50 Best Italian Restaurants near Temple Terrace

“Fast and delicious and friendly service“

“Very nice little place. They have a lot of regulars that come in as the waitresses greet these people by name as they enter. That says a lot. The food we got was excellent. The picture is the garlic knots appetizer. Way more than we expected. The waitresses were very nice and we're at the perfect level of checking on us. Not pushy and not too distant. We will definitely be coming back.“

“👍 pizza and service. friendly staff“

“St. Pete—Literally sitting at dinner now, & our server, Enzo, has been absolutely WONDERFUL. He’s kind, knowledgable & engaging with his tables—all things I love to see in customer service areas (it can be such a lost concept!) We love Olivia (their arancini is the best we’ve ever had && my husband & I each get our own), but I’d request to sit in Enzo’s section if he’s working in the future.“

“Had an incredible experience & dinner last night with family! From the atmosphere, the wait staff, Drinks, Mozzarella Cart, Main Course, to Dessert! Thank you ROCCA ❤️“

“Great food and experience quality!“

“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.“

“Had a marvelous dinner. A most wonderful server Mykaela. She was fantastic. Energetic, knowledgeable, thoughtful. Breath of fresh air. Thank you so much!“

“We absolutely love Via Italia. We placed a large order for a family birthday last night, and the entire experience was flawless. From ordering to that first bite. Everything was superb. The pizzas were incredible, and the salads were packed with fresh greens and the perfect balance of flavor. Couldn’t have asked for better.“

“Tampas best kept secret, great food“

“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!“

“Great Food here in Brandon Like you never left NEW YORK! This is my favorite Italian Restaurant in Florida. It first has a wonderful ambience classy and romantic. I tried it with clients. Since then my wife and I have been going back ever since. The food is Amazing their Red Sauce is perfect could not be better. Their Chicken Parm is some of the best. Their Alla Vodka one of the best in Florida and they are always making memorable specials that you will be using bread to soak up the last drop. Great appetizers like the Carozza will tease your palate for more and more yummy goodness. A slice of delicious Limoncello cake and a cup of espresso is the perfect way to end a fantastic dinner out. The setting is perfect not to big “you feel you are in a subway station but not to small that you are eating dinner on the other table's lap.” It has a romantic and calming décor. Every other Wednesday they have live music. The wait staff is attentive, professional, playful, and friendly. Vito the manager and his nice wife are the best. They are from New York owned restaurants in New York they know how to make great food.“

“Water+flour is an absolute gem! We’ve been coming here for years and recently it’s become our favorite place to eat consistently. Every time we go eat here no matter the time of day we are in awe of the great service and the delicious food. The atmosphere is always so relaxing even when they’re busy it’s enjoyable , adding to the overall experience. We most recently went to celebrate my birthday and our server was Megan she was seriously amazing and made it feel like such a special experience! All of the servers are attentive and we’ve never had a bad experience which is why we continue to come back! They have a great group of people working there and you can see their manager France cares about her employees and the establishment!!“

“We went for our annual Christmas Eve dinner. Our regular restaurant just announced it was closing its doors December 19 and that was so unfortunate. I searched for a place where they were offering a holiday menu, lucky we found Che Vita. Our reservations were originally for 4 people but they were kind enough to accommodate 9 of us. I will definitely be back because I fell in love with their truffle fries, I'm hoping that's on their menu all the time!“

“as a retired Deputy Sheriff in Tampa for the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office. I would dine at Carrabba's many times. it was also located with my patrol zone area on N. Dale Mabry Hwy. in Tampa.“

“We have been dinning at Bella's for over 20 years and have enjoyed each visit. We love the atmosphere! The place is usually busy with couples of all ages, groups of friends, 3-4 generations of families dinning together. It's wonderful! The food is always good to very good to great! The service is always good, but the service last night from Justin, our waiter, was exceptional. We'll request Justin the next time we visit Bella's.“

“Get the veggie sandwich! It is indescribably outstanding! Frankly, so is everything else there.“

“Some of the best Italian food in the Tampa Bay area! The linguini bolognese with the breaded chicken was particularly delicious. I also had the pleasure of meeting the owners Almy and Zach, and they are wonderful people :) If you’re in the area this is a must try!!“

“Just moved into The Asher and it’s amazing. Toured over eight different apartments and it’s bar none the best for price/location/community and the staff

Lyric Robinson, a leasing representative, helped me move in last minute and was extremely competent and patient throughout the whole process from start to finish.

11/10 would recommend this area and highly recommend asking for Lyric in regards to touring, information leasing or any questions you might have.“

“My daughter was late , but our server Bo was great , very attentive . I just really loved the service here. Plus the food is great.😍😍😍😍💕“

“We celebrated my dad’s birthday at Forbici, and it’s become our go-to spot for birthday celebrations over the past two years—and it never disappoints! The service is always top-notch, with a professional and friendly staff that makes every visit special. And let’s talk about the food—absolutely incredible. There’s not a dish I’ve tried that I didn’t love. Two of my pickiest eaters couldn’t get enough of the meatballs—tender, flavorful, and perfect every time. The square pizza is a balance of crispy on the outside and soft inside, and the linguini with little neck clams, garlic, white wine, and a hint of lemon is a so good. The burger was a hit for my 9 yr old boy which was not off the kids menu , and the fried calamari? Simply delicious. And we can’t forget about the desserts—let’s just say we pretty much sampled the entire dessert menu, and it was all amazing! If you haven’t been yet to Forbici it is definitely a place you need to check out.“

“just a little upset they didn't have shrimp parm. and they said they couldn't make it because they were to busy“

“Poppa’s Italian Factory is a fantastic place! The food is amazing, freshly prepared, & fast! Donna & Ken are super-sweet & treat you like family! I’m a huge fan of their eggplant parmesan & the desserts are all delicious—especially the Italian pistachio cake! They recently made a big box of Italian cookies for an event to support Hope Services & it was a huge hit!
Thank you so much for your all you do & for being there all the nights I don’t have time to make dinner! 😊“

“The crew out here is unbeatable! I’m not feeling well and I ordered food curbside. I flaked on part of my order, it was totally my fault but they treated me above and beyond, as if it was their responsibility to help me when I messed up. They really made my night.“

“great place good atmosphere“

“ALLISON at the Brandon location WAS AMAZING! She was very attentive, so sweet, food came out quick and hot! She was very helpful with any questions and our drinks were never empty without a refill next to it! Highly recommend, would come back just for her!“

“Came for last second drinks with my wife and had an amazing time. Our server Rashmika was not only super knowledgeable about the menu but super helpful when we were having trouble deciding. We agreed that this would be our new go to Olive Garden, hopefully we see her again!“

“This is an Italian Restaurant that reminds me so much of my time in Italy. It has a very authentic atmosphere as well the best Italian cuisine.“

“Intimate, cozy local Italian restaurant run by authentic Italian American couple x 42 years! A hidden gem!! Serious quality of traditional dishes as well as Chef's Specials! Everything served is made there, even the desserts. Tiramisu & Limoncello cake were fresh, superb! Mmmm, Capri..“
