We've been eating lunch at Pot Belly almost every single weekday since the middle of January, and…read moreit has become one of our favorite places. They open at 10:30 a.m., which is perfect for those of us who start our workday early. What really sets Pot Belly apart isn't just the great food--it's the incredible people. Every member of the staff, from the chefs to the cashier, the shake maker, and even the person who keeps the restaurant spotless, treats us like family. They know us by name and have our order ready before we even ask. Over the months, they've gotten to know us personally. They know we used to live in Ocala, that we now live in The Villages, what we do for a living, and even that my father-in-law is a missionary bush pilot in Bolivia. Those conversations and genuine friendships mean more than they probably realize. It's rare to find a restaurant where the food is consistently good and the customer service is so warm and personal. We don't just come back because of the sandwiches--we come back because of the people. Thank you, Pot Belly, for making us feel welcome every single day. You have earned two loyal customers, and we highly recommend you to anyone looking for great food served by even greater people! Merf and Penny Trout

The salad was amazing to which my wife said it was one of the best salads she's had in quite a while. The pizza was also really delicious, loaded with lots of fresh ingredients, and we'll definitely be returning a few times during our visit. Looking for a good Italian restaurant...look no farther.

Instead of taking up a whole table, I opted to sit at the bar and brought a book to read with me. The restaurant, to my surprise, was busier than I expected. I sat down at the bar next to a nice gentleman and lady working on her computer down the row. I was greeted by the waitress who offered me a drink right away. Since it was a Tuesday, I opted for a Shirley Temple. It was actually pretty good. I wasn't super hungry, so I ordered the soup, salad, and breadsticks. My order came out pretty quickly, and the pasta figioli was just as I expected. The dressing on the salad was cold and delicious. And who's going to ever complain about their breadsticks? All in all, really great experience. Highly recommend hitting the Olive Garden if you're in the villages and want a classic, italian meal.

This is for the wings, I didn't get pizza. I actually ordered Marco's wings two days in a row,…read morewhich says a lot because I normally do not order wings very often. Most places charge high prices for wings that end up dry, under-sauced, or just average. These were genuinely good. The garlic parmesan wings were the standout for me. The sauce had a rich buttery garlic flavor with plenty of parmesan, and they were extremely generous with it. Same thing with the hot buffalo. The wings were fully coated and flavorful from beginning to end instead of lightly tossed like a lot of places do. What surprised me most was that all of that extra sauce actually worked in their favor. I did not even need the ranch because the wings already had so much flavor on their own. The wings were cooked well, the pricing felt reasonable, and after craving them again the next day, I ended up ordering them a second time. Definitely an underrated option for wings.

After seeing how far it was from me, I didn't think I'd ever get the chance to sample . However, I found myself in a situation where I felt I could make the 30 minute (each way) drive. I was a little disappointed as I pulled into the parking lot got as, the building isn't exactly easy on the eye. But, I didn't let that sway me. Got there at about 12:15pm on a Thursday and saw lots of activity coming and going. There would about 3 or 4 people in front of me and I waited. As I waited, I watched. There didn't seem to be an efficient work flow in the kitchen. A lot of running back and forth instead of having things "right there". This translated into long service times. Got down to just one person in front of me and things stalled even more as there was much talking about this and that. The line behind me grew to about 10 people. If it wasn't so hot outside I believe the line would have gone out the door. I'll admit that I just about gave up as it probably was close to 15 minutes before taking my order. But, I stayed put. Angelo took my order of an Italian Combo and asked if I wanted it "All The Way". Always. However, I understand that "All The Way" means different things to different people but, I'm good to experience it, "however Christina's of Bellevue " sees it. Angelo was quick to clarify, however, that, "All The Way" meant having mayonnaise on the sandwich and, seeing me with my New York Mets hat on, wanted to be sure that's what I wanted or to just have "sub sauce" on it. Any respecting Italian Combo eater knows that putting mayo on this type of sandwich is an absolute travesty, and Angelo picked up on that he was dealing with an expert. Not exactly sure what "sub sauce" is but, let's go with it. Wasn't as long of a wait in the construction of the sandwich as I thought and I paid my cash (only btw) and was out the door for the 30 minute treck to west Ocala. I was happy at the butcher paper and masking tape wrap. I don't know why this matters, it just does! I unwrapped the sandwich and was pleased to see some soggyness. I realize that some people don't appreciate this type of thing but, I usually order by Italian combos with extra vinegar just for the soggyness. A little disappointed in the bread at first glance as it did not contain sesame seeds and was a little soft, soggyness not withstanding. Bread being the number factor in a good sandwich and, clearly the area is challenged in that respect. I dove in. The overall taste was very good. I would suggest to explain that the sandwich contains sweet banana pepper rings. I like that but, would be informative for the buyer to know that the sandwich is coming this way and perhaps give them the choice of hot or sweet pepper rings, or none at all. There was a sweet undertone to the sandwich beyond the sweet pepper rings and, I'm not sure if this was from the "sub sauce". I would make this my main criticism on the overall taste of the Italian combo. Make a "dressing" of extra virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt/pepper/oregano/basil.....maybe a squirt of lemon juice, and that's what should be the "sub sauce". It did have a "store bought" quality to it. Nonetheless, I devoured both halves extremely quickly. Fair price at $11. Give it a try but, bring your patience and cash. Yes, I concur, best I've had in the area!!!!
