“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Amazing food … best Italian I have had in years.“

“My husband Mark and I are visiting Tampa this week. We arrived Tuesday. After settling in at our VRBO we were looking for some delicious food. Mark loves Italian food and found Vino E Pasta. Mark called and spoke with the restaurant owner and asked if they had availability for 2 to dine with them yesterday evening. We were told to come on in . The owner greeted us when we arrived and showed us to our table. Our server was fantastic. He came to the table greeted us told us about their specials for the evening, took our drink order. He gave us time to look at the menu then took our order. I started with the lobster bisque and it was one of the best I have ever had. For my entree I chose one of their specials they were offering which was lobster ravioli with seafood . It came in a pink sauce with scallops, shrimp, clams and muscles. Seafood was cooked perfectly. Dessert was to go and I chose the limoncello cake and it was out of this world. Mark started with fried calamari with fried zucchini and that was phenomenal . For his entree he had their chicken Parmesan with penne al a vodka . His dessert to go was cheesecake. We had an amazing time. Two separate parties in the restaurant were celebrating birthdays. The restaurant staff to include the owner sang to each birthday party. After the birthday song was sung a male staff member got out his guitar and serenaded the birthday gal. When he was done with the birthday party he came over to sit with Mark and I and he serenaded me with Can You Feel The love by Elton John and then a classic italian song. If you are in Tampa you need to find this beautiful Italian restaurant sit down and have the best dinner of your life. Vino E Pasta is a hidden gem.“

“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.“

“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!!“

“Took my wife there last night and it was phenomenal. Food was excellent, wait staff was on point, and atmosphere hit home for me. Highly recommend.“

“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.“

“Ate here for the first time for my birthday. Food was amazing!“

“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.“

“Great food & svs. A little bit pricy for me. Cost more than Tates; Olive Garden Italian Restaurants.“

“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.“

“It’s a small hidden place in an unexpected area, however… the food and the service was excellent! I ordered the chicken piccata and next time I intend to order the chicken Marcella! What a great find!!“

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

“First time at Spartacos! the lasagna and dessert was delicious! The owner, Spartaco was friendly and funny! 🇮🇹 look forward to returning!“

“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.“

“Great Italian Cuisine in Ybor City! The Chicken Parmesan was heavenly!“

“This place was so flipping tasty! ive always wanted to try squid ink spaghetti because of tomodachi life, and here it flipping was! 🦑 i will say i took a nap after and woke up with my mouth still tasting like squid ink, but this was the tastiest tastiest pasta treat ive ever had. my celiac friend had a safe gluten free adventure here also 👍👍“

“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!“

“My friend and I wanted to have catch up session over a nice Italian meal, so what other place to go than Olive Garden? Unfortunately even before we sat down at our table we started getting stares from other parties. My friend had her very well behaved 4 year old son with her, and I had my almost 2 year old son with me. Clearly no one wanted kids around .

As anyone with toddlers knows , they can be a bit active. Mine was no different and grabbed the sugar stash on the table to play with. Another guest felt the need to tell me what he was doing wrong . She got all worked up about it .

We asked to move to another table and our waiter was happy to help us do that to tbt other side of the restaurant. They even gave us a free appetizer ! Eli was so kind and got teary eyed when we told her about our horrible experience with the other guests. We clearly felt attacked by them on a racist level.

Just having a staff who was sympathetic toward us made the crappy experience a lot better. For this reason we’ll definitely be back. Angela, Eli and Felix were so caring and accommodating. Thank you Olive Garden.“

“I am completing this review to let not just customers know but to let Olive Garden and their entire franchise know that the employees at this location today were AMAZING!! My niece has autism and they were unaware and I know that she was a lot today, but they still served us with respect and care. As well as I left my pocketbook and did not notice, and the employee literally RAN to the light and found me in my car to return it back to me. I am so grateful because they did not have to return my stuff, but they did. Many blessings and if you’re reading this, go check them out!“

“Went there yesterday with my husband and daughters. That was by far the best pizza I've had!!!! The owner was soo nice & we promised we'd leave a review about the pizza & not the bathroom that's getting remodeled!!! Lol“
