors and lots to choose from.

On this day we ordered a Ropa Vieja Plate, Spaghetti and meatballs and Acapurria. Ropa Vieja- 4/5- The meat was tasty and tender, the yellow rice was a bit stale and the sweet plantains were perfectly fried. Tip: I was able to fix the rice by putting it in a bowl and adding a little water to it and then covering with a paper towel. This softened it up. Spaghetti and Meatballs- 4/5- The small size was perfect for my son but it contained peppers inside. He was not a fan. I thought it was good but if you don't like peppers in your food maybe stay clear of this one. Acapurria- 4/5- I received it cold as if it has been sitting out. The other items I ordered were hot upon arrival so this too should have been hot. It was tasty and greasy as you can tell from the bag in the picture.
