Milk District Update: Stasio's Italian Deli and Market Gets Help From City With Signage, Windows and Doors

By Mark Baratelli
Stasio's Italian Deli & Market has applied for assistance through the City of Orlando Small Business Facade Program (SBFP) for new signage, new windows and new storefront doors for its new business concept at 210 North Bumby Avenue

We told you in January the business was coming to the Milk District. The expected opening time frame is March/April.

The total capital investment for this project (interior and exterior work) is approximately $228,000. Total eligible project costs under the SBFP are $68,050. The Small Business Facade Review Committee recommended approval of maximum funding in the amount of $20,000. The Small Business Facade Review Committee Meeting was held February 15, 2018.

The space will primarily be a grab and go business with a deli counter and a grocery area. A few seats will be available. Catering services will also be offered.

The glass counter will offer the following:
  1. Sandwiches made to order
  2. Full espresso bar
  3. Pizza
  4. Breakfast sandwiches and hot breakfasts

The market space with shelving will be stocked with products imported from Italy like olive oils, balsamic vinegars, prosciutto, Pasta from Italy, seasonings, snacks, and bottles of wine.

The decor will be like an Italian deli like those Palo enjoyed up north. Expect cured sausages hanging from the ceiling over a glass case, open grab and go cold cases, hot cases with prepared food to go.
The hours will be 7am-7pm Monday thru Saturday

The building in which the deli and market is housed has 3 spaces. The middle space contains the offices of National Real Estate, the owners of the building and creators of the Hourglass District, and the back warehouse space is still available.
