I live less than 10 mins from this place and I willl NEVER GO BACK OR RECOMMEND!!!! In fact you get more bang for your buck at Wawa or Publix!!!!! Don't let the crowd in here fool you because when I saw how many ppl were here I got excited in hopes for good food. However I was extremely disappointed and underwhelmed didn't even eat the whole thing!! I'll post pics of what I got and you tell me if it's worth $20

Update on my take home of the lasagna and Spanish ravioli…read more Ravioli was good. The wife complained the pasta was a little thick, but I was ok with it. For $12 you get 16 pieces. Plenty for 2-3 people. The lasagna. This might be my biggest disappointment this year. Lasagna is one of my favorite dishes, I don't know if I've ever had one I couldn't finish... until this day. I dunno, maybe the beef went bad? At first I thought it was the cheese. I was confused, it had a chemical smell to it. I was thinking maybe this is some exotic Italian cheese they put on top, but when I isolated the ingredients to try to figure out what was giving off the smell and taste, it ended up being the meat. The ingredients said "beef" but I've never had beef taste like this before. I've literally never thrown out lasagna up until this point. I tried to power through it, but stopped after eating about 20%. The thought of taking another bite still haunts me. I was really hoping I was going to love this place. So sad.

After my experience on Thursday, February 12th, that's over. At 6:05 PM, I placed a small online order (mozzarella sticks, a calzone, and a sandwich) through their website, as I always do. Estimated pickup: 29 to 34 minutes. I arrived at 6:41 with my wife and kids in the car. Food wasn't ready, but "five more minutes." Fine. Five turned into twenty. Twenty turned into forty. During that time, I watched the staff take phone orders and quote every customer "20 to 25 minutes," no matter the order size. When I asked what the holdup was, the staff, who were genuinely doing their best, explained that new kitchen staff were struggling. My son was starving, so I left to grab him food elsewhere and came back about 30 minutes later, confident my order would be waiting. It wasn't. At 7:35 PM, ninety minutes after placing a three-item order, nothing was ready. I asked the staff why they were still quoting 20-minute turnarounds when the reality was 90+ minutes. I suggested they pause online ordering to let the kitchen recover. They told me the owner, Jared Grifoni, has instructed them to keep online orders on and to continue telling customers 20 minutes, despite knowing the kitchen is nowhere close to meeting that timeline. That's not a bad night. That's a policy decision to mislead customers for the sake of revenue. I requested a refund. As it was being processed, two of my three items finally came out. When the staff asked the kitchen about the last item, the answer was: "I have no idea when we'll get to that." I left at 7:46 PM, one hour and forty-one minutes after ordering. To be clear: the staff on the floor that night are not to blame. They were put in a no-win situation and handled it as well as anyone could. The issue is ownership making a conscious choice to overload the kitchen, deceive customers about wait times, and let the staff absorb the fallout. When I arrived, the restaurant was nearly full. When I left, it was almost empty. I won't be adding myself to either count again.

This place is everything I had hoped for. When you walk in the door it has the feel of an old…read morefashioned butcher shoppe. Cases filled with customer cuts of meat, freezers loaded with specialty items you can't get at your regular grocery store, and a tall refrigerator filled with large briskets, beef tenderloin, and so many other things from Snake River Farms. We happened to be on my last day of vacation so we walked past all of that and headed towards the back where the restaurant is. We were quickly greeted by super friendly hosts and seated in a booth against the wall. There were so many things I wanted to try! Ended ordering the Reuben, a bowl of chili, a basket of tots, and a hot dog for my 2 year old. I usually order a Reuben just about anywhere I see it on the menu so I've had my fair share. This was definitely top 3! (Sorry about the picture, I was hungry) It had some of the most tender, flavorful corned beef I've ever tasted, that can only be found in in-house made corned beef. The only reason it wasn't number 1 is because they don't griddle the bread. It works fine without it but, to be a true Rueben, I'm gonna need that bread buttered and grilled up. The tots came perfectly fried and crispy with plenty of seasoning salt, and it in basket that could easily feed 4-6 people. The kids hot dog was HUGE! Smoked and then grilled I believe. It was a bit too smoky for my taste but still very flavorful. Finally, the chili was a very tasty standard chili, just the way I like it. Not too spicy and no crazy, "what is that flavor I'm tasting?" kind of spices in there either. It was a bit of a loose chili with plenty of chunks of tender brisket throughout. Overall, great food, great laid back ambience, and friendly staff providing great service every where you look. We vacation in Naples a few times a year so we will definitely be back!

I tried one of their bombolone and it was fantastic! All of this great food was found in a quaint, but lively, little shop at the end of an alley.

The variety here is incredible, from simple classics to fully loaded, ingredient-packed slices. Pricing Plain slices feel a little pricey, but the specialty, loaded slices are definitely worth it. Considering it's on Fifth Avenue South, the prices make sense. You're not walking out feeling ripped off. Fresh and Fast Service Slices are constantly fresh, and they bring your food right to your table. Hot, fresh, and ready to enjoy. Plus, they have seasonings on the side so you can customize. Marketing and Vibes The pink theme is amazing and makes the place feel fun and super Instagram-worthy. Temperature and AC Situation It gets very hot inside. I love the open-air seating concept, but in the summer it's brutal. AC vents don't seem to do much, and there aren't fans running, so brace yourself. Customer Service Not the friendliest vibe when I asked a couple questions. I get it, it's a quick-stop spot, not a fancy restaurant, but a friendly smile never hurts. With the heat, it kinda makes sense why staff might be a little rushed. Cleanliness Bathrooms are super clean, which is always a huge plus. Overall Rating Fun, unique, quick slice spot with tons of options. Fresh, hot slices, cute marketing, minor heat and AC issue, and slightly rushed service balance out to four stars.

5+ Star Review for Mercato Italiano…read more From the moment you walk into Mercato Italiano, you know you have found something special. This is not just a café. It is an experience that brings authentic Italian flavor and warmth right into the heart of Naples. Let me start with the espresso. The flavor was rich, smooth, and perfectly balanced. You can taste the quality in every sip. It had that true Italian profile, bold but never bitter, and it set the tone for everything that followed. Now the food. I ordered a croissant sandwich, and it was nothing short of exceptional. The croissant itself was fresh out of the oven, light, flaky, and buttery in all the right ways. Inside, I had two sunny-side-up eggs cooked just right, paired with prosciutto, bacon, and ham. The combination of flavors was incredible. Every bite gave you a perfect mix of savory, rich, and slightly salty notes, all brought together by that warm, delicate croissant. What really stood out was the presentation. This was not just a sandwich thrown on a plate. It was carefully arranged on a platter, clean, inviting, and done with pride. You can tell they care about every detail. The atmosphere completes the experience. The energy inside is welcoming, relaxed, and full of character. It feels like a place where people come not just to eat, but to slow down, connect, and enjoy the moment. Whether you are stopping in for a quick espresso or sitting down for a full breakfast, the environment makes you want to stay. The experience was outstanding along with the service that made you feel like Family. If you are anywhere near Naples, this is a must-visit. Mercato Italiano delivers on flavor, presentation, and experience at the highest level. This is easily a 5-plus star spot, and a place I will return to again without hesitation.

I was often ignored by Bob who every time I approached their counter seemed to just have his hands in his pockets, then literally walk away from me to allow someone else take care of me. There was a man named "Frankie"? who was always enthusiastically taking care of us. Unfortunately, after almost 4 months of not seeing my favorite attendant at that counter, I inquired and was informed by a male worker he had since left. In my opinion, I wish those in control had fought to keep such a great asset. I so hope the store hires someone of equal competency as he was the best I've EVER encountered in ANY grocery store!!
