Ever had a meatball sub salad?  Sounds interesting but I'm hooked on the Number 5... the Hot Italian sub with the capicola, ham, salami with hot giardiniera and house dressing.  DeCosmo opened their new Italian market in Pinellas Park in September 2022.  But the family already had legions of fans from their sub shops back in the 80s. 

I had a chance to head over to the store and chat with Paul, Steven and Vincenzo about their first year in business.  What's worked? What have they tweaked? What's to come as DeCosmo continues to grow?  We talk pizza, food delivery and hopes to open a full scale butcher shop on this episode of Geno Ate Tampa.

Devouring the 813 and 727 one neighborhood at a time. #GenoAteTampa began as a hashtag so I could quickly point listeners to places I've recommended on my Tampa radio show and social media channels.  Now, "Geno Ate Tampa" has become the chronicles of my never-ending quest for great burgers, sweet and sour chicken, buffalo wings, fajitas, chicken parmesan, pizza, apple pastries, cheesesteak, grouper nuggets, french fries, lobster rolls and ice cream in the Tampa Bay area.  And that's just what I have for breakfast.
