“Relaxing weekend on Clearwater Beach Florida! Of course, we had to have dinner at our favorite Italian Restaurant Cesare At The Beach. The owner, Ryan Pattie, is amazing. Niko and the rest of the team always takes such great care of us! The Pollo Cesare Augusto, which is pounded chicken breast, breaded, topped with eggplant, mozzarella, mushrooms and a delicious pink sauce, is the best Italian dish we have ever had! Watching to sunset while enjoying delicious food!“

“Absolutely Delicious Pizza!🍕“

“Excellent food with great service and a lovely atmosphere! Highly recommend the lobster ravioli! The Dolce Vita cocktail was lovely, too. Everything was absolutely perfect. We’ll be back!“

“We decided to finally give this place a try after drinking past it several times.

The food was amazing. My wife got the gnocchi pesto and it was pretty good, a bit light on the salt but easily corrective. I had a Philly cheese steak and oh my god, that bread was soft inside and had a good crust, the streak was well cooked and it tasted amazing.

The service was good! The two owners where very kind and attentive.

And the atmosphere is also great! Small restaurant so it kind of gave me a cozy vibe.“

“Totally blown away, honestly. I love a good pasta and tiramisu is my favorite dessert (and I’m picky). Hands down best carbonara I’ve had around here for sure. I am very excited to go back and try more. The people were very lovely who were working there. Don’t pass up this place, I feel like it could be missed because a couple places on either side are currently being renovated/built up- so make sure you go. It'll be worth it!“

“Really reminds me of being in a pizza diner back home with all the Chicago memorabilia. Not many places can make a stuffed crust pizza where the crust isn't a soggy mess. The flavor is on point with the sauce to cheese ratio in the Goldielock zone. This is the place to experience Chicago Style and I can't wait to go back.“

“Great food,love the wings, pizza, homemade lasagna, Shannon the server is great 👍“

“Great service food was delicious“

“I went to eat here for the first time today with friends I used to work with. We heard that the owner used to work at Italia Mia which is now closed and now own this restaurant. We always had a salad and pizza there so we ordered the same thing here. The sausage, pepperoni and mushroom pizza was absolutely delicious. The thin crust was incredible!! Nice ambience also.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We had such a wonderful experience! The food was delicious, beautifully presented, and the portions were great. Everything we ordered was full of flavor.

Our server, Luis, was absolutely amazing! He was attentive, kind, professional, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. His service really made the experience even better.

Beautiful atmosphere, delicious food, and exceptional service. We’ll definitely be coming back! 🍷“

“Best pizza in the area. The crust has great flavor, the sauce is right on the money and the ingredients are fresh. Service was excellent. They were out of pepperoni and they informed me ahead of time and just added extra of what I wanted due to the inconvenience.“

“You may have seen them on internet but being in person is so much better!! You might not know this but if I only had one meal left on earth it would be chicken parmesan. We came here for our anniversary and elenora took great care of us. She recommended the garlic bread and cheese ball appetizer which were both slam dunks! We shared the carbonara pasta which was good too. The real hero is the chicken Parm with vodka sauce that is hand poured at your table. Don't mind me in this video where an angel legitimately must have touched my shoulder. I felt like someone tugged at my shirt, l think the Lord blessed that chicken!“

“Took my GF for her birthday and they made it very special with a special table cloth and a birthday cannoli! The food was amazing and so was the service from Becky. Not to mention the atmosphere was very old Italian and romantic, making me look like I knew what I was doing in choosing it. I didn’t. It was our first visit but we WILL be back.“

“Great experience for our best friends birthday ! Fast service! Great food!!10/10“

“Great food, clean restaurant and wonderful service

We had a really great experience at Olive Garden. The restaurant was very clean, cozy, and had such a pleasant atmosphere.

The food was delicious, fresh, and exactly what we wanted for a nice family meal. The service was excellent — our server was very friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed.

Everything was comfortable and enjoyable from start to finish. We had a wonderful time and will definitely come back again!“

“I took my daughter to this establishment for her birthday. We had reservations, but I noticed limited parking upon arrival; however, I found a spot. We waited a few minutes and were seated. Our server, Leah, greeted us, and we ordered beverages and an appetizer. I knew what I wanted right away, while my daughter took a bit longer and chose the lasagna. When the food arrived, the generous portions impressed us. Both of our meals were delicious. I mentioned to the server that it was my daughter's birthday. The head chef also checked in to see if everything was good. Bruce, who was fantastic, surprised my daughter with a big slice of chocolate cake and sang Happy Birthday with the crew. Great job! We will be back again.“

“I Love these two wonderful people! My husband and I would go to their restaurant for years and I’m thrilled they have their catering business! Food is authentic and the very best fresh ingredients!“

“Me and my wife went to the mall to get shoes and we got hungry. We seen the Italian slice eatery, so we order a steak and cheese sub and a gyro platter total with tip was $30.
Price was a little high but we get it, it's in a mall and prices are higher because or rent etc.. but the food Holly hell was it a surprise! The best gyro i have eating in St. Pete and the steak and cheese was phenomenal!! You guys have something here!! Ppl need to go and try your food it is amazing!!“

“Tried several flavours. All REALLY good. However, serving size is very small.“

“Delicious pizza! Had the deluxe. Loved the crust and the cheese. Plenty of topping. Now one of our fave pizzas ever! Wings were good. Needed more sauce. Was surprised they charged for blue cheese but it was good. We will crave this pizza!!“
