I have been driving by there and today decided to try it again.A year ago I was there and the food was amazing, today not so much.I had a slice of pizza as an app., midway through eating my slice the pizza guy yelled across the restaurant that the slices had been sitting for a long time and weren’t good.I was eating one and he was right, but to yell it across the store…They had a special if chicken, sausage, mushrooms and artichoke hearts I thought why not, just $23.00!Well, no salad comes with a dinner, no bread comes with a dinner and the chicken was so bad I got a plate and gave it to them to eat as I couldn’t eat it.The pasta was stuck together like when it sits too long on a counter and dries out.No, this isn’t a place I would ever go back to!Save your money and step way up to Olive Garden, yuck, but it’s 1000% better!

Our 1st time dining here…. I ordered the Caesar salad - the lettuce was brown and wilted, away too much dressing, three hand fulls of croutons and a very large amount of powdered Parmesan cheese. It was not edible to say the least. I did inform the waitress and she asked if I wanted anything else but my appetite was ruined. When we got the bill the salad was still listed but eventually, she talked to the manager and got it off our bill.

Excellent NY style pizza made by Patriot. I went right when they opened and the pizza was so good, ask for extra crispy, that I went back two more times in the month. I recommend the pizza and garlic knots with a shot of espresso for dessert. Plenty of parking but it can get busy. I'm sure the other food options are just as good.

Pretty good pizza. I ordered a large with sausage, pepperoni mushrooms. Pizza was fresh out of the oven. Crust was good, not soggy. I went for lunch and it was not busy. The place was pleasant and clean.Service was good. I would go back when in the area.

Finally a thriving business in a challenging location! Parking lot is often full, and everyone I have spoken with has high regard for this establishment! My one critique, which is what earned 4 instead of 5 stars, is simply needing a pinch more salt in the pizza dough. Sauce? Perfect. Cheese? Melted. Crust was cooked to perfection! I took my first bite and allowed the flavors to meld, then a nibble on the crispy crust. At that point I was convinced that it was just a touch of salt was needed. The business is amazing, very busy and successful. Just a pinch away from the next level of greatness! This is just my personal opinion, I encourage you to take your family out and experience for yourself!Enjoy!Parking: One path is tricky, but plenty of parking.

Relatively new Italian restaurant. Most of the business is carry out but there is some indoor and outdoor dining space. Out pizza was a little burnt on the crust but otherwise nice. Grandson loved his spaghetti. Beer and wine available. We dined outside and had to contend with wind gusts.

Best garlic knots in Tarpon Springs, hands down!!! And I’m from Long Island if that means anything ? also, the bbq chicken white pizza is delish.
Hello everyone. First time at this location my husband took me. This is his 2nd time. Let me tell you the moment you walk into this restaurant it smells like a Italian restaurant.The pizza crust fantastic which makes the whole pizza a 10. They have the best espresso and have a great menu, staff is very friendly and the owner is sooooooo nice even to his staff. They have dine in, take out and now Delivery. Not a big place but that makes it so much better. Atmosphere is perfect. Our server was Raquel so refreshing to have a server smiling at the table. The pizza came out lickity split and Hot with real cheese the way it should be. There should be Italian music playing like Dean Martin, (Old blue eyes Frank Sinatra)....ectWe will definitely go back again I need to try the whole menu. They also have a cute seating out side with the warmers if it gets chilly. It's so hard to find great pizza. I believe we have now found it.Enjoy everyone.

I ordered a small pizza with pepperoni, green peppers, onion, mushrooms and double garlic. I didn't see or taste any garlic. Also, the whole bottom of the pizza was burnt. Totally black. I could only eat the toppings. Worst pizza I've ever had. It's terrible to send out a pizza that's burnt.

Outstanding! The Mediterranean pizza was amazing- true Italian style and the best I have had around here. The house salad was a true Italian salad as it had beets in it a true Italian tradition. My hat off to the waitstaff and cooks.
