“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!“

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.

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Absolutely amazing pizza! We found them on a whim and wow it truly was a blessing the owner is incredible. The pizza is delicious, their pasta Alfredo is out of this world.“

“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.“

“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!“

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.“

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.“

“Had an exquisitely nice afternoon with the fellas after a long day of intense yoga and palates. Pizza smelled amazing but because I am on the Paleo/Keto thing, I just stuck to the tasty meatballs. Next time I hope the sausage come with the meatballs.“

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“

“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! ?❤️“

“What a relaxing and perfect place to enjoy good food and a classic car show on May 10th! Jessica, our server, was extremely attentive while Brennan Maslyn, the manager, was very busy keeping everything on point. But not too busy to stop by our table and others making sure guests had good service and a smile! We live close by which is wonderful for sports and the outdoor seating is a big plus as well!“
