Cosa Nostra Italian Deli

Cosa Nostra is a fantastic spot located in the charming historic downtown area of Clermont. The restaurant was clean, the staff was welcoming, and the service was quick and attentive. There’s a great outdoor seating area equipped with misting fans,an appreciated touch in the Florida heat. But the real highlight was the food. I had the best chicken sandwich I’ve ever tasted, so good, in fact, that I ordered a second one to take home to my wife. Everything about the experience was top-notch. We’ll definitely be back!

A hidden Italian gem in Clermont: Cosa Nostra Italian Deli Today I had the pleasure of enjoying breakfast with my family at Cosa Nostra Italian Deli, and it was an experience we definitely want to repeat. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere wraps you in that cozy and authentic charm that only places made with love can offer. The menu is simply exquisite. Every panini we tried was perfectly prepared, with fresh ingredients and flavors that capture the best of Italian cuisine. The desserts were the perfect ending: delicate, handcrafted sweets that we enjoyed alongside a coffee so delicious, you close your eyes at the first sip. The service was another highlight. The staff is friendly, attentive, and always smiling, making you feel welcome from the very start. Plus, the place is spotless, which is truly appreciated and adds to the warm and trustworthy vibe. In short, Cosa Nostra isn’t just a place to eat—it’s an experience to enjoy. Highly recommended!

Very good latte here! Also sandwiches are amazing. We ordered the Super Tuscany and the Smoked Turkey BLT. Both stinking great! Can’t wait to return to try other items on menu. Very pleasant staff at register when ordering/paying.

When you longing for great quality not mass manufactured sole-less food and you finally find it. This place is AMAZING! From atmosphere to warm people. I got suggestions from I believe one of the owners Christine ( by the way the sweetest woman) and oh boy I didn’t regret a thing. Pistachio filling is my new favourite thing and caprese sandwich. All flatbreads are amazing. Can’t wait to come more times. It was great Italian 🇮🇹 food!

Molto Delizioso! Delicious food and very friendly, helpful service in a welcoming deli dining area. We enjoyed our cappuccino and pistachio espresso along with their Super Tuscany sandwich, which is shareable for sure. Next time we will each get our own so we can try two menu items, but we will need to arrive super-hungry because the sandwiches are generously sized. The ciabatta bread is the best we have had anywhere, not to be missed.

Authentic Italian deli with the BEST coffee—trust me, I’m a coffee snob. Sandwiches are fresh and full of flavor, and the Italian mortadella is my absolute favorite. A must-visit!

I have watched Cosa Nostra move from a small food booth down the street to a truly incredible looking store front on the corner of downtown Clermont. I had not stopped to try them until today and unfortunately I was a little disappointed. When they opened up the new location, they installed digital screens that show a rotation of their sandwiches and flatbreads and in the pictures they look so good and so hearty. So I was excited to try an “authentic Italian” deli sandwich. So we purchased two, a pastrami 1 and a prosciutto di Parma 2. We also ordered the blue cheese and honey chips. When I opened the container I was really surprised at just how little meat they put on our sandwiches. I love pastrami and I was so disappointed to see such a small amount. I get a pastrami Reuben right down the street and it’s LOADED with pastrami and it’s a couple dollars cheaper than this one. The ingredients are really high quality and they did an incredible job with the store. I can see why people like to go but I have much higher expectations than what I got for $47 after a tip. I highly doubt that I will return because of value versus enjoyment. It’s a really great deli and I hope they do well because it is nice to see this kind of business do well. And clearly by the other reviews people love it. But ultimately it’s not my cup of tea. It was only okay. Also, on a side note, I know the place is small but I witnessed a kitchen staff person bag up trash and literally lift the bag up and over the counter where the food is served and he carried it through the dining area to the rear door. He was even holding another loose piece of trash that couldn’t fit inside the bag. It wasn’t like food was falling out of the bag or anything but it is a HUGE turn off for me to see any establishment carrying trash through the dining area. I’d be careful about this in the future if I was management. It’s worth mentioning.

Just simply delicious. The options of sandwiches and fresh cut deli meats and cheeses are available all day. Additional Italian food items for your pantry are also available for purchase. Our sandwich was delicious with the right amount of fresh ingredients and the bread was very fresh. I cannot wait to come in for breakfast with the smell of freshly baked bread Italian style. Pretty busy for a weekday night, but customer service was attentive. The soup looked very tempting as well and that gelato and pistachio items will definitely be on my order next visit

Great Italian sandwich spot in the area! It was bustling for the lunch crowd and felt really nice to have a place like this in downtown Clermont. Felt like an eatery you would find in Winter Garden. The area is growing a lot. Everyone in our party really enjoyed the sandwiches, all were filled with flavor , my roast beef was nice & warm with a kick from the jalapeño. It was worth ordering again! The menu is extensive so it was hard to pick something since it all looked GOOD. Also, the pastries look incredible , will need to try that next time for breakfast!

I am visiting family in Groveland, FL and while in Clermont I needed a quick snack. I love a caprese salad at home so that is what ordered. Fresh, crisp, the pesto was delicious. And since I'm out of town I treated myself to their lemoncello cake. Soft, moist, slightly tart, heavenly. So cute in downtown Clermont, FL.

All I can say is Wow ! Incredibly fresh quality meat on a nice toasted baguette. The flavors were wonderful. I probably won't ever go any place else for a sub. We also tried their nutella croissant hazelnut Yummy! The service is excellent, very friendly and knowledgeable. The restaurant itself is quaint and clean. A little crowded cause it is not a very big restaurant but there is also outside seating. Run don't walk to Cosa Nostra! AAA+++

No bag for my Muffaletta and oil dripped all over my shirt and shorts after forgetting to include my pistachio donut. I called and they credited my card for the forgotten donut. I hope the wash will get out the oil for a seventy dollar polo shirt? They were not rushed at lunchtime which confuses me as to how could the my get things so wrong?

This was one I was excited for, and now I'm excited to go back. I got the smoked turkey and added pickles and onions. My mom asked for something off menu, and they were nice enough to accommodate. We both had modifications, and they came out as ordered. I loved that these were served warm. I want to return to try other sandwiches and the desserts!!! The only reason I didn't order dessert here was because it was the farmer's market and I was planning on picking something else up.

A great Italian sandwich is essential to a happy food life - I use to always order Italian hoagies, subs, sandwiches and grinders and after so many dud and sub par experiences I lost my desire to even try them anymore. Cosa Nostra revived my love for a good Italian sandwich. The attention to detail, sourcing of quality ingredients and commitment to authentic flavors it's absolutely next level. I went with the Muffuletta Nostra and it was absolutely amazing. Anyone who enjoys a good Italian sandwich must give this place a try - you will be so glad you did. Bravo to to all the staff of Cosa Nostra!

Very fresh ingredients and a good portion size! Have been CRAVING a proper Italian sub since moving from Jersey and this will definitely be my spot. Was able to taste test the soup which was super kind of the staff. We ordered the prosciutto de Parma 2 and the Super Tuscany (next time I'll hold off on the aioli) and both were fantastic! We were there on a Thursday at 5 and got the happy hour special of two small cannolis and a cappuccino for $6.99. Fast casual atmosphere, a few tables inside and outside to enjoy your food on location or you can walk to the lake and enjoy it there!

As a Clermont native, it can be tough to find a place that you can consistently go to and still feel like it's a new restaurant each time. Cosa Nostra was formerly located in the west end plaza but after seeing a ton of positive response, it is now located at the old corner stone music location on Montrose street. For those who have lived in Clermont a while, the closure of Cornerstone was one of sadness, but with the arrival of Cosa Nostra - there is a nice salami sized ray of hope. I usually get the Super Tuscany and the Mortadella and they are ALWAYS on point. The bread is always crispy and the meats are properly put on with the greens and with the oil and oregano is always toasted. I absolutely love the sandwiches here and I know for a fact whenever we are craving Italian, this is where we go. The service is quick style and they also have a monitor that you can order from as well if you don't feel like talking to someone. The employees are always super nice and if you do want something sweet they have a great Tiramisu and Gelato as well. Consistency is KEY and they have the KEYS

Cosa Nostra means Our Thing, so this is Theirs. You will find sandwiches, flatbreads, salads, gelato, and drinks here. I love how theirs a big screen showing all of their offerings. We picked out a flatbread that was nice and sweet and savory, the Proscuitto de Parma flatbread. There's a couple options here with the same name, so make sure to get the one you like. It was quite tasty and a perfect snack for us. They also have diff Italian foodie items to purchase and make your own great food. It was a nice open clean spot and a great alternative to Montrose Street Market across the street.

The Prosciutto di Parma 1 sandwich was amazing. My husband had the Pastrami 1 and also said the same. Highly recommend!

Delicious. Period. This is a nice little corner spot to have either a small breakfast of amazing croissants and flavorful coffee rich with Nutella or pistachio cream surrounding the rim of yo cup or thick Italian sammiches. Make the Super Tuscany as your first lunch sammie here. You wont be disappointed.

I don't know why it's a 4.9 because this place is a solid 5 stars! It's very Italian decorated however everything is perfection: decor, clean, organized. The sandwiches are not cheap however they are with the best quality meats, the sandwich is really a large portion. I split the Very Tuscany with Ronnald M. and I was full. And I even shared my half with my little dog :) it was just delicious: the bread, meats, peppers and right amount of pesto. Outdoor and indoor seating. Just yum can't wait to come back!!

Just simply delicious. The options of sandwiches and fresh cut deli meats and cheeses are available all day. Additional Italian food items for your pantry are also available for purchase.

Amazing!! From the mortadella and burrata sandwich to the tomato soup and the icing on the cake...the pistachio gelato!! This place is a literal hidden gym in downtown Clermont! This was my first time visiting last night, but the hubby and I both agreed it won't be our last! All of the ingredients were so fresh. The staff was super friendly and engaging! Cosa Nostra you've got a good thing going!

First time here ordered the super tuscany.Oh my god, if you close your eyes, you really feel like you're in Italy. The flavors were amazing. Can't wait to go back. Friendly atmosphere.

Cosa Nostra, allow this Yelp review to be my formal apology. I am so sorry that I didn't give you guys a try when you were located in the West End Plaza. The fact that your business was able to grow into a stand-alone location inspired me to finally give it a try. And now I'm singing your PRAISES. I don't even like sandwiches - but I LOVE these sandwiches. The best word to describe this place is FRESH. From the bread, to the meats, to the cheeses to the PESTO - FRESH. FRESH. FRESH. I got the Italian Ham, and let me tell you... This is the BEST sandwich I have EVER had in my life. There is very few seating, which is my only con. But I plan to be a regular at this deli because it's just that delicious.

The smoked salmon croissant was so delicious. It melted in my mouth. The cappuccino was made topped with a heart and absolutely perfect. This is our new favorite restaurant. Clean inside and outside seating had spacious and clean tables. A huge win for downtown Clermont. Top-notch customer service as well. Winning all around!

Finally got out this way for the Clermont sandwich shop I've been hearing about. Cool little place for food and such. Had the nostra muffalatta, chips and can soda. Meal is what it is, nothing special sandwich with chips and a drink.

Real Italian deli flavors, real Italian deli meats, real Gelato, real imported ingredients, and really good food! Daily fresh made soups, fresh sliced meats for decadent big filling sandwiches, desserts and a handful of take-home real Italian pastas and sauce ingredients. It's counter service, limited seating, but all new in November '24 when they moved from their prior food hall location. Fresh modern feel in a rehabbed old downtown Clermont building. It is great and serves up some excellent food.

Had a wonderful experience this afternoon for lunch with my mom and kids. We sat outside had a wonderful sandwich/glass of wine. My kids shared a pepperoni flatbread and it was all so delicious! Will be going back many times again.

This place single handedly changed my life on Italian subs. We got two sandwiches the salami and the super Tuscany. I switch the lettuce for arugula however. Both were AMAZING. Bread was crispy but soft and fresh, the meats sliced super thin. Perfect amount of everything. We also got two sodas that were SO GOOD and had no high fructose corn syrup so they weren't syrupy and too sweet, just simply refreshing. We also got some gelato, the salted caramel flavor. Soo yummy, and you can tell by how their gelato is flat not "whipped" it's authentic. Signed up for the loyalty program because we loved it so much and KNOW we will be back. I'd even come here for a date night I loved it so much . We look forward to trying many other things in the future and highly recommend this place.

We moved here from Massachusetts, and let me tell you -- finding a good Italian sandwich in Florida is no easy task... until we found Cosa Nostra! Their sandwiches are top notch -- the quality, the flavor, the freshness -- it's everything we've been missing. I've tried several different ones and each one has been delicious. Maybe one day I'll make my way through the whole menu! This place is the real deal. If you're craving a true Italian-style sub, this is where you need to go.

Great food, they cared about making sandwich and the presentation and asked questions to make sure about certain ingredients. Overall it was delicious!! We cannot wait until they open in their own location! Currently they are in a food hall with a bunch of great vendors.

Yes most definitely a great place to visit! First time coming here absolutely incredible!! The veggie sandwich was amazing then I had there gelato strawberry was amazing I give this place a 10 out of 10 so yummy

Affogato heaven. Ordering an Affogato in the states is difficult experience filled with disappointment but not at Cosa Nostra. The cup was chilled with vanilla gelato and they pulled a great shot of espresso right on it. I loved it. You have to try it too.

A beautiful Italian sandwich shop that is a gem in the center of Downtown Clermont. Amazing and fresh sandwiches with specialty toppings, great coffee, and good customer service.

Food is delicious and the people were nice. I wish they had more indoor seating, though--it was packed (which is a good thing.)

My husband and I tried the deli tonight for dinner. He ordered a smoked turkey club and I ordered a caprese flat bread. The flat bread had mozz, pesto, tomato sauce, tomatoes and a balsamic glaze. It was sooo good! We also got an order of cannolis to take home with us. We will definitely be back.

I always get the Cotto 1 (Italian ham) and it's ALWAYS delicious! I appreciate the consistency over the years. The ingredients are fresh and authentic. The staff are so friendly and attentive. Their area is clean and inviting. It's located towards the back of the food hall with a large Italian flag, you can't miss it!

Unique Italian shop with delicious sandwiches and desserts. Specialty items and great service.

This place is the perfect new addition to downtown Clermont. Everything is delicious here

Good food and friendly service! Would recommend to anyone looking for a good place to get a tasty Italian sandwich.

Ordered one of the special sandwiches - the muffuletta sandwich - and the tiramisu for carry out. Both were very good. The tiramisu was very fresh (as in it hadn't been sitting around for hours) and light and the sandwich had quality ingredients. Everyone was very nice and helpful with the menu selections. Cute spot if you want to eat there. Next time I hope to get some gelato.

WOW! That prosciutto is to die for. Went to Barcelona in May and I ate my weight in this stuff. The prosciutto here is just as good. The prosciutto de Parma #2 is the BOMB!! Had a beer at the little bar inside the same area to make this a great lunch

Super great and super fresh sandwiches! It's a little hard to find and a bit tucked away and doesn't have a ton of seating but if you're craving a quick but good quality sub it's worth the stop.

Hands down the most consistently delicious sandwiches I've had the joy of eating! We live more than 1 hour away from this place but we make excuses to drop by anytime we can. Last time, we accidentally took home one of the pagers they use to let you know your food is ready. I think that was the universes way of forcing us to come back sooner. Quality family owned and run eatery. Completely unrelated: I over heard the owner talking in what sounded like, to my untrained American ears, real, authentic Italian. Idk but it made my sandwiches taste even better today .

Amazing food! I got the meatball sub. The service was really nice too. We got our food quickly and efficiently. Also the atmosphere makes it so cozy and it feels like you're in such a cute Italian cafe. 10/10

Craved this sandwich today but checked out the rest of menu while waiting and now I know I will be back. The Italian is calling my name! The Prosciutto do Parma 2 is made with very thinly sliced prosciutto, creamy burrita, arugula and balsamic drizzle. Salt meets creamy meets pepper bite and the crunch of a toasted ciabatta....YUM!!! Panino is about 12" long so plenty for two! Oh and the GELATO! )I had to have one while I waited for my sandwich) The display taunted me, and I gave in....Kitchen is clean, they even offer deli meats by the pound, cheeses by the pound and charcuterie's boards. Place is tucked into one of the mini food malls in Clermont center, a stone's throw away from Clermont Brewery, I took my sandwich there

The sandwiches were good but way over priced for the size. The restaurant was fine. It was just a fast food place. The owner was hovering and it felt awkward. Didn't love it enough to return.

This place is awesome! I was trying to find a good place to take my mother in law, when we stumbled upon this place. At first we were looking at a few options until the lady (completely forgot name) there recommended something for us. It was an awesome recommendation! And definitely will be going back. Everything tasted great, the ambiance was great as well - really love the decor! Service was wonderful as well. This place is another reason I will be back to Clermont.

First time there. It absolutely did not disappoint!! The BEST sandwiches ever!! I would highly recommend visiting and trying out their food!! Chris who took our order was very personable and even came to our seats to check on us. The owner also came by. He truly cares about his business and his patrons!! If you've ever wondered how great a sandwich could actually be, this is where you find out. Literally and by far, the best sandwiches we've ever had. Can't wait to try the rest of the menu

Excellent, spettacolare, buenisimo!! Tried their desserts and mortadella sandwich, authentic flavors and good quality ingredients! So happy and will be back! Finally a good place!! Great service! Lovely ambiance!

Recently had lunch here. Really nice staff! The Super Tuscany was amazing! Will definitely be going back.

The food is amazing! I highly recommend trying. For being a small corner store/restaurant they really had a lot to offer

The food is fresh and yummy! The coconut galato is sooo good! This is a cute little spot owned by a nice couple. They have a few tables and a large menu. I believe they sell meat and cheese by the pound as well. This is much nicer than a typical pizza spot.

My wife and I recently tried this sandwich shop, located in downtown Clermont, and were quite frankly blown away. We had the Prosciutto Cotto and Italian Mortadella and they were both delicious. Bread was great, the cold cuts were all fresh and flavorful, and the pistachio cream on the Mortadella sandwich was amazing! Would highly recommend, if looking for an Italian sandwich!

I've eaten here three times, and all three times it has been an incredible sandwich. I know I had one with pastrami and artichoke cream, and one with prosciutto and burrata, both excellent. Most recently, however, I had the best meatball sub of my life (pictured). The pesto adds a lot. There's not a ton to say, the sandwiches are just amazingly perfect. My wife did not enjoy the mocking attitude she perceived when ordering a flatbread with just cheese, so perhaps the service is not excellent. If you are looking for sensitive treatment, be wary. From a flavor profile standpoint, though, this place is incredible.

I had the Italian salami sandwich. It was amazing! The bread was perfect. Delicious flavors and it's the kind of sandwich you don't want to stop eating. That's how good! I'll definitely be back to try another .

So we came here on the recommendation of friends. It is a market style place with several vendors inside. It has only been open a couple months but hopefully it will be here for years. The ingredients are very fresh. The mozzarella on the caprese flatbread is amazing . Everything is made to order. You walk up and order your food then seat yourself. This place is a must try!!!! We will be back.
