il Caffè di Mary In Napoli

07/02/2025: We went to this sandwich delicatessen, attracted by the display full of products that promised high quality and a wide selection. The place is small but well-stocked, with a display that encourages purchasing. We decided to try a cereal bread, stuffed following the advice of the girl at the counter, who proved to be very kind and helpful. However, once tasted, the initial enthusiasm faded. Unfortunately, the quality of the products did not meet expectations: The cereal bread had an anonymous taste, excessively sweet for a savory sandwich, resulting in a lack of balance. The Asiago was completely flavourless, lacking the creaminess and tanginess you would expect from a good cheese. The escarole were cold, poorly cooked and not very tasty, giving the sensation of an ingredient thrown in there without particular care. Given the prices and the careful presentation, we would have expected greater attention to the quality and flavor of the sandwich. Another aspect that left us perplexed is the lack of a clear price list, particularly for cured meats, sold without a visible indication of the cost per kilo. Greater transparency would be desirable. Ultimately, the place certainly has potential, thanks to the variety of products and the kindness of the staff, but the gastronomic experience did not live up to expectations. If they improved the quality and clarity of pricing, it could be a really interesting place.
