“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!“

“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!“

“Listen, if you want 5-star service, ask to be seated in Tiga’s section! Take it from someone who frequents this restaurant once a week. For the fifth time, glory be to God, my family was served by Tiga!

I have to believe he treats the kitchen staff with the utmost respect because the presentation and flavors are giving Eddie V’s! And if you know, you know! 😂

GO SEE TIGA! You will find a whole new respect for Olive Garden. I’ve been a fan of Olive Garden all my adult life, so I tell no lies! 🙌🏽“

“This Hungry Howies has the best salads. I have been to a few others near my house (they are trash) and have driven to this one 30 minutes out to get their salad. The customer service is great and they are very down to earth. They put a lot of care into what they do.“

“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.“

“I really enjoyed eating food from Poppa's Italian Factory, it was delicious. I got the angel hair pasta with meat sauce and Italian sausage! The sauce was amazing and tasted a lot like my grandma's homemade sauce from Italy. The pistachio cake was yummy and so was the anise biscotti cookies. I would definitely go back tovtry something different. The restaurant was very clean and the atmosphere was delightful. The owner Donna was exceptionally nice and knowledgeable about Italian cuisine.“
