    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.

    "the Sicilian"
    Carrie C.

    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!

We went on day that unfortunately was raining; so we time it out when the rain stopped or slowed down. It is nice little restaurant. They mainly offer takeout only. They do have dine in sorta. Is not an inside but a few picnic tables with a cover. The cover is not big enough to block the rain. They have plenty of parking. It is located in small shopping center. As we arrived and walked up. The smell of something delicious brewing! They unfortunately just only accept cash. The menu is conveniently posted on the wall and very easy to read. We just had few people in front of us. I opted for the fried oyster and fried fish (swai) platter. We had to get a shrimp poboy. They are well known for their sandwiches. We also got an order of onion rings and Shrimp Lo Mein. She said our order will take a while. She gave us a buzzer. She advised us we will buzz you when it is ready. We waited in our vehicle. As we paid for it. Just happened a crowd of people showed up. It actually did not take that long to cook. On the way home the smell of deliciousness filled the air. The oyster and fish platter looked amazing and tasty. It came with a small cup of potato salad, roll, cocktail sauce and tartar sauce, hush puppies and a generous amount of crinkle cut fries. The shrimp poboy was large with plenty of large shrimp. It came fully dressed (mayo, lettuce, tomatoes, and pickles) Large order of onion rings. Order of Shrimp Lo Mein. Very tasty! All were so delicious and amazing! Besides the weather. Recommend making this your next takeout meal.

    I was in the mood for something casual. Almost forgot about this place. A person who I ran into…read more"check this place out". Wait, I been there! Just not recently tho. So, all the sudden got a craving for it. This is at Beach View Casino off highway 90 near downtown Gulfport. One thing I love about this place. The southern casino is smoke free as the one north side is smoking. Both are adjoining by a crosswalk above the highway. So you need not worry about traffic or the weather. This has plenty of parking in the front. Do not be discouraged by when you go and the parking lot is full. They do offer parking garage nearby on the Southeast or the parking garage and parking lot on the North side. They do offer valet service on the North end for sure. I was not able to confirm valet service for Beach View tho. Just have to walk on over via crosswalk to Beach View instead of Island View on the North side. As you walk up to the front. You are greeted by a friendly staff and security that will guide you to the escalator or elevator to the second floor of the hotel and casino. When you arrive. The casino opens up to various restaurants, casino floor, live entertainment above the bar depending on what day you attend, and the hotel lobby is not far. If you are not familiar with the area. The friendly staff will guide you through. I know it can be overwhelming. Especially with the many cafes, restaurants, and bars. This particular restaurant was in the second floor past the hotel lobby. We were quickly greeted by an amazing staff and the hostess was able to grab a table for us. This is a casual dining experience. Easy access for the disabled. The tables are arranged by booth and chairs combination against the wall and regular tables and chairs in the middle. In my opinion, I do recommend going for a regular table with chairs. The booth combo is interesting setup. Booth seats against the wall has padding on both bottom and back for you. As for the seats are just hardwood with no padding. I did not sit in those personally but noticed a lot of people were asking for a regular table. She was able to sit us in a regular table and chairs. It is no couch, very comfortable, but boasts plenty of padding on top and bottom for your dining experience. Amanda was our server. She was the best! She quickly took our drinks order and asked if we like to start off with something delicious. We told her it has been a while and quickly noticed they offered a daily special. We told her we were on the wrong day. Oops Kidding aside, all looks great and overwhelming. She was able to point out a few dishes and what she was able to accommodate our unique food requests. It was Thursday, so I got the daily special of Blacken Chicken Strips over vegetables. With a choice of gumbo or salad. I opted for the delicious seafood gumbo. We also ordered the shrimp poboy. She asked if we liked it dressed(lettuce, tomatoes, pickles and mayonnaise) ? Also comes with a side of fries. We both washed it down with a some fresh brewed sweet tea. Amanda asked if we like something from the bar. We asked if they would be available as virgin. Unfortunately they were not. Drink responsibly. If you are feeling under the weather. They will see if they have any available rooms or gladly offer to get a ride. She also mentioned that the daily specials will change time to time. So they may not be the same when you return. They were able to bring out the seafood gumbo first. It was delicious and but temperature hot. It did have a little bit of a kick. But not too overpowering. If you want more spice in your life. They offer hot sauce and black pepper at the table for your convenience. However, they provided a small amount of oyster crackers. Amanda mentioned that if I needed more, just ask. They brought out the main course. Let me just say, look fabulous! Definitely tell it was fresh from the kitchen. You can still see the steam from it and smell the amazing food as they brought it to the table. The food was delicious. The blacken chicken was very flavorful and you can definitely taste the spices they used. The shrimp they used for the shrimp poboy was wonderful size. I was not expecting that. Honestly, I thought it would be smaller. That's a good thing. I am glad. No Wi-Fi in the restaurant as you can easily connect to the casino free WiFi. They do not offer a military discount. However, you maybe able to receive discount or promotion with your players? Give they a chance or come back to get reacquainted with this amazing restaurant.

I usually get a combo of a sandwich and soup or salad, and they now offer a trio option if you want some of each. In addition they have sides and desserts like cake slices or their amazing peanut butter rice crispy treats. They also offer pizzas with various toppings. My two favorites are the Newk's Club or the Turkey Avocado. Everything is made to order and you can see it all done right behind the counter, then they will bring it out to you. I appreciate that the soups are lower in calories, as are most of the salads. I really like the veggies that go in the greek salad, too. Newk's also has some of the best homemade pimento cheese and chicken salad around. Neither are like what you'd normally find at a grocery store. We've often bought containers of these to go so we can take home to enjoy. My only complaint is that you'll come out of there smelling like a toaster because of the bread smell.

You can go to Newk's, Subway (two locations), McAlister's, Jimmy John's, or FireHouse Subs. With that much competition nearby, you'd think they would make more of an effort when it comes to customer service. I had a really strange experience here about a year ago when I walked into an empty store and was completely ignored by the people behind the counter for a couple of minutes. Eventually one of them grumbled something about only doing online orders and then went back to what they were doing. I walked out and saw an easy-to-miss sloppily hand written sign taped to one of the windows that said "Online Orders Only" because apparently they had some kind of system issues. They were so rude and dismissive about it that I swore not to go back, and I didn't until this past week. We were having a team meeting that was running over into lunchtime so we decided to DoorDash an order. Seven sandwiches plus drinks and sides totaling about $150. The food came pretty quickly but only because it was so hastily thrown together without any regard to the customer. Nothing in our order was labeled. We could tell the hot and cold stuff apart, obviously, but otherwise we had to open each sandwich and pass them back and forth to figure out what was what. I know at least two people got theirs mixed up. All they had to do was write a number or abbreviation or something on the outer wrap. They also didn't include any napkins in the bag. The worst part, though, is they gave us mostly room temperature bottled drinks. Two of them were cold, but the rest were not. This means they either forgot to load their fridge or just pulled them from inventory. Either way, who wants to drink warm tea or soda? Again, no regard for the customer. To their credit, the sandwiches were actually good. Probably could have had more meat given the price point, but I liked mine. Everything else about the experience sucked and we won't ever make the mistake of ordering from them again when there are literally a half dozen places nearby that do a better job.

The club sub is supposed to have ham and turkey. I don't actually know what meat this was. Roast beef? Pastrami? Beats me! The Italian was made correctly but wasn't that good. They're usually very flavorful. This was not.
