A New Spin on an Old Classic
Starting in the 1980s, the Maltese family built a legacy — one customer at a time. From neighborhood counters to family tables, A&S Prime Meats and Deli became a household name in Ft. Lauderdale. Through the ’90s and 2000s, millions came to know the flavor, the quality, and the tradition.
Today, A&S is back.
Same heart. Same heritage.
Blending Bronx-style Italian American deli classics with modern panini culture from Florence and Rome. From Black Angus Prime beef, to house-made sausage and prepared foods, fresh baked bread and pastries, a coffee selection straight from the streets of Napoli, and a curated collection of imported Italian groceries, A&S Italian Deli in Ft. Lauderdale brings a bold new take on what an Italian Deli can be.
This is our family’s legacy.
This is your neighborhood’s next obsession.
