    Vaca frita, moro de habichuela negra y maduros
    Joleen L.

    Theres not many spots in this area to eat good authentic latin food. We decided to try it out. The service was not all that great , not sure if the girl was new but she completely forgot about my order. The food was ok, I am not going to say it was bad but I have had better. The drinks were very weak, and mostly juice. I wouldn't return to dine in, maybe take it to go.

    When we visit Florida, we always want to have at least one Cuban meal. This was our choice in Naples and it was a good one. The Mojo pork was filled with flavor. The Ropa Vieja was excellent. Each entrée came with two sides. My husband particularly enjoyed his plantains. We ate outside, which was a plus.

    Outstanding. We stopped at the restaurant for an early dinner. The restaurant is located in a strip mall with an ample amount of parking. We all got mojitos which were okay. We also shared a starter of beef empanadas which were very tasty, crispy and perfectly seasoned. Traditional Cuban soup with garbanzo beans was a riot - if you like soups, this dish would make you happy. Seasoning, flavor, taste - superb. My main dish was seafood mix, which was again well seasoned and tasty. I also had an opportunity to try roasted pork chunks (Masitas de Puerco) - amazing, and Bistec de Pollo which was very tasty. Yellow rice was very good. My favorite side dish was Fried Yuca - superb flavor and taste. Both chocolate and regular Tres Leches were tasty, and Cuban coffee was strong and sweet. Excellent service, prompt and friendly. Definitely recommended.

    If you are in the mood for cuban food this place is a must stop! I ordered a cuban sandwich. It was delicious. Honestly probably the best cuban sandwich i've ever had. Sides do not come with the sandwich so you do have to order that separately. The ambience is nice. They have a small outside eating area that's perfect for a nice day. Dogs are also allowed on the outside patio. Service was good. I would recommend stopping by for lunch if in the Naples area!

    The meal was delicious & our server Jaime was great! I got plantains; they were some of the best I've had (no pic). We sat outside & enjoyed that ambiance.

    Amazing Cuban sandwich! Amazing and quick service! Great atmosphere! I highly recommend.

Heard they had some crazy sandwiches. Located inside a strip mall, parking was relatively easy. The decor inside was punk grunge style I would say. I asked for what their top sellers were and they directed me towards "The Twang". Which was sliced chicken breast with honey mustard, onions, American cheese and crushed bbq chips. I was told the way to get it was toasted and so that's how I got it. It was a good sandwich or hoagie but I'm not sure if maybe I'm spoiled from living in Miami but crushing chips and putting it on a sandwich is not what I would consider creative. And I thought $15 for a 12 inch without a soda or a side seemed a bit much. Staff were friendly and the place was clean. And hats off to whoever calibrated the soda machine. It was perfect balance of syrup and gas. Overall it's a good spot but nothing I would rave about.

YCS calls itself a "...new type of upscale sandwich shop." What does that mean, exactly? High prices. Quality seems not to be much of a consideration. Blatant rip off, even by Naples standards.

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.

    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.
