“My husband and I recently visited Quality Foods Market for the first time for our wedding anniversary. It was the most amazing experience. Chef Chris and his staff went above and beyond anything we had experienced before. Chef Chris recommended a wonderful wine and the food was delicious (especially the freshly made pasta). We can’t wait to go back!“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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!!! 🙌🏼“

“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.“

“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.“

“Margherita pie and cannoli. Not too shabby.“

“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!“

“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 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.“

“Amazing, food, vibe, drinks!“

“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!“

“You can smell how delicious the food is in the parking lot.It's so good . This place is really overlooked.It needs to be shouted from the rooftops. But be prepared the sizes of the food. The servings alone are so large.You will be taking home food.“

“I came in during the Strom and they were actually closing up... but we're still kind enough to make me some fries which was all i really wanted. They guys were so kind; as someone who transplanted here from PA the local pizza place has always been important back at home (shout out to originals pizza Morrisville PA), I've absolutely found my new spot!! Thanks again guys!!!!“

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 .

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.
