Family businesses serving up South Florida’s best bagels and Italian food
Are you feeling some bagels this morning? Two family businesses, both originally from New York, are serving up some of the finest bagels and Italian food in South Florida.
CBS News Miami’s Anna McAllister heads to Fort Lauderdale to check out A&S Deli and Bakery and Goldberg’s Delicatessen and Bagels on North Federal Highway.
When you walk into A&S and Goldberg’s, you’re treated like family.
They’ve serving up Italian deli food and traditional, Jewish New York bagels – all in one shop.
Marc Goldberg and Nick Maltese grew up in their family business – and it’s their passion.
“We started here in Florida in 1971 on Bayview Drive,” Maltese said. “It was called Rotoni’s Italian Deli, and my dad was young. He was making fresh mozzarella, making soppressata. We had a deli and I used to help him.”
Both sides of the shop pride themselves on the freshness of their products, like homemade mozzarella on the A&S side.
The cheese is made fresh every day along with the rolls for every sandwich.
And on Goldberg’s side every bagel is made fresh in house.
“My favorite thing from Goldberg’s is the bagels,” customer Paula Cury said. “We come here in the morning and get our bagels. And them from A&S, I really like their number six. The Nicky’s Favorite. It has fresh mozzarella, tomato, prosciutto and balsamic glaze.”
And, of course, CBS News Miami couldn’t stop by and not try their specialty items like a toasted sesame bagel with vegetable cream cheese, fresh sliced lox, tomato, red onion and capers.
And how about that South Bronx chicken cutlet sandwich? Every single item that CBS News Miami tried, from the bagel sandwiches to the soups and specialty deli creations was outstanding.
“I would say that the my favorite thing about this place is that come in, and you feel like you’re home,” McAllister said.
“We make everybody feel that way,” Maltese replied.
And you can get the best of both worlds seven days a week.
They also take orders online.

US Coast Guard saves 8, including infant and child, after vessel capsizes off Fort Myers Beach
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
A quick-thinking crew from U.S. Coast Guard Station Fort Myers Beach saved eight lives, including an infant and a child, after a boat capsized Friday afternoon near the Sanibel Causeway in Florida.
Responders rushed to the capsized vessel, executing a rapid, coordinated effort that resulted in every person being safely recovered from the water.
Officials credited the success of the operation to the crew’s “relentless” preparation and teamwork.

“A successful mission is measured by the lives brought home safely,” U.S. Coast Guard Station Fort Myers Beach wrote in a statement on Facebook.
The Coast Guard emphasized the high-stakes rescue serves as a powerful reminder of why its crews train constantly and remain ready to respond at any hour of the day or night.

The Sanibel Causeway is in southwest Florida, just west of Fort Myers on the Gulf Coast.
The Florida Supreme Court is reversing legal precedent that previously required judges to throw out evidence collected by police, when they don’t knock and announce themselves.
Typically, when police conduct a raid with a search warrant without giving residents enough time to answer the door, the evidence gathered is not allowed in court.
The Justices overturned that procedure in a 6-1 ruling.
Justice Meredith Sasso wrote for the majority that Florida’s knock-and-announce statute does not give judges the authority to suppress that evidence.
The ruling stems from a investigation out of Leon County. State and local police obtained a search warrant for a residence connected to a suspected trafficking organization. During the raid, police knocked and announced themselves several times, but only said they had a search warrant moments before barreling through the door.
As the case moved along, a judge ruled to suppress evidence found during that raid.
That decision was appealed and the case made its way up to the state’s Supreme Court.
Maternal health care training
The University of South Florida is sending medical educators into rural Florida communities to provide critical maternal health care simulation training to local hospital staff and first responders. FOX 13’s Briona Arradondo reports.
TAMPA, Fla. – The University of South Florida is sending medical educators into rural Florida communities to provide critical maternal health care simulation training to local hospital staff and first responders.
Florida rural medical training
The backstory:
Fewer hospitals are delivering babies or providing maternity health care in rural Florida communities, forcing pregnant women to travel hours for care. In response, USF Health launched a state-funded maternal health care training program covering 16 rural counties.
The program is led by a partnership between Florida Center for EMS at USF, Florida Prenatal Quality Collaborative and Center for Advanced Medical Learning and Simulation. It brings high-tech simulation mannequins directly into local patient rooms. These advanced simulators can mimic life-or-death scenarios like seizures, preeclampsia and postpartum hemorrhaging.
“I was really surprised, because my background as a firefighter-paramedic I worked in an urban environment where I had those resources. But going out to the rural communities in the Panhandle, sometimes the transport time is over two hours away,” said Penni Eggers, the director of education and assistant professor at the Florida Center for EMS at USF.
The program has already trained emergency personnel in Calhoun County, and the cities of Perry and Arcadia, teaching critical symptom management from the moment a patient enters an ambulance.
Saving mothers and babies
Why you should care:
According to Eggers, 80% of maternal deaths are preventable, and up to half happen after birth. Providing rural staff with hands-on tools builds the confidence needed to handle critical issues until a patient can be safely transferred to a specialized unit.
Emergency training sentiments
What they’re saying:
“This is actually going to touch more people and save more lives, I think. This is more to me, one of the most rewarding things we’ve ever done,” Eggers said.
She added that after training, “they feel much more confident that they can handle an emergency maternal problem, and they feel that they have some tools now and resources that they can actually do their job.”
Expanding medical simulation
What’s next:
The mobile USF Health training team plans to head to Wauchula next to conduct its next simulation exercises for local health care workers.
The initiative began in 2025 as a successful pilot program in Franklin County. The positive results secured a grant through the Florida Department of Health to expand operations, which will fund the training for the next year or two.
