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!”

“We had the best dinner at Poke Falls. We enjoyed a tuna bowl, salmon roll and hibachi bowl, mango boba tea and tarot smoothie. Everything was prepared in front of us and super fast. The restaurant owners (we presume) were super friendly great hosts. We will be back and be ordering delivery.”

“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!!”

“First of all, good choice of the cafe title Marquise (might also be a top list diamond cut for me 🥲😁). I lead us (me and my getaway🚗🏝️ partner) to this cozy cafe by accident, as all good things happen. Honestly, it wasn't what I expected coming into the door. But, I don't judge my intuition. I picked this place and how glad that I did and that we stayed. It is spacious and unordinary space, some things aren't super obvious. 𝐐𝐮𝐢𝐜𝐤 𝐍𝐨𝐭𝐞: Please come up to the front to see their FULL Menu. They have most anything and everything you might want made (even escargot, the classic style!) 𝕊𝕡𝕠𝕚𝕝𝕖𝕣 𝕒𝕝𝕖𝕣𝕥: we were there the next morning also 🥐🍳☕️! The owners are such good humans, as they are accommodating and genuine. In fact, they ran out to get fresh ingredients to make sure what my hun ordered was 𝒄𝒉𝒆𝒇'𝒔 𝒌𝒊𝒔𝒔 (aka delicious) 👩‍🍳. That makes one feel special, but also they care a lot about your experience 😇. And I felt as if I landed in some side street next door cafe in Paris, France. All this to say, I think you won't find yourself at a better spot than this one in the morning, ie to get your 𝓵𝓮 𝓶𝓪𝓽𝓲𝓷 𝓸𝓾 𝓵𝓪 𝓳𝓸𝓾𝓻𝓷é𝓮 𝓪 𝓬𝓸𝓶𝓶𝓮𝓷𝓬é (that's "morning or day started" ;)) You are also likely to find interesting folks to spark up a conversation with or to receive an inside scoop on anything of interest to you, such as cool spots to visit while there, or the local happenings. Better than Google or local 🗞️📰 ~ Absolutely returning! 💎”

“Asian House has become my lunch time regular and it never disappoints! I always get the orange chicken — it’s absolutely delicious every time. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the service is top-notch. The people who work here are genuinely kind and make every visit feel special. Highly recommend!!!”

“We have gotten the pizza but I will hands down always get the Stromboli most times ,I’m glad they are close and always good with promptness”

“I love the caramel licious, with caramel cold foam ice, I’ve also tried their peanut butter blender, their Oreo blender. I honestly think they are the revolutionary of coffee. It’s delicious. Give it a try, thought it was cute. They had some little kid drawings in the window too as well. Drive-through only”

“I usually don't leave reviews for fast food. I did however make an exception for over the top food and service at this location. Very clean behind the counter and out front. Efficiently run and food was hot and fresh”

“Amazing food and relaxing atmosphere. I’ll definitely be back!”

“The food was absolutely great, we had subs, pizza and salad. My favorite is the steak sub. You have to try it if you are in Largo. The service was also absolutely 💯 👌. Loved the outside area. The restaurant was the cleanest I've ever seen.”

“Great clean ice cream place. Great selection of all kinds of flavors of different ice creams.”

“This place makes you feel like you’re in Turkey with music and decor. The food was absolutely delicious. Mehmet and Tugce served us gracefully. My husband said he just found a piece of heaven.”

“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.”

“Megan the Bartender is Awesome! Great Service! Great Drinks! I’m a local restaurant manager and I approve!! Thanks Megan!! You rock!!”

“The apps and entrees were really good. Dessert was not our favorite. Oil and olives in ice cream and cookies? Strawberry pepper ice cream? Not again for us. Menu changes about quarterly. Service was good.”

“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!”

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

“The moment you walk in, the scent of food was incredible! Service was excellent. The food was delicious! The place is very clean and inviting! If you love spicy food, you can't go wrong here!”

“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.”

“Convenient location, bright and aesthetic! I love coming in during the week to get some work done. Their food and drinks are top tier & the staff is welcoming and friendly! I also bought their cute shirts for my daughter! Would give more stars if I could”

““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.”
