Gennaro Italian Deli

Not close but a nice drive. Mazzaros Italian Market in St.Pete,. Everything is each and homemade, butcher shop is very reasonable and meats are awesome, bakery to die for along with deli, cheeses, gelato, fresh pastas and much more! We take 3 coolers with us and stock up! Check out their website mazzarosmarket.com.

But not even close to the Mulberry Street I remember from my youth. It's now mostly a bunch of restaurants for tourists. You can spend hours there and not hear anyone speaking Italian, and Chinatown keeps growing larger. Still a great place, but different from my memories of old men sitting in caf�s and talking Italian.

No, Little Italy in Inverness (124 N. Apopka Ave.). Good Italian deli turns into a restaurant and showplace on weekends. Reserve weeks ahead. Fun and good food by Rosario and Alfredo.
