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!

They have hot and cold subs, paninis and flatbreads. I had the Boss Man hot sub with ham, turkey, Swiss cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, jalapeños and mustard. My son had the roasted turkey cold sub with provolone, lettuce, tomatoes, onions and mayonnaise. We got the order to go but the dining area is large and decorated with Americana. The employees are friendly and on top of things. Pub subs get all the hype in this town but I like Old City better.

It's tucked away in a strip mall, so it definitely wasn't what we expected, but don't let the location fool you, this place is a hidden gem. The inside has a fun, laid-back beach vibe, and the staff made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. Our server was super friendly, attentive, and took great care of us. We ordered the redfish special, which was blackened Redfish, topped with crawfish étouffée, served over a grit cake. Everything on the plate worked together perfectly, and the fish was cooked just right. We also had the homemade chips with salsa and beer queso. The queso isn't your typical Mexican-style queso, so don't go in expecting that. It's a rich, flavorful beer queso, and I actually really enjoyed the different twist. It paired perfectly with the fresh, crispy chips. They also have a cute little bar that looked like a great place to grab a drink. We'll definitely be back to work our way through more of the menu. If you're in the St. Augustine Beach area, this spot is absolutely worth checking out!

Perhaps just an off day for the cook. we won't be back- too many other food choices in the area.

Located just past the 207 exit off 95 it's a pretty little drive, and it looks like we are getting a great new restaurant at the golf course (FINALLY!). My husband and I went yesterday evening for an early dinner and were blown away by the food. We started with the homemade fish dip and chips, the dip was creamy and awesome and I cannot get enough of the fresh made chips. I had the roast beef and provolone sandwich and it was the best I've had in Jacksonville or St Augustine. I'm actually taking my son over for lunch on Tuesday so he can try it. I got the cucumber salad as my side and loved it, its a family recipe of the extremely talented Chef. Hubby got a shrimp sandwich made with our local fresh shrimp on focaccia and I stole a bite-awesome! I cannot wait to see what comes out of this kitchen as they get more settled in.

The turkey croissant... magnifique! Truly one of the BEST croissants I have ever tasted. So buttery, so flaky, so perfectly delicate that every bite felt like a little French love affair. C'est magnifique, mes amis! And then came the quiche... Ohhh, the quiche! Rich, delicate, savory, and absolutely divine. The kind of food that makes you close your eyes for a moment and whisper, "Mon Dieu... where have you been all my life?" The French Pantry isn't simply a café--it is a little escape to France without needing a passport. The flavors, the atmosphere, the pastries... everything made me feel as though I had discovered a charming hidden café somewhere along the streets of Paris. Bravo, The French Pantry! You stole my heart, conquered my appetite, and made me fall hopelessly in love with the croissant. Très magnifique! I will absolutely be back!

I really wanted to enjoy Paladar Cuban Eatery & Bakery, but unfortunately, this was one of the most…read moredisappointing Cuban food experiences I've had. I ordered the Media Noche sandwich, which is normally one of my favorite Cuban sandwiches. I paid almost $17, and for that price I expected something really good. Instead, the sandwich was disappointing in both flavor and quality. I've had much better Media Noche sandwiches for a fraction of the price. Then came the café con leche--almost $7! At that price, I honestly felt like I was paying more than I would at Starbucks. For a Cuban restaurant and bakery, café con leche should be one of the things they absolutely get right, especially when charging that much. To make matters worse, the food kept repeating on me all day, which made the experience even more unpleasant. I don't mind paying higher prices when the quality, flavor, and experience justify it, but this simply didn't. Nearly $24 for a sandwich and café con leche that left me disappointed is way too much. Unfortunately, based on my experience, I would not recommend Paladar Cuban Eatery & Bakery.

Look in the parking lot for the food trucks and a covered area with some tables and chairs. That's it! Food trucks were serving breakfast and lunch fare, we went with one of each: breakfast sandwich had egg, bacon, avocado - YUM. Also had the Grilled cheese with a cheese blend and some kick to it, but not overly hot just the amount of zing to be really good. That brown sugar hot sauce is very flavorful, but watch out - it does drip so get plenty of napkins. Great view, we sat at the counter that overlooks the bay and had a lovely lunch.

We both ordered the small French dip. We waited awhile for our food, as the eatery was definitely under staffed. A pervasive problem everywhere on the East Coast. Talk about major disappointment upon receiving our food. The bun was not only un toasted, it was COLD and HARD. There was nothing right about this sub. Too much bread, dry meat, and the ratio of ingredients was completely off balance. The saving grace was the aus jus, and even that was nothing special, But at least it provided the moisture needed to get the bread down. Wow, major disappointment.
