“Incredible menu and equally incredibly prepared and served. I haven’t enjoyed such amazing menu in more than a decade. Finally a truly wonderful celebration of fresh ingredients and fantastic flavors. Going out to fancy dinners and seeing another steak menu with asparagus and Gallic mashed potatoes is so 2022; I’m done with that nonsense. Thank you, Rocca! ❤️“
“Trattoria Pasquale is an absolute gem! From the moment you step inside, the warm and inviting ambiance sets the stage for a delightful dining experience. The staff is attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, making you feel right at home. The menu is a delightful blend of traditional Italian dishes and innovative creations. Each dish is bursting with flavor and made with fresh, high-quality ingredients. Overall, Trattoria Pasquale is a must-visit Italian restaurant in Tampa. With its authentic flavors, welcoming ambiance, and exceptional service, it promises a memorable dining experience that will keep you coming back for more.“
“I highly recommend the Tori's wings, the cheese fries and the Little Cuban pizza (I get that without the chicken on it). The Balboa with steak is also great. Whether it's eating in, taking out or delivered the food is always fresh and hot and delicious.Best wings and cheese fries I've ever had and one of the best pizzas I've had too.“
“Brought a group of 8 in tonight for dinner. Everyone loved their meals. I ordered the Sacchettini with Grilled Shrimp. This might be the best pasta dish I have ever had in my life. I didn't know how the pear would work with the pasta but WOW... it was out of this world!! Everything from the bread to the dessert (tried the cannoli, and mousse cake) was perfectly prepared. The chef is very talented here and you can taste their love of true Italian cuisine! I can't wait to try more things on the menu.“
“Best Italian restaurant I’ve been to in my life. Food was delicious, the atmosphere and energy was warm and comfortable and the people were kind, patient and friendly. Definitely will be back!Dietary restrictions: You can substitute the pasta for gluten free pasta! Which not many restaurants are willing to do.“
“I was at a place where the service I received was the best service I experienced in Tampa, the owner of the place welcomed me with a big smile after seeing that I had a really long day and I was really tired and hungry, until I got the pizza he treated me to Coca Cola so that the smile would return to m y face.then he brought me a marinade sauce that made the taste of the pizza increase in several stages, I will go back there every time I want a pizza and I recommend it to everyone!“
“I have visited this restaurant several times and always enjoy it very much. Tonight’s meal was my favorite (even tho the lasagna is great). The Fagioli All Uccelletto (cooked beans Italian style) ate like the most delicious bean soup I’ve had. Frammi didn’t scrimp on the sausage and has created the most delicious and rich base that was so flavorful. I enjoyed it so much I placed an order to go for lunch or dinner tomorrow.Don’t miss out on this friendly, clean and delicious neighborhood restaurant. BTW-the bathrooms are the cleanest I’ve seen in a restaurant.“
“Love the Noble Crust on Dale Mabry. Food is always amazing, staff is always friendly and the restaurant is so cute. Me and my husband get cravings. Highly recommend the pizza or ragu, start with the garlic knots and red sauce, ? the espresso martinis are out of this world good. Definitely a place worth going to.“
“If you’re looking for an authentic Italian, fine dining experience this is the place! Friendly staff , family owned, great atmosphere in general! The food is superb, large selection of wine. This restaurant will make you feel like you’re in Italy when they have a staff singing Italian songs to the diners. It’s just amazing! We will be back for sure!“
“I came into your restaurant tonight as a DoorDash driver picking up an order. The amount of love and patience you showed my sons was so amazing, full house and you still made time to make it a memorable time for my boys thank you so much for your hospitality I can’t wait to come back and try all the wonderful food!“
“This place has been a favorite for 6 years now, always call ahead as early as possible for reservations these days. We had a huge Xmas friends dinner here two years ago with 15 of us and it was just spectacular. BYOB and the specials are always where it's at, the quail is killer.Parking: Small lot only a few spaces, carpool if you can!“
“Amazing venue for our engagement dinner. We sat at the bar and the bartender Evelyn was an absolute joy. She was super nice and was on her "A" game. We were greeted by a gentleman named Tyler who had us laughing from the get go. Our waitress Laura was an absolute doll as well. Would highly recommend!!!“
“The staff at Maggiano's was professional and so easy to work with in planning the rehearsal dinner for my son. The event was last weekend and couldn't have been more perfect. The atmosphere in the private dining room was elegant, intimate, and the family style food service kept the tables lively and guests engaged. Food was excellent, service outstanding. I highly recommend Maggiano's for an event!“
“I was starving so my photo does not do justice to the food. Portions are very generous. Big thumbs up to the chicken schwarma and Greek fries. Carnitas was only OK. The pork was well done, but the flavors were sort of one dimensional. Still worth a return visit!“
“Always a fabulous experience! Nick, our server, was very attentive and professional as are all the servers at Caffe Paradiso. We had two of the specials which were a grouper piccata with lump lobster meat and a squid ink pasta with seafood. Both were delicious. At the end of our meal, the owner even stopped by to check on us and ask about our experience. Five stars!!“
“Spent a week looking for a romantic restaurant with great food and great ambiance. I stumbled upon Donatello and decided this was place. Brought my wife her for our anniversary and was not disappointed! The valet was nice upon arrival. As soon as we walked in the host was warm and greeted us and asked how we were and if were celebrating anything. The waiter was very nice as well as rest of wait staff. The food.......AMAZING!!!! Then the waiter surprised us with a complimentary piece of cake for our anniversary.... nice touch. The prices are reasonable especially for the quality of food! We will definitely return and recommend this place to others.“
“I like this restaurant. Almost gave them 3 or 4 stars overall because the bartender tried to reserve a first come first serve bar table for her friends who weren’t even there yet while I was literally walking to the table the hostess told me to sit at. But they removed the reserved sign and in the end my server was great (again, it was a first come first serve section). Guard was up after that but they made me feel welcomed so it’s all good. The dry aged ribeye at $48 with two sides was a bargain for the quality. I’ll visit them again“
“Amazing place owned and operated by an amazing woman and her family. Knowing we were homeless and on a tight budget, she made sure my service dog was able to eat too. Food came out piping hot within 15 minutes. First bite to an all meat pizza and we were addicted. Our dog was offered some meat balls on the house. Her and her daughter donated some blankets the next day to make sure we stayed warm at night. Thank you so much and God bless!“
“It is one of my favorite spots in the Carrollwood area, but this time it has to be a four. They have too many "Grandma" dishes, so make sure the waiter hears you as to exactly which one you want through all the noise. I received the wrong one. My daughter ordered the lasagna and she could not get passed the first couple of bites, as it was dry and didn't have any flavor. The lobster ravioli at least was the hit of the table. They are better than the Olive Garden for sure, but we were let down this last visit. Maybe next time is a five.“
“Came in 30 minutes before close and the staff couldn’t care less. We were served with the utmost respect even if we were an inconvenience to them on a slow week night. From the Bruschetta to start, to the pasta and chicken as our entree, then finishing with dessert the entire meal was spectacular and has us wanting to come again next time we visit Tampa!“
“I visited Tampa for a week and had an amazing experience at Water + Flour. The food was absolutely delicious and came out in a timely manner. I ended up visiting the restaurant multiple times during my visit and was taken care of throughout the whole trip by France and her staff at the restaurant.They all made sure that the food came out just as I ordered and the customer service was amazing. France checked on myself and my party multiple times to make sure that we were doing OK and the staff was very friendly staff attentive making for a great experience.I’ll definitely be visiting again next time I’m in Florida“
“My whole family loves Bavaro's, and it says a lot coming from a New York Italian family. Dominic was our server and he was awesome. The food was 10/10, every single thing we ate was amazing in its own way. I can't recommend Bavaro's enough!“
“I live quite a ways a way from this place and have 3 other Hungry Howie's much closer to me. I come here because they don't come close. I can only hope that a few folks will see this comment and give them a visit. It's worth the drive people. Can't get enough of what they're doing for such an affordable pie. If you're in to savory with some salt and a nice spice that won't kill the other flavors but still add a nice heat ask for it Rays way. Ray, I can only hope someone sees this and orders it and happens to have a following a pie like this deserves then the world can know. Great work you guys. You deserve a line out the door.“
“Great place! Buddy and I went out for drinks last night. We typically bar hop very sporadically, but we found ourselves hanging out there for a few hours. Staff was outstanding, fun, and made our night interesting in the best possible way. Definitely the best bar in Soho.“
“Our first time here and we were not disappointed. I almost forgot pictures as you can see. My Pollo Rosso was to die for. The heat was just enough for a really nice kick. My husband opted for a calzone. Can I say Huge was an understatement? For dessert both the cheesecake and the raspberry brulee were the perfect ending to a our dining experience.“
“I wish I asked for the name of this gentleman but the owner of the shop was an absolute pleasure to deal with! A genuine, nice & helpful person who made sure my experience was great and it was! Amazing service and food, 20/10 for sure! Will be coming back! :)“
“The chef who made my steak today deserves a raise. Every single bite of my 16 oz strip was orgazmic. Perfectly charred, perfect temperature. The crusted Gorgonzola was perfection too. I don’t think I’ve ever had a better steak. Thank you for that experience Mr “
“Great food…. consistently great food. Oh yes, and they have great service. No kidding if you’re in the mood for great Italian food served by really friendly people who are very knowledgeable and can discuss every item and ingredient on the menu with you, then this is the place for you.“
“We ordered chicken wings with honey and chili sauce, delicious. Also, ordered the charcuterie waygu beef delicious as well bread basket, and a surprise meal ordered for one of our party he couldn’t decide so the server surprised it was pasta, chicken ??? But was delicious too.“
“Everything was perfect! The food, the service, the location! Vela has every detail down to the volume of the music and their wine selection down to a fine T! What can I say but exceptional! Thank you so much to Ashley our server, she was phenomenal and paced our dinner perfectly, while managing a full bar of guests. Kudos to her for making one of the best tasting Espresso Martinis in Tampa! Food has Rocca shook and drinks have Luv Child BEAT. For an added bonus come on hospitality night.To the owner … you ate this up! Bravo’“
“Stellar food and cozy ambience delivered with passion and authenticity. If you're a lover of bona fide Italian food and appreciate gourmet cuisine you owe it to yourself to experience the magic Antonio and his team yield. In an age of boring, multi-million dollar restaurant build outs that look like banks rather than restaurants it's refreshing to enter an independently owned mom and pop restaurant inside a candle-lit house that reminds you of lovely dining spots in Europe, Charleson, Savannah and New Orleans. Many of the dishes are literally prepared tableside, and Chef Antonio eloquently describes the ingredients, the process and the origin of each dish. The experience is anything but standard or mundane. Pasta made in house. Cheese made in house. Air Dried meats in house. Stellar wine list. Need I say more? ;)“
“Despite me having to send my food back due to me not liking the pasta texture, I guess that is a me thing and not a chef thing.. I do like my pasta aldente but seeemed like it was consistent. I enjoyed my visit here. The atmosphere was great. Nice spot for a date night..“
“I never EVER do reviews but here i am.Me and my family went out last night 3/28 for my grandpa and mom’s birthday and our server STEVEN made our experience so much better! The patience he had with a group of 11 was amazing! Kept a smile on his face and alwayyyss made sure we were okay and everything was stocked up with salads and breads. SOMEONE GIVE THIS MANN A RAISEEEEEE LOL! No but forreal thank you Steven for such an amazing night!“
“If you are looking for the best NY style Pizza this is it hands down . Worth the trip best crust good sauce to cheese ratio ,no weird taste ,not burnt ,no gimmicks , good product. Winner by a land slide .I am Originally from Brooklyn ,New York on a mission to find a spot and this is it .“
“The food was amazing, the servers were all cute little waitresses, and the look of the place fit the authenticity of the food, extremely good tasting food, the price is a little high for the average little Italian restaurant but when you bite into the food you know why, high quality ingredients from Italy! Over all really happy to have made it out to dinner here shout out to Franco who personally comes to your table to check on you! Loved it“
“Delicious!!!!! Ledos was our favorite restaurant back home and we've been missing it since moving. We were super excited to find out there was a Ledos in the area while visiting Tampa. We drove 30 minutes to get there from our vacation spot and it was worth it!“
“Really cool place, great food. They have live music pretty routinely but the volume is at a tasteful level so you can still hold conversations. There’s usually a good mix of people who are dressed up and people who are super casual. One of my favorite spots to take people.“
“We were blown away by the quality of everything we ordered. The kimchi bolognese was INCREDIBLE. The sauces were full of flavor and everything was fresh. The service was great, and they had suggestions on how to mix and match the items we bought. Will definitely be visiting again to try everything.“
“I have never had a better pizza! It truly is made from the heart! It's amazing even both my 5 and 4 year old boys said it was the best pizza they ever had!! Great music playing nice outside area to enjoy the food! I will be back ALOT!! seriously so so ? good!!!“
“This is probably the best pizza place I've ever ate at. They got many choices but me and my family got wings, mozzarella sticks and a medium pizza. The food was great, place was clean, and it didn't take long to get our food. Go here if you want paradise in your mouth ???“
“Our family loves takeout from Westchase Pizza.The new owners have improved the food and added some great items to the menu.Pizza is the best in the area. I’m a fan of the Chicken Parmigiana and their Hawaiian Pizza! Yes, pineapple on my pizza. ;-)They hire local teens from my neighborhood, which I really like. It’s a great family atmosphere.“
“I was here during spring break with a group of conference attendees. It is a big space and they were able to seat our group of eight with no reservation as soon as we walked in on a Friday night at about 8 pm. The table ordered a couple of pizzas and apps to split. I, however, am vegan and ended up getting a bruschetta without the mozzarella. The topping was quite flavorful and the bread was a crunchy style, which definitely would have benefitted from the mozzarella to add a little extra fat. My fault, I know.The menu didn't have a lot of vegan-friendly options, but there were plenty of vegetarian-friendly options. I opted to keep it simple and stick to my plate of modified bruschetta, rather than request a pizza without cheese, which could be another option for my fellow vegans out there dining with groups.One note about service was that they accidentally brought us an incorrect pizza (an entirely different type of the menu). They immediately apologized when we pointed it out, said we could have it for free, and then went to make the correct one. Mistakes happen, especially in that loud environment. I would call that good service.The space was quite loud. If you are dining with a large group, it is a feat to hold a conversation, but that is standard for a lot of restaurants we went to there.The restaurant space itself is quite cool, in an old bank on a vibrant street. I wish we could have also visited the area in the morning, but at night it was a fun street to walk around and only like 7 stops on the free trolley car from the conference center.My companions were very happy with their food and I suspect if I had been a bit more creative I could have put together another option for myself.Vegetarian options: Vegan options require adaptation and are limited, but plenty of vegetarian options.“
“Our waiter, Shawn, was super attentive and professional. Our only negative from today's experience was being next to one table where the patrons were on speaker phone with someone, for a pretty extensive period of time. Approximately 10 minutes later a group sat nearby with a very young child, a cryer to say the least. Aside from that, the restaurant, service, and food were great. Really hoping for an Olive Garden in Hernando County soon.“
“If you're looking for good pizza this is your place. Fresh and made to order. Also had the wings they were very delicious. I recommend their signature sauce for your wings. You will not be disappointed. Overall good experience I will eat there again.“
“Although it's a chain restaurantCarrabbas never disappoints.Their chicken soup with the warm bread always hits the spot. So does their calamari fritti.If I want a good family dinner with solid food and excellent service, this is where I go. It has become a bit pricey overwhelmed years, but I always have a doggie bag to eat the next day. If they have their seasonal lemo cello bread pudding, get it, you won't regret it.Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly.“
“Amazing pizza, great atmosphere, the four star for service is because the wait times for my two visits were significant. I will certainly be back and amend my rating if the other two long wait experiences were not indicative of a typical Anthony's visit.“
“The food and service at Cena is amazing! I had to try the meatballs that beat Bobby Flay and they did not disappoint. My husband got the bronzino which looked amazing. He loved the warm salad it was served with. We were seated right by the door in a high traffic area but everything was still great!“
“Delicious food, attentive service and the chicken piccata was outstanding! However, everything was quite pricey. For a counter service, casual restaurant, we didn't expect to spend nearly $80 for a family of 4. We'll definitely be going back again, just not as often as we'd like.“
“Jordyn was a fantastic server!! We cannot say enough good things about her. It was our first time there (the group of us are from Canada) and she was so efficient, kind, and sweet! She was working so hard yet kept making sure to check in on us constantly. Thank you for making our experience unforgettable, Jordyn!! ❤️- the 4 girls from Canada you served on 13/04/24 around 4pm“
“Great spot for business dinners or date nights. Truthfully I was drawn in by the building because it looks so intriguing from the outside and I was just as impressed once we were inside. It isn’t too loud in there so if going for business or on a date night you can converse without having to strain to hear one another. The staff were all friendly and attentive. ??The preparation and presentation fully reflected the care that’s put into curating the Olivia experience.We had filet mignon, scallops, mushroom risotto, pasta, tomato and burrata, charcuterie, and the MUST HAVE garlic bread and enjoyed all of it! I imagine their cocktails must be good if you’re going for drinks because our non-alcohol cocktails were delicious (*this is a big plus for us because we don’t consume alcohol but we do love flavorful beverages when we’re dining*). ?“
