    Moms Chef's Salad
    T C.

    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 is a childhood favorite of mine. The sandwiches / subs are amazing. The bread they use is English muffin based , so yummy and delish.

    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.

    Can we talk about the cheese room? it's one of the largest in Florida and also my favorite place…read moreever! They have over 300 artisanal, imported and domestic cheeses, I find something new every time I go! The ambiance is what makes it special to locals, it feels like stepping into a traditional Italian market and it's hard to find elsewhere in Tampa. Definitely a staple for St. Pete! The market is almost always busy, so go right when they open or later in the afternoon on weekdays or you'll be standing shoulder to shoulder and wait 15 to 30 minutes, but honestly that time is perfect for browsing everything! My go to orders are the Mortadella Pistachio and the Fig & Pig. They are $12 each, and yes a bit pricey but the freshness and quality make it worth it.

    Wow! What a fun place to check out. There's ample parking. A lot of photo ops outside, some picnic…read moretables. So much bustle. So many people. You walk in and Theres a check out area. A fresh produce, meat, fish, sausage, pickled olives, section. You walk further down and Theres the grab and go food section. Then to the left you have wine and cheese. You go further in, and Theres a fancy cheese section. Unfortunately they don't give small amounts of cheeses and cut it for you. But you can buy some really good cheeses here. Then you go back to the very narrow hallway, and Theres a ton of coffee on the left. I just got into coffee and am a coffee snob. I noticed there was a "greasy" looking bean. Which just means it's well past its freshness. The price of bean actually isnt that bad. And they offer a lot of varieties. We bought two, Guatemala and organic Mexico. I wanted to try it out before writing this review. The Guatemala one was light, faint. The Mexico was a bit deeper flavor. I would recommend to management to better advertise the coffee bean so the product moves and stays fresh, or maybe move it to a different section where people can feel comfortable getting it. It gets so crowded in the hallway. I would leave the hallway was a grab and go area. You keep walking down and you have the coffee shop to the right, and a small bread stand to the left. Of course we got coffee. Theres a small area of seating to get coffee for there. Theres a big roaster to give the appearance that they roast their own coffee but I believe it's just for decoration. Fiancé got a cappuccino. It was okay. He normally doesn't get coffee with too much milk but the waitress said there was 3 shots of espresso in there. I would say it didn't taste like 3 shots. It taste like coffee with 90% milk. And it should be told to customers that a cappuccino there is more milk with coffee. I got the con panno. Which is espresso with whipped cream. I'm not sure if the whip cream they use is fresh, or if it's super sweetened, but my coffee was sweet. It was thick which I like but I didn't like whatever sweetener they used. But I'd probably order a macchiato if I ever came back so I could taste the coffee. On the other side of the coffee shop is the sandwiches and prepared food that you order. Sandwiches are HUGE. Fiancé had the #1 with all the fixings. It was nice but if you don't like soggy sandwiches, you can ask for no veggies. Which we would do next time. I had the 7, no sun-dried tomatoes and no veggies. It was so good. The mozzerella was very fresh! If you walk past that you have the dried cured meat, and down a hallway to the right you'll find dried pasta and fresh pasta. The fresh pasta looked so good. I wished we lived in the area so I could try. You head back the other way and pass the outdoor seating and Theres also a place for you to check out you grocery/sandwiches. Right next to that section you have the pantry area of canned fish, pickled things, olive oil. Then Theres the bread and pastry area. We only had time to see these and no time to see what other stores they had or walk around. But I'd definitely come back to check those out.
