I was disappointed at first regarding my take out order. The owner of this family restaurant called me personally and apologized, and issued a full credit. I will certainly try them again as I understand mistakes can be made. Most people who have eaten here loved it. It must have been just one of those things. Do try it as people have stated the food was fabulous. Thank you Valero for your understanding and making things right. read more

Went to a food and wine pairing. 4 course meal along with a glass of wine. It was a great experience. Each wine was introduced before each dish. Great event. Excellent quality of food and the wine selection was also great. Very nice seating. Looking forward to the next event. read more

I try to stop in every time I come to Naples. I enjoy the coffee and pastries. I normally get the same thing. The croissant and the little white cookies that taste like maybe mascarpone. They are a good solid cookie. The croissant are also good here. Now that I am writing this and thinking about it. Croissants in an Italian restaurant! now that's different lol. The coffee is something that is a must try. If you like coffee. You are gonna love the coffee they use here. Like the name indicates. This is a nice little store. That you can pick up a thing or two to make a great meal. In the center of the store there is a cute sitting area. It's nice inside. I enjoyed the pastries and coffee each time I come. The staff is helpful and service is fast. read more

5+ Star Review for Mercato Italiano 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. read more

Mercato Italiano - Pure deliciousness! - Italian Near Me - Naples, Florida

50% off select items during happy hour between 4-6 was a pleasant surprise. Better believe we took advantage of that and tried a few items on the menu. Everything was so delicious! We started off with some gelato and affogato's as we arrived before 4pm so waited for happy hour to begin. I didnt try the gelato but the kids loved it. The affogato was one of the best I've had in a while and was a much needed pick me up. Once 4pm hit, we started with the pistachio croissant. They put the cream in when you order and was fabulous! We ordered a mini baguette with mortadella and mini panini. Fabulous! As we waited for our pizza, ordered some wine which was also 50% off. The allessandro pizza is something I've never had and we all loved it. Will def be back when we come to the area. read more

Best coffee, croissants, Paninis and pizza in Naples. Amazing paninis, especially the Milan and the Napoli. If you love imported prosciutto of the highest quality, choose Milan. If you fancy delicious Mozzarella, tomatoes and fresh basil, go for the Napoli. By the way, I can eat one by myself but they are a nice size and are good enough to share by 2 people. They have a pizza called Alessandro that is pure gourmet, a feast for pizza lovers. Mercato Italiano may be a bit busy at some times but for me the waiting in line is worth it. The owner and chef, Valerio di Falco, was going around the tables checking that everything was good. He was very nice, same with Jiusi and Anna. read more

Perfect sandwich, soup and salad deli near Memorial Sloan Kettering. Has been my go to place for a chicken cutlet sandwich, split pea soup, and dinner salads. They have catering as well, but great place for your breakfast and lunch or for take out!! read more

Loved the selection of Italian foods. They had baked goods as well. Tried a custard filled bomboloni that was delicious! The staff was friendly and helpful. Will be going back on my next trip to Naples. read more

Place is a great find! So glad we found it, everything's we got was amazing, except for the tiramisu, we expected to see a homemade tiramisu made on the spot like the other pictures posted on here, instead we got a frozen slice that we couldn't eat, it was rock hard and couldn't cut into it, don't think I'd recommend it, can't comment on the flavor because we couldn't even taste it. The croissants were filled to the brim with the filling, same as the donuts! Coffee was great, good flavor! Service was fairly fast, the cashier was friendly and helpful. The inside of the place was pretty tight, they have a few tables, a good place I would recommend read more

Excellence beyond words! Highly recommend! Everything was delicious! Coffee was incredible!

The wife and I were looking for good coffee this morning and saw this small, quaint place. As soon as you enter you see all the various Italian products, and then you notice all the bakery items. There was a young lady behind the counter; she was super nice. The various croissants and other goods were displayed. They all looked so delicious. We chose a chocolate croissant, a cheese pastry, and another item. We had double lattes. Everything was outstanding. We will go back. read more

Wow! Love this place! Had a Aperol Spritz and well made and delicious. Had a little tasty bite from there display case. So good. Mortadella pistachios yummy. Shop was filled with excitement watching a futbol match. A very friendly and talented young man behind the counter provided excellent service even-though his heart was in the game. At one point he commented if only no one was here I could watch the match! Thought that was priceless. Some do like there futbol. This place is stocked and awesome. June 15 is 2 year anniversary. I see them there for a long time. read more

I'm happy Mercato Italiano is still a wonderful place to get great espresso, the most amazing croissants (pistachio and chocolate are favs), a welcome feel and options to purchase quality Easter cake, olive oil, cheese and so much more. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming. Later in the day they offer 50% off the bakery (which includes some panini type sandwiches). I had the Milan, which they happily heated, and it was melt in my mouth tasty. read more

What pleasure it is to discover for ourselves this family owned market and eatery. Don't let the name fool you; it is more than a market! Upon arrival Valerio explained that what we were ordering was going to be done in the authentic style. Say no more, this is what we want! So carbonara made with simple ingredients such as Parmesan, egg, and fresh guanciale and his added touch of chopped pistachios. I had a focaccia made with mortadella, straciatella, and pistachio cream. Sounds simple, but the marrying of flavors transported us to Sicily. My husband had his meal with the a blonde Birra Maistra he raved about, I had a glass of their house red, which was a lovely Cabernet. When asked if I wanted another glass, Luca came and gave me a fresh glass of a different wine he explained was between a Chainti and San Giovese. It was so good we had to purchase a bottle. Dessert was recommended to us: tiramisu and a delectable pistachio layered cake. And we had to grab a few items from their market, along with a pistachio latte. Is there a theme here? Pistachios served aplenty. But if you don't like that there are other options. I'm sure we just skimmed the surface this visit. But we look forward to returning to try more. This place was an escape from the daily routine, and truly a little port to Italy. The family spoke Italian and we learned some phrases and enjoyed practicing and speaking to them. What a sweet place. If you don't try them, you are truly missing out! read more

This is the place I was looking for when I went to Vergina also in Naples. For someone who's been to Italy many times, this is true Italian. Originally from Catania in Sicily it is a little market that sells wine, food and all sorts of Italian goods in addition to Paninis, Pastas and the best Espresso in the area. This is not for people looking for huge portions and the typical American-Italian place. Worth going! read more

First, the food is good. Never had a bad item from this place. BUT..... at this price point for carry out food, charging for a bag for your food is embarrassing. I spent the majority of my professional life in the restaurant business, it's just tacky to do that, just like the premade prepackaged desserts they are selling next to the fantastic homemade ones. So go in there and buy multiple items and then you have to pay for a bag to carry it out????? Come on now, this isn't California. The owner should move there if that's the kind of nonsense he wants to pull. read more

All I can say is after I and my friend finished our sandwich we both said to ourselves that it was one of the best sandwiches we have ever eaten and we're both 70 years old. Crispy fresh bread with the finest ingredients. Pizza looked excellent also and their baked goods are phenomenal. read more

I visited this Italian cafe in 2023 and enjoyed the food so much. I don't live close by but intend to revisit soon. The Panino Catania sandwich was delicious, filled with mortadella ham with pistachio, smoked pecorino cream, eggplant and olive oil. The dessert was Lemon Torta Non Lella baked by the owner's mother and I sadly didn't get a picture but will add a picture from owner's web page. The dessert It's worth buying a slice, so delicious, light and not so tart. Try this cafe for authentic Italian ingredients cooked with love. read more

Loved it super cozy place , delicious paninis, don't leave without trying the baba rum cake it's amazing

The pasta is made homemade fresh. The owner is on staff watching and making sure everything is prepared correctly.

What a sweet place! We had come for the Grouper but as we were getting distracted by all the menus walking by, the owner ushered us in--my kids decided to sit by themselves and have a meal apart while we went to the geouper place. Thier experience was adorable and delicious according to them! I wish they had more adventurous taste buds cause wow, the more elaborate options sounded so good and all the desserts! I got the best coffee to go as well. And love the ambiance. read more

We felt rushed by the counter lady. We had to bring our glass of wine and water to the table ourselves, even though they expect a tip when you pay. The cabernet was not good. We asked for another silverware set as we just ordered a spinach pastry and were going to share it and she totally ignored us. We felt that we were treated poorly because of our small order and we are not Italian. Never will go back. BEWARE. read more
