Don't make a special trip here but if you're going to St Pete anyway stop in. Very eclectic Italian Market with great sandwiches for lunch. Hand made pasta to purchase along with tons of other Italian wines, cheeses, desserts, and specialties. Grab a ticket from the counter when you want to purchase from an area (like the deli). It's an experience.
