Restaurants near South Pasadena

“We booked a wine tasting and charcuterie for Saturday-neither disappointed. They had an excellent selection, both of food and wines to taste. And very affordable. Our Sommelier was phenomenal – a great personality, professional with extensive knowledge, and a fun attitude and personality. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and kept a great pace when giving us a tour of the winery. Both made the experience excellent. We highly recommend this winery for an afternoon or tour while in Saint Pete. We’ll be back and recommend to friends!”

“Great service and nice cute ice cream shop! It is a must after a beach day!”

“I currently live in Jacksonville. Whenever I come back to St Pete, my trip always consists of Spiro's homemade Spanikopita, pasta salad and chicken Lemon soup. The staff is friendly and always service with a 😊.”

“My son, mom and I stopped in for an early dinner after my son's basketball game. This was our 1st time here and we absolutely loved the food. I highly recommend the "Cool ranch rider" has a nice kick to it the only thing I did differently was ranch instead of mayo and banana peppers instead of hot peppers. My son had the "Turkey bacon" minus onion and tomato as well as sub the mayo for ranch he absolutely loved it!! My mom got the "Roast Beast" loved hers as well!! We decided to try the Lemon Blueberry cheesecake, it too was delicious!! We will definitely be back!! The ladies that helped us with our order were super sweet and made us feel very welcomed!! Loved the vibe. Reggae music playing as well, just overall a great place!! We were at the 3rd Avenue location for reference!!”

“Have been curious about this restaurant and we finally gave it a try. The food was delicious and our waiter Jamie was awesome! They now have two loyal customers!”

“Buona ristorante (aka Buona pizza) advertises themselves as a classy Italian restaurant. This place is nothing more than a pizza joint. Extremely small inside with paper table cloths that they tear off from a big roll on the back wall. Ordered garlic bread and calamari for appetizer. Garlic bread was OK, calamari was so tough you could not even chew it. My mom's OSSO BUCO ALLA MILANESE (pork shank) was seasoned good, but I could tell it was cooked earlier and then heated up. The outside of the pork was warm, but the middle was stone cold. My wife and I got a Hawaiian pizza. It is thin crust and extremely soggy. Could not even pick up the pizza slice it was so soft. Had a horrible, weird tast me to it, almost like a sour tomato sauce. Barely even ate one slice and left the rest of it there. Went there for birthday dinner, and it was ruined. I guess our first red flag should have been that on a Saturday evening, it was not even busy.”

“The wings were delicious, service is friendly and great. Also had fresh spring rolls phenomenal”

“All I can say is you got to try this place. TOTALLY blows everything else out of the water in the St Pete/Tampa area. These guys really know what they're doing. Really cool Mojo to go along with a great vibe.”

“From the very start we were greeted with a warm welcome. Our server, Taffanne was very polite, friendly and made us feel”

“Great breakfast cafe. Beautiful patio for outdoor dining. Food was delicious.”

“Great atmosphere Mahi Tacos exceptional lot of wait staff to help with your needs”

““Charcuterie? More like Char-cu-dreamy.”

Listen, if I were a mouse with a credit card and refined taste, I would absolutely blow my tiny rodent salary at Lolita’s Wine Market every single weekend. This place is cheese-and-meat heaven, and frankly, it should be illegal to have this much flavor under one roof.

First of all, let’s talk boards. You think you're going in for a cute date night, next thing you know you’re six cheeses deep into The Lola Board wondering if you should text your ex just to show them what they’re missing. (Spoiler: don’t. Just order more prosciutto.)

We went full send with the Gambas al Ajillo and Paella, and let me tell you, I blacked out from joy somewhere between “jumbo shrimp” and “chimichurri.” I came back to consciousness with a spoonful of Fire + Ice ceviche, which sounds like a Game of Thrones spin-off, but instead, it’s ahi tuna with lychee, jalapeño, and a granita that slapped me across the soul.

The dates (not your Hinge match, the edible kind) were stuffed with chorizo and gorgonzola, and I’m still emotionally recovering. Sweet, spicy, creamy, and possibly magical. If Cupid made tapas, this would be it.

Need to feel fancy? Order the Delice de Bourgogne triple cream and say it loudly so the whole patio knows you have impeccable taste and probably own a cheese knife set. Then hit ‘em with a duck mousse port wine pâté chaser because life’s short and pâté is a flex.

Wine? Yes, obviously. Pair it with everything. Pair it with your thoughts. Pair it with that internal voice that says, “Get the pineapple-date chutney too.” (Spoiler: It’s right.)

Pro tip: Don’t skip the spreads. The whipped feta and ricotta were so divine I briefly considered smearing them directly on my face. They come with ciabatta, but I could’ve eaten them with a flip-flop and still been thrilled.

In short, Lolita’s isn’t just a wine bar—it’s a lifestyle. It’s where cheese dreams go to be fulfilled, and where even the dates (again, the food kind) are stuffed with ambition. If you’re not here by sundown with a glass in hand and a beet carpaccio in your mouth, wyd???

I’d give it 6 stars if I could. One for each cheese-induced tear of joy.”

“The absolute BEST empanadas in town! Muy delicioso!”
