New York Deli in Fruitland Park

Last weekend while taking a ride passed by this restaurant.

As a former NYer greatly miss good deli food like pastrami and corned beef.

We were not hungry or probably would have stopped by.

Any comments on this place either good or bad?
Thanks

Been there a few times, nothing special, not even close to the NY delis I frequented while working in Manhattan...

Cornbeef on Rye with hot mustard was pretty good.

Thanks, guess we will give it a try next time we head down that way

Agreed! I have to trek to Tampa or St. Pete for decent NY, Kosher style, deli.

I make a day of it... Yankee game and deli. :a040::a040:

NY Food cliches after the of 1970s is not NY anymore, those days are gone....
In other words - The original taste of NY food is a thing of the pass it's all a make believe JUNK just like everything else...

I'm no expert on deli's, but Mazzarro's Italian Market in St. Petersburg is so popular it's even included in the AAA bus tours to the Salvador Dali Museum.

Mazzaros Italian Market 2909 22nd Avenue North, St Petersburg, FL 33713 (https://www.mazzarosmarket.com/tour-mazzaros/)

I went to high school a half mile from this place, St. Petersburg High.

If I am not mistaken seeing a cannoli in their case that alone will get us there

According to the Manhattan Special Facebook page, they have a retail locator. It shows two places near us, it's not Mazarro's but Cesarina Deli & Bakery 2575 E Bay Dr, Largo, FL 33771, that's between St. Pete and Clearwater.

The other Paul's Italian Deli & Restaurant 812 E Vine St, Kissimmee, FL 34744, that's near Disney World.

You post the " BEST " post's , usually with photo's to back up your words.

Honestly the very best always brings a smile. :) Thanks

Thank you! If you are ever in the mood for one, Gio’s Deli sells it also.

I've tried Lucky Dill and Jo-Els. Both were good. The link will give you more choices.

Top 10 Best Jewish Deli in Tampa, FL - Yelp (https://www.yelp.com/search?find_desc=Jewish+Deli&find_loc=Tampa%2C+FL)

Mazzaro's is an excellent Italian deli. They also have the best rugelach and they are 2 blocks from Jo-El's!!!

[Stu from NYC]

Can we please get some more posts on NY deli. But thanks for the other choices

[JSR22]

I have gone to NY deli. The cold cuts are Boars Head which is what Publix offers. Nothing like a NY Deli.

As a former NYer greatly miss good deli food like pastrami and corned beef.

We were not hungry or probably would have stopped by.

Any comments on this place either good or bad?

HIGHLY RECCO... fantastic bakery! Breakfast awesome. The woman who runs it is a prideful New Yorker - and - it shows!

[bilcon]

What great pictures. Mazzarro's is worth the stop if you catch it when there are no bus tours. My wife and I were over in Tampa last year and decided to stop there. Believe it or not it was not crowded that day. Amazing! It was great. The food was great, the place is unbelievable, the wine store is well stocked, and the gift shop was interesting. We were going back to TV, so we took some of their food home with us. (I had a cooler with me). I am also from NY, and while I don't compare here and there anymore after 12 years in TV, I thought their food was very good. Worth the stop. PS: It gets very crowded about the Christmas Holidays.

Very disappointing to hear this.

Try the little Italy deli and bakery in Inverness just str8 down 44 about 15 minutes from wildwood for that . It’s a pretty good place
