How have I been visiting St. Augustine several times a year for several decades are not known about…read moreD'Aleo Italian Deli until a recent visit? Let me tell you this small deli/restaurant is so worth your visit. It is conveniently located on US one south State Road 312. In a small strip shopping center. Turn when you see the McDonald's it's in the shopping center behind it. My dining companion and I split the The Boss sub for $11.99. Filled with generous amounts of Mortadella, Sopressata, Prosciutto and Provolone and topped with tomato and shredded lettuce, this sandwich is a total winner! It is enough for two people and probably could be shared between three or four people with some chips on the side. We had no trouble finding a table at 3:20 PM on a Saturday however, by the time we left, there was a line out the door! We chose to sample the dessert in order to cannoli for $2.99 and a huge piece of tiramisu for $4.99. This meal may be one of the best values in all of St. Augustine. According to the menu, the restaurant/deli opened in 1989. I'm embarrassed we did not know about it sooner. The desserts were wonderful and probably one of the best cannolis I've had in years crispy shell and delicious filling. There are so many more options to try on the menu and a wonderful range of pasta, sauces, and toppings to take home. There are a wonderful Italian cookies and frozen ravioli and stuffed shells too many to make a full mention here. We definitely will return and I certainly encourage anyone reading this to try it for themselves!

Had high hopes for this place, walked in around 12:45 and it was busy-ish. Menu is old school and…read moresmall. They were quick to get my order and get my sandwich out "the godfather" which honestly was small and lack luster. Was it bad, no. Was it anything to write home about no. I had also asked for yellow peppers and she tells me she doesn't have them and only has red peppers as she's walking away from me and never gets me any peppers. And it was supposed have oil and vinegar and it didn't seem like it did. Now this is why they don't get a good rating. I ordered a soda she asked me for a bottle or fountain I said fountain. She brought my drink and than never followed up for a refill. So I get up go to counter and ask for one the guy tells me "they are a $1 and than I'll have no problem getting it for you." So I say I was choking on their dry sandwich. I go to hand him a $1 and he says I have to pay the cashier and made me wait for her to take my $1. As I left I checked for any refill signs - NOPE!

The view was also stunning as my girlfriend and I sat in the upper balcony that also overlooked the water. The shrimp here was delicious. It came with 4 shrimps and they were seasoned deliciously. I absolutely killed my gnocchi and my girlfriend throughly enjoyed the pasta sauce and noodles. It came with a hefty portion that lasted enough for leftovers. My girlfriend also enjoyed how the tiramisu came with lady fingers on the inside. The bread service was huge! So many different options, so many spreads, all with so much flavor. It definitely fills you up but also has a lot of bread that can last for your main meal. Definitely worth the visit but I will share that the only con is that all of the red pasta sauce items include pork

The prices were decent and the atmosphere was good. Once again, thank you Montana for the great service and I hope to come again in the near future

Sometimes you go looking for breakfast and end up discovering a place that makes you question every…read morebreakfast you've ever had before it. That was French Pantry in St. Augustine. We chose this spot for breakfast/brunch and what a fantastic find. The atmosphere is beautiful and upscale without feeling like you need to whisper or worry that you're holding your fork incorrectly. I went with the Gruyère cheese and ham omelette, and honestly, I'm not sure how they managed to make eggs this light. The omelette was delicate, fluffy, and absolutely delicious. The kind of breakfast where you take a bite and immediately start thinking, "Well, now I'm going to have to compare every omelette I eat from this point forward." My wife ordered the spinach and mushroom quiche, which can only be described as decadent. Rich, flavorful, and the kind of dish that makes you slow down and appreciate what's happening on the plate. The atmosphere is beautiful, the service was spectacular, and the entire experience felt like a special occasion even though we were simply there for breakfast. French Pantry was a fantastic find and absolutely deserving of five stars. If you're in St. Augustine looking for a breakfast or brunch experience that feels a little elevated, this is one to put on your list.

That one's more grab-and-go bakery vibes, but this location is full-on fine dining. Spacious, elegant decor, the kind of place you'd actually dress up a little for. We got the chicken panini, bang bang shrimp, and pesto bucatini, and honestly all three were really good. Nothing fell flat. The bucatini had great flavor, the shrimp had that perfect crunch with a good kick, and the panini was solid comfort food done right. Service was great too -- attentive without hovering. If you only know them from Jacksonville, this location is a totally different experience. Worth the trip.
