They say that the best things come in small packages. I believe that also holds true for some restaurants—like Colletti’s Italian Deli in Palm Coast. This tiny Italian market and delicatessen is also a restaurant that serves some of the best homemade Italian food in Flagler County.
I met my friend Laura there for breakfast the other day. Neither of us needed to look at the menu. We both ordered our usual favorite. Colletti’s Famous Breakfast Sandwich is a tasty combination of eggs, bacon or ham, cheese and potatoes on a fresh ciabatta roll. Not only does it taste fabulous, but at $3.95 you can’t beat it!
In fact, their entire breakfast menu is available for $3.95! Your choices include other sandwiches (also on wonderful freshly baked ciabatta rolls) as well as a host of Italian-style omelettes including prosciutto with provolone and sausage with peppers as well as the more traditional ham and cheese or western omelettes. You really can’t do better than Colletti’s for a fast, tasty and inexpensive breakfast.
Their lunches and dinners are also delicious and amazingly reasonable. They specialize in colossal hot and cold New York-style hero sandwiches as well as authentic Italian classic creations. Their bread is baked on the premises and Colletti’s only uses the finest meats and cheeses and fresh vegetables.
Colletti’s slogan is “Make love to your stomach” and they’re not kidding. Everything I’ve ever eaten there has exceeded my expectations! In addition to their delicious meals, you can pick up wonderful Italian specialty items including meats, cheese, handmade mozzarella, pasta, bread and sinful desserts—all homemade by the Colletti family and absolutely scrumptious.
Colletti’s is located at 5 Utility Drive just off Old Kings Road. They’re open Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m. and from 9:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. on Saturday. You can check out their menu online or call them at 386-245-5122.
