My First Impressions of DeCosmo Italian Market in Pinellas Park

By Geno

As the world’s largest Mazzaro’s Italian Market fan, when I heard about a new spot opening closer to the radio station, I got a little excited. DeCosmo Italian Market is doing a soft opening right now, but they are already packed during lunch hour. Word spreads quickly among us northern transplants when places like this open up. I heard a lot of New York accents in my short visit today.

So how does DeCosmo measure up against Mazzaro’s? Let’s eat.

So my final thoughts? Mazzaro’s is still the undisputed champ of Italian markets in Tampa Bay. But if you’re closer to Pinellas Park, much of what you’ll find at Mazzaro’s is at DeCosmo. It almost felt like a scaled down version of Mazzaro’s. The subs seem to be on par. I really need to try their Hot Italian on my next visit. The meatball was good though. Prices were on the higher side, but they tend to sell the quality stuff you don’t find on supermarket shelves. First impression of DeCosmo was a good one. It’s not going to bump Mazzaro’s out of the #1 spot, but having more choices is always a good thing!
