“As I entered it was friendly and warm feeling. Great staff. The Chef extremely friendly and helpful with menu. Food was delicious and the taste is Italian indeed. The food presentation was on point. I requested extra meatballs and they were eager to please and truly worth it. Definitely my new Italian spot moving forward.
Thank you Forchetta for an extraordinary experience.“

“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 were driving by this pizzeria frequently and never stopped in. we finally did last night and were pleasantly surprised at the quality and taste of the pies. highly recommended to all. nice young couple from Long island trying to get established. we are recommending this place to all. it was delicious and super fresh ingredients...“

“I have enjoyed many Italian restaurants in my home state of NJ, and this is by far a top notch restaurant! The food and staff are phenomenal and unmatched. I recommend this to anyone who visits the area!“

“food is excellent. I don't even know where to begin, the garlic knots I can't stop buying them every few days I just have to have them in the house I have them when I have a salad or if I'm in a hurry and I have a microwave dinner it turns it into a real meal. the pizza is the greatest in the entire County and the meatball sub I can't get enough of them. I'm so glad they reopened. they were previously in Rutland Plaza for like 30 years. so happy I can finally get a good pizza again. actually everything's really really good but I always seem to order the pizza ,garlic knots and meatballs sub. my mom loves the Italian sub, the bread is good.“

“This is my favorite restaurant in Tampa Bay. The food is excellent. The surroundings are so warming and aesthetic. I love the creative chef and all the homemade bread, pasta, creative salads. Highly recommend this treat!!!!“

“My new favorite Italian restaurant!! Beautiful place, amazing food and great staff!“

“If you haven’t tried their pizza yet, what are you waiting for.. You will not be disappointed..“

“Was not used to or prepared for the crust. I was educated on what Chicago Pizza truly is by a native LOL it is a very thin crispy crust, but it is not like a New York City where you can pick up a piece of pizza and fold it in your hands. It is very crispy it was still pretty good“

“Good Food, but Rushed We were the first customers of the day—early for us. I think the servers meant well, but everything was rushed. I felt like I was in a fast casual restaurant rather than a place where I would spend $125 for the two of us. Slow it down a bit and let us digest for a minute before dropping the next course. The food was good. We started with the recommended Bruschetta. It isn’t typical. Instead, the topping is in an accompanying bowl. The topping was delicious—how can you go wrong with tomatoes, basil and garlic in balsamic vinegar? We then shared a bowl of their special tomato bisque and it was delicious. We also shared a Caesar salad which my wife thought was too garlicy (I’m not sure that’s possible), so I ate her share. The server had asked me if I did or didn’t want anchovies on my salad so I said sure, but on the side. I had no idea that I’d be charged an extra $2.50, especially since it didn’t say that on the menu. Shame, shame. For mains I had the Pasta Pescatore which was good, but a little oily. My wife had the Chicken Piccata which she enjoyed. We accompanied those with some wines by the glass from their decent collection and they were fairly priced. I might go back, but I’d be clear with the server about not being rushed.“

“The food, service, and atmosphere was excellent. Very relaxing dinner.“

“WOW! I ordered the DaVinci hot sub. This reminds me of how my Italian Grandma made her breaded chicken cutlets. It doesn't get anymore authentic than this. This place has a corner store vibe and the food is something special. The service was excellent even though they were out of some ingredients. Now I know how they make their food I would've ordered anything they have in stock.“

“Sal is amazing! I have visited his store since the late 70s. Still awesome products and the vintage vibe I remember as a kid! Thank you!“

“It's perfect! probably the best food truck in Miami.“

“The kindest people you ever wanna meet they opened right after Milton to provide a hot meal.“

“Wonderful food! Great setting and they treat you like family! recommended with 5 stars!“

“Fast service and delicious food!“

“Being raised on pizza in NJ and NYC, this is really good pizza. The thin drooping crust filled with cheese and pepperoni that makes you want to hold that first bite in your mouth. Then, slightly different from a slice in Brooklyn, the crust is artisan pizza like just inside the final edge, which has the familiar crunch. A great pizza overall.“

“Ate here today the food was great!“

“Phenomenal!! The best experience! One of the part owners, Ish, served us. It was as if we were at a family meal! He had wonderful food and wine recommendations. The portions were large but it didn’t compromise on the quality. Can’t say enough good things, we can’t wait to come back on our next trip!“

“food, service, friendly atmosphere and decor.“

“After Hurricane Milton and power outages, came to Olive Garden for a drink at the bar and to sit for awhile and relax. Dillion the bartender was fabulous.
The Olive Garden was the only restaurant open on our area and was slammed. Dillion didn’t miss a beat and was very attentive. We got take out to go and the food was still very hot when we got home to eat.“

“Enjoyable evening with delicious food and amazing service from Nicole. Food was all so very fresh, the chicken was so tender. Service was wonderful and we cannot wait to return. Nicole was so accommodating and professional. Thank you Carrabba's for such a great night!“

“We are here from Michigan on vacation and decided to give this pizza joint a try. This is one of the best pizza’s that I have ever had, and I’ve had many. I should add that the service is also great and every one of the employees greeted us as we walked in. Will definitely be returning when we come back to Florida.“

“First time in 10.30.24
Service was awesome, very friendly! The pizza is fresh and delicious, the crust is crispy and perfect! We enjoyed a large pie half pep & pineapple with a slice from the window(so delicious) not to mention the bathrooms are exceptionally clean! We will definitely be back!!“

“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!“

“On 11/3 about 3:30 I stoped to have a beer. Totally drained as I lost everything w/Helene. Just wanted to relax and sit outside. Alissa was my server. Asked if I was hungry. No I really cannot afford this…just great to be out!!! When she came back a bit later w my bill she had a to go order w spaghetti and two huge meatballs and garlic bread!! N/Charge!!! What a wonderful thoughtful thing to do!!! Of course I cried… Kudos to Alissa and CD Romas for being so kind and generous!!! I am so grateful!!!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️??☮️??“

“First time dining here and it was an amazing dinner! The food is delicious and the service was top notch. Susan and all the staff really made us feel welcome. Great atmosphere for date night and gathering with friends and family. Recommend the Caprese App, Chicken Piccata, and Bacon, Pear, Blue Cheese Flatbread and the Red Sangria.“

“The food was delicious but what made my day was my server Jennifer. She was welcoming and on top of everything. Her suggestions were in point. I would ask for her service to go with my food ANYTIME!“

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

“Excellent service - GREAT food!“

“Amazingly delicious! Fabulous service and beautiful deck on the waterfront!! It’s everything a dining experience should be…“

“Never judge a book by its cover, bc this is one of those instances where you’ll be glad you didn’t. We’re from NYC and North Jersey and are snobs for when it comes down to great Italian food. This is one of those place man.. We started our date night with their house salad with some freshly cracked pepper(10/10) and their piping hot bread. (So good!) I had the shrimp and crab in a pink creamy sauce over angel hair (ohhh my) while my husband had a Chilean seabass grilled with a nice lemon creamy sauce. (Boyyy) folllowed by a tiramisu. It was better than we expected. I should’ve taken a pic but just take my word for it.“

“LOVED the spagetti marinara & meatballs, very tasty and full of flavor! The garlic knots that came with it were super good too! Fun place! Live music on the outdoor patio too! Friendly & attentive staff! Can't wait to be back and try more items on the menu!😉🥰✌️“

“I very seldom write a review but our experience at Gigis on Treasure Island last night was exceptional. The food was excellent but even if it had not been, the service was so exceptional we would not have noticed. I called him the ghost server. Every time I would start to ask for something it was already on our table and we never saw it delivered. If you want exceptional service ask for Hiram the next time you eat there. You will not be disappointed.“

“Great staff and always good food.“

“Food was awesome! Great place to stop.“
