32 Best Italian Restaurants near Apollo Beach

“Excellent food and great service from Lucca.“

“PHENOMENAL! You have to try it! Really great!“

“Honestly, not the best pizza I’ve ever had but when you can get a large one topping when ordered online for $8 or $9 all the sudden this pizza becomes very, very tasty. It’s not a bad pizza. Definitely a step up from the Red Baron or Tomb Stone I’ve been getting lately. I like their butter and garlic crust on a thin crust. Employees are friendly, store was clean, service was fast. If you’re a parent whose kids are having a sleep over this pizza, when ordered online to get the deal, is a no brainer.“

“I’m a New Yorker, and I finally found a slice of home!!!!“

“We love sitting upstairs and listening to the live music.“

“My husband Mark and I are visiting Tampa this week. We arrived Tuesday. After settling in at our VRBO we were looking for some delicious food. Mark loves Italian food and found Vino E Pasta. Mark called and spoke with the restaurant owner and asked if they had availability for 2 to dine with them yesterday evening. We were told to come on in . The owner greeted us when we arrived and showed us to our table. Our server was fantastic. He came to the table greeted us told us about their specials for the evening, took our drink order. He gave us time to look at the menu then took our order. I started with the lobster bisque and it was one of the best I have ever had. For my entree I chose one of their specials they were offering which was lobster ravioli with seafood . It came in a pink sauce with scallops, shrimp, clams and muscles. Seafood was cooked perfectly. Dessert was to go and I chose the limoncello cake and it was out of this world. Mark started with fried calamari with fried zucchini and that was phenomenal . For his entree he had their chicken Parmesan with penne al a vodka . His dessert to go was cheesecake. We had an amazing time. Two separate parties in the restaurant were celebrating birthdays. The restaurant staff to include the owner sang to each birthday party. After the birthday song was sung a male staff member got out his guitar and serenaded the birthday gal. When he was done with the birthday party he came over to sit with Mark and I and he serenaded me with Can You Feel The love by Elton John and then a classic italian song. If you are in Tampa you need to find this beautiful Italian restaurant sit down and have the best dinner of your life. Vino E Pasta is a hidden gem.“

“Outstanding food always. This is the best Italian restaurant in the world for me. The ambience, the owners, their team and the food is amazing always!!! Coming here is like going home, so welcoming. Can’t wait to return“

“Get the veggie sandwich! It is indescribably outstanding! Frankly, so is everything else there.“

“I want to say thank you for the amazing experience tonight! It has been 3 years since we lived in Tampa. Wife and I knew we needed to go back and saved the best for last, Beccofino. Not only was it just as we remembered, it was better. The small twists in flavor you added to original recipes....perfect. Hospitality is the best you can get in Tampa for a personalized dining. Thank you sir! We will be back!“

“I went here with my 95yo grandma, my mother and my 6yo daughter. Everyone had a great time! My gma is gluten free and they were very accommodating with gf bread to dip into her oil. She loved it! The cheese pizza kids meal was a huge pie that came with a free drink and a cup of gelato. The staff was so attentive, welcoming, helpful and energetic. My chicken piccata was delish. We also got a free piece of cake because it was our first visit. All around great experience and the restaurant vibes were lovely too with the red brick“

“We started our dinner with a bowl full of garlic bread then came the salad and balsamic vinegarett. Our main choice was the baked raviolis with parmesan cheese melted over them. Delicious 😋. The service is very friendly and always with a smile. Tonight there was entertainment by Cindy.“

“We had the family meal of Caprese Chicken and Penne delivered! The food quality was excellent! The chicken was tender, juicy and flavorful! The penne was well seasoned and perfectly sauced. The whole family loved it! We will definitely order again!“

“Best pizza ever!! Especially the deep dish! We normally pick it up but really enjoyed the atmosphere and service eating in as well. 5 stars!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Simply the best! Chef Daniel has provided top notch culinary skills and Italian favorites for the Tampa area and we couldn't be happier..“

“Yummy our family have been going here for years! We enjoyed our get together! Great pizza!“

“Love this place!! Everything I’ve ever bought there has been amazing! And the fresh made bread 🥖 is out of this world!“

“Had never heard of this restaurant before moving here. Ordered online and the food was prepared withing 12min, and cheaper than ordering from some surrounding restaurants... So i didn't expect much, but I was BLOWN AWAY! I ordered the breadsticks and bbq wings. Both were cooked to perfection and they were liberal with the sauce! Me and my little ones INHALED this food! We ate it so fast we didn't get a chance to upload photos!! Marco's is now our new favorite restaurant!!!“

“Great pizza and REALLY good Chicken Parm! Highly recommend!“

“Traditional NY Deli with lots of sandwich choices with catchy names. The sandwiches are made to order. The meat is piled high. They serve breakfast sandwiches as well. There's pizza by the slice, strombolli, calzone. They sell desserts, canolli, ice cream, Gelato.“

“Great casual Italian spot, highly recommend the Bang Bang chicken sandwich. The chicken parmesan pizza has also been great when I have tried it. My partner’s favorite thing to get is always the Strawberry Walnut salad, she loves that dish as well.

Overall, good for a quick sit down lunch or casual dinner at an Italian place that isn’t too fancy.“

“Breakfast and lunch was excellent.“

“I just want to extend a big appreciation and thanks to the workers at this location. I ordered over the website but due to my location, my delivery was through third party. With tonight being Valentines Day, I wanted to do something special for my kids and order them the heart pizza. My first dasher I received dropped it off to a completely different apartment complex down the street and was not willing to help fix the mistake. Most businesses, when going through DoorDash as the delivery, are quick to make you go through DoorDash for any issues and don’t care to fix any mess ups. This was the first place I’ve ordered from that actually helped after the mishap and was quick to redeliver to us. The food came fantastic, still fresh despite taking some time to find an driver and I cannot stress again how them having the patience to help really turned the night around. Thank you guys again, something that you guys probably thought as minor really meant a lot to us.“

“I have been a long-time frequent customer and was very disappointed after trying their new online order process. There was no disclaimer the order would be delivered through a meal service rather than their own drivers. I received cold pizza and soggy wings nearly 2 hours later after the new delivery service decided to drive my pizza around the area fulfilling other customer’s orders from other restaurants first, this is after it likely sat at the restaurant for 20-30 minutes after it was ready for delivery. Had I known this, I would have called in my order directly as I have done in the past. We live within 5 minutes of the store and always receive hot pizzas quickly when ordering via phone. I should have noticed the increased menu prices and realized it was to account for a delivery service fee, but I didn’t. There should be a disclaimer on your website that online orders are delivered through a contracted delivery service. When calling to get an update on the delay I was put on hold and hung up on four times before giving up.“

“I order online and use the drive thru. They have very limited seating anyhow. Drive thru is a nice convenience however, they share a parking lot with BubbaQue's bbq place so keep that in mind and watch for drive thru signs. Food is always fresh and ready when i get there. I recommend.“

“Customer service and food is great! The Thai Chicken Pizza is amazing!“

“This Wimauma location helped a girl out tonight 🙌🏻 I ordered in the app to this location or so I thought but when I went to pick up my order it was at a different location that I never order at. The kids working tonight remade my order quickly without hesitation helping this tired mama out. Thank you for being so helpful.“

“Ate here most of my life as a kid cause I lived right across the street.my father raised me so there was always a hungry howies box either in the fridge or on top of the stove.they knew us by name and by order cause the order was the same everytime.25 years later and I'm living across the street again,placing the same order,me and my father used to get.thank you for years of baking the best pizza pies in brandon...“

“Hungry Howie’s has quickly become one of my go-to spots for pizza. The thing that sets them apart the most is their crust options—having so many flavors like garlic herb, ranch, and asiago makes every pizza feel customizable and different each time I order. The pizza itself is always fresh, hot, and full of flavor, with plenty of toppings and cheese that doesn’t skimp.

Beyond the pizza, their menu has a lot of variety, from oven-baked subs to salads and Howie Bread, which is always soft, buttery, and addicting. The prices are reasonable, and they often have good deals or combo specials that make it easy to feed a group without spending a ton.

Service-wise, every time I’ve ordered—whether for carryout or delivery—the staff has been friendly, quick, and accurate with my order. Delivery is usually faster than expected, and the food always arrives hot.

Overall, Hungry Howie’s delivers on taste, value, and quality. If you’re looking for a pizza place that goes beyond the typical chain with fun crust flavors and solid customer service, this is a spot worth checking out.“
