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!“

“Absolutely Delicious Pizza!🍕“

“I ordered the hot honey pizza on thin crust and added mushrooms, it has to be the best pizza I’ve ever had. The crust is light and delicious, the flavors are perfect, and the hot honey isn’t actually spicy, but it has this amazing sweetness that keeps you wanting more, it’s one of those pizzas you could easily eat the whole thing without even realizing it.

The Asian BBQ wings were incredible, I got them extra crispy with extra sauce and they were so delicious I couldn’t be happier.

The garlic knots were flaky, covered in Parmesan, and so good I couldn’t stop at just one, truly the best I’ve ever had. The zeppola with Nutella was incredible too, you get a huge portion and it’s so good you can’t stop eating it.

I had to call the restaurant for help with an order I placed through their app, and they were so kind and helpful, it made me even happier to give them my business. My food was ready in about 20 minutes, which was great.

The restaurant itself is super cute with plenty of tables if you want to dine in. We will definitely be back, this has to be the best pizza place in all of Florida, the hot honey pizza is a must try.“

“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.“

“Just like the good old days! Everyone is friendly and the food is amazingly good. Stop by and check out the local's hangout and have a draft beer while watching the Rays game.“

“Great service food was delicious“

“The calamari was super crunchy and the sauce had a great kick. Grouper was cooked to perfection. Broccoli cheddar soup was fantastic. Alfredo sauce was maybe the best I've had at a restaurant. Will be back for sure“

“Had a great girls night dinner out last night and was lucky enough to have Jennifer be our server. Food was amazing, she offered suggestions and laughed and chatted for a bit. Would definitely go back and would 100% request her to be our girl again!“

“We popped in as we were walking around the Central Arts District checking out the murals downtown. We only had an appetizer but the hand crafted expresso martini the bartender Zach made was exquisite!“

“Great restaurant. Not like a chain at all. Fantastic staff too!!“

“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!!“

“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!“

“I would like to thank Olti and Wanda at Bro's Pizza for helping make the food at our Non-profit fundraiser a wonderful success. Between them both, they helped us to select great items and pizza 🍕 toppings that would work to serve our crowd. The pizza was plentiful and delicious. Upon pick-up, the 20" pizzas were hot and ready. We really appreciate the quality of the food and how attentive the owner, Olti and Wanda were to the smallest of details for us. I would not hesitate to use Bro's Pizza for my next event. They were such a pleasure to work with and the food was beyond delicious. Thank you once again. Carol (Cari) Heald S.E.

“10 out of 10 consistently exceptional! I’ve been eating at all the Bavaro’ locations for 11 years now! I’m also very picky about my Italian food and Neapolitan pizza as a native born of Italy. Very highly recommended all is artisan and handcrafted with authentic organic fresh ingredients daily. Everything I’ve tried every dish and every pizza and it always met a 10 star! ✨“

“Brought my crew in after catering a large group close by for dinner last night. Huge difference from our visit a few years ago. Our server Susan did a great job considering how busy they were. Food was great! One of the owners brought us our drinks, and was very personable- thanks Howie! He was also pitching in doing everything from greeting diners to helping bus tables. Pretty awesome, something I rarely ever see. Old school Italian, cool fish tank- great experience thank you!“

“Novu Bistro serves delicious food and beverages. The waitresses are friendly and engaging. We didn’t wait long for anything and we were a large group. The owners, Tony and Kat, are gracious and hospitable! I loved that the music was low for great conversations! I highly recommend this St. Pete gem!!“
