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!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 100 STARS IF I COULD! ✨

We’ve lived locally for a year and I cannot believe this absolute gem was right in front of us the whole time. Mandola’s Italian Restaurant in Riverview completely blew us away from the moment we walked in.

Every single detail was exquisite — the service, the food, the atmosphere, the vibe… all perfection. You can genuinely feel the care and pride from everyone: the cooks, the servers, and the store managers. The attention to detail is unmatched.

When I say I left charmed, I mean it. I’m already telling everyone I know about this place, and we are officially becoming regulars. 💯

I’ve never been to Italy (it’s high on my bucket list), but wow… the second I stepped inside Mandola’s, it truly felt like I traveled. The warmth, the authenticity, the experience — just WOW.

This place isn’t just a restaurant, it’s an experience. Highly, highly recommend. 🌟🇮🇹🍝“

“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!“

“Several friends recommended this place and I'm glad they did. Love this place, very trendy cozy decor, food was delicious, staff was great and the drinks were tasty. Highly recommend.“

“Great food and service. We will be back.“

“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.“

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

“Chicken Riggi’s have finally made their way to Tampa! The first bite tasted like I was back in Central NY. Service was superb. They made you feel like family which is the Utica Italian way. Chef Daniel even came out to say Hello to us. Everything was top notch! If you’re from NY go! If you’re not, go! This food has so much flavor and I can’t wait to go back. Thank you Bocelli Tampa for a serene, delicious experience.“

“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!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

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

“OSHA badge number: 17-701366207
This is the first time I have ever been to this pizza location but I loved my experience here. Yonnie was very helpful and blessed us tonight and the gentleman in the back was very helpful also. If u are looking for good pizza and great customer service u need to stop into this hungry Howie's location. I've been to a lot of hungry Howie's in Houston but this one in Tampa is top notch.“

“My family and I decided to pickup pizza as an easy dinner for our family of 5. They had a special for a large 1 topping pizza, large Cesar or house salad, 10 wings and garlic knots. This is the best pizza we’ve found in the area, we also like to pick up single slices for a quick lunch!“

“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!!!“

“Breakfast and lunch was excellent.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Closest to a NY pizza on the west coast of Florida! Also a BEC on a poppy seed Keizer roll NY style.

But the Sicilian we ordered a few days after Christmas was very disappointing. It was very busy and there was a long line. So I ordered online instead. The Sicilian pie was made on what tasted like stale Italian bread. Was difficult to chew, hardly any sauce, and the pie had No flavor. Tasted like cafeteria school lunch. So unfortunately we had to throw it out.

That’s won’t stop us from returning to Frankie’s Deli as we truly Love their Pizza!“

“This is the best Hungry Howie’s. It’s super close to my house, which makes it easy for me to run and pick it up quick and for the food to still be hot when I get home. The staff here are also super friendly and greet you with a smile. I’ve never had a poorly cooked pizza at this location. They also follow the instructions on my online orders. Highly recommend this location!“

“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...“

“I’m recently new to the area , we thought we would give Hungry Howie's a try. The sandwich was good, it’s not on bread or a roll it’s basically a pizza minus the sauce folded over like a taco . The pizza to be honest is more like Domino’s , but greasy.“
