It was our first time at this restaurant, didn't know what to expect and my family is very indecisive when it comes to picking food, Chassidy ( our waitress ) was veeeeery patient, explained the menu and answered all the odd questions we threw at her with a smile. Restaurant: small corner store with at most 10 tables and about 5-6 bar chairs overlooking the street side, shelves with items for sale such as pasta sauce, Italian beer and pasta .... Food: fried calamari was amazing, according to my wife, and so was the tomatoe sauce that came with it. Kids pasta ( added a meatball for a little extra money ) was delicious according to my 10 year old. Roast beef wasn't enjoy by my 13 year old, her feedback was "it was just a little greasy". I ordered an eggplant parmigiana sandwich and it was exactly what I expected, delicious. We also ordered a side of French fries for an additional $3.00 and it was devoured in a quick two minutes, yep, it was that good.

We recently got married and used these amazing people to cater for our dinner! The owners communicated clearly, have phenomenal prices and excellent service. We ordered the eggplant rolitni, chicken parm, baked zidi, pork chops and red potatoes. I have family from the heart of little Italy that raved over the food. We had multiple people say that this was the best wedding dinner they have ever had. I don't have enough good things to say to these guys - we are beyond grateful.

We stopped in here while on vacation after finding them on yelp. The guy who served us was from NY, so that was a good sign right off the bat. The sandwiches were great! My wife had the pasta faggioli which was very tasty highlighted with basil. I had a sandwich with a truly great homemade pesto sauce and fresh mozzarella. I definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for good Italian food in Sarasota.

Decor: 4/5 -Very limited seating, don't come with a party larger than four. There is only one table for 6. Service: 5/5 -Friendly service, they prefer cash but also accept credit card -Charged us for 2 drinks, we got 4 drinks. Thanks! Food: 4/5 -11. Eggplant Parmigiana $9.50 - Great tasting eggplant, could use a tad bit less sauce. A great choice if you're looking for a soft bite. 4/5 -13. Veal Cutlet Parmigiana $10.50 - large piece of veal that overhangs the bread. This was a very tasty sandwich. Highly recommend. 5/5 -18. Fried Calamari $9.50 - calamari was not as crispy and drenched in sauce. 3/5 -20. Fried Veal Cutlet$12.50 - comes with balsamic vinaigrette. I personally didn't like this but Yelper Tiffany D liked it. 3/5

Really good Italian deli that uses quality ingredients. They make their own mozzarella and each sandwich is made with love! Good spot for lunch. Sandwiches are big so come very hungry! I recommend the chicken parm sandwich.

Delicious!!! I enjoyed the classic Italian sandwich! The meatball parmigiana sandwich was fantastic too!!!

I lived in Italy for 3 years and get feisty about how certain foods are prepared and presented and have not had a single complaint here. You must try the rice balls. They almost always have the prociutto variety but if you get a chance to try the short rib ones, do not pass it up! Order the arugula salad and share with a friend if you are watching your waistline.

Oh. My. Goodness. This place is a hidden gem. This is one of the many places on our vacation that we visited and it was definitely one of the top places we ate at. Most of my friends and family here didn't even know it existed! The food is phenomenal. It's not a fancy restaurant where you're wined and dined. It's a simple deli style that works tremendously. As soon as you walk in you're greeted with a loud and friendly welcome by a staff that's ready to answer any questions you might have. Since it was our first time here we had tons of questions, annoyingly basic ones I'm sure, that they gladly answered for us. I ended up ordering the Classic Italian. I consider myself a sandwich guy. I love sandwiches and I've eaten tons of them from tons of different places. High end to local eats, but this one was just so good. It's a solid sized sandwich and it's packed with prosciutto, salami, pepperoni, onions, etc. It is a blast of flavors that work really well together, and at less than $10 it's really a steal. The place was steadily busy from the time we walked in to the time we left. It doesn't seem to be easy to get a table, but most of their customers looked to be local businessmen grabbing lunch to go. If you haven't seen this place, I can't blame you. It's a hole in the wall that doesn't draw your attention. But this is one of the best hole in the wall restaurants you'll ever find.

Probably a top 5 Chicken Parmesan sandwich for me. The sauce was excellent and the cheese was quality. The chicken and bread were ok. Atmosphere is pretty cool, clean. People are nice and service is good. Price is ok but would seem a little better bargain if something came with the entree - like chips with a sandwich. For a $10 sandwich it might be nice to get it on a plate rather than rolled up in a to go paper. I'd give this place another go if I'm in the area again, but I'd definitely try the meatball sandwich instead.

I would like to pause and take a photo of these delicious sandwiches, but my taste buds won't let me! This is a locally-owned, wonderful spot in downtown Sarasota. The staff is friendly, quick with service, and their product is excellent! I love popping in here for a more than occasional lunch... the meatballs, the fried eggplant, and favorite, chicken parmesan are all wonderful. I highly encourage you to check this place out - you won't be sorry!

Jen F.

Awesome is only thing I can say. Had the mozzarella with prosciutto and balsamic drizzled on it. To die for. Also get the silican rice cake. I wanted to just shove it all it all in my mouth. They also make fresh mozzarella there- whattttt!!!
(5)
Sam W.

Ok, I gave it another shot and had some meatballs with fresh mozzarella and very good sauce. I've gotta move from 3 to 4 stars for the quality of the food.

Best prosciutto sandwich I've ever had and service is excellent . A bit pricey but the ingredients are fresh and delicious
(5)
Didi D.

Nice atmosphere, friendly staff, and generally just a cool place to stop and have lunch. The fresh bread and mozzarella took me back to time I spent in Europe where fresh baked sandwich bread and fresh cheese are the norm instead of the exception. Combined with basil and caramelized onions it made the whole sandwich experience a very good one. I'd love to go back to try the eggplant parm and the prosciutto balls, because they could possibly earn this place the ever elusive and coveted fifth star. Really the only downside to this place is that it is very small inside, but an outdoor seating area helps somewhat. If you are on Main Street definitely give this place a try.

Simply the best sandwich shop in Sarasota. Yes they serve other items, but the sandwiches are to die for. Nice people too and very clean and fun atmosphere. Highly recommended and highly addictive veal cutlet sandwiches.

Best northeast Italian food in Sarasota better then any so called Italian restaurant s in town best sandwiches and best eggplant Parma and best broccoli rabe and rice balls

Anna N.

Fabulous! We had a eggplant rollatini (oozing with cheese!!), the veal parmigiana sandwich (so good!!) and a half order of calamari. Y'all get the calamari!!! It's so perfectly fried without being oily and comes with a great marinara dipping sauce. Would definitely come can again. Fast, great service and very cute atmosphere :)

Montana L.

Being from downtown Brooklyn, I can tell you that this place is the real deal. I come here for the meatballs. Order anything with gravy and just take a moment to savor the gravy. In my opinion it might be the best on the west coast of Florida. Mike and Vicki run the place and they will make you feel like family. Enjoy!

This place is not for those on a diet or with preexisting heart conditions. Prepare to dig in, get your fingers greasy, and sink your teeth into layers of fresh, chewy bread and stringy mozzarella cheesy goodness. The eggplant parmigiana sandwich was thick and stuffed with layers of delicious eggplant and cheese. As I pulled the two halves apart, the mozzarella pulled into gooey strings of deliciousness. Ugh, it was amazing. I only wish that it had a bit more seating and a soda fountain, but that won't stop me from coming back for another round of indulgence.

There's a reason this place is one of the highest-rated places in SRQ. This cozy, casual storefront on an uninspiring block on Main Street found their niche, and I'm glad they did. I elected for the Prosciutto and Mozzarella sandwich, which was absolutely fantastic. I found it nice that they also offered a nice beer selection to accompany their tasty sandwiches. If you don't like fresh mozzarella, stay away!
(5)
Steve N.

Went to this place on a whim for lunch and it was great. I really wish I could have stayed and had a beer and some more food, but I got mine to go. My sandwich had fresh mozzarella, capicola, salami, and prosciutto. It was an awesome sandwich but a little on the small side for me. This place is definitely authentic and the staff was super friendly.

I got the classic Italian sandwich. Excellent ingredients. Very fresh and tasty. Pricing ok. Nice ambiance with music. Get a seat at the window so you have the nice view of the architecturally beautiful church accross the street.

William C.

This place continues to be my favorite lunch / sandwich stop in SRQ. I've now tried several items on the menu. I haven't been disappointed with anything. So far I've had the meatballs, veal parm, chicken parm, chicken francais, roast beef, roasted peppers and more ! As I said, everything is fantastic. There's still more to try. I promise, you will love it.

Jennifer K.

Love this deli! I feel like I walked back in time to a traditional deli shop. Walk up order your sandwich and either take it to go or eat in. Love the prosciutto and mozzarella sandwich. Simple and tastes great! If I worked closer, I'd be a regular customer.

So once again we relied on Yelp to provide us with a good place to eat. We were surely not disappointed. Mozzarella fella is located on Main Street in Sarasota. Upon entering you are overwhelmed by Italian & New York City nostalgia. Decorated very well. But the most important part is the menu. Mozzarella fella has many different sandwiches,all featuring their in-house made mozzarella. I had the fried veal cutlet, my wife had the prosciutto sub. The bread was excellent and so was the veal. The mozzarella was fresh as were the toppings. By all means you should stop in and try this joint out. It has great food and the owners are very nice. My only qualm was that we took some mozzarella home and it was bland and tough. Not a big deal whatsoever. Don't let that spoil your trip I promise you won't be disappointed at all. The whole family loved their lunch and we will definitely be back!

Mozzarella Fella is a great place for a quick lunch downtown! Their mozzarella is homemade fresh. I've never had a bad sandwich here.

I had the mozzarella.eggplant parm sandwich and my wife had a salad. Both were very tasty and made with fresh ingredients. Mozzarella was excellent. Service was friendly and fast. Like how it was decorated as well.

I stumbled upon this fabulous sandwich shop while waiting for a movie in the area. Fun atmosphere reminded me of little Italy in NYC. With mozzarella in the restaurant's title I knew ordering the classic fresh mozzarella sandwich would be a win. DELICIOUS. Fresh ingredients inside perfectly toasted bread. I ordered a side of balsamic for dipping which was a great decision. Will have to stop by again when I'm in the area.

My day is made...Mozzarella Fella in Sarasota is going to open for dinner a Weds. Thru Sat. I love the breaded veal cutlet sandwich with broccoli rabe sautÃ©ed in garlic, fresh mozzarella and a huge napkin to catch the dribbles. Awesomeness. Fresh pasta special is always a good take and the arroncinni balls divine. It is Staten Island in downtown Sarasota. Darn good sandwiches and the bread has just the right pull. Eggplant pram and meatballs good and sausage and peppers oh my. Just like NYC. Would eat there more if it weren't for all those calories and those yummy mini cannoli.

Christina W.

This tiny, simple place on Main Street has AMAZING food. My daughter introduced me to it a year ago and I eat there regularly now. Every single thing is fantastic. The menu is classic Italian deli, but the ingredients are always very fresh and flavor combinations excellent. I have to give special praise for their eggplant parm --so good that I don't want to mention it so I can have it all to myself :) Oh and try their homemade burrata. And, the service is great: genuinely friendly and helpful.

Both the roast beef sandwich and the Italian were great, next time would add mayo to the Italian but will be back next time I'm in Sarasota

So far I've been there only twice. But, the rolled eggplant parm and the meatballs are two of the best tasting, best value for your lunch dollar. Under $7.00. Good for a girls figure and budget!

Great sandwiches. Fresh, decent size. I love the #4 and ask for another sandwich. The fried mozzarella sandwich. It is delicious. Good food, people were real nice and it was a great meal. We will go again for sure.

Sandwich was good I had the prosciutto sandwich . Meant the best I've had but tasty. My first time there it was pretty pricey . Mine was 11.50 I felt it was a 7-8 dollar sandwich . I would try again though very nice place .

Oh my goodness I'm so glad we found this little place! Service was super friendly, helpful, and quick so they get high credit for that. But the food was AMAZING! The number 4 sandwich was the best sandwich I've ever had. They actually make the mozzarella in the restaurant in front of you! I showed him a picture that I found on Yelp that someone else posted because I didn't see it on the menu and they made that for me also. My family and I all ordered something different so we had lots to sample and everyone was beyond satisfied!

This place is the cat's pajamas, the best thing since sliced bread! We always order the fried veal cutlet and mesclun salad to share (which is more than enough!) I suggest adding extra Caramelized onions to the cutlet for extra oomph! Mom and I love to share this delectable treat at least once a week, but we've yet to explore more of the menu (which is undoubtedly a god send from the Italian heavens as well!). I advocate getting some fresh mozzarella to take home with you, perhaps you'll being home some inspired Italian flair and whip up your own flatbread ;) Such delicious fare, keep doing what you're doing team! I'll see you again soon, more than likely for a valentines date of sorts in the nearby future. Ciao bella!

Everything we've tried, both listed on the menu and special requests, has been delicious and prepared by friendly people! Salads are fresh, sandwiches are great, perfect place for picking up a picnic to enjoy by the bay.

After hearing good things about the restaurant, I have been wanting to give it a try. Hurried over yesterday right at 5:28, and the door was locked before their posted closing time of 5:30. Bummer. Went today and asked for an Italian. It had quality meats and cheese on the sandwich, however, it was way undersized and overpriced at $12 after tax. Cannot justify this purchase. Its been an hour since I ate it and I'm already hungry. I would not recommend this to anyone unless they have a large amount of disposable income and a minuscule appetite.

This restaurant never disappoints. I eat here at least once each week and I'm always greeted with 'Hi Brittany!' Their salads are huge and so yummy! I often feel like I don't get enough greens to make up for all the toppings of a gourmet salad but their mesclun and arugula salads are filled with super fresh lettuces. I always get the eggplant - trust me when I tell you that it is delicious any way they make it.

Perfect place for a quick lunch. Every sub my husband has had, he's loved and I'm a big fan of the arugula salad. Seating can be competitive at noon but food is yummy. Try the pickles.

Prof J.

This place is packed for lunch. I had the chicken francaise sandwich and a prosciutto ball. They both were very delicious. The place is a bit pricey. You end up spending almost $30 for two for a decent meal. But nonetheless, the food is solid ! the white sauce they give you with the prosciutto ball is a must have. Also they it gets crammed in there if you dine in. But , I highly recommend this place if you want your taste buds replenished.

Melle M.

The Italian sub and lasagna are excellent- I would highly recommend either one. Superb staff as well.

After reading the reviews I definitely had to check this place out for myself. Lots of different choices for sandwiches. I went with my family and I was able to sample quite a few including the prosciutto and mozzarella, fried eggplant prosciutto and mozzarella, and grilled chicken with pesto mayo. The mozzerella was salted perfectly and the bread was crusty on the outside yet soft in the inside. All 3 sandwiches were done right. However, they use Boars Head prosciutto which could get a Publix. I will definitely come back here and try other sandwiches!

Lawrence C.

What a find in Sarasota, MANY thanks to other yelpers!!! Prices are most fair (I actually advised the owner to raise their prices); quality is tops, and very authentic; and attitude of the owner is most commendable and friendly. So, what more can you ask for????
(5)
Chuck W.

I think I need to give this another try, since I see dozens of Yelp reviews that start with "awesome." Quite frankly, it did not strike me as such. Cute. Lots of neat stuff on the walls. Good, but not great, Italian fare. We had heard a recommendation and stopped in -- looking for a tide-me-over something at about 4 p.m. Then my wife and I proceeded to over-order . . . something we do regularly. And we proceeded to ruin any plans for a nice dinner later. I had an Italian submarine sandwich. Good, but not appreciatively better than the one you get at Subway. My wife liked her eggplant thing, though, so maybe I'm being too critical. Let start over. Mozzarella Fella is cute. And it has a great name. I'll give in another try.
(3)
Yousif S.

Yelpers were right about this one. Good food. Good service. Good ambiance. We ordered fried calamari with spicy marinara. Delicious! Then shared a #20. Also delicious. Finished with a couple of cannolis. Perfect little sweet treat. We will definitely be repeat customers.
(5)
Steve J.

This is one of the best new little restaurants in town. The proprietors are on site and working all the time... They've brought with them from NJ real Italian food and real NY atmosphere. Far and away the best lunch place in town and the home made mozzarella is amazing

Jane D.

Well, I'd give it 3.5 stars but that wasn't an option so only 3 based on a visit today. I think all the 5 star reviews might have led me to believe it was going to be a spectacular sandwich. It was... a sandwich. The end. Actually, I got the chicken parm sandwich and the chicken breading was quite burned in parts. The taste of burn outweighed the taste of chicken or the nice looking tomato sauce on the sandwich. The bread was nice and chewy and very fresh tasting. I thought $9.50 for this sandwich was pushing it. Maybe $7. I will say that while the sandwich was sort of disppointing based on all these rave reviews I see here, I was impressed with how clean the bathroom was. Not just clean, but CLEAN. Eat off the floor clean. No trash in the trash bin clean. No funky "oh no, you didn't" type of smell when opening the door, just clean, clean, super duper clean. I don't often comment of the bathrooms of places but this one warrants a mention. It ain't easy to keep a public restroom in a restaurant sparkling but they managed to do it. Kudos on that! I will probably try a different kind of sandwich next time around. Maybe I just caught them on an off day today.

Cherie S.

OMG, Mozzarella Fella makes me want to be Italian when I grow up! Amazing and inventive sandwiches with fresh mozzarella made in house daily. Fresh salads, antipasto, broccoli rabe, veal, eggplant, and...did I mention the meatballs? The sauces are bursting with flavor and homemade Italian goodness. Authentic, friendly and fabulous, don't miss this unique and cozy deli. And don't you dare forget the cannoli!
(4)
Renae L.

My husband and I went there for lunch. He had the meatball parm sandwich and enjoyed it. I had the potato, egg and mozzarella sandwich. The bread was very fresh but I felt like it needed a little something more, so I got a small order of roasted peppers to put inside my sandwich. That hit the spot. The food was delicious and the servers were all friendly and helpful. The restaurant was very clean. We would definitely return:))

Maya M.

Amazing! I was surprised and delighted by this find. The caesar and mozzarella sandwich were great.

Robert N.

Genius. The Stradivari of Sandwiches. The Picasso of Prosciutto. The Monet of Mozzarella. Best sandwich in the city. I just had the veal cutlet and broccoli rabe sandwich; it's killer. The best Italianate offering in Sarasota's lunch scene !!
(5)
Colin G.

This is the perfect example of one of the best kind of restaurants. Small, simple interior, locally owned. And had some of the best Italian food around. To a passer by it may seem like a little old restaurant nothing special. But that's what exactly makes it special. Today there are so many chains, like Chilis. There are hardly of these small holes in the wall left that can make it for decades. That's what makes the place special, as soon as you step in there's that classic somewhat cheesy Italian decor but you can almost tell that everything they make is special and fueled by passion. First I must say they have the best meatballs I've ever had and are a must have for anyone. The prosciutto sandwich I had as fantastic. The bread had a great crisp to it without being burned. There was plenty of meat on it and the cheese was spectacular. A small drizzle of balsamic oil on the sandwich helped add a tang to it. The prices are good and the food even better. You are also supporting a locally owned restaurant which is always great. 4 1/2 stars

Tina P.

Always delicious! I'm a picky Italian from up north so I tend to avoid anything claiming to be authentic for fear of major disappointment. This place is not only the real deal but it's friendly, tasty and my new favorite lunch spot in all of Sarasota. Whether it's to-go or a quick bite inside, I have never been disappointed.

Dutch V.

Outstanding food. This small sub shop has fresh mozzarella and the best subs, hot or cold, anywhere in Sarasota.
(5)
Kent W.

Pretty solid... I always get the chicken parm or veal parm sandwich, a broccoli rabe salad, and some gardenia. Everything is good, but not great. My biggest complaints are the lack of seasoning/flavor in their red sauce, and the fact that it's a little over priced. But I do enjoy this spot a lot.

Tricia F.

Mozzarella Fella, as good as advertised (#3 Fried Eggplant with roasted red peppers + fresh mozzarella is a trip to Italy). Crazy busy at lunch so may want to stop by for dinner, but whenever you visit, worth the wait! As Always, Tricia

Simply amazing - exactly what you need in a local fresh Italian lunch spot. And if you want to bring something home for dinner, you won't find a fresher, tastier option.

Visiting sarasota from NJ and found this place (thankfully!) on Yelp. Was just what we were looking for - grabbed a few sandwiches with the family and then headed over to Island Park to eat at the picnic area by the playground. We had the veal and broccoli rabe which I would highly recommend! Also the eggplant w roasted red peppers was very good. Kids got the meatball parm also a solid sandwich choice.

Tee W.

Well, my wife, twins, several friends, and myself returned after the amazing experience we had last time. We received the same stellar service we received the first time we tried it 2 months ago. We were lucky to go twice during our last trip to Sarasota, and have been craving it since returning to Michigan. Everyone enjoyed the various sandwiches, meatballs, and cannoli's we indulged on. One of the owner's saw our 1 year old twins there, came over, and asked if it was alright that they had some desert. She gave each one of them their own cannoli for free. The employee's here are some of the nicest and most genuine people you will ever meet. I watched as the various employee's interacted with various customer's, and saw that these people had relationships that they have been building. They obviously have "regulars" that frequent this fine establishment. I also noticed that the not so frequent customers get that same welcome feeling and attitude though. I could elaborate more on the food, but I don't feel the need. It is amazing. Everything is fresh, and you're bound to find something you will like. While we are not from the area, we have close friends that will keep us visiting Sarasota frequently. Every time I visit, I will make it a point to go at least once (probably way more) and become a "distant regular". Thank you for your amazing food and warm, welcoming attitudes. You have a business model that more businesses should adopt. See you soon.

I'm obsessed, I find reasons to drive by so I can get a sandwich. I've learned to order 2, so I have one for later. Excited they are open for dinner now, can't wait to try it. And everyone who works there is so nice.

Fantastic lunch! New favorite destination for husband and me! I had #4 and he had #20 with iced tea ( fresh brewed and lovely) and shared small antipasto! Took two half sandwiches home with 1/2 salad! Bread was fresh and mozzarella and prosciutto were to die for!

Susan R.

For a quick paced lunch place this place is absolutely 5 stars. My husband and I took 5 of our kids for lunch today and we were astounded at how great the food was. We tried 8 items and they were all wonderful. The stuffed peppers and rice balls were especially good. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. They worked very fast to get out our food even though they were swamped. We will be back for lunch again ( and some stuffed peppers to take home) before vaca is over.

8/2/2013 - Is there something more than 5 stars? My wife and I were vacationing in Sarasota (from Spring Hill, Hernando Co, FL) We looked on Yelp for a place to eat lunch and saw multiple 5-Star reviews for Mozzarella Fella. We figured, why not, that would be the first place to eat. Wow... did it set the tone for the rest of our weekend vacation. As soon as we entered, we were immediately greeted. We were chatting with Michael that we were out of town and that we drove all the way down there just to eat there. He was pleasantly surprised. He was proud to talked about what they had there. I ordered the #1: Mozzarella Sandwich, #3: Eggplant Sandwich for my wife, and we split a half order of calamari between us. You must order the calimari! It was very tender, not even close to being rubbery. My #1 was Freakin Awesome; however, my wife's #3 made be a believer. I'll admit, I've hated eggplant all my life. I tried my wife's eggplant sandwich and for once, I liked it. When the wife of the restaurant, Victoria, heard where we came from, she was thrilled that she threw in a few cannolis. Wow! My wife and I were enthralled. We decided that on our way back home, we will come back for more. 8/5/2013 Sure enough, we came back and it was better than ever. First off, we were greeted very warmly by everyone there and Michael even came around to shake my hand. Damn, that still impresses me. My wife and I ordered the Meat Lasagna (split), meatballs (1x order comes with 2 large meatballs), and of course, the those sweet cannolis. Oh wow, the lasagna was to die for and the meatballs were... let's just say we were too full to have more, but it was tempting. We got mozzarella sandwiches for our trip back home. As we got home, we had our early dinner and I said we should have bought two more. OVERALL Hands down, my wife and I were impressed with everything. The beautiful decor, the positive atmosphere, the friendliest staff, and the tastiest food. If we ever come remotely close to this place, you can guarantee that we will stop in again. Semper Fi!

Jeanne J.

Well, we were NOT disappointed to say the least! Great baby arugula salad with artichokes and grilled shiitake mushrooms, fresh and perfectly dressed. We also ordered a mozzarella & arugula sandwich, the bread was soft but still crunchy it was a hit with both of us. We agreed that when we have company visit we will go back and maybe just get a whole dinner to go. It was excellent. Snappy service and smiling help.great music selection too.
(5)
Brooke C.

We came here because of the great reviews and we love authentic Italian sandwiches. It was pretty busy and we got the tuna sandwich and the mozzarella sandwich. They were good but I wouldn't go back for them. The bread wasn't really great, it was soft not crispy. (My husband and I are from Italy so we have pretty high standards) We ordered meatballs as well which were yummy... They took a long time to come out and the staff brought us a few cannoli to make up for the time we waited. They were really nice!
(4)
Paige C.

Fresh Mozzarella! Amazing sandwiches here. Eat here. NOW NOW NOW! I would never have guessed that such an awesome Italian place could be found in such an obscure vacation location. Yes, the mozzarella is fresh. Yes, I asked my bf to bring me back a sandwich to Boston (and he did). Yes, I stuffed my face with it. And yes, it was still every bit delicious. I can't speak for much more than the sandwiches, but from scoping out other people's food---everything looked fresh and delicious. Don't pass this place by when you're perusing downtown Sarasota.

Tim W.

I'm updating my review for Mozzarella Fella. We ordered take out this time and when I arrived home the sauce on the sandwich was messy and all over the place. My wife just looked at me and said, Seriously? I mean it was all over the place. I handled the bag with care and carried it the exact way it was given to me from the time I left the store to the time I arrived home. The wrapping around the sandwich was wrapped really tight so it would have been impossible for me to have caused this. The sandwich was still good but I think anywhere else I would not have been happy. My wife's sandwich tasted bland and there was no flavor. Meat, Bread, and Cheese. She ordered the #10 and I ordered the #13. Also Mozzarella Fella is basically a sandwich shop/deli. With a tip jar present at the register and a place to leave a tip when you sign your receipt, they seem to be begging for a tip. It's a little tacky and kind of weird. If I wanted to be pressured into leaving a tip I'd go to a restaurant where I'm receiving some kind of service. I would still recommend trying this place and if I go back I plan to update my review.

We got two sandwiches the veal cutlet and chicken parm. The chicken parm was def better than the veal. Service was good sandwiches came out hot and fast. The decor is unique and goes well with the food.

John B.

C and I were really impressed with our sandwich ... a simple eggplant Parmesan sandwich, but it was simply outstanding. This is just a small, unpretentious sandwich shop, but really, really tasty. This is nothing like Jimmy John's or other fast food shops. This is like home made.

I haven't had meatballs this delicious since my grandfather passed away, and that was in 1996. I'm 100% Italian and from South Philly so that is all you need to know. Eat here or be sad forever.

The veal sandwich was very good. Their rice balls not in my favorite. Very nice people.

Heather C.

Amazing sandwiches! This is the exact kind of place that I go on yelp to find! We were staying in Sarasota for just a few days for a wedding and we would have never found this place on our own. After seeing the reviews I knew we should find this place and I'm glad we did! The sandwiches are amazing! I got the #2 which was fried eggplant, house made mozzarella and roasted peppers. It was definitely one of the BEST sandwiches I've ever had! My only complaint is that I might never get to eat here again! How about a second location in Manchester, NH??? Please?

I was in today for the first time and I had a number 7 which took me forever to decide what sandwich to order because they all sound delicious.... The sandwich was outstanding !! The atmosphere was like I was back in jersey and the staff was so nice and helpful, can't wait to go back ... Yummy

kimmy c.

The "Fella" is the BEST!!! It's NY-style, Italian home cooking done right. They have subs ( on REAL Italian bread!), salads and pasta specials. I'm vegan and most of the time it's hard to eat out. Not at Mozzarella Fella. I know they are known for the homemade fresh mozzarella I just ask them to hold the mozz on my sandwich... #16 grilled portobello add some broccoli rape, it is awesome. I love the arugula salad, and the pasta primavera. AND try the Lima bean soup when they have it ... DELISH!! Mozzarella Fella is more than just great food, it's the service as well. When you're there ... You feel like family.

Picked up sandwiches here for a picnic - homemade mozzarella, basil, tomato on a crusty Italian roll. Terrific! Also bought small container of roasted red peppers. They were awesome. I wanted to buy some broccoli rabe, but I didn't. Think I'll save that for my next trip to Mozzarella Fella. Excellent!

After seeing all of the 5 star reviews, my wife and I and two kids just had to go out of our way while on vacation to visit this place. Everything you're reading about the kindness and helpfulness of the owners is spot on. Everything you're reading about the quality, freshness, and flavor of the food is spot on. We tried a chicken breast sandwich as well as the eggplant sandwich and both were knockouts. We were there near closing time and felt absolutely no pressure to eat fast and leave. The meatballs are wonderful and the sauce, wow, chunky, zesty, sweet, perfect. The decor was great, a fresh look, and the bathroom was spotless. I'm a big stickler on cleanliness. If you twisted my arm and forced me to pick the least-positive thing about the place, it would be tough, but I guess I would say I wish the portions were a hair larger. The sandwiches weren't small by any means, but we live in a "foot long Subway" culture that unfortunately breeds ridiculous portion expectations. Also bear in mind, we had been exploring Sarasota all day, very active, and my lunch was on the smaller side, so having finished a sandwich and still being a little hungry, I should have simply ordered more. Another meatball or a little salad would have hit the spot. I don't want to give the impression I left starving. Kudos to the Fella!!
(5)
Sean D.

Ok. It's official. I'm hooked! I've had the mozzarella sandwich and the balsamic portobello wich! Both are fantastic! One of the best things about the Fella is the owners enjoy being there and having us in their establishment! After just a couple of trips, they know my name and we talk a little bit. That goes a long way. So does delicious food!!
(5)
Casey M.

Nice lunchtime deli. Limited outdoor seating made for good eavesdropping on the don and his two bodygaurds at the next table. Fresh mozzarella salad was a strong start, veal cutlet sandwich was good but I wouldn't rave about broccoli rabe like other reviewers - I'm sure thats more my personal taste and less the quality of food.
(4)
Jim H.

Is it possible that Sarasota now has an Italian sandwich shop (and more) as good as New York and Philadelphia? After 20+ years here, it is actually true and this is a fabulous addition to the SRQ food scene. It's a small place that seats maybe 20 people, tastefully decorated where you order at the counter and the food made-to-order is brought out quickly to you. A young man was making a fresh batch of mozzarella while we ordered from the pleasant and informative young women co-owner. We started with the special of the day; Fried Calamari @ $9.00 which was offered with marinara sauce that was sweet, spicy, very delicious or it's available with a buffalo sauce and bleu cheese. That sounded great but we opted for just some fresh lemons and marinara on the side. The portion was large, tender and couldn't have been more perfectly prepared. I had the Prosciutto sandwich ($9.00) with sun dried tomatoes, mozzarella, olive oil and balsamic. My wife chose the Veal Cutlet sandwich ($10.00) with broccoli rabe, sun dried tomatoes and mozzarella. Hell, we spent 15 minutes just talking about which sandwich was better. See the excellent pictures supplied by a previous reviewer; the food served us looked so good we just dove in rather than fiddle with the iPhone. Once we thought of it, the food was gone. There are 20 sandwiches offered including chicken, eggplant, turkey and beef all with creative fresh fillings. There is no substitute for fresh mozzarella; creamy and delicious. The bread is crusty and chewy with a soft interior. They don't brag that it's made in-house, but it must be, because it just couldn't have been fresher or better. They also offer catering which includes lots of hot items not on the daily menu, along with a number of meal sized salads and a great sounding Antipasto. If you work near this Main Street location, treat yourself to a memorable lunch or be a hero and pick-up dinner on your way home. There is a brief history of the owners on the menu that ends with; "The Calore family has always been committed to using only the freshest ingredients available to insure only the best results." Every word of that phrase is true. We must support this local place that takes Sarasota food to a new level. They currently have limited summer hours of 10:30 AM to 5:30 PM. Check this place out while it's still a bit of secret!

Since leaving NYC in 2010 I have avoided "authentic" Italian in Sarasota for obvious reasons. After hearing many rave reviews, I had to check this Fella out. My first impression was that everything looked the part. Mozzarella Fella was clean and vibrant with the Italian colors. My date and I decided to taste thru their offerings. We went with Mozz Salad, Eggplant Rollatini and the #19 Roast Beef sandwich. As I sat down facing the window, I had some intense sun shining in my eyes during lunch. It made eye contact a bit of a challenge and could be improved with some shades. The first course of Mozz Salad came in a to go box with 2 plastic forks and a plastic knife to share. The fresh mozzarella was good by NYC standards. The second course of eggplant rollatini arrived on a styrofoam plate to share with some additional plasticware. I paid little attention and devoured the dish. Once my date noticed the couple next to us had real silverware and plates, she asked for the same. We ended up getting silverware and 2 more styrofoam plates. The third course was a roast beef sandwich with house made brown sauce, sautÃ©ed onions and garlic. The garlic was strong, but I like garlic. The sandwich was really good overall. Overall, they pay a lot of attention to their food but the execution could improve. I'll definitely return for the food or just get carry out.

Tom M.

Sanwich shop done great. got the chicken parm sub. Probably the best I've every had,, thin cutlets, great sauce ( Even my sicilian grandmother would approve) on great bread. I will be back very very soon to try some more! Great, FRESH bread. Mozz, the real deal. Again, I grew up with a Sicilian grandmother! Atmosphere: Good decor, not a lot of seating, but + for hightop across the front window. Service: 5 stars, the owner was very nice, fast with the orders. My friend who is a regular, she had his special order memorized, she obviously takes the time to meet the clients. I went with 5 stars because I plan to be back literally as fast as possible.

Love this place. Fresh oven cooked subs. My favorite is the veal cutlet but it's fried so sometimes I'll prefer something lighter like the prosciutto with balsamic glaze. The sandwhiches are all I've tried but they're so good

Its not often that you have an amazing, flawless sandwich. The eggplant parm sandwich at Mozzarella Fella is delicious and flavorful. Crispy soft bread, roasted peppers, breaded eggplant. Its a great place. I've only been there once, but I am excited to go again.

I have been in Florida since since moving from Providence in 1999. Until Mozzarella Fella, I hadn't had a grinder in the South that I would ever order again. Mozzarella Fella is authentic as it gets - the people - the atmosphere and most importantly, the food! My go to sandwiches are the prosciutto, the fried eggplant, the calamari and everything and anything parm. If we need sauce, Vicki and Michael make the best! Their marinara, vodka and pesto are amazing - stop in and grab some sauce and pasta for your sunday dinner! We have Mozzarella Fella cater for us regularly... definitely a family owned, local gem. Reminds me of the amazing food we grew up eating from Federal Hill. We can't go to the fella without running into at least a handful of people we know. Great place to take the family or meet a client for lunch. Sarasota is growing up in the best way!

How good is Mozzarella Fella? It is outstanding. Whenever my family is in town (and since we live in Paradise that is quite often as I have a huge Italian Family) we take them to Mozzarella Fella. We eat great Italian food, and we have fun while we are there. The ambiance (italian music) and the Italian decor makes us all feel as if we are back in NYC or Brooklyn or Italy. The veal cutlets with Mozzarella and sun dried tomatoes are divine. When my vegetarian brother gets the egg potato and mozz cheese sandwich. Loves it. The pasta is always al dente which is not easy to achieve. Friendly, clean - the freshest of ingredients, and the result is true Italian food.

I had heard rumors of this place, but after Gym H's review I figured I better get over there and give it a try. It is in part of main street that has been a bit of a desert as far as food is concerned. One early saturday the other other week I stopped in and tried out things for an early lunch. There was a guy making the mozzarella up front when we walked in. He happily took our order while continuing to work. Friendly service, was a good start. I ordered the prosciutto and mozzarella sandwich and my DC went for the egg plant. A few minutes later our sandwiches came out. The bread was warm and crusty, and every thing looked great. Very fresh. First bite of each was very good. The only surprise was mine had a lot of a balsamic based sauce. Which really covered up the great flavors of the cheese and prosciutto. I fished out a part of the cheese without any of the sauce and it was great! Why cover up such a fresh lovely homemade bit of cheese with this sauce? And I didn't see this on the menu or I would have asked to hold it. But why do this especially when you pair it with some great prosciutto? So that was a little disappointing, but even with that the sandwich was great! Just could have been amazing. I think next time I'll get it with no sauce or the sauce on the side. The eggplant was very good and nicely put together and balanced. And I'm not even that big of an eggplant fan! So that is high praise coming from me. They sell the mozzarella to go as well. At a reasonable price, especially compared to some places (meaning you WFS). Next time I'm in the area I plan to pick some up and make some killer pizza. And actually they should consider putting in a wood fired oven and make some pizza with that great cheese. Or consider distributing it to some of the places in town that make artisanal pizza.

Fabulous eggplant parmesan sandwich, perfectly booked, good ratio of slightly crusty bread to eggplant. Very friendly & informative wait staff. They have a case full of prepared salads to choose from and a strong menu.

Honestly, after reading all the amazing reviews, I thought something was up. So we decided to try it for ourselves. And OH MY GOSH!!!!! This place REALLY is that good!!!! We shared so many things.just order whatever you like. You will not be disappointed. Also, the guys that work there are extraordinarily friendly. And cute too!!!! Well done "Fellas". Well done.

After being open for a month I decided to stop by again. I mean if you find a good thing why keep searching around for someone else to do better? While they still seem to fly under the radar the food is quickly becoming one of my favorite spots in Sarasota. The best part is that it is incredibly fast. So yes 5 stars for awesome food that is fast. It is togo but I wouldnt risk traveling with anything this amazing.. enjoy on the spot!

Strictly a SANDWICH SHOP, so don't expect anything else, but a very, very, good one, especially for Florida. Place always packed; may need to expand, not only the available seats, but menu as well; not everyone likes to eat with their hands, so maybe some pasta dishes wouldn't be a bad idea? Never been disappointed here.

I ran across this quaint Italian "deli" (it should be called a place of joy) last year. Everything I have ever eaten has been nothing but delicious. The owners come from New York and you can taste the love and passion for food in every bite. The short rib sandwich is my favorite, the meat is so tender it literally falls apart! Pair that with the fresh on-site made mozzeralla and it will blow you away. My husband will tell you square in the eye that they make the best calamari he has ever eaten, and he has eaten a lot of it! They have helped me out in times of sickness by cooking meals that my family enjoyed, and have given me a lot of laughs as they welcome you into their place with warmth and smiles. I love this business and the food and owners are the best there is.

Some of the friendliest, down to earth, real restauranteurs in this region with some of the BEST sandwiches, meatballs & cannoli around! Homemade mozz(that's literally made in front of you), the best bread in SRQ(I lived in Hoboken, NJ & from south Jersey-I know good carbs), the broccoli rabe is out of this world & the anitpasta is brimming with fresh goodies. I had a special one day that was brown gravy, a veal cutlet, prosciutto topped with fresh mozzarella on a hoagie roll....DIVINE! The hospitality from Victoria and her family is top notch! We're lifers!

This place is fantastic. First of all, the people are extremely friendly and eager to please and they brought water outside for my dog, which always goes a long way to making me a happy customer! :) Then there is the food, which is so fresh and DELICIOUS! You can tell they use very high quality ingredients and my Italian husband and I (who are very picky about food, but Italian food especially) were very satisfied! I highly recommend this place! I had the Italian Tuna sandwich and my husband had the prosciutto sandwich. Both were fantastic. Give the Fella a try! You won't be sorry! I can't wait to go back. Often.

Always reading about this store on FB... and not knowing who the owners were...or what their food was about...(doubting Brooklyn Boy here) On our way to Trader Joe's we were starving and decided that this should be our first stop in Sarasota .... Upon walking in.. I could "smell" the authenticity ...;-) Being a Brooklyn Boy... I know my Mozzi.. I lived a block away from Lioni King of Mozzarella on 15th Ave. in Brooklyn.. LOL.. Oh back to this review... So I walked up to the counter and saw this "Gigunda" tray of Antipasti it was calling my name...;-) as every thing else was..Oy Vey... I know this was going to be a tuff call... But then the owner appeared and offered some suggestions.. Try a #5 Veal cutlet .. with Broccoli Rabe,,She said... and Debi had the Eggplant Parm...(which is one of Debi's best dishes) we shared a small Antipasti.. and the rest was History... we took home another portion of the Antipasti for the road...as we began talking as NY'ers do.. "Where do you come from" ...?. Where do YOU come from.....? Like someone is going to come from a Better more "Brooklyn Place" than the other person... LOL.. Well it turns out that When I mentioned Dyker Heights and Bay Ridge .. BINGO... Bells and whistles went off... Seems that I was a fan of the Owners first Restaurant in Brooklyn "Club 101" for many years...Mike is an accomplished Chef... His wife Is an amazingly sweet, friendly and accommodating gal.. and what ever you taste their... your tongue will be happy that you did:-) So.. with the first bite... Debi say's.. (now mind you she is Italian and a good no make that Great Cook)..."Ummm.. His Marinara Sauce is GUUD.... so what does that tell you.? If a Brooklyn Italian Girl who Cooks.. Says someone else's "Sauce" is Good... Need I say more... Forget all the pomp and circumstance of the sidewalk cafe's in Sarasota.. Do your self a Favor...and head over to Mozzarella Fella... Tell 'em Larry TheWizard" Siegfried sent ya... You'll be glad you did.. ;-)

The owners I believe relocated from Staten Island, and the place fondly reminds me of Italian delis in northern cities, albeit a little smaller than I remember. The staff are just like I remember from other delis, they remember locals and repeat customers, but all are welcomed warmly. When you enter, you'll note the steaming sink directly ahead where fresh mozzarella is being made. We arrived at around 11:30AM and snagged a table, by the time our sandwiches were ready, every seat in the house was taken. The sandwiches took a little more time than others, but this was in no small part because they really are made properly. The mozzarella is of course fresh and excellent, but to me the real surprise was for a shop of this size how much bigger everything tastes because everything is made right. The grilled chicken in the grilled chicken sandwich is very clearly right off the grill; how did they cram one back there? The calamari is EXCELLENT, not over done, not underdone, how did they fit a fryer back there big enough for Calamari Friday? The bread is bar none the best bread used in a sandwich in downtown. Period. The market and deli aspects of the place strike me more as decoration than the place being a real market, and the cannolis were a little small for the price; all is forgiven with the quality of sandwich, though. I'm thrilled that these folks decided to migrate South, it's a wonderful addition to downtown; I'm not entirely sure I'll sit in next time, but who wants to sit in the middle of a deli anyway?

Holy cow!!! This place is awesome!! They deserve 10 stars at least!! The food is so fresh, awesome flavors, perfect fresh ingredients. I got the calamari sandwich, husband got chicken francaise sandwich, and for picky daughter they gave her a delicious chicken cutlet seasoned perfectly, with a warm roll with butter. The food was simply Devine and the most delicious food I have had in a long time. I want to try everything on that menu and I will keep coming back from PA to Sarasota until I do. Couple that with kind friendly warm service and ridiculously low prices for what you get........you'd be crazy to come anywhere near Sarasota and not give this place a try. I am not exaggerating!!

Great sandwiches with homemade mozzarella. I had a salami and mozzarella sandwich and my boyfriend had a meatball sub. Mine was very good, and his was delish. Will defintely be back.

I had to try this place after seeing all the 5 star reviews and it definitely didn't disappoint! Love the vegetarian options, the egg plant is cooked perfectly! The sandwiches are a great size and come on delicious fresh Italian bread! I'm getting hungry writing this review, think I'll need to make a trip soon :)

I want to give this place 5 stars because the couple who own it are so cute. But I don't go to restaurants based on the owners looks and personality...if I did I wouldn't get out often. I ordered the caprese sandwich. Basically fresh made mozzarella, arugula, tomato, olive oil, and basil served on toasted baguette. I had a hard time deciding because I really wanted their crimini mushroom and goat cheese lasagne and then there was the chicken mozzarella.. I customized the sandwich ..which is very typical of my type A food ordering. But I honestly can't tolerate much oil.. so a simple request - I requested the olive oil be on the side. Well they did in fact put olive oil on the side...but this was after they dumped a half cup of it on the bread. And then topped it off with pesto. I.e more oil. And then gave me oil on the side. I didn't send it back because quite honestly it's getting old. I don't want to send anything back again ever. It's exhausting. Not to mention rude to whoever I'm eating with as they have to eat alone as I wait for my reorder. Obviously the sandwich was way too oily. I didn't eat half of the bread because it was soaking in oil All in all the mozzarella was the bomb diggety, bread chewy and crunchy, and the rest very fresh ingredients. Nice simple italian style. I just wish they would have listened to me and omitted the oil per my request, as I would have enjoyed it more. I am not exactly sure what's gone wrong in the service industry lately but I think there is a hearing loss epidemic going around.

It's 11:31pm and I was just about to tell my husband that I can't wait to go to Mozzarella Fella this week and I realized I haven't even reviewed it. I relied heavily on Yelp when I lived in NY. So far I have found it's not so widely used down here in Sarasota, FL. We need to change that. How else are transplants like me going to hear about where to find the best meatball in town? Everything is fresh and made to order. They actually ran out of the special of the day my first time there, at 2 something, and I LOVE that! That tells me their food is made with care, not mass produced for volume. It's a real cutesy little place too. The staff was warm and engaging and made me feel like I had been a customer for years. It's nice to have a tiny slice of New York here in my "new" hometown.

I have a tendency of only wanting to review my favorite restaurants, and Mozzarella Fella falls into this category. I had searched "pizza" on Yelp and this place popped up with a solid rating. I was disappointed to find out that they do not sell pizza but was pleasantly surprised by the deliciousness of their sandwiches and hospitality. The owner offered us samplings of their fresh soup (I want to say lima bean soup) and proceeded to give us an individualized run down of the menu based on our preferences. Our sandwiches were cooked to perfection and to now surprise, the mozzarella was STELLAR! It was a perfect lunch for an afternoon in Sarasota.

Christine R.

Went with the husband and kids for a quick bite while we were downtown. We had a great time. The bread was fantastic and they cut all the meat for sandwiches right there. Not to mention HOME MADE MOZZARELLA!!! Prices were reasonable and the staff was very very friendly. The food was delish. We will definitely be going back!

Deborah J.

We took a trip from Tarpon Springs/Zephyrhills to Sarasota and stopped off to have something to eat. We had the antipasti, a veal sandwich and eggplant parmesan. All were absolutely delicious! Kudos to the chef! We are originally from Brooklyn, NY and picky about Italian food since I am Italian myself but this was worth the trip! We also loved the decor plus the owners were very friendly and accommodating. We will definitely be back to try the calamari.. :)

Amazing sandwich shop. Homemade Mozzarella is very good. Love Calamari Friday's, proper fresh calamari with a light breading.

Faye D.

Just had the baked ziti and meatballs and the hubby had the chicken parm. I also got to taste the broccoli rabe and it's delicious .. I can't even put into words how good everything was. The staff are super sweet. They make conversations with everyone who walks through the door... It's such a happy environment. Loved it!! Definitely worth driving 30 minutes :D

First time I went I got a prosciutto sandwich (#4). Went back and wouldn't order anything else because it was so good which isn't typically like me. Went back my fourth time and asked for a recommendation. Eggplant sandwich (#2). Just as good. Fresh bread, fresh ingredients cool atmosphere.

This place is delicious! I always order the #1- mozzarella, tomato & pesto- can't bear to order anything else because it's the best sandwich ever!! The bread is so fresh and amazing and the owners are so cool too :) def eat here! I have had many mozzarella/tomato/pesto's elsewhere- MF wins by far!

Where to start. My friends and I were in Sarasota for vacation and decided to stop in for lunch based on Yelp reviews. We all got chicken parm subs and they were absolutely delicious. Chicken was great and very well cooked, the bread was amazing, service was great. Our experience was so great that we decided to grab sandwiches again today before catching our flight. I called ahead and mentioned that fact and they had the sandwiches waiting for us on a reserved table. Phenomenal service and the subs were great again. This time we got the meatball subs, which were just as good. Definitely stop in to this place of you are in the area.

Everything from salad to sandwiches incredibly good. Fresh mozzarella made every few hours

As a recent NYC transplant, when I read excellent reviews about a new sub shop in Sarasota, I do not take it lightly. When I find out that the owner is from Brooklyn, I take it even more seriously. When I see mouth-watering pictures posted on their well-maintained Facebook page, I start making my plans to go. Everything I've been reading about Mozzarella Fella has been a rave, and I am very happy to report that I agree. It's a fantastic new addition to Main Street. My father (who is also a Brooklyn native) and I met up yesterday for lunch and arrived to find a packed house. Apparently it has not taken long for people to catch on to the new hot spot for lunch, but the line moved quickly and they were actually ready to take our order sooner than we'd made up our minds. Everything on the menu was appealing, and the case of lasagna, meatballs and various prepared salads was gorgeous, with each dish looking better and better. I was in the mood for eggplant and had (If I remember right) 3 different eggplant-based subs to choose from. I settled on the eggplant parmigiana sub and a half iced tea/half lemonade. My father was quickly sold on the special sub-of-the-day: veal cutlet with fresh mozzarella and marsala sauce. We placed our orders and went to sit at a 2-top to wait for them to be brought out to us. About 10 minutes later, our sandwiches arrived wrapped in deli paper. My drink was forgotten and I decided to just go grab a bottle of water from the fridge instead of re-ordering it. I came back to unwrap my sandwich, which turned out to be a mozzarella, arugula, tomato and basil oil sub instead of the one I'd chosen. It actually DID look pretty awesome, but it was not what I'd ordered so I brought it back to the counter and told the owner, who was very apologetic and said she'd correct it right away. A little while later, she brought my correct sub along with the mistaken one- and it definitely made up for the error that she let me keep it to bring home for my honey. (who, incidentally, was quite pleased) In the end, I decided to eat half of each which was a great consolation. More to try! Both subs were excellent. The mozzarella is definitely the standout ingredient- SO creamy and somehow light and rich at the same time. The eggplant was crisp and not overly breaded. The bread has the most perfect consistency- both chewy and soft with a toothsome crust. All that said, one bite of my dad's sub and it was quickly obvious that the special of the day is no joke. Seriously. Next time, I'll let the chalkboard decide what my order will be. WOW. This was unbelievable. The veal (which I don't normally order) tasted so incredible that any animal-cruelty-related guilt quickly subsided. Sorry vegetarian friends. Sorry cute little baby cows. I'm sorry that you are so delicious. It was tender, but with the most delicious, crispy, crust. The melty mozzarella on top dribbled down the sides and mixed into the savory marsala sauce with juicy, plump, sliced mushrooms. The crusty bread sopped up all of the extra sauce and cheese and worked both as a catchall and as a compliment. This was seriously one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. It was, however, totally messy. My dad and I agreed that if you decide to eat there, it would be nice to have your lunch served on a plate instead of wrapped in paper. A paper plate would be fine, but the mess that eating on paper makes was kind of annoying. Aside from the 2 little ordering errors with my overlooked beverage and my sub confusion, this place totally rocks. I am sure that they will get more and more efficient with the ordering and accuracy, but the food can't possibly get any better. I will absolutely and positively be back, and hopefully by the time I return, reviews like mine and the soon-to-be-countless others won't have made it completely impossible to get in. Bravo Mozzarella Fellas! Welcome to Florida!

All I can say is WOW!! OK...I am the first to admit I am REALLY picky about my cannoli so when I was offered to try one, I didn't hold out much hope but OMG! Victoria is THE cannoli queen!!!! So there was a huge plus before I even tried any of the other food (I got take out). The chicken cutlet? Outstanding. The eggplant? Outstanding. The salads? Same .. outstanding. I will definitely be spending my money there again. A side note ..... as I just had my knee replaced, I was using a cane ... Victoria graciously carried my order to my car without me saying anything. It's kind gestures as she displayed that puts the icing on the cake in my mind!!! THANK YOU Victoria!! Sarasota .... don't miss this place!!!!

I've lived in Sarasota for over 25 years and have had my fair share of sandwiches. Mozzarella Fella is quite possibly one of the best sandwich places I've ever had. And their fresh mozzarella lives up to its namesake. Small place, but a must eat!

Italian Cuisine

The immense popularity of Italian cuisine globally isn't unknown. You can find an Italian Pizzeria around every corner of almost every city in the United States. Not to forget that in every house, people enjoy mac and cheese as comfort food. But it would be wrong to believe that Italian food starts with pizza and ends with good pasta as this Mediterranean country has much more to offer other than these two dishes. In Italian Cuisine, there is a high use of fresh tomatoes, all kinds of herbs, great quality of cheese, all types of meat, seafood and fresh handmade pasta. Many find it hard to believe that Italians have been making noodles long back.

Italian and Greek cuisines are always mistaken to be same, but they are poles apart. The primary difference between the two cuisines is the use of cheese in most of the Italian dishes. Italians love to cultivate their own cheese and process them as per their food requirement. It is believed that some cheese is so expensive that cheese producers secure them in lockers.

If you are bored eating the same old pasta or pizza, you can try some of the authentic Italian dishes like Risotto, Polenta, Ribollita, Lasagna, Fiorentina Steak, Bottarga, Ossobuco, Carbonara, Focaccia, Arancini and Supplì. Another item which Italians love to relish every morning is a good cup of Italian Coffee. Once you taste a freshly brewed cup of Italian Coffee, you might not visit Starbucks ever again. Authentic Italian food is made with heart and soul, so go find a restaurant where you can relish Italian cuisine in your city.
