“The pizza was so delicious, fresh and HOT! I was greeted immediately walking in the door and everyone said thank you and have a great night when leaving. Everyone had a wonderful attitude and seemed to be enjoying their job with smiles on their faces. My food was ready fast and everything was there. I will be sure to order with this location from now on! Keep up the great work guys! God bless ♥️“
“MUST EAT HERE!!! I'm a diehard fan of Carrabba's but after coming back from Rome, I wanted to try something different and go to a local family Italian restaurant. It's crazy when you don't realize what's in your neighborhood. Please overlook the surrounding area and how it's connected to a run down hotel and just enjoy the inside atmosphere and the quality food. Why wasn't this place packed on a Friday night? Maybe because of the location but it's worth traveling and steering away from your normal chain of restaurants.The fresh garlic loaf they brought out to the table that was soaked in olive oil and fresh herbs was spot on.Appetizers: Bruschetta (bread had a wonderful crisp with fresh tomatoes and balsamic vinaigrette) and Fried Mozzarella Cheese (x2 nice size triangle shaped, but would've enjoyed x3 or x4 for the price).Main Course: Gnocchi di Carlo (the wife actually said this was comparable but had many different flavors that jumped at you then Rome had), Veal Parmigiana w/Fettuccini Alfredo (huge portion size with awesome flavor and fried just right. Needed a little more sauce. Fettuccini tasted fresh and flavorful).Dessert: Homemade Cannoli (you can tell this was not frozen or refrigerated but was actually homemade. Awesome)As far as other comments that stated there prices increased or was outrageous, ignore that. There prices are adjusted as they should for the portion size and the fresh food you receive.Thanks for an amazing dinner and we will definitely be back!“
“I live in Tampa and needed to find a very special place for a family bachelorette dinner. A friend suggested The Italian Joint. What a gift!Weeks before I began texting with Erica, the owner. She was incredibly responsive and eager to help me design an event that met my budget and biggest hopes. Every step of the way, Erica made it so easy for me to plan from a distance.My daughter-in-law to be was the bride. She loves Taylor Swift so I suggested guests to have some fun and wear Swiftie attire. I say this to share how amazing Erica is- not only did SHE greet me in a sparkly jacket but she played Taylor Swift music the entire dinner event for us. I could not be more grateful or pleased. Her family and servers were equally kind and pleasant.The homemade food was generous and delicious.The wine was outstanding and several ladies asked me to share the name.Do yourself a favor and go get a great meal there or plan an event.I’ve held events before and can say no one has been more helpful and competent.Thank you, Erica, from our new family by marriage.“
“My wife and I stopped in for date night, we sat in the lounge area and were a little disappointed to see children sitting at the bar. Our server Jake was attentive, friendly, and a joy. With the exception of one of the appetizers all of the food was fantastic. The wait wasn't too bad for a busy night, everything was very clean and presentable both insode and out, and all of the staff was friendly and accommodating. Even as we waited to be seated and the greeter wasn't busy with taking reservations she would wipe the fingerprints from the glass doors.Parking: It was a busy night amd we did have to circle the building twice to find parking.“
“This was about the 5th time now that we have been back to Mama Romano’s. The food is amazing, a very nice and cozy atmosphere and every other Saturday singing by Shelly is just over the top outstanding which makes for a great date night. We have taken our friends here now who raved about it and cannot wait to go back again, which will not be long.“
“We ordered the antipasto salad, and it was nice and fresh. However, the Margherita pizza was not what we expected. It didn't have any red sauce, just mosarella tomato, basil, and evoo. We've been to Italy a few times and had some of the best Margherita pizzas. They have tomato sauce.“
“I was 2 hours from home for a work appointment and walked in as they were 4 minutes from my clients home. I thought oh there are a million italian restaurants they are probably like the rest. No way. The atmosphere was great. I loved the classic Italian music they had on. All the patrons were happy, laughing and enjoying themselves. The staff was helpful, warm, and eager. Then the food came out. HOMEMADE!! It was delicious says the girl that has ancestors from Sardinia. If I am ever back in the area I will be coming in to try another dish. Thanks for the great service and food.“
“This is the one of my favorite pizza place for years, they have always delivered the best pizza for years, they have chorizo pizza and is great. The also have really good alcapurrias, yes! they have alcapurrias made to order and they are better than most places, the malanga and pork alcapurrias are the best, crispy on the outside soft on the inside. This business have being here for around 10 plus years and have mastered the craft of accommodating to their very diverse customer base. L.E.O.s have managed to remain constant over the year and kept delivering the best pizza in town for all those years.“
“We moved to Poinciana about a year ago. We have struggled to find local places with good food, that isn’t fast food. We have tried several restaurants and have not liked the food. The local Mexican restaurant is awful. The pizza is either Pizza Hut or Papa John’s both are not good. Anyway, I was craving a cheesesteak, it was either drive to 192 or 27 or try Slice of New York. WE WERE IMPRESSED! We will definitely be back!! We ordered a pepperoni pizza and 2 cheesesteaks…they were very very tasty!!! I am from the Northeast originally and am picky about pizza and cheesesteaks. Thank you to Slice of NY for providing great tasting food in this area where it’s hard to find!!!“
“Good pizza and great prices. We were getting Pizza Hut for our weekly pizza night, but their prices are crazy high and food quality has gone down. We tried Hungry Howies and are very happy with their food and their prices. Keep up the good work Hungry Howies 17-92 Davenport Florida..“
