Neroli Mercato & Deli

"Have been several times for lunch and always a little shopping in the market. Sandwiches are awesome. We love trying the different Italian sodas. Best red sauce in the area! Looking forward to going for breakfast."

"I went to this Italian deli for the first time yesterday. I ordered an Italian sandwich and it was absolutely amazing. I will definitely be back to try their other deli and fresh foods selection. The store itself has a nice presentation but does not have many options for purchasing goods. I wish they had more variation. Anyhow I will definitely be back to eat from their deli."

"This location is Westwood's best-kept secret. Stepping inside transports me right into an episode of The Sopranos. The subs here are the finest I've tasted since Christie's shuttered. Yes, the prices may be on the higher side, but the generous portions more than make up for it. This has quickly become my preferred spot for a sub whenever I'm visiting my parents. Lamberts, it's time for you to step aside!"

"As soon as we walked in the door we were overwhelmed with the loud chatter of voices. One would think when opening a new restaurant, the first thing you would do when designing the space would be to install sound dampening on the ceiling and walls to keep the sound levels at tolerable levels. We could barely hear our waiter, but we did hear him say that the architect was actually in earlier in the day to remedy the accoutics, which was nice to hear. As for the food. As soon as we sat down, warm bread with seasoned olive oil was brought to us, which was a nice touch (and slo tasted great). We then ordered drinks, which again were brought over within a couple of minutes. We started out sharing a caesar salad, which was more than enough for both of us. You could also tell how fresh the romaine lettuce was with just the right amount of shaved parmesan and dressing. I don't think I have ever thought of that before, but it really came through when eating it. I ordered the chicken marsala, which was excellent. Sliced thin, with a nice mushroom sauce. It was accompanied by some excellent mashed potatoes, that were topped with spinach. My wife ordered the eggplant parmesan, which she enjoyed. I tasted it and I thought it was "just alright", nothing outstanding. The desert menu is somewhat limited to I think 5 items, nothing that really pushed us over the edge to order. Plus, we were both pretty full from dinner. Overall, it was a good meal with nice ambiance (except for the sound levels). We will go back, but I think we will wait a couple of months to see if they actually do something about the noise levels. When we exited the restaurant, it was really strange to walk out to silence, it was that deafening."
