We can’t wait to go back!“

“A fabulous true Italian restaurant. Don’t be fooled by the others. If you would like a true taste of Italian food come to Fammi. If you are Italian please come eat here. Luca and Erica are amazing cooks and hosts. Diego took very good care of us. I have spent time in Italy. My mom lived in Italy. She and her husband Giancarlo cooked Italian food. This took me back to their beautiful and delicious dinners. Treat yourself to a real meal and come to Fammi.“

“My friend and I wanted to have catch up session over a nice Italian meal, so what other place to go than Olive Garden? Unfortunately even before we sat down at our table we started getting stares from other parties. My friend had her very well behaved 4 year old son with her, and I had my almost 2 year old son with me. Clearly no one wanted kids around .

As anyone with toddlers knows , they can be a bit active. Mine was no different and grabbed the sugar stash on the table to play with. Another guest felt the need to tell me what he was doing wrong . She got all worked up about it .

We asked to move to another table and our waiter was happy to help us do that to tbt other side of the restaurant. They even gave us a free appetizer ! Eli was so kind and got teary eyed when we told her about our horrible experience with the other guests. We clearly felt attacked by them on a racist level.

Just having a staff who was sympathetic toward us made the crappy experience a lot better. For this reason we’ll definitely be back. Angela, Eli and Felix were so caring and accommodating. Thank you Olive Garden.“

“We’ve enjoyed this locally owned, very welcoming, authentic Italian restaurant both during the week as well as on weekends. The owners are friendly and take pride in their restaurant, their staff and their menu. This is also reflected in the wonderful hospitality of their staff. The food is fresh and made to order with a nice variety of pasta, risotto, meat and fish options. If you’re looking for your go to Italian cuisine in the North Tampa (convenient to Carrollwood, Northdale and Citrus Park) area, I highly recommend La Casa Della Pasta.“

“Stopped in yesterday for takeaway Spaghetti and Meatballs. Mia, the cashier greeted us with the friendliest smile I have seen at a Fast Food place in ages. The meal was delicious! The meatballs were soft and fluffy not those hard little hockey pucks you often get. My companion ate the entire dinner. I am not able to eat large meals so with 3 meatballs I had one meatball and 1/3 of the pasta and have 2 more yummy dinners to look forward to. I almost forgot to mention the breadsticks. We both exclaimed how good they were and that they were a terrific accompaniment to the spaghetti. Thanks for serving such an enjoyable meal!“

“Service was slow since they were understaffed and everything is made to order but the quality of the ingredients was amazing. They slice all deli meats fresh when they make their paninis. The berry waffle had so much fresh fruit. Great quality for the price.“

“Great food & svs. A little bit pricy for me. Cost more than Tates; Olive Garden Italian Restaurants.“

“This is an Italian Restaurant that reminds me so much of my time in Italy. It has a very authentic atmosphere as well the best Italian cuisine.“

“Absolutely delicious and authentic food. We love the atmosphere. Friendly service and beautiful eatery…wide variety of market options. We love it. We enjoy each visit.“

“Margherita pie and cannoli. Not too shabby.“

“The best pasta we've had in some time! Actually had it delivered and it was as if we were in the restaurant. The Chicken Alfredo was just heavenly with the chicken as tender and flavorful as could be. The Keto dish was the surprise in it's flavor and texture. Will definitely order or visit again.“

“Mama B’s is absolutely fantastic! Their food is incredibly delicious, and I can’t recommend it enough. They serve all the classic favorites while also offering unique and creative pizza options. The ambiance is spot-on—a perfect blend of a modern pizzeria vibe with so much more. Their menu has something for everyone—pasta, wings, calzones, and more! If you go, you must try the penne alla vodka and the garlic knots—they’re out of this world. Whether you’re dining in or grabbing takeout, Mama B’s is a must-visit!“

“Some of the best food perfectly crafted by Chef Vito. Calamari to die for! Will be back!“

“This restaurant is Amazing. Fast Casual with the freshest of ingredients. We thoroughly enjoyed it while visiting the Tampa area and my daughter, who's usually super picky, said, we NEED one of these in Kennesaw,GA! The coconut cake was the best I've ever had. If you haven't been, go! You won't be disappointed.“

“Seriously the best pizza and wings in Tampa. I’ve lived here my whole life and it blows ABC out of the water. This place made me eat and enjoy pizza pies again. Best Greek salad and pasta too! I come here at least once a week, I can’t get enough of this place!“

“Best services ever and very polite“

“Great Service! Everyone is great! I always feel like family! I from NY and the Pizza is as close to home as I can find. Always keep coming back. I strongly recommend. Thanks Taste of NY.“

“Good afternoon it was a mix up with an online item . I went inside the store and the Gentleman was very nice and pleasant and polite and listen to the problem I had with my purchase . He read over the receipt I showed him what I purchased on the app . It was totally wrong . But he made sure I was pleased when I left . He remade my pizza . I’m very pleased . It was hot a fresh a tasted amazing . Thank you i am assuming that’s the manager didn’t catch a name . Best regards S.Knighton“

“Wow! I can’t say enough good things about Hungry Howie's Pizza! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by the incredibly friendly owners who genuinely care about their customers. Their warm hospitality made me feel right at home!

The pizza itself is outstanding! The variety of flavors and the unique crust options are fantastic. I especially loved the Cajun flavored crust—it adds a delicious twist to every slice. Each pizza is made with fresh, high-quality ingredients, and you can really taste the difference.

The owners go above and beyond to ensure a great experience. Their passion for what they do is truly inspiring!

I can't wait to go back on Friday! Highly recommend! ?❤️“

“Always have an excellent time. Going to Cappy’s. The pizzas excellent and it’s a great atmosphere. Staff is always on point.“

“Bosco's is an amazing place. It's ran by such sweet and caring people. They make you feel at home as soon as you walk in the door. They have such big hearts and help to take care of those in need. We're so thankful to have them and be apart of our lives. The food is awesome.“

“*EDIT* - Disregard my previous negative review. I don’t know if they were under different management at the but they have definitely improved since then. I have ZERO complaints! 😄

The food is not the same quality as it was several years ago. My pizza sub was terrible and not nearly as good as it used to be. Extremely disappointed ☹️“

“This place is awesome. Had been going to the nearby Little Caesar’s across from Target for years, but when I got sick of the terrible service and food there, I wanted to try something new. Not sure if all Howies locations are like this one, but the pizzas and service here are consistently great! Greeted as soon as I walk in the door and my food has always been ready by the time projected in the app.“

“We order pizza here all the time! Delicious, but tonight must have been a new driver! �“

“Called and placed my order for pick-up. When I got there, the lady at the front said she didn't have my order.

She kindly explained that the call center tends to ignore customer orders, as well as failing to send in the orders to the store.

She offered a pretty significant discount after I re-placed my order again; a complete surprise to me. Thank you lady!“

“Overall, a pleasant experience and would recommend it to others, When we went, we ordered The Spaghetti and Meatballs meal, and it was the BOMB! So was the the garlic bread and the pizza!
The restaurant had little to no people when we first arrived but started filling up by the minute, Our Waitress Lacey was nice and friendly. The restrooms were clean, The service was fast and the food was great! This is a great place and again, We would really recommend this place to others!?“

“Love the care given to the food and service. Great staff!“
