This place has been on my list for a long time. Finally got the opportunity to stop in and I can’t wait to go back to Tampa just to stop here again and stock up on some delicious Italian foods and house made sausage. They’ve got a deli for fresh sandwiches and salads plus loads of specialty products. So good!!
Well this is our first time in this little gem of a grocery store, meat market, and restaurant. We got 2 cubans, 2 devil crabs, yellow rice with chicken in it, and macaroni salad with ham in it.
The freshly made Cuban bread on the sandwich was so yummy!!! I would highly recommend this little place. The devil crab was really really good.
I also found that they make crab sauce for spaghetti when it looks very similar to what we call crab shallow. I am going to buy some of that next time I go there.
Though I live an hour away I love coming here. Been doing so for years. I bring my 88 year old mother and we go shopping, The palomilla steaks are outstanding and always made just right. Ask for the extras left and you have great pieces for stew. The bacon wrapped filets are also great and at best price i have ever found. We also get all of our spices, chorizo and ham. There is always a wine to find and bite to eat if you are hungry. Best of al the service is always warm and helpful. I just wish I lived closer.
I absolutely love the deli it’s like being back in New York. It smells of the garlic cheese soon as you walk in meats love it now that I’ve moved to the other side of Florida. I can’t find a decent real deli.
OMG the best deviled crab I've ever had and I'm going on 60 and lived in Tampa all my life I've even bought deviled crabs off the back of that guy's bicycle who wore the white safari hat can't believe I've never been to this place I've always gone to Cacciatore brothers and theirs no comparison hands down the Son's are better on quality, quantity and taste
Chock-full of delicious Italian food items! So many pastas and cheeses and wines and deli items and meats! It was a happy place this morning with a line at the door 10 minutes before open. Went for 3lb. of Italian sausage to cook up with our traditional Christmas Shells!
Food was good, staff behind deli counter kind of rude. Was the only one waiting and they just kept blowing me off. I left the counter because of this came back a second time still ignored me until I made a jester and one of them made a comment about taking a number. I’m the only one standing there. Finally got waited on. How much business do they lose with this attitude??
Very good food. Don't worry about the ladies behind the counter being rude. They really aren't. It's just there way and once they get to know you they're really nice. Enjoy.
Very impressive, love the variety of stock they have from Italy and Spain, large meat counter and deli. Helpful staff
A Tampa icon. It's a deli, restaurant, and grocery store. Lots of choices for Italian and Latina foods. There can be a little bit of a wait to get your food order. Everything is done at the counter. The food is top notch. The deviled crab has real blue crab all made in house. Cost for a sandwich and deviled crab will cost you about $12.
Absolutely the best Breaded Palomilla steak and the Italian sausage. Try some! I drive from Port Charlotte to get them.
I drive all the way from Busch Blvd I love the devil crabs and I just got a Cuban sandwich from them Thanks
Many delicious items on the hot bar, also a huge variety of olives and cheeses. Don’t forget to stop by the deli case and get some Palamea steak to cook for dinner, absolutely delicious!
I grew up in a place with an Italian shop on every other block then came to Tampa where it is rare to find one. This place made me feel like I was back home. You will find Italian goods you cannot find at any other store here. I am making this place a part of my regular stops from now on.
