    Doesn't look much when you past it but please do not miss an opportunity to try this little place. We stopped here after a long 4 hour drive and didn't know what to expect. They have boars meat which is quality stuff. I ordered the chicken Philly and it was one of the best I've ever had. The portions were manageable and reasonable. The chicken was tasty and didn't taste funky. It was just amazing. My aunt who had their Lightning BLT special was amazed at how good her sandwich was- she ate the whole thing. It was fantastic. The staff were all very friendly too and the chef/manager. Great all around!

    a sandwich and a cup of coffee

    Came to the shop at 1:15pm to get a BLT Croissant, blueberry muffin, and coffee, $16.04. While waiting I went to get my coffee and it was only half cup left plus not to mention the coffee was already cold, I asked the waitress if they would make more and she said no as they are closing at two and didn't offer no refund or something else in exchange. Food was good, service not so much. Ambiance was calm with soft music in the background and not crowded.

    Side of Pasta Salad - pretty dry

    The Local Deli offers a variety sandwiches, salads, and soups. I like that they offer specials throughout the week to make lunch a little more affordable. The specials are usually around $10 and include a side item and a drink. If you want a full meal that isn't on special you're looking at around $14-16. The sandwiches are fine. The meat/cheese is a good quality and most of the bread is good. They don't seem to take kindly to substitutions so if you're particular you may want to build a sandwich from scratch. The sides to choose from are potato salad (quite dry), pasta salad (extremely dry), cole slaw, chips or pickles. The pickles are good but almost seems weird to order 3 pickle spears as your side. They typically have 3 soups to choose from each day. I've only tried the chicken pot pie soup which basically tastes like the inside of a chicken pot pie. I would have loved a piece of puff pastry on top for the full chicken pot pie effect. They have a variety of soft drinks and offer sweet and unsweetened tea as well.

    Usually don't feel compelled to write reviews but best breakfast sandwich I've had and those potatoes

    Piled high Boars Head turkey sandwich. Delicious!

    I have to say, I'm an easy sell when it comes to local delis like this one. Serving up fresh Boar's Head meats, my sandwich was fantastic and hot the spot! You can choose from a variety of different types of sandwiches or go rogue and create your own. In typical deli fashion they also have soups and salads. The meat on my custom built sandwich was stacked high! The service was friendly and prompt. First time check ins on Yelp gets you a free combo!

    Citrus Turkey Sandwich

    Excellent!! I have had the Citrus Turkey Sandwich & Southwest Salad. Both were packed with flavor. The employees are very helpful and knowledgeable on the selections, also very friendly. Everything is fresh made on the spot and it's reflected in the taste! Definitely give this one a try!

    I'm a business traveler, and the office I'm visiting is close to this restaurant. I ordered the combo special-half sandwich and soup. I decided to go with salami and ham on my sandwich and chilli for the soup. The sandwich was great! Lots of meats and veggies, so was very pleased. The chilli wasn't my cup of tea. It didnt have as much meat in it as I'm used to. The shop is clean and the workers were very nice. Soup and sandwich combo was $9.35, which I feel was good for the amount of food I got.

    Egg white Turkey breakfast wrap.  Added spicy pepper. It comes with home fries, but I didn't get it. Healthy and light. Delicious!

    This last time we were in Largo Fl, we happened across sweet little Colella's Italian Deli on East…read moreBay near Starkey. They have lots of sweets. We stocked up on cookies like those anise twists and the powdery ones we call butterballs. They have some ready-to-eat hot foods including large tender tasty meatballs. Stuffed cold sandwiches, too. We found jars of sport peppers for our home-made Chicago dogs! This is a great find!

    We are totally IN LOVE with this little top secret Italian deli/market & cafe OuiOui…read more They do a lot of catering, make their own SAUSAGE & sauces AND bake all their own breads, hoagies, cookies, desserts etc., right here on site. We are still working our way thru the menu, but all the sandwiches & calzones we have had so far, including the mufalatta have been incredibly delicious OuiOui. We also ordered fresh loaves of breads to go. Picked them up the next morning. You have to order in advance for the fresh loaves of the top secret bread, as they run out quickly daily. When you go in the morning soon as they open at 10am, the place smells so good like fresh made bread, bc they are baking this amazing super unique top secret bread every morning. If you go soon as they open at 10am & get any of their subs, you will get them with the bread still warm from the oven. Their bread is so unique, I have never had any bread like theirs. It's super delicious, crispy on the outside almost like a rice flour crispy texture, but the inside is like a chewy Italian bread. It's Indescribable! It's so unique and so amazeballs on their SPICY ITALIAN SANDWICH OMG :)... Their Spicy Italian Sandwich also has this very yummy spicy mixture of peppers on it WOZA!!!! I can't even begin to tell you how delicious this sandwich is, as I have now had it 3 days in a row OuiOui. Every place we have ever lived there is always this one place we discover that becomes "our place" this is that place. It's that special OuiOui. They also make a sausage, a pepperoni & an eggplant calzone, with this same super top secret bread they make. We had both the sausage & the pepperoni, they were both delicious, but the winner for us was def the pepperoni WOZA! :)... We took the "grab & go" one out of the coolers, took it home, warmed it up in the oven, it was so freakin delicious OMG! The pepperoni is stuffed with quality moz cheese, the pull on that cheese was amazing! The best calzone we have ever had by a LONG SHOT :)..,, Unfreakinbelievable OuiOui. I know that the photos are not showing up on the feed as they should. My phone is under surveillance & is still being hacked constantly I'm changing my passwords several times a day so you will just have to go to my page to see my photos. I'm working on the counter surveillance measures now. In the meantime, I still have to eat daily, so I'm going to keep Yelping the yummiest foods possible, and who ever is hacking my phone daily, putting me under constant surveillance, must truly believe I'm so very close now to discovering the top secrets of the entire food world. I hope they're right. Because I know I just discovered one. And it's Colella's Italian Deli, their top secret bread & their Spicy Italian sub sandwich they make with their super unique top secret bread. One of the best things I have ever eaten in my life. Added to moi lists of Best Bakeries, Best Italian restaurants, fave restaurants in the Tampa area & in the St Petersburg area. If this place remains "Top Secret" it's totally fine by me. Secrets this great must be guarded.

    I made the mistake of going to Mazzaro's on a Saturday afternoon. I didn't realize they closed at…read more2:30 p.m., and that is 100% my fault. I arrived around 2:20 p.m. and was let in by a worker at the front door, who told me they were closing shortly and suggested I head to the deli first if that was what I wanted. Once I walked in, however, a cashier yelled to me that they were closed. I was a little confused because I had just been let in by a worker who knew I was coming inside. From there, the experience felt a bit chaotic. There were quite a few people in the store, and I felt like the workers were very displeased by my presence. I honestly felt like I was a bother. I completely understand that I arrived close to closing, so I tried to be respectful of their time and rushed through the store to grab a few items. I had driven an hour to get there, so I wanted to at least make the most of the trip. When I went to check out, I initially got in one line, and the cashier was finishing up with the customer already there and directed me to another line, so I followed her instructions. I had a basket with my items and wasn't sure if I was supposed to empty it myself. There wasn't an obvious place to leave the empty basket, and the cashier never indicated that she would take it from me. I apologized and explained that it was my first time there. She told me that next time I should come during the week so I could browse more. As I was leaving, I noticed so many people trying to enter the store and being turned away because it was now past closing. That made me think Mazzaro's may want to reconsider its Saturday hours. They are clearly a very popular and well-known store, yet being open from only 9:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. on Saturdays and being closed on Sundays makes it difficult for people who work typical Monday-Friday, full-time hours to visit. I take responsibility for not checking the hours before making the drive, and I understand that the employees were probably ready to go home. However, I still think there is a difference between enforcing closing time and making a customer feel unwelcome. Unfortunately, I did not feel warmly greeted or welcomed during my visit, and it put a damper on the entire experience.
