    Very good sandwich. Had the Bear, very well seasoned, aïoli was fantastic, and the bread was brought it together. lol will be going back to try more.

    Madrid

    I have visited here a handful of times now and I cannot express how much I adore this place. For starters, the employees are the most friendly and welcoming we may have on the Gulf Coast. Everyone makes you feel at home and they're all happy to help with questions about the menu. The sandwiches are divine. On my most recent visit I had the Madrid. Jamón ibérico is such a special treat and the sandwich was absolute perfection. They have a wide variety of chips and sodas that you've probably never seen before. There is so much to choose from. My plan, and my recommendation to you, is to keep coming back until you've tried it all. This place is truly that special. They're open during the lunch hour and they have table seating and seats at the window. You can also order takeout which is super convenient. Prices may seem high for a sandwich place but honestly this is MORE than a sandwich place. You can't find ingredients like this anywhere else on the Gulf Coast. Trust me, the quality is so worth it!

    This is the "Porchetta" sandwich and it's by far the best sandwhich I've ever had in my life!

    This porchetta sandwich was absolutely delicious, the flavor was SO GOOD! Highly recommend. I already can't wait to go back for another.

    10 out of 10!! The food, the service, the owner it's all top notch! I've never had a better sandwich. The owner came out and explained the menu in detail with such passion that it made it hard to decide what to order!

    The Sicily
    Mary M.

    One of my co-workers favorite place. I didn't go but I ordered the Sicily to go! Big sandwich! Loved the meats, cheese and veggies on here! Really good sandwich. It didn't take them long to order, eat and get back here! They love to eat there and I can't wait to go either! If the ambiance is as good as the sandwich this is a winner!!! It's located on Highway 49 so parking is limited but I'm sure there is nearby spots available. I would definitely eat there again! Cheers

    TAVI's desert flight, Reuben sandwich and charcuterie board.
    Dr. Lynn S.

    Absolutely fabulous!!! The owner said his Reuben is second to none, and I tend to agree! I also ordered the charcuterie board (to go) and it is not just plopped in a styrofoam container, it comes on a lovely board with everything you need for social gathering (as displayed in picture below). And those deserts! Just and a whole lot of yummy! Can't wait to go back and try the homemade sangria!!!

    My friend and I decided to try a new place in Gulfport after reading the reviews. We walked in and we're greeted by the most inviting gentlemen with one of the nicest smiles of seen upon entering an establishment He asked if it was her first time and indeed it was. He introduced himself as Tavi the owner. How fortunate for us! He walked us over to the display menu and explained each and every item as my mouth watered. We were told that all his products come from Spain, Italy, Portugal, Greece, Germany, etc., etc. very authentic. The atmosphere is very open and light. I can tell it won't be this way for very long as I could see as soon as this place catches on they'll be a waiting line outside. Several times, Mr. Tavi came to our table to chat and answer questions that I had. He never once seemed, rushed or irritated at my incessant questioning. Again so much knowledge about his food selections and origins. He has a wonderful beer selection, and oh my gosh, the chip selection is incredible I ordered the Rome and I forget what my friend ordered but both were equal equally delicious After finishing our meal, I walked over to the display case where some cheese and chorizo sausage, various olive selections were displayed.

    Great sandwiches. Fabulous place to stop in whether you are a local or traveling through. Tavi is a great guy too.

    Authentic and amazing! This shop has taken on a whole new level of the most beloved Italian sandwiches. The owner has put so much attention to the little things that make dining really special. He greets every customer and spends time introducing you to his very well curated menu. All of his meats, cheeses, and breads are sourced from their original European birthplace, and he makes the rest himself. He oversees and checks every meal and then follows up with the customer. The sandwiches we ordered were amazing, and I cant wait to return to try every single one! Pair your charcuterie or sandwich with chips from France, a European brew, or soda. Love this place! Gordon Ramsey would definitely approve!

    Tavi shared some samples. Incredibly good!
    Diann C.

    We came here once and it was so authentic and delicious we came back 4 days later. It's a nice, open and airy spot in DT Gulfport with great artwork. The first time we were there we were greeted by the owner Tavi. He thoroughly described the menu to us and I decided on the Porchetta and he had the Sicily. The 2nd time we both had the Tuscany. All fantastic. And authentic it is - they source their breads, chips, and many of their drinks from Italy. The staff at the counter are so sweet!

    Tavi's new spot in downtown Gulfport is a must try! We went for lunch and it was a good experience. Everything was fresh, tasty and packed full of flavor. My sandwich was Valtelinna and I would get this again (sandwich was served toasted and warm) yum! I also loved all the variety of chips that are not commonly found at the grocery store - Our tiramisu (from Italy) was wonderful! We asked the cashier if they made the baked goodies in house but they said it was from Italy! So that's cool. Overall ya can tell this is an upscale sandwich place and its quality. Ambiance is great, new and clean.

    HIGHLY RECOMMEND !! We are blown away at how amazing this Italian deli is right here in downtown Gulfport-- how have we never heard of this place?! -- we were welcomed in at the door by the owner, Octavio, exerything they offer is made fresh and all ingredients imported from Italy- upscale but feels light and laid back. The flavors and authenticity are unmatched in this area ! Just Amazing! Yall gotta try it!

    Stopped by Mangiamo on Cowan-Lorraine with Patty today, but we ended up leaving and heading to…read moreOlive Garden. Unfortunately, the experience at Mangiamo was very disappointing. From what we observed, there appeared to be only two employees trying to do everything--seat guests, take orders, wait tables, and manage other responsibilities. The restaurant seemed clearly understaffed, and while those employees appeared to be doing the best they could, there was very little communication or engagement with customers. It took 10 minutes just to be acknowledged and seated despite no one waiting, followed by another 10 minutes before a table was ready. Once seated, it took another 5-6 minutes to receive water, and after that we simply sat waiting, and waiting, and waiting. We noticed other customers experiencing similar delays, and after receiving little attention or explanation, we decided to leave. No one even came over to ask why. Hopefully this was just an off day for Mangiamo, because good food alone is not enough. Customer service, communication, and proper staffing matter. A simple acknowledgment or an honest explanation goes a long way. Management should ensure they have the resources and oversight necessary to provide the experience customers expect, because first impressions and service are every bit as important as the food.

    A locally-owned gem with Southern hospitality and delicious Italian food…read more Having been a fan of this restaurant a few years back, I was excited to try it again after recently moving back to the area. After a couple of unsuccessful attempts to visit on a Sunday (they're closed!), I finally made it on a Tuesday evening. I was promptly greeted and seated by the friendly host right as they opened at 5 p.m. Our waitress was welcoming and took our appetizer order right after our drinks. We were debating between the mozzarella sticks and calamari, and she recommended the trio, which included both, plus fried zucchini - a great suggestion! Soon after our appetizer arrived, the owner and chef came to our table to introduce himself and check on our food. It was a nice, personal touch that you don't see very often. While the service was a little on the slower side, it was clear that the small but mighty staff was attentive and making their rounds to all the tables. For our main course, we ordered the chicken parmesan, which was a generous portion, easily shareable for two, and came with a side salad. It was yummy. This restaurant has a certain charm with its combination of Southern hospitality and Italian cuisine. I would recommend it based on my experience. They also have some weekly specials (unsure for how long) : -Wednesday Family Night: Large 3-topping pizza for $11.99 -Thursday Date Night: The $5 corkage fee for BYOB is waived, and they offer a "share a bowl" upgrade for $5.99 (usually $9.99), which gives you two servings of protein instead of one. Overall, a wonderful dining experience that I'm happy to recommend.
