Mercato Italiano
306 9th St N, Naples, FL
Crema's Take
“This cozy Italian corner in Naples nails the art of doing a few things exceptionally well—their espresso drinks are precise and satisfying, but it's the handmade sandwiches and fresh pastries that keep people coming back, with reviewers raving about everything from mind-blowing paninis to delicate ravioli that tastes like genuine craftsmanship. It's the kind of place where you can grab a quick, expertly-made espresso and pastry on your way out, or settle in for a longer meal surrounded by authentic Italian charm without pretension. The consistently high praise suggests they've cracked the code on quality ingredients and genuine technique—a true little slice of Italy that takes pride in not cutting corners.”

The ravioli were absolutely delicious — perfectly balanced in flavor, very tender, and the dough was soft and delicate. You can really taste the quality. The pistachio dessert was incredible — it literally melts in your mouth. It’s not overly sweet, with a light crispy crust that makes every bite pure bliss
I've been twice already. I ordered the ready-made sandwich they have there; I don't remember the name, but it tastes very fresh and delicious. It's simple but excellent. I hope they never change the quality of the food. It's hard to find a place where the food tastes so fresh and good. I've only been to Milan, Italy, once, and the food tastes just like I did there. The bakery is excellent, and so is the coffee. Next time I'm going to try the pizza. I highly recommend this place.
I had never had an Italian panini as this. Wow!!!! Mind blowing!! I’m not even exaggerating. This will be my to-go place when I head out to Naples. Such a cute cozy little piece of Italia. Thank you for a wonderful service and attentiveness. Will definitely recommend and we will be back.
Absolutely incredible! The food was amazing! We ordered the Catania sandwich, Napoli sandwich and the carbonara, everything was mind blowing (not at an exaggeration at all). The server was super nice and attentive, we had a small issue and another server (I believe the owner) solved it super quickly and with great attitude! A bit pricey but 100% worth it!! It surely has become one of my favorite places here in Naples.
My wife and I found this gem on our trip to Naples. We’re from Toronto which has a large Italian community, with a of great places to eat! This Italian lunch spot is unmatched! Phenomenal food, great service. A little pricey but had no problem paying for great food and service! We highly recommend!
