Ryan the host was a wealth of knowledge and very helpful. Paul our waiter was first class. Food was awesome!
Absolutely fantastic! The service and food were 10/10, really the best Italian meal I've ever had. Fairly priced and huge portion sizes. Wjll definitely be recommending!
We ended up here 2 times over the weekend we were visiting. The staff is amazing (talking about you James)!! The food if fresh and delicious and the wine menu is so well curated. Not what I expected to find in a little strip of shops but definitely a goldmine!

We had the most wonderful dinner at Cesare’s last night! James and Ro were so attentive, and the food was absolutely incredible. They made us feel like family from the moment we arrived. They even read the notes and surprised our son with a happy birthday greeting. Such a thoughtful touch! Ryan, the owner, went above and beyond by gifting him a pack of trading cards, which he loved. It was truly a memorable experience. If you’re looking for an Italian restaurant with a welcoming family vibe and outstanding food, this is the place. We can’t wait to come back!

Cesare at the Beach was perfect for our anniversary. The meals were amazing, the service was attentive but not overly so. Our server was so knowledgeable about the menu and the was so helpful in choosing - and believe me you will need help choosing. Some of the pasta was made in house and you could absolutely tell the difference. The seafood was so fresh and delicious. We sat outside and had a nice view of the sunset. Would absolutely recommend for a special occasion.
This place is remarkable on it's own merits, not withstanding that it's in a tourist location. A few local friends discovered it a couple of weeks ago and we all descended on it last week. It was so good I immediately made a reservation again for 2 days later.
The basics - recipes and original owners from Italy, limited open hours, well established management/cooks/servers/etc. This place has been around for a long time and is likely to be around a lot longer.
Quality is through the roof. I've tasted at least 6 of their dishes and the hits just don't quit. The lasagna and lemon dessert are particular highlights but whether you're going with a basic pasta or something more exotic just know you're getting what is EASILY in the top 5 of Italian establishments within 2 hours.
My bar for Italian is high as I can make a mean set of dishes, it's not like pizza where I'm happy with even average fare, and this place effortlessly excels. The atmosphere is small, attentive, with just enough noise but not too much where it's perfect for a couple's night out or a small group. They also have a delightful patio.
I genuinely can't recommend this place enough. Just crushes everything in the region, particularly at it's very affordable price point. I've paid 4x more for Italian dishes from places that aren't even half as good, and I thought those were well priced based on the quality. This place isn't just hitting out of it's league, it's practically playing a different game entirely.
I have no notes for this place. It's perfection and I expect it'll be a regular part of my rotation for years to come.

Excellent meal. Wonderful salad and pasta fagoli! Grouper francese entree and calamari appetizer were also excellent. The marinara served with calamari was delicious. Service was a perfect 10!! Very cute inside and comfortable. Only comment is the pasta trio entree. The actual pasta was too thick on the ravioli, so would not recommend. The bolognese was very tasty.

Our meals, three veal parmigiana, were outstanding. The BEST I've ever enjoyed. The owner makes the experience even more enjoyable. And Nicky is a terrific server. We will be back!

A wonderful experience! The food was delicious and the menu was huge. We started with burratta appetizer; great starter. We also had outstanding service. They managed the perfect balance between professional and friendly. A great way to celebrate a special occasion or get away from the typical joints that are all over this area. Highly recommend

Excellent everything! Food, waiter and the manager took time to come to our table to see about us! Thank you!
Best Italian meal we had all week. Highly recommend this to all!! Very impressive!! The owner makes sure to open main front door and greets each patron. Waiter was absolutely amazing. He went over every special, explained in detail anything we had questions about. Even the cocktails were delicious, not every bartender mixes a drink proper but they do!! I wish we found this place in beginning of our weeks stay cause we would have positively had a 2nd meal. Next time we are down in Clearwater, we will be having dinner here. Enjoyed every single home-cooked sauce and dish. Chicken piccata was made to perfection just as the chicken parm my daughter got. My hubby and almost son-in-law had salmon and another fish which they both tried eachothers. They all were delicious!!

We were visiting Clearwater Beach, and this place was AMAZING! The pasta was seriously so good and the service was a 10/10! Ryan (I think the owner) was so generous and nice and I would highly recommend coming here for dinner if you are in the area! The food is made so fresh!
