    Chicken parm hero
    Alice X.

    Came here after numerous recommendations online saying it's one of the best pastramis in Orlando. I'm sad to say I'm disappointed. I ordered the pastrami on a hero and chicken parm--both as is/normal. The flavor profile of these two is just salt. The chicken in the chicken parm flaked off weirdly (sort of like fish) and texture was rubbery. The sauce on the parm was also pretty one dimensional. All you can taste in the pastrami was just the cheese/salt mostly. Idk if it's cause I'm spoiled from NYC pastrami but this wasn't for me. The staff is very nice though and walked us through how to order right when we arrived. There's also a lot of different Italian ingredients and desserts to buy. It's around $13-15 per sandwich so it didn't break the bank. Limited window seating, bar style with some parking in the back.

    Insanely delicious. I had the cutlet sandwich. Perfectly seasoned arugula and balsamic salad on top of a crispy set of chicken cutlets with fresh mozz. For dessert, a perfectly moist and soaked tiramisu. I had a mini cannoli and perfectly flaky lobster tail to take home and they hit the spot.

    Stasio's in the Milk District is hands down one of the best sandwich spots in Orlando! The chicken cutlet, egg, and cheese with a meatball was absolutely phenomenal. The chicken cutlet was incredibly juicy, packed with flavor, and cooked to perfection. I've tried chicken cutlet sandwiches all over Orlando, and this is easily the best. The fresh mozzarella is unbelievably fresh, and you can taste the quality in every bite. We also ordered a simple cheese sandwich for our baby, and even that was amazing. The bread was some of the best we've ever had fresh, soft, and full of flavor. Everything tasted homemade with high-quality ingredients, and it's easy to see why Stasio's has such a great reputation. If you're looking for authentic Italian sandwiches in Orlando, this place is a must-visit. We'll definitely be back!

    My wife and I really like this spot. Only thing bad is parking but food is good! We want to try the coffee and bagels it looked good.

    Beautiful space as soon as you walk in - very limited seating inside at a counter with stools so have a backup place to take it to if you can't sit. I ordered the "D" sub without the long hots, plus a small tiramisu and mini cannoli. They have a huge selection of drinks in their two coolers so lots of options to pair with! Fantastic sandwich, decadent desserts, and super filling. The staff was happy to explain the desserts, and while we were checking out, two separate groups walked in saying "we're back!" because they'd just come in the past week and loved it that much.

    The best authentic Italian spot in town! Walking inside of Stasio's brought me back to the small town outside of Philadelphia where I grew up. My Italian grandparents would take me to the market every weekend and we'd buy cannolis and deli meat and Italian cheeses to prep for different Italian dishes. My friend and I split the eggplant Parmesan sandwich. The sandwich was huge! It was definitely too much for just one of us so we decided to split it. It was served hot and had the perfect amount of sauce and eggplant and cheese. My friend told me that I had to try this pistachio cream cake and it was so flavorful and creamy and delicious! The next time I dine here, I would love to try one of their cold sandwiches! The service was very quick, and the staff was very kind and answered all of our questions!

    Walking into the store you feel like you've found this niche vibrant slice of culture, where everyone treats you with kindness and is direct. I come here all the time and have tried nearly everything on the menu, and food quality is the most important thing to me. Stasio's has something for everybody, I come atleaat 4x a month if not more for that Lou's special. But anything you order is gonna be a hit.

    You're immediately transported as soon as you walk in. With fresh ingredients like bread and cheeses, Stasio's is serving up delicious sandwiches that feel authentic to their roots. The steak sandwich is my favorite; it has the perfect amount of spice and zest. Bread holds up nicely without becoming soggy from the steak. Rotating soups, sandwiches, and deli items are also available. Associates kindly ask upon entering if it's your first time so they can give you the run-down. Parking can be a challenge at times, and the interior can feel tight and overwhelming if there's a crowd of guests waiting. Stasio's is a great addition to the city as we don't have too many bodega style delis around. I forgot I'm in Florida when I'm here.

    This place has been on my radar since it is always raved about amongst friends. Finally was able to check it out recently. Love that we were greeted by someone right away asking if it was our first time and to give a mini tour/rundown of options. Coffee, pasta, To Go dishes and massive subs - what a dream. It's one of those spots where you know you'll need multiple visits just to try everything. For this visit, we kept it simple and went with the Italian sub (toasted) and the chicken cutlet sandwich. Both were incredible - generously loaded with meat and cheese, super fresh toppings, and great flavor all around. The portions are no joke either, so definitely come hungry or be ready for leftovers. Great first impression between the friendly service and the quality of the food. Already looking forward to our next visit.

    Stasio's is the closest thing to a true Italian deli that Central Florida will get. Stasio's Italian Deli & Market has been around since 2018. Located in the Milk District and widely popular amongst locals. It's located at 2320 E Robinson St, Orlando, FL 32803. Started by a family from Connecticut, they've been able to create a lively atmosphere and experience for anyone who comes. They started Stasio's in 2018. I decided to finally go during my lunch hour and was delighted. For one, it was super busy and had a bunch of really cool grocery items that I don't think I've seen before. They also had a dessert case and a deli case. They also had hot items to be ordered and their breakfast items are served all day. While there isn't any real seating and the parking lot is an absolute nightmare to traverse, it was absolutely worth it for an $8 breakfast sandwich. I got the bacon, egg, and cheese on a sesame roll. It took a little bit for my order to come to me, although not long for what felt like 20-30 people inside of the building. I grabbed it, paid for it, and ate it elsewhere. The sandwich was delicious. Warm, freshly made, it's delicious on the sesame roll. The cheese pull, the cross section, just chef's kiss. Overall, I would rate it 10/10. I will be back, but I'm gonna give it some time because that parking lot and even turning into it is an absolute nightmare.

    For my friend's 30th birthday, I offered to pickup breakfast before heading into work. I told her that I'd go anywhere in the Greater Orlando area, just for her. What did she choose? Stasio's Italian Deli & Market! I have no complaints about Stasio's. The breakfast sandwich was so good, and it's different than what you'll get from most other locations in the area. There are lots of unique items to browse and learn about while you wait for your food. I was very interested in the honey from nomadic beekeepers. Maybe everyone else is familiar with this, but I'm looking forward to trying the honey they sell. Stasio's. You will see me again. For sure.

    Ok Stasio's is one of the most packed mini food markets slash small eateries I think I've ever seen.. Parking is rough to say the least, so be ready for your mission of finding parking then getting in and out. Thankfully I have a teen now who can assist with that. I let him pick a sandwich out to see what all the fuss is and he chose the chicken cutlet. The sandwich's are huge and he shared a bite with me and his brother. I wasn't to hungry so just went with their latte. It was decent and milky like requested. I think my son appreciated this spot though and it was worth it for him. I on the other hand was still just stuck on the fact of how popular they are and in complete wonder of how we were able to get out in one piece.

    I cannot believe it took me so long to get here, but I FINALLY had a sub from Stasio's, and it did not disappoint! I had no idea they had so many fun Italian goods to shop for - I need to come back and buy some pastas and Olive oils. Definitely a great spot to pick up some gifts! Despite being pretty packed for lunch, we were served very quickly and our subs came out fast! I went for the classic Italian sub, and it was everything you want it to be - great amount of meat and cheeses, soft bread, great toppings. The value is great - I was able to save half for later. The store was busy, efficient, and felt like a true little Italian store ambiance from up north. I can't wait to come back and try more of their menu!

    Does any delivery service pick up here?

    I'm pretty sure that you can call in a pick-up order. Unfortunately, they do not offer any delivery apps.

    Is there a gluten free menu?

    I don't think so. They are a very traditional Italian deli and marketplace. Give them a call and ask them.

    Do they have fresh pasta you can take home?

    They do have fresh pasta. It's in the case next to the deli counter. It's imported from Italy and the best pasta!

    What are the days and hours of operation for this restaurant ? I can't seem to locate this information anywhere. Thanks :)

    So they offer gluten free?

    The bread was delicious , but I did not see any mention of gluten free.

    So are there no tables or booths that u can sit comfortably ? I can't bring my 92 year old mom in and ask her to clime up into a bar stool and sit at a counter. What r the options for older folks to sit?

    Only counter seating, currently. There are a few rows of food bags, meats, cheese, and sweets to go for purchase. I recommend take out if you're looking for a table to sit and eat.

The Vibe: From the outside, the shop is pretty unassuming, tucked into a strip mall--but that's often where the best deli spots are hiding. When we walked in, we were immediately greeted by a busy lunch rush and a fast-paced New York deli vibe, with staff cranking out sandwiches left and right. Always a good sign. What We Ordered: * Hot Rachel * Classic Italian * 1/2 lb pesto macaroni salad * 1/2 lb redskin potato salad We took everything home for lunch and... Every single thing was delicious. Sandwich Highlights: The Hot Rachel was exactly what you want from a deli sandwich--tender pastrami, melty Swiss, tangy slaw, and toasted rye all working together perfectly. Stacked high and full of flavor. My husband's Classic Italian was also fantastic, loaded with meats and that classic deli balance of flavors. Both deli salads were great, but the pesto macaroni salad was the standout--creamy, herby, and packed with flavor. We're honestly so excited to have discovered a great New York-style deli less than 10 minutes from our house. Safe to say we'll definitely be back soon to work our way through the rest of the menu. Pro tip: Don't skip the deli salads--grab one or two to share with your sandwich.

We do not live close to them but we will always stop when in the area. When we do visit, it looks at through many people shop here for their weekly items, as they seem to know the employees but then there are some such as us, that come for that special item. If we lived closer, we would buy a lot of items here more frequently. The first time my wife and I stopped in, we ended up talking to one of the employees, who was so nice, gave us his recommendations, and even offered us a sample of the Cavallari Chicken Salad. Immediately sold! It was so good, we turned around and ordered the large tub. Their chicken salad is one of the best I have ever had. It is full of chicken, celery and onion. The other item my wife always has to pick up are their Italian cookies. They are from a local baker, and are so delicious. Look for them near the register.

This leads to the back deli. It is cramped, but not terrible. A couple was in front of me. I could tell by the demeanor of the gentleman that they had been there a while already and the woman was asking multiple questions of the staff. No big deal. A little annoying, but some people are just talkative. This goes on, an estimate of say five minutes. Five minutes of a woman asking questions of the male staff member as the young woman staff member chimed in with information or an answer. At no point during this time did either of them acknowledge that someone was waiting or anything. No eye contact. Nothing. Finally the couple is done. The young woman behind the counter asks what I want. I order. In the middle of her slicing one of the deli meats, another customer comes up and asks for a pound of the meat she was currently slicing. Customer service will tell you to take care of customers in the order of arrival. Not according to this place. No, she decided to skip over me and service someone else. I understand that it was probably easier that way - given you might have to clean up between meats, or whatever else. And that's fine - IF YOU COMMUNICATE with the customer. The lady ordering the meat apologized. For reasons? It wasn't her fault. I appreciate it, but unnecessary. Finally after waiting for a longer time, the young woman behind the counter apologized for the delay. There never should have been a delay. Plus the sandwich was lackluster. I try to avoid big chains. I like small businesses. But when you treat people like this; why should I return?

First, the staff deserves credit--their energy and kindness were 10/10. The person I interacted with was friendly and welcoming. The food itself was good, but I was disappointed that my order was made incorrectly. I specifically asked for only tomatoes and pickles on my burger, but it came with cheese and a sauce. Luckily, I was planning to eat just the patty, so I was able to rinse it off, but if I had intended to eat it as a regular burger, it would have completely ruined the meal as the bun was covered in the sauce. My sub was excellent, and I appreciated the staff's sauce recommendations. However, I was surprised that the homemade sauce came with a $1.10 charge for each side of sauce--that feels pretty excessive. To make matters worse, I didn't even receive one of the sauces I paid for. I understand they are homemade but it is a 1.5 oz container... My biggest disappointment, though, was the chips. It may sound minor, but when a meal is priced and advertised as a complete meal, you'd expect a reasonable portion. The "side" of chips was literally about seven whole chips' worth, mostly crushed into pieces. It was especially disappointing when compared to the portion of fries. Overall, the food has a lot of potential, and the staff was fantastic, but the incorrect order, extra sauce charges, missing sauce, and tiny chip portion really took away from the experience. My advice: upgrade the chips so you actually get a side, double-check your order before you leave (even if there's no one else in there) , and be aware that the sauces cost extra.

    Everything I expected from an Italian market and more! This was my first time here and had heard…read moregreat things. So I was really excited to try a few things! The market is honestly huge and I'm pretty sure anything you were looking for they'd have. But what I was really was there for was to try their chicken parm sandwich. And it was delicious. The flavor was amazing, the sauce was tasty and the cheese melted right off. It was so good I ate the entire thing. And trust me it's a HUGE sandwich. I also tried 2 of their cookies and they were so soft and melted right in my mouth. They even had a coffee shop inside too. What I loved about this place is they had a whole seating area outside to eat. It was shaded and fans blowing so it was decent out there. Everyone there was super nice and can't wait to go back! Wish they had another location near the parks. Because it is a little far away for me. 5/5

    Saw an ad for D'Amico & Sons and decided it was worth the drive over to the Oviedo Mall for lunch…read more I'm glad I made the trip. The market occupies a storefront outside the mall with plenty of convenient parking nearby. Once inside, I was impressed by how spacious it is. There's a bakery, deli, gelato case, and an impressive selection of prepared foods including lasagna, spaghetti and meatballs, Alfredo, and other Italian favorites. Shelves are also stocked with imported pastas, sauces, olive oils, and other specialty items, making it just as much an Italian market as a lunch destination. I arrived around noon and found a short line at the deli counter. Even during the lunch rush, I had my order placed and was waiting in the pickup area within about five minutes. Now for my own self-inflicted mistake. I walked in fully intending to order the Sinatra with mortadella, but somehow had a complete brain freeze and ordered the Sparano instead. I didn't realize my error until I unwrapped the sandwich at one of the outdoor tables. Oh well...it looked too good not to dive in. The Sparano is built on a beautiful artisan roll with basil pesto, a cold chicken cutlet, Prosciutto di Parma, fresh mozzarella, roasted red peppers, arugula, and a balsamic drizzle. Flavor wise, it was excellent. Every ingredient tasted fresh and high quality. My only criticism was the overall texture. The sandwich ate a little dry for my taste, and I think it could benefit from a touch more moisture, perhaps a little extra balsamic, olive oil, or another spread to better complement the hearty bread. The roll itself was exactly the type of rustic Italian bread I normally love, with a chewy interior and beautifully crisp crust. Combined with the generous size of the sandwich, however, it became a bit of a challenge to take a proper bite. By the end, the roof of my mouth had definitely lost the battle with that crust. Even so, the quality of the ingredients and the generous portion made it an excellent value. Next time I'll actually order the sandwich I intended, the Sinatra and if it's as good as it looks, I have a feeling I'll be making this trip more often.
