A Trip To Italy Via St. Pete

Saturday,  before Christmas is a perfect time for me and the Turk to head to St Pete for a quick trip to Italy, that is Mazzaro's Market.


mode of transportation?





It's a kitchy, funny, fun spot with delicious food and drink from Italy, their own bakery, and Europe in general.
Art, over the fish counter. I guess they sell the droppings

Dessert

balsamic vinegars

Cheeses-including their daily-made mozzarella, wines from Italy and all over, unique beers and wines, teas and coffees, vinegars and olive oils, meats and homemade pastas.


Then there is the bakery..... fresh breads and desserts!









Sweets!

There is entertainment too.  For Xmas, the Grinch was wandering around.
Yup - the Grinch






 And the roving guitarist is always there with an Italian  serenade.

singer serenading us all





Needless to say, the Turk and I have great fun there.

Note the assorted Italian statues
