23 Best Italian Restaurants near Thonotosassa

“I’ve been eating here for years and the food and service is always amazing. The manager has been at the same store for over 20 years and he always runs a tight ship with a great crew.. The salads are always fresh. The pizza is always good quality and it’s always quick and ready. They are conveniently located in a large shopping center with lots of parking and there’s always coupons and deals for pizza and sides. I would definitely recommend this location to everyone.“

“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.“

“Fast and delicious and friendly service“

“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 place to celebrate birthdays!“

“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.“

“My wife and I after enjoying the Christmas festivities over here in Wesley chapel as we were visiting from Lakeland, we saw this place looking for a bite to eat and it was approximately 8:52 p.m. when we walked in. we asked how late they were open and they said 9:30 but would we still like a table, that spoke volumes so we said yes we would like to try this great smelling Pizza that we could smell as we were walking in. as we got in everybody's smiling happy the owner is just as friendly as can be the decorative walls is what really caught my eye. I have a friend from the island in Italy so it was very warming to know the detail of all the places about Italy. We got the Hawaiian pizza and we knew that this was definitely different than what we've had in the past, the ingredients were spot on the way it was made was incredible and we just sat there not being rushed to enjoy our meal everyone just going about doing what they do best and we just talking over the events of the evening and several times we just remarked about how good this pizza is. as we were close to leaving cuz we did not want to keep anyone late we were just wanting a quick bite to eat but something very good and we got it from this wonderful place the owner came up and asked what we thought and I remarked to him" questo è eccellente" this is excellent in Italian very kind-hearted man, sweet disposition and you see the love of what he is committed to, but I could honestly say when I seen how the workers just cheerful and in a very relaxed environment there's magic in this place, looking forward to going back on purpose to visit this particular place over in Wesley chapel!“

“As olive gardens go, this is a fine establishment, always had great service here. Plenty of parking, little to no wait time in most cases, people are friendly. So more than what you can ask for these days at restaurants. Food could be better. Alfredo was good, scampi was bland and the steak could be of better quality (but I understand its not a steakhouse, so its fine).“

“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! 😊“

“After Busch Gardens we stopped here for dinner and it was a great choice. The food came out fast, everything was tasty, and the portions were very big. Loved the pasta special where you get one pasta for the restaurant and another one to take home — such a great deal! Fresh breadsticks, creamy pasta, friendly service, and a comfortable atmosphere. Perfect spot for a casual dinner after a long park day.“

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

“Can’t go wrong with olive garden. Their complimentary soups are a really good especially while you wait for your food and the quality is super good. This location in particular the staff were amazing tonight and I had a great time“

“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“

“PIZZA WAS SO GOOD !! All the guys had great customer service!! Ray is an amazing manager best customer service I’ve ever had !! Frank was so friendly great spirit and kept the place really clean during my dine in experience! St. John aka Bryan is a really sweet kid he looks really shy but definitely is top tier with his customer service ! Dj came and went delivering pizzas but made sure to interact with me and he too also had great customer service ! Definitely best pizza place to visit ! My first time here and I will be back each time I want pizza 🍕“

“I went in and got a small gelato, it wasn't very busy and the service was nice. It was a very relaxed.
I wasn't sure what to get, so I had asked the man behind the counter what he'd recommend. He had said keylime, so I got keylime. I hadn't had keylime prior to this, so this is a good first impression of the flavor. This was enjoyable :)“

“The food is great... delicious... one order is enough for two... reasonable prices... BEST PHILLY CHEESE STEAK I EVERY HAD. I moved from Tampa two years ago, I've spent hundreds of dollars trying other restaurants Philly cheese steaks... none compare to Stefano's. I miss that Friday night special so much!!! Don't leave Tampa without stopping by.“
