La Casa Del Pane — Restaurant in Saint Pete Beach

We just discovered this nice cafe in St Pete Beach this month and have been twice already. I always order several pastries, a latte, and a prosciutto/fresh mozzarella sandwich (swapping bread for croissant) and hubby gets the Italian. So good! Thiiick mozzarella slices, you can taste the freshness. The prosciutto almost melts in your mouth. Slightly tangy at bites from the drizzled balsamic vinegar. Buttery, flaky, big croissant. Excellent portion, but nearly $10. It's quality though. Italian sandwich comes loaded with the meats, worth the price.

All the cookies and pastries we have tried have been very good, but my favorite are the wedding cookies loaded with white powder sugar and almond flavor. Loooveee.

Service has always been very friendly.

It has been so packed every single time we have gone though, without much social distancing inside (it's harder due to limited diverting). The bar seating area doesn't have any signs instructing patrons to space out / leave one chair at least in-between if they are not from the same party. With so many people close together and talking to each other there, we ended up walking out with our little bags and finished our meal at home today.

We are definitely coming back, but will be ordering takeout until the pandemic eases or if we come early enough to snag a socially-distanced table outside. Great...

Our recent stay at Pete's beach, we decided to stop in for breakfast here, with all the decent ratings online. The pastry choices looked abundant, the views were the best part. Unfortunately the service or food matched the views. Upon entering, not welcoming at all, several staff there couldn't bother. Asked for menu and went for breakfast and americanos. The coffee was bitter and tepid, such a surprise for the machines there. The only thing colder than the eggs on our plate (poor presentation and servied on paper plates - certainly not matching the price they charge, but did match the flavor). Our server, use that word lightly, was argumentive about the dish and of course wanted to add credit/debit card charges for the privelage and adding the overpriced food. The crossiant although a good size, not fresh and bland. I belive smiles would have been an extra charge, could not have gotten out of there any faster and we went elsewhere for breakfast. Make some effort to the service and presentation to be at least half as sweet as the pastries looked. I was not wearing a tee shirt, "I am a tourist, treat me as such." so do not get...
