I didn't know what I was in for the sandwich took me to my happy place. The price is nothing compared to the quality ingredients. The service was wonderful. I opted for the chicken salad sandwich and that chicken was not canned.. it's in the taste. I'm definitely coming back for another sandwich and bringing friends along. This is definitely a gem to just stumble across. The place reminded me of the bodegas in New Jersey and New York. Definitely recommend to stop in and the best part? There were other customers and when the sweet lady recognized them by name I was all in. I'm coming back for sure

We drove over two hours to have lunch and buy some pastries. We couldn't decide what to order, you…read morecould see the food was not fresh, the steam table was full of water with grease and sausage floating in it. the pasta sauce looked burnt. My husband ordered a sub sandwich, my friends husband a sausage sandwich, my friend eggplant, i had spagetti marinara. The noodles were mush and cold and tasted so bad, were were afraid of food poisoning and left everything. The pastries were not refrigerated and needed be, the cookies were not from there fresh baked they were from Flora foods repackaged. I wanted to buy some ricotta cheese and the owner wanted to charge me $89.00 for two five pound container containers that cost about $15.00 each at one of the warehouses. Other than the drive, fear of food poisoning , not homemade bakery items and price gouging, we learned a good lesson. THERES NO PLACE LIKE HOME!

From Biblical scriptures on the drink glasses to the thoughtful decor, it is what most coffee shops want to be. The pastries selection is excellent! They also offer other breakfast and lunch options that are prepared quickly. On-street parking is available in front on Broadway and lot-parking available behind in a shared lot. Construction nearby slightly limits access from downtown, but a short detour to SW 2nd Ave takes you to the rear lot. Carryout is available, but treat yourself to the full experience by staying long enough to exhale your stress and find your smile. Seating is available on ground level and in the specious area upstairs.

This is an incredible place to get a meal. One day for lunch , I went out with a co worker. She…read moreordered a ham panini and I ordered a muffuletta. She warmed up both our sandwiches and we included a side. We both got the chickpea salad which was nicely seasoned. This place also has a plethora of desserts. My friend picked up a raspberry lemon cake and I got a large piece of chocolate peanut butter cake. Each dessert was $5 and the meal combo with a side was $15. I thought it was reasonably priced. There are Italian groceries available too. Nice lady who runs the place.

What an incredible gastronomical experience my husband and I had here at Let's Eat Fresh…read moreDelicatessen! We visited for the first time yesterday and it's like a wonderland of Italian imported bakery items, olive oils, pasta and so much more! It was Italy transported to this delicatessen! Maria made our Italian paninis and, by far, they were the best we've ever had: made on fresh focaccia and absolutely out of this world Italian meats and pesto. We also had the homemade potato salad and it was also the best we've had and my almond cake (part custard, part cake) was heavenly! I am wanting to try their hot dishes next: lasagna, chicken parmigiana and more. My own Nonna was resurrected with this food. We were also helped by Rosini and Maria shared with me that her daughter Rosaria also is part owner. I would highly recommend anyone living in this region to take the drive here. It IS an Italian Wonderland of Foods. It's got a couple of tables so take-out is an option but we ate in. What a joy this deli was for us. Maria cooks with both love AND only the best ingredients. And you can 100% tell with the passion for food that she exudes when you talk to her. This, by far, has been my favorite experience with Italian fare since I moved from Miami to Citrus County in 2016. Yes, it's worth the hour drive for me. For sure and for certain... This is a must for anyone having a passion for Italian food: fresh, delicious and so very flavorful. Blessings to you, Maria and crew, for bringing us culinary joy yesterday with many more to come.
