Restaurants near Tierra Verde

“Excellent food and service plus very affordable prices! The paella, shrimp+grits and shrimp+pasta were all delicious. However, it was the curry shrimp+rice and the ceviche that were the show stoppers. The curry sauce was absolutely incredible! And the trio of ceviche were so unique and delicious. Can’t wait to go back!”

“This is a near-perfect rooftop location with views of the ICW and Gulf all around you. The ambience is enhanced by the magnificent views and the terrific tapas that is their typical offering. We were very pleasantly surprised by the addition of a Sunday Brunch service which was the best we have had on the Gulf Coast.”

“john the manger of the food n gift shop was a Hella of a nice guy as we say in the Midwest Midwest nice”

“Food quality is excellent. Michael, the new owner, has provided a fresh approach and tasty additions to the menu.”

“The food is Always delicious. Always. And the staff all work hard and are very friendly.”

“Definitely a diamond in the rough!! There were 5 in our party and even tho we waited awhile it was definitely worth it. Our waitress was excellent and let us know from the beginning that she was backed up but would be back to us as soon as she could check on the other tables. She was actually the only server on duty!! The food was also excellent and well worth the wait and the price was very reasonable. We also sat where we could watch the kitchen staff working their butts off handling table orders as well as a stream of take out orders. All 5 of us agreed our experience was worth every minute. While we were there I didn't hear any complaints at all, which is highly unusual when you have any kind of wait. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. We even tipped the kitchen staff for their hard work.”

“My first time was really good”

“Nice place to stop while going to or coming from Fort Desoto. It’s has an old Florida crab shack feel with nice views of the water as it’s upstairs on the 2nd floor. Food is good, atmosphere is too.”

“Amazing food and relaxing atmosphere. I’ll definitely be back!”

“Great clean ice cream place. Great selection of all kinds of flavors of different ice creams.”

“This place makes you feel like you’re in Turkey with music and decor. The food was absolutely delicious. Mehmet and Tugce served us gracefully. My husband said he just found a piece of heaven.”

“Megan the Bartender is Awesome! Great Service! Great Drinks! I’m a local restaurant manager and I approve!! Thanks Megan!! You rock!!”

“The apps and entrees were really good. Dessert was not our favorite. Oil and olives in ice cream and cookies? Strawberry pepper ice cream? Not again for us. Menu changes about quarterly. Service was good.”

“Buona ristorante (aka Buona pizza) advertises themselves as a classy Italian restaurant. This place is nothing more than a pizza joint. Extremely small inside with paper table cloths that they tear off from a big roll on the back wall. Ordered garlic bread and calamari for appetizer. Garlic bread was OK, calamari was so tough you could not even chew it. My mom's OSSO BUCO ALLA MILANESE (pork shank) was seasoned good, but I could tell it was cooked earlier and then heated up. The outside of the pork was warm, but the middle was stone cold. My wife and I got a Hawaiian pizza. It is thin crust and extremely soggy. Could not even pick up the pizza slice it was so soft. Had a horrible, weird tast me to it, almost like a sour tomato sauce. Barely even ate one slice and left the rest of it there. Went there for birthday dinner, and it was ruined. I guess our first red flag should have been that on a Saturday evening, it was not even busy.”

“The wings were delicious, service is friendly and great. Also had fresh spring rolls phenomenal”

“Stopped in today and absolutely loved it! I had the coffee and chocolate flavors—both were so creamy, rich, and perfectly balanced. The girl allowed me to try a variety of flavors and loved every single one. The shop has such a warm, welcoming vibe and the staff is super friendly. Definitely a place we’ll be coming back to for our ice cream fix! 🍦”

“Best tacos I had so far in Pinellas County!”

“Thank you for your support and donation of chicken wings to our 11th Annual Showers of Love Community Baby Shower! Without Community Partners such as you we couldn't do what we do!”

“Best Dinner of Our Trip!

Lolita’s Wine Bar in St. Pete absolutely blew us away. Our server, Roland, was incredible — knowledgeable, high-energy, and just genuinely fun, which made the whole experience even better.

We ordered the cheese board, the fire & ice ceviche, the mushroom risotto with burrata special, and the whipped ricotta — which ended up being my absolute favorite dish of the night. Creamy, dreamy, and honestly one of the best things I’ve eaten in a long time.

Every single plate was fantastic, and the vibe + service made it unforgettable. Easily the best dinner of our entire trip. We’d go back in a heartbeat. Highly recommend!”

“If anyone watched “Jiro Dreams of Sushi” documentary film and you are a sushi lover you should try this place “Sushi Sho Rexley” near Sundial. This film is about an 85-year-old sushi master and owner of Sukiyabashi Jiro, previously a Michelin three-star restaurant. Sukiyabashi Jiro is a 10-seat, sushi-only restaurant located in a Tokyo subway station. We have this kind of high quality sushi restaurant and only 10 seats. We get to enjoy heavenly delicious sushi like film with sake paring in St. Pete last night. What can I say! It’s a fantastic experience and culture for 2 hours.”

“Great food. Loved the lunch special”

“Our group of thirteen dined here today to celebrate two birthdays, seated at two tables. We spent close to $800, and I have to say — the food was exceptional and our server was outstanding. The staff provided warm and attentive service that truly stood out. Unfortunately, what should have been a joyful celebration was tainted by the behavior of the new ownership. A gentleman, who appeared to be part of the new management team (a man in his early forties), sat and later stood in different areas of the restaurant, repeatedly glancing at our group — the only African American party in the establishment — as if we were out of place. At no point did he acknowledge our tables or the two ladies whose birthdays we were celebrating. Yet, he made a point to warmly engage with non-Black patrons seated at the bar. The contrast was noticeable and deeply disappointing. In 2025, it’s disheartening that anyone still needs to be reminded that the color of money is green, and respect should not be selective. We value ourselves, our experiences, and where we choose to spend our hard-earned money. While the food was phenomenal, the lack of respect and basic acknowledgment from ownership left a lasting negative impression. We will not be returning, and I truly hope the new owner learns that real hospitality includes treating every guest with dignity and appreciation — not just those who resemble him. #Disappointed”

“This is my go to spot for pizza in St Pete! Eddie always does it right!!”

“Everything in the bakery is simply amazing and delicious!! The staff are all incredible and just make life beautiful! My favorite place!! Thank you for helping me make my husbands birthday amazing!”

“My son, mom and I stopped in for an early dinner after my son's basketball game. This was our 1st time here and we absolutely loved the food. I highly recommend the "Cool ranch rider" has a nice kick to it the only thing I did differently was ranch instead of mayo and banana peppers instead of hot peppers. My son had the "Turkey bacon" minus onion and tomato as well as sub the mayo for ranch he absolutely loved it!! My mom got the "Roast Beast" loved hers as well!! We decided to try the Lemon Blueberry cheesecake, it too was delicious!! We will definitely be back!! The ladies that helped us with our order were super sweet and made us feel very welcomed!! Loved the vibe. Reggae music playing as well, just overall a great place!! We were at the 3rd Avenue location for reference!!”

“this is the best sushi ever. ❤️ it's so good we travel from Orlando area for this yummy delight 😋”

“John is the absolute best, I want to put him in my pocket and take him home. Best bartender I’ve encountered in a while!!!!”

“Great breakfast cafe. Beautiful patio for outdoor dining. Food was delicious.”

“First time at coco wood and Ronda was our server. She gave us recommendations and let me say she hit the nail right on the head. Everything was so tasty and the quality was so fresh. Best I have had on these beaches in a long time. This will be our new spot to go to enjoy unique food and not just the same old stuff you can get anywhere.”

“Great on the beach location”
