Excellent food and service! Their pizza is the best in the area! The Skyway Marina District

Had 1 of their pizza take out. It was great. The only thing that could use a little care is the placement of items on the pizza. All the onions were dropped in the center instead of spread out.

Great neighborhood spot that get's overlooked sometimes, given it's in a strip center.

I went into this restaurant to have dinner. The older gentleman seating guests clearly cared absolutely nothing about customer service or customer satisfaction. I wanted to sit at a table of my choice, knowing that I would be doing some work on my mobile device while finishing up dinner. I requested to be seated a a small table located approximately midway through the restaurant. He stated “No, that’s not gonna work, we are gonna get busy.” After much debate, he sat me at a table of his choice. That was okay. The waitress came as quickly as she could, was super nice and personable. I HAD ALREADY DECIDED THAT I WAS GOING TO GIFT HER AN ENORMOUS TIP. When a booth suddenly became available I asked her if I could sit at a booth that became empty, she said “of course, let me get someone to clean it for you.” I went to the booth, the same older gentleman came barging over (with everyone watching) saying “Ma’am that’s not gonna work, I have a 4-top!” I politely stated “I’ll just leave” and politely left the restaurant. It’s too bad that his had to happen due to his lack of care for customer service, which is so very important these days. Your thoughts?

This was my first time ordering Take out from this restaurant. The staff were extremely pleasant and the food was delicious.

Very good Italian takeout place, although you can dine there as well. I am from New York City and come down to visit family. We always get takeout from here and we are all always very satisfied, which says a lot about being New Yorkers eating Italian/pizza in Florida. ;-) Their salads are great too, the Mediterranean is our favorite.

The meat lasagna, chicken Parmesan and warm homemade bread was served quickly, piping hot, scrumptious and with a warm smile.

This is a great little mom and pop Italian spot in South St. Pete, a true gem to have in the area. The pizza here is one of the best around and worth the drive from anywhere in St. Pete. Every time I’ve eaten here the foods been really good, you can tell the crew takes pride in their work ??
