Everything is incredibly reasonably priced, especially for the quality. I ordered the Italiano, and it was only $11 and packed with fresh ingredients and full of flavor. I was surprised there wasn't a line when we stopped by around 3:30 p.m. on a Saturday, which made it even better. If you're in the area and craving a great Italian sandwich, this spot is absolutely worth a visit. I'll definitely be back!

Thank you and God bless you, Savenor's for lasting so long, and most of all, Chef Julia Child who blessed us mere mortals with the Art of French Cooking! You were a pioneer and role model.

This is an interesting place,,, although my Sister was telling me we used to come here all the time for meat when I was younger. This is a butcher shop like on a wholesale level though, nothing fancy and they have a plethora of seasonings for said meat as well. Ethnic rice to purchase too! According to my big Sister the prices were competitive if not better than the local grocery markets.

I came for the much heralded Italian sandwich and it did not disappoint…read more Small, 2-room shop on Salem Street, right next to Bova's Bakery, good for Italian provisions and artful Italian sandwiches. As the name "Mercato" implies, it's not a restaurant, so no place to eat, no place to "do your business" after, and if you've made it to the north end, you already know there's no place to park. -- Italian Sandwich: Long, soft bread, kinda like the kind you had in your school cafeteria, only a million times softer, a million times more crackly, and a million times better. Setting the base are oil, balsamic vinegar, lettuce, tomato, pickles, hots, and provolone. Italian sandwiches usually come flat-stacked or in a C-shape. Here, it's a fluffy stack, with the VERY-thin-sliced-to-order meats-- prosciutto, mortadella, salami-- piled generously but delicately, like tissue paper. More oil and balsamic on the other side seals the deal. It's a glorious sandwich that'll fill you up with the first half, but you'll want to keep eating the second half, because it's so good. The deep flavors of the meats comes through, and that's soft, crunchy bread is a delight. Pro tip #1: Get it with a small side of pesto. Have some bites with, some bites without. Pro tip #2 (in more ways than one): Plan your restroom visit at the nearby Boston Public Market. Pro tip #3: Plan your eating near the Paul Revere statue on Hanover Street, at the basketball court down Stillman Street, or on the Greenway down Hanover Street.

I ended up with ribeye steaks to serve three. My wife warned me that they were expensive but in my opinion well worth it. I jumped online to see how to cook them and I ended up broiling them. This filled my house with smoke but again well worth the smoke alarm test. The owners of the market were very pleasant and nice to deal with. They cut the three ribeye steaks from a large piece of beef. They were very fresh and delicious. I will definitely be going back to purchase other items from this market. I think it is important to support local businesses like the Maplewood meat market. You just can't get quality food like this in a supermarket.
