“A fabulous true Italian restaurant. Don’t be fooled by the others. If you would like a true taste of Italian food come to Fammi. If you are Italian please come eat here. Luca and Erica are amazing cooks and hosts. Diego took very good care of us. I have spent time in Italy. My mom lived in Italy. She and her husband Giancarlo cooked Italian food. This took me back to their beautiful and delicious dinners. Treat yourself to a real meal and come to Fammi.“

“Summer Roll and Beef Broth with Vermicelli and all the proteins! This was to die for, so packed full favors! We Would highly recommend Gao Restaurant, the service was top notch and excellent food!“

“Best doughnuts and egg sandwiches in town! Reasonable prices as well, which is hard to find these days. Hands down Tampa's best kept secret!“

“visit from Ohio, always stop in.“

“The açaí bowl was fresh, flavorful, and super refreshing. The açaí base was smooth and not overly sweet, topped with perfectly ripe fruit, crunchy granola, and many more. A healthy and satisfying treat that feels like dessert but fuels you like a meal. Definitely worth trying! I got the P-Bowl and the cup size was huge!“

“Bo’s Ice Cream is a Tampa treasure! This old-school stand has been serving up sweet, creamy happiness since 1954—and you can taste the history in every bite. Whether you’re a soft-serve purist, a milkshake fan, or someone who needs sprinkles on everything, Bo’s has something nostalgic and delicious for everyone.

The ice cream is always smooth, flavorful, and perfectly portioned. The vanilla and chocolate swirl is a classic, but their dipped cones and banana splits are just as crave-worthy. And don’t sleep on the milkshakes—thick, rich, and just the right kind of indulgent.

What makes Bo’s even better is the atmosphere: friendly service, reasonable prices, and that charming retro walk-up window that feels like stepping back in time. It’s the kind of place where generations of locals bring their kids, and tourists stumble upon it and instantly get why it’s beloved.

If you’re in Tampa and looking for a sweet treat that hits every note—Bo’s is the spot. Fast service, good vibes, and unbeatable ice cream. A true local legend!“

“I ordered gyro and cheese pide and French fries to go.. Gentleman very helpful with my selection. Food was cook to order and he made me Turkish Black Tea while I waited. Place very clean and the food was delicious 🤤 🫶🏾 I definitely will go there often especially since they’re close by“

“The food the energy the customer service EVERYTHING 1000000%!!!! I will be back every time I come to Tampa! That steak bagel is gonna hate to see me coming.“

“I’m in Greece. No, not really. We just found the best Greek restaurant ever. It’s called Psomi. My goodness, so delicious. On February 20, our first time here, we had bread basket/psomi bread, le meunier butter, organic extra virgin olive oil, jam, and Greek scrambled with caramelized onion, roasted cherry tomato, creamy feta, grilled baguette. We liked the restaurant so much we came back the next day. We had chicken souvlaki - Greek yogurt brined organic breast, tzatziki, tomato, red onion, stuffed with cut fries, wrapped in a warm pita. Then we came back again on Sunday February 23 for some Greek style breakfast.“

“I’ve been there a few times for lunch and I will continue to go. Delicious food, great service and prices are reasonable. Love this restaurant!“

“This place was so delicious, we came in twice in one week. So impressed with the quality of food and the ambiance. I have been a fan of Bern's Steak House since 2015, however, we have never eaten at their sister restaurant. Last week was our 1st time visiting Haven. It was our son's birthday and we decided to try this restaurant featuring New American small plates, wine & cocktails as per recommendation of my friend. Tuna Sashimi, Hamachi Sashimi, Shaved Beef Taco, Seared Foie Gras, Cheese platter and Coal Grilled Octopus as appetizers were all 10/10. As for the main course we opted in for Glacier 51 Sea Bass (O.M.G.), Arctic Char, 8oz Filet Mignon (perfectly trimmed) and 10 oz Dry-Aged Strip. Drinks, 'Margarita', 'Lemon Drop' and 'Moscow Mule', were good as well with the exception of the 'Duck Duck Jeep' (it was an odd one). We did not try their desserts (both times) as 1st time visiting we brought a cake for our son's birthday, however, we were never super impressed with Berns' dessert room. I know it may sound weird to many as they are known for their desserts, but truthfully, we have had desserts at other local restaurants that we prefer over Berns'. Service by Madeline K. was on point, however, she accidentally forgot to place the main course item for our birthday boy, so he ended up getting his filet about 15 minutes after everyone else received their meals. It did not spoil our night as she brought out the cake with large candle with sparkles and it was fantastic! Our son was so surprised and I was able to capture some awesome pictures of him with his cake and candles. Overall an excellent experience by everyone: valet guy, bussers, food runners, hostesses and the wait staff. We also appreciated the fact that we were seated at a larger table/couch with brighter lights vs more of a romantic, darker tables. Our second time we requested to sit outside which was nice as it was a pleasant evening. Haven's tacos are my husband's favorite in Tampa and we ordered 16 of them that night. If you are not up to dressing up in your best outfits, but would like a nice quality meal, Haven is your spot!“

“Cali is my favorite place in the area. The food is amazing and is served very fast. It is a restaurant where you never have to worry about the quality being “off”.

The staff is incredible! Jillian is amazing and makes you feel truly cared for. Jose is the man! Everyone is so welcoming and accommodating.

Link Run Crew Loves Cali!“

“Amazing food, delicious and healthy! Elated to have found this place, will be eating here all the time 😁“

“Delicious food, flawless service! We used Johnny C’s for a corporate luncheon, and they absolutely knocked it out of the park! The trays of pasta were hot and fresh, the meatballs were a crowd favorite, and the garlic knots disappeared within minutes. Picked up was on time and the setup was effortless due to the trays being ready to go! Highly recommend for any event—you won’t be disappointed!“

“📢First timer alert ⚠️ I enjoyed the Thai Basil Stir Fry and Crispy Veggies egg rolls. Everything was absolutely delicious! I highly recommend it! From the service to the food, everything was amazing!“

“One of my top choices. Super delicious menu. Fun and foreign atmosphere.“

“Great coffee ! Good happy service.“

“We were wanting a beer didn’t know where to go and we see “Big Country” The Leprechaun driving a golf cart. I stated we were looking for somewhere to get a pint he said “Hope in I’ll take you to the place”.
James Joyce Irish Pub was the spot.
We didn’t get served the cute chick for whatever reason didn’t bring silverware (I don’t know why). It was probably just a misunderstanding.
The beer selection was off the charts. Ordered two Unholy Belgium Trippel’s one for me one for my relative. We both were throughly pleased with our drinks and the atmosphere here. It’s one great pub.
I would recommend this place. 🫡 Big Country thanks for everything ✌️“

“Omar’s is the best ! Great coffee shop in South Tampa! Their coffee is the bomb, the place is very friendly, and when they have Taco days—OMG! Stop by, and you’ll feel very welcome, with great food and coffee options.“

“We were in Tampa on vacation and decided to have breakfast here. The food was AMAZING!! The lobster omelet was the best omelet I've ever had. The service was above and beyond!! When we come to Tampa again we will most definitely be making a stop at Another Broken Egg Cafe!!!“

“I've been to all three of the Trip's Diner's, and particularly recommend the Tampa location. Had brunch there today; food was very good, service by Callie was exceptional. Michael M.“

“Professional services in a small delightful place“

“The best banana cold foam matcha I’ve ever had, and I’ve had a lot of similar concoctions.“

“The best boba in Tampa, the taste is the same in Taiwan, if you want to try the most traditional tapioca boba, this is the only place for you! The best part is they have made many different flavors of fresh boba everyday 💜“

“Delicious! So many different flavors of ice cream available!“

“The devil crab was the best I have ever had and the Picadillo puts mine to shame“

“Over all this place is amazing. Beautiful courtyard area to let kids play around, enough seats for people and wasn't over crowded. I got a cold brew, the coffee was strong and delicious. Very impressed.

I was a tad disappointed with the burritos. I really wanted the steak burrito with no cheese, however they are pre made and can't take the cheese off. I was offered the vegan burrito, again, with the cheese on it. I declined. If they can make a few burritos without cheese, then I'd be back!“

“Great breakfast sandwich on terrific Baguette!! Clean and centrally located.“

“We stumbled upon this gem for dinner, and wow—what a find! From the moment we walked in, it was clear this team knows exactly what they’re doing in the kitchen. Every dish was bursting with flavor, and everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. I even had the chance to chat with the owner, who was incredibly warm, friendly, and clearly passionate about his business. 🌮🌯🙌 I love supporting family-owned businesses like this, and this one truly stands out. Highly recommend!“

“Great fresh pasta with a variety of pastas, sauces, and toppings - customize to your taste! Delicious and affordable - good size portions! Helpful, friendly staff! Glad we came.“

“Had a wonderful experience and service ! Food and coffee were delicious, definitely the best coffee spot in Tampa! Loved having Mother’s Day Brunch here!“

“We saw a photo of Thomas P’s Windy City pizza on Friday and couldn’t stop thinking about it all weekend. So we made plans to order it on Sunday. To my husband and I’s surprise this pizza was perfection and looked exactly like the picture. We were not bamboozled! Oh and yeah…that ranch is 💯“

“Armature Works is one of the most dynamic and visually striking venues we’ve had the pleasure of performing at! The riverfront views, industrial-chic vibes, and modern amenities create such a cool and unforgettable atmosphere. The events team is professional, efficient, and great to collaborate with—making every event run smoothly from soundcheck to final song!“

“Super cool tea shop! Our family visited Kaleisia while we were in town. Definitely not your average boba tea shop! The staff were great and curated delicious drinks. My nephew loved their Mango Matcha Latte. We’ll be back to try their menu items in the future!!“

“We had brunch and it was amazing. Great atmosphere and friendly service. The food was delicious.“

“The food at Cali’s is consistently fresh and delicious. I have sampled the menu; sour dough pizza, creative bowls and recently, the market salad with chickpea bites. All fabulous. The atmosphere here is welcoming and the staff are personable and attentive. Cali’s in New Tampa is terrific!!“

“This is one of my favorite sushi spots. The food is great and comes out relatively quickly, sometimes there is a bit of a wait depending on what day you go but that is usual. Their all you can eat option is the best in my opinion. They have a variety of other options if you do not enjoy sushi as well. -JL“

“It’s a whole vibe. There is something for everyone.“
