Their signature Italian was no better than Subway.

They have great meats in the case and cheeses. Go for those for sure.

Too far for us in TV but Paul's Deli in Kississimme is great. Small hole-in-the-wall run by 3 sons and their mom. Nothing fancy but we gladly drove 45 minutes from west Orlando to go there 3-5 times a year.
If you compare food here to what we grew up on in NY not even close but we have had to adapt and lower our expectations.

Only Nappolinos will serve bread with a crust. How does an Italian restaurant serve bread with soggy crust. Sad.
