Sal's Market Deli

"Overall it was a good quick meal. I ordered the sals classic on wheat . It was good. They put all the veggies on the side due to the size of the bread which was actually preferable. The sandwich tasted good and the dressing was delicious. The chips it came with were definitely stale"

"Sal’s Market is located at ground level of Portofino Hotel. This market used to be my go-to eatery whenever I stayed at Portofino Hotel. Because they used to offer Italian cuisine at very very approachable price. After a long day exploring the Universal Studios, I decided to check out Sal’s. After a pleasant ferry ride to Portofino, I ran into the market to place an order. I ordered a large size of Salvatore and a drink. And I waited. And waited more patiently. 30 minutes passed and I heard the cashier explaining to customers that pizza orders can take 45 minutes or longer. Well, they should’ve explain to me when I placed the order!! I got really pissed off at minute 52 and I was so ready to give this place a 1 star review. At that moment, the pager vibrated and I picked up my pizza. Had my first bite and my anger disappeared. Oh boy, it was so good and just realized I only paid like $21? Looks like this is potentially the best valued meal in the Universal area. I am coming back here soon."

"Not a bad place at all for a quick lunch while at the hotel. Outside seating overlooked the water gives a feel of Italy. Wood fired pizzas, sandwichs, and salads. Not overpriced either. A 14" handmade wood fired pizza for $20? What more can you ask for?"

"As a Central Florida resident, my husband and I are always keen on exploring areas and trying new to us food. Today, we decided to give Sal's Deli at the Portofino resort a try. We got the veggie calzone which was large enough to feed both of us. It cost the same as the calzone at the pizza place around the corner from our house. Unlike the one around the corner from our house, this one was STUFFED with veggies. The red sauce that comes with it was also amazing, and I am not a red sauce fan. Yes, you have to actively choose to come here, but once you're in City Walk, you can take the free water taxi (yes, they're free to everyone in City Walk) or walk the garden trail that exits out on the Universal Studios side, but it's worth it. As is just visiting the local resorts when you get a chance."

"I came for a family experience and only got a gastronomical nightmare, the pizzas are dry and the ingredients of poor quality. Hard bread, no fresh drinks but only canned. Also, the attitude of the employees leaves much to be desired, they are despots and of such poor quality to solve as their employees"
