“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!“

“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.“

“I truly couldn’t have had a better experience working with owner Massimo. I was planning my Moms 70th surprise birthday at Nabruzzi. Massimo couldn’t have been any more accommodating. He was so easy to work work right from the start. He was accommodating when it came to us reserving that back room, choosing a select menu. He even helped me set up the tables and allowed me to arrive earlier just so I could set up. His staff during the event were so extremely helpful. They were very organized and handled the event in a timely matter. They never rushed up to leave, their main priority was to make sure we were having fun. He was so beyond helpful from the start. He helped make my mom’s surprise party a successfull one. Even his wife was very accommodating when it came to making our selected menu. I highly highly recommend having a special event hosted at Nabruzzi. They were all exceptional to deal with from the start. Very affordable and extremely accommodating. The owner is a great business name and him and his wife are the team duo! This restaurant had some top tier authentic Italian food for an affordable price! Consider hosting your next special event here. Both him and his staff are all incredible to work with and I couldn’t thank them enough. My mom has a wonderful surprise birthday at Nabruzzi!! Thank you, Christina E“

“My wife and I after enjoying the Christmas festivities over here in Wesley chapel as we were visiting from Lakeland, we saw this place looking for a bite to eat and it was approximately 8:52 p.m. when we walked in. we asked how late they were open and they said 9:30 but would we still like a table, that spoke volumes so we said yes we would like to try this great smelling Pizza that we could smell as we were walking in. as we got in everybody's smiling happy the owner is just as friendly as can be the decorative walls is what really caught my eye. I have a friend from the island in Italy so it was very warming to know the detail of all the places about Italy. We got the Hawaiian pizza and we knew that this was definitely different than what we've had in the past, the ingredients were spot on the way it was made was incredible and we just sat there not being rushed to enjoy our meal everyone just going about doing what they do best and we just talking over the events of the evening and several times we just remarked about how good this pizza is. as we were close to leaving cuz we did not want to keep anyone late we were just wanting a quick bite to eat but something very good and we got it from this wonderful place the owner came up and asked what we thought and I remarked to him" questo è eccellente" this is excellent in Italian very kind-hearted man, sweet disposition and you see the love of what he is committed to, but I could honestly say when I seen how the workers just cheerful and in a very relaxed environment there's magic in this place, looking forward to going back on purpose to visit this particular place over in Wesley chapel!“

“as a retired Deputy Sheriff in Tampa for the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office. I would dine at Carrabba's many times. it was also located with my patrol zone area on N. Dale Mabry Hwy. in Tampa.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“I am completing this review to let not just customers know but to let Olive Garden and their entire franchise know that the employees at this location today were AMAZING!! My niece has autism and they were unaware and I know that she was a lot today, but they still served us with respect and care. As well as I left my pocketbook and did not notice, and the employee literally RAN to the light and found me in my car to return it back to me. I am so grateful because they did not have to return my stuff, but they did. Many blessings and if you’re reading this, go check them out!“

“That’s what I’m talking about!!! Great food! What a great menu!!! Looking forward to many great meals to come. Town and Country needed a legit Pizza spot and Tomato Joe’s delivers!!! 🙌🏼“

“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.“

“Met the nicest gentleman, Brian, who made the best mushroom pixxa!! Very tasty, indeed.“

“Amazing, food, vibe, drinks!“

“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.“

“We came to the 365 Cafe specifically for the gelato shakes. They are pricey, but worth it. You can sample the different flavors before making your decision. We opted for a mint shake with whipped cream and a Bailey’s flavored shake. Both were delicious. Everything is made to order, so it’s slow, but not terrible. The up-charge for a spritz of whipped cream ($1) was a bit steep as these shakes are already expensive and it was such a small amount of whipped cream, but it is what it is. They also have a nice selection of lactose free flavors. We opted to consume our shakes on the outdoor patio seats.“

“Went to the Cedar Park location and had a great experience! The food was brought out quickly & was delicious. The manager even came to check on us after receiving our food and brought us a dessert too since it was our first visit here. Hospitality was superb and we’ll definitely be back!“

“I'm delighted with this place. The food is delicious, pure, and authentic Italian flavor. A clean place with first-class service. The freshness of the ingredients is palpable. This place is my favorite for Italian food. And most importantly, prepared to your liking!!🥰💯“

No matter the time of day, their promptness ensures I receive my order quickly, and they've never made an error with my meal. Their commitment to using fresh ingredients, like 100% mozzarella cheese and daily-made dough, truly enhances the flavor.

“👍 pizza and service. friendly staff“

“HOT Rock Pizza. Love it i’m from Jersey I’m a Jersey guy, so I know good pizza when I see it. At the barbecue chicken pizza on the money. I will definitely be back. 🙌🏽“

“We were craving pizza, and a friend recommended Hungry Howie's Pizza, known for its variety of crust flavors and customization options.

For our Saturday afternoon lunch, we decided to build our own pizza. We went with a large thin-crust pizza with Cajun seasoning, topped with mozzarella cheese, pizza sauce, chicken, onions, and jalapeños.

Our order arrived via DoorDash in about 30 minutes, and we absolutely loved the pizza! The Cajun crust was flavorful and added a unique kick, making it one of the most delicious pizzas we've had. It even brought back memories of the pizza we used to enjoy in our home country.

Overall, a great experience, and we'll definitely be ordering from Hungry Howie's again!“

“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! ?❤️“
