    Mangia! Never would have expected to find such a great Italian deli here in Florida. Counter…read moreservice was so polite. Table delivery came as items were finished. Lasagna portions could definitely serve 2 for lunch. Garlic knots were some of the best I've had- you're going to want more than the 1 served with your entree. Flatbread pizza was tasty. Very thinly sliced eggplant for the parm: kudos! Breading was thin but held up nicely to the sauce. Sauce flavor is bright and tastes just crushed. Only observation is that a little bit of olive oil and garlic with extended cooking time would produce a deeper flavor but to each his own. We fo enjoyed our lunch: worth jumping off the highway.

    I do not understand all the good reviews here. I wanted to like it, local place vs a chain, but…read morejust can't recommend. I expected to walk into the scent of marinara, herbs and garlic wafting through the air but no real Italian restaurant vibe going on. Pasta is overcooked (soft). Marinara has no flavor and a little watery. Salad looked better than it tasted with blah olives fresh from a can where they were soaked in water. Lady at the counter wore the same pair of gloves doing numerous activities over the course of 45 minutes. Other employees sat around a table staring at their phones looking totally checked out while chairs were left out in the way, random leftover Napkins were on tables and dirty dishes stacked up at the return station. Not worth it.

    We've heard about Empire for a while but hadn't managed to get there during the morning hours…read more We woke up this morning with a craving for a solid bagel sandwich and took the drive up to Thomasville for what is undoubtably, one of the best breakfast sandwiches we've ever eaten. The line upon arrival was at least 15 to 20 deep, but it moved so quickly. If you arrive to a wait, do not let it deter you. They hustle!!! It was just a short wait for our food to be freshly prepared. We both opted for the same sandwich with different bagel flavors. The sesame bagel was absolutely loaded with sesame seeds. There's nothing worse than a bagel that claims to be a "sesame" bagel that only has a sad smattering of seeds across one side. This bagel was absolutely loaded up. Crispy on the outside, soft and tender on the inside, loaded with a huge portion of scrambled egg , this breakfast sandwich was enough for two people to share, but we did not! I would literally drive up to Thomasville from Tallahassee again just for the sandwich. You cannot beat their price point. This breakfast would be twice as much in Tallahassee as it is at Empire. Empire has a quaint, local NY bagel shop vibe. You can order bagels for the office or just a sack to take home. The assorted smears have something for everyone, with Canoli flavor being a bonus for your sweet tooth. I'm already planning a lunch trip in the near future.

    This is as close as you can get to a New York bagel experience! The owners are even from New York!…read moreService is friendly and orders are consistent. They make their own bagels fresh daily and have many delicious shmears to choose from. The 'Brunchwrap' is my absolute favorite but I always recommend checking out the specials board, you can't go wrong! The 'Billyburg' grilled cheese is my favorite lunch choice along with the pasta salad. You won't be disappointed with this sweet but spicy spin on a classic grilled cheese. We like to sit outside and watch the locals. Its a laid back kind of vibe on the bricks downtown.
