For a party of 28 last Sunday I ordered a Porchetta and a beef tenderloin. I followed the direction I was given for the cooking, It was just plain awesome, both very tender meat, perfectly cooked.

The market itself is a Sarasota institution known for pairing custom cut prime meats with a massive…read moreselection of fine wines and gourmet foods. I was there for the wine, I might have bought some potato salad. ​You step off the burning Sarasota asphalt into a cool, carpeted room that smells like cold cut steaks, smoked bacon fat, and the damp oak of expensive wine barrels. It's quiet inside, the kind of quiet that lets a man hear his own thoughts, whether he wants to or not, typically I fo not care to hear the committee as I so affectionately refer to the voices. ​On one side, you've got cold glass cases packed with raw red beef, house made sausage, and thick-cut slab bacon. On the other side, row after row of Cabernet and Pinot sit under green lamps, lined up on blonde wood racks like a legion of dark bottles ready to take the edge off a hot Florida evening. Up in the back room, behind a pair of doors under a small, glittering chandelier, they keep the high-dollar stuff Opus, Ridge, Cabernets that costs more than a ome poor slobs week's wages. High-end grapes waiting on a wooden barrel for somebody with too much money in his pocket. ​It's half butcher shop, half high class cellar, all clean carpet and quiet business. You can pick out a prime ribeye, grab a bottle of deep red to drown the heat, and head back out to the parking lot before the sun burns through your shirt. A solid joint. Get your meat, grab your wine, and get out into the shade.

I wanted to have a dinner party and the manager at the Ellenton store sat with me to explain…read moreeverything about the menu. He offered suggestions, variety, explained each item, had me try sauces to determine the degree of hotness, and calculated the food according to my budget. The service was prompt, the food was hot and the price was definitely affordable. It was wonderful personalized service and the dinner party was a great success. I would definitely do this again. I was able to enjoy the party without the worry of preparation. Kathryn G

You could come to this place every day for a month and still not have tried everything on the menu. Everything is fresh, the people are friendly and their selection of pastries and they're supermarket is off the hook.

The burrito I ordered was decent it wasn't anything to write home about but I did really enjoy the various fresh agua frescas they had. My friend also ordered a pastry which was also good. The ambiance was a restaurant/meat market/corner store vibe. The reason why I give them 3 stars instead of 4 is because of the customer service from the lady who was taking our order at the counter. She was very rude and made negative facial expressions at us, rolling her eyes and would then start speaking in Spanish to other people... I can't confirm she was talking about us as I don't speak Spanish fluently but that's how it came across.

The place was packed with shelves of pasta and breads. Very well decorated and clean. A few Nice tables to stop and eat at. Felt like home. I was coming to buy some cold cuts but walked out with much more. They have a great deli for Italian subs (I bought one with hots on fresh bread. Yum). They make very good pizza (bought a slice;). That what I came here for. But I could not stop there. I saw homemade pastry. The lady who was a baker was so proud of her food I figured had to be good. Can you say sfogliatele? You should learn because this was one of the best I have ever had. Flaky buttery with great yellow cream filling. So fresh. Excellent. Then on way out I grabbed 1/2 dozen taralle. And a dry sausage (I have not eaten yet!!). The taralle were awesome. Didn't make the car ride home. I find out The family are Italians from Montreal. Very nice, proud people. Old school passion for their craft. 5 stars.

Definitely needed more prosciutto. Service was alright they said they ran out of regular size rolls and only had large rolls left so that was annoying considering it was 12pm. They have table seating available in the deli.
