Hungry for a hearty, delicious and budget-friendly sub sandwich?

Something warm sounded comforting on a recent, cold-for-Florida day.

Cesarina's Italian Deli & Bakery has a great selection of hot sandwiches such as chicken parmigiana, meatball, pastrami and steak with cheese. All cost less than $4 for a 6-inch sub.  

The chicken parmigiana sandwich came on homemade Italian bread. The pieces of chicken cutlet were so large, a fork and knife were needed to eat the sandwich. 

The cold 6-inch sandwiches cost around $3 with options such as turkey breast, ham with cheese, and tomato with fresh mozzarella.

Have a heartier appetite? The 12-inch sandwiches range in cost from $4.75 to $7.99.

Cesarina's will wrap the sandwich, if eating lunch or dinner on the road is the plan. Also, the deli has a seating area with painted Italian scenes on the walls. Plus, during the week, free delivery is available for two or more orders from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m.
