    I would never have tried this little place but co-workers assured me it was good. And they weren't wrong! It doesn't look special on the outside but they make a mean sub. The bread is soft and delicious. The staff is lovely and the prices are great. I highly recommend this hidden gem.

    The Worker in a wrap, so good

    This place is a real deal homemade sandwich spot literally like your mom would make. Bread is so fresh and the meats are stacked to the sky! Get your favorite sandwich all the way and enjoy! We go there weekly because they are truly the best sandwich spot in Clearwater/St Pete/ Tampa

    Moms Chef's Salad

    We came by to try a new sandwich shop while in the area. It is a bit small inside with a few tables. I am glad we got there early. We ordered at the counter a cuban and a chef salad and drinks are all in cans and bottles. I thought the salad was a bit small for the price but did have a nice amount of meat and cheese. The cuban sandwich did have pulled pork and was pretty good. They stay busy with many take out orders. Overall it was ok. A fun restaurant celebrating 40 years.

    This place is close by where I work and have been there twice so far, both times great. The first time I had the Mothers Special and this time the Worker, both were 8" sandwiches and both nicely packed with the goods. However, ordering the Worker I skipped the mayo and forgot to add oil and vinegar instead, a bit dry but that was my bad. Reading some of the other posts I need to order the meatball next. It's my Wednesday lunch trip. As far as service, there's three behind the counter taking care of business and quick to fill orders. Prices are fair with 12oz can drinks. Beware, they do close at 2pm.

    Your Mother's Special

    We stopped in for lunch on a Saturday after doing some Yelp research, well worth it! Simple but satisfying menu options, all fresh and made to order, fast and friendly service. Small but clean interior seating so you can sit and enjoy your lunch or take it to go.

    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.
