Decosmo will be another stop on our shopping experience
PINELLAS PARK — Frank Sinatra warbled on the overhead speakers of DeCosmo Italian Market, serenading the guests stopping by the deli counter for lunch.
It was four days into the soft opening and already repeat customers had found their way back. The employees made a point to greet each by name.
“We’ve always had family dinners together,” said co-owner and manager Steven DeCosmo. “Any friend who was over the house joined us
for dinner. And that’s what I feel like we’re doing here with the community — it’s basically from nonna’s kitchen to their table.”
DeCosmo Italian Market is the latest new business in Pinellas Park’s growing food scene. The grocery store and deli soft opened Sept. 13, with a grand opening scheduled from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m on Saturday and Sunday. There will be face painting and coloring for the kids, wine sampling, a raffle for gift baskets and a ribbon cutting.
Hello Tri-State and Dining Out Group members,
I have heard from many of you how much you love to shop at Mazzaro’s Italian Market in St. Petersburg so I thought we could plan a group outing.
I have targeted June 27th,2023 for the outing (Mazzaro’s tells me Tuesday is their slowest day), we would leave the club house at 7:30am carpooling as much as possible.
We would drive to Mazzaro’s Italian Market which is 82 miles away and figure we would arrive around 9:30am which Mazzaro’s tells me is the perfect time avoid the crowds.
We would shop for 2 hours and then head out for lunch around 11:30am. I have received from John Mongoven our local St. Petersburg expert a few different restaurants we can select – I will call the restaurants once we get an idea of how many plans to attend.
I figure 2 hours for lunch then back on the road by 1:30pm to 2:00pm, which would put us back at the club house around 4:00pm
If you can make this date and you want to attend, please email me at allanbarry111@comcast.net so I can get an idea of how many we might be.
