50 Best Italian Restaurants near Tierra Verde

“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.“

“The food was good and so was the service. I thought that for the price you paid, it should have included bread. Not used to paying for the bread with a meal.“

“Food very nice but we felt very rushed. Salads came out before the appetizer and we had only 2 bites from our dinner when the server asked us if we wanted desert…“

“Pasghetti catered our large family meal last Sunday. We could not be happier about them. Very good food, timely delivered (and still warm), reasonably priced, and dealing with the staff was a pleasure.“

“The best pizza we’ve ever had! Warm and friendly staff, great service. Can’t beat it!“

“I love this place. As a local real estate agent dealing with a lot of questions about places to eat and neighborhoods. I love highlighting places to my clients. THIS place always comes to mind! Remarkable food and service. 10/10 from me!“

“Delicious white pizza and garlic knots. Cute dine in area and super quick service. Highly recommend“

“I have enjoyed many Italian restaurants in my home state of NJ, and this is by far a top notch restaurant! The food and staff are phenomenal and unmatched. I recommend this to anyone who visits the area!“

“Oh. My. God.“

“I went to eat here for the first time today with friends I used to work with. We heard that the owner used to work at Italia Mia which is now closed and now own this restaurant. We always had a salad and pizza there so we ordered the same thing here. The sausage, pepperoni and mushroom pizza was absolutely delicious. The thin crust was incredible!! Nice ambience also.“

“Great experience for our best friends birthday ! Fast service! Great food!!10/10“

“Good Food, but Rushed We were the first customers of the day—early for us. I think the servers meant well, but everything was rushed. I felt like I was in a fast casual restaurant rather than a place where I would spend $125 for the two of us. Slow it down a bit and let us digest for a minute before dropping the next course. The food was good. We started with the recommended Bruschetta. It isn’t typical. Instead, the topping is in an accompanying bowl. The topping was delicious—how can you go wrong with tomatoes, basil and garlic in balsamic vinegar? We then shared a bowl of their special tomato bisque and it was delicious. We also shared a Caesar salad which my wife thought was too garlicy (I’m not sure that’s possible), so I ate her share. The server had asked me if I did or didn’t want anchovies on my salad so I said sure, but on the side. I had no idea that I’d be charged an extra $2.50, especially since it didn’t say that on the menu. Shame, shame. For mains I had the Pasta Pescatore which was good, but a little oily. My wife had the Chicken Piccata which she enjoyed. We accompanied those with some wines by the glass from their decent collection and they were fairly priced. I might go back, but I’d be clear with the server about not being rushed.“

“Absolutely love this place ! Food is always on point, delicious, and carefully crafted.“

“It's perfect! probably the best food truck in Miami.“

“Simply Exquisite. A true culinary experience .“

“We were visiting Saint Pete’s for the day and saw this little gem on the corner. So glad we decided to stop and have a wonderful lunch there . Fabulous atmosphere, wonderful service and the food absolutely delicious . We will definitely return here when we are back in town .“

“Had a great first night in St. Pete! The food, drinks, and service were great. Especially our server/bartender Jennifer. She made my son’s birthday celebration week off to a wonderful start 🥳🙌 We will definitely be back. If you haven’t tried them, I highly recommended the ravioli with their homemade vodka sauce 😋🍝“

“Phenomenal!! The best experience! One of the part owners, Ish, served us. It was as if we were at a family meal! He had wonderful food and wine recommendations. The portions were large but it didn’t compromise on the quality. Can’t say enough good things, we can’t wait to come back on our next trip!“

“Novu Bistro serves delicious food and beverages. The waitresses are friendly and engaging. We didn’t wait long for anything and we were a large group. The owners, Tony and Kat, are gracious and hospitable! I loved that the music was low for great conversations! I highly recommend this St. Pete gem!!“

“Gratzzi was an amazing experience! My friends and I are in town for my bachelorette party and decided to have a nice dinner here. Our server, Tom did exceptional job at making the night very special. The food everyone thought was outstanding, the Badabing was especially an amazing. Everyone was warm and welcoming, exited to celebrate this occasion with us. Thank you Gratzzi! We will definitely be coming back!“

“On 11/3 about 3:30 I stoped to have a beer. Totally drained as I lost everything w/Helene. Just wanted to relax and sit outside. Alissa was my server. Asked if I was hungry. No I really cannot afford this…just great to be out!!! When she came back a bit later w my bill she had a to go order w spaghetti and two huge meatballs and garlic bread!! N/Charge!!! What a wonderful thoughtful thing to do!!! Of course I cried… Kudos to Alissa and CD Romas for being so kind and generous!!! I am so grateful!!!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️??☮️??“

“Enjoyable evening with delicious food and amazing service from Nicole. Food was all so very fresh, the chicken was so tender. Service was wonderful and we cannot wait to return. Nicole was so accommodating and professional. Thank you Carrabba's for such a great night!“

“The food was delicious but what made my day was my server Jennifer. She was welcoming and on top of everything. Her suggestions were in point. I would ask for her service to go with my food ANYTIME!“

“The best view friendly , special everything 🤗🤗🤗“

“Our food and service was awesome! The meatballs and pizza were top notch….and the staff mixed up some amazing espresso martinis!! Can’t wait to go back!“

“Makati, PH -- Had the Arrabbiata with polpettes and honestly, I was not ready for how big the serving was—sulit na sulit. Flavor? On point. Super fresh, super authentic, no need to overthink. It’s one of those meals where you take a bite and you’re like, “Yup. This is it.” But what made it even better? I got to chat with the CEO and the manager. Like, actual real convo—not just small talk. They were so chill, super welcoming, and you can tell they really care about what they do and who walks through their doors. It’s rare to find spots that are both quality and personal. This one? Definitely worth coming back for.“

“I very seldom write a review but our experience at Gigis on Treasure Island last night was exceptional. The food was excellent but even if it had not been, the service was so exceptional we would not have noticed. I called him the ghost server. Every time I would start to ask for something it was already on our table and we never saw it delivered. If you want exceptional service ask for Hiram the next time you eat there. You will not be disappointed.“

“Great staff and always good food.“

“If you decide to use a third party app to make you money or reduce your costs, take shared responsibility for service or lack of service. Don't pass the buck. If may not matter to a multi billion dollar but for a small local business it does! BE BETTER!“

“I waited a very long time to get my to go pizza, it wasn’t because it was not made yet, because it was warm not hot like previous ones, when it was handed to me. Having watched the petite brunette gather in a huddle with her coworker, her conversation in front of waiting customers is rude. Especially when you can hear their negativity! Sunday is a hectic day already, getting ready for the work week and I was left feeling like I was interrupting the petite brunette gossiping about your other employees in ear shot. Customers didn’t come first yesterday and her conversation was a detriment to others in my opinion! Watch out for that one IMO.“

“Highly recommend this pizza shop, Stefano the manager was very helpful regarding an order that never came in the system during closing time but still made the order and were happy to do it. Very happy with their willingness to take care of the customer even if it was past their closing time.“

“Passed this place for too long. Ordered an 18 inch pepperoni. Price was great. Pizza was even better! Delivery was fast. Very good. Thanks 4th St. Pizza!“

“The food was delicious, service was great Would highly recommend the place“

“I enjoy the atmosphere. I was impressed that there were different styles of eating by the window at the bar and for our party of six. The bread was excellent. The food was mouth-watering... When you first go in. You feel like you are in a place that takes a lot of pride in their food and culture because it is displayed in a beautiful glass display case. I cannot wait to go back... And bring friends.“

“Absolutely the best delicius We love my family and friends Reasonable price,“

“Amazing dinner tonight! We loved everything we had! Amazing menu with so many options. Such fresh ingredients! We had the white pizza, chicken Parmesan, spaghetti and meatballs, pepperoni/meatball Stromboli, mozzarella sticks, knots and medium wings! Can't wait to come back and try more things!♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️“

“I currently live in Jacksonville. Whenever I come back to St Pete, my trip always consists of Spiro's homemade Spanikopita, pasta salad and chicken Lemon soup. The staff is friendly and always service with a 😊.“

“First try, never knew this place was here.. hidden Gem.. food is decent, portion size is fantastic. I got ravioli, didnt know it came with garlic bread and a salad.. I was so full!! I'd pay 10 bucks for all that, any day... versus 12 at McDonalds.. yuck.. this was great!“

“The manager Michelle is absolutely amazing, she is there ever day almost all day, whom ever the owner is I hope they pays her well and takes good care of her. She deals with some wild customers but she always is so kind, my food is always hot and good. Michelle is the best, the other girl named Meika is amazing customer service , so sweet and kind and always ready to help. She's always helpful to the manager and smiles when you come in. Love this location“

“i ordered a large cheese pizza with very little sauce. i love the sauce but cant eat it. The man waiting on me said he could take care of that and he did!!! The pizza was absolutely wonderful as always but even more so because there was hardly any sauce so i could eat and enjoy!!!!“

“Stopped in for a quick bite, food was delicious 🤤 🤤🤤“

“Food was excellent Service was great.“

“Love this place, fantastic pizza and absolutely great customer service.“

“After landing late at Tampa I was hungry and noticed this place at the side of the road.

Guy behind the counter was polite and took my order quickly. Pizza was fast, only had to wait around ten minutes!

As for the pizza… it slaps hard! Just what I expected, no nonsense American style pizza, full of flavour, loads of topping… what’s not to like!

If I am passing by in Tampa and I am hungry I will certainly buy food again.“

“The Chateaubriand is unbelieveably delicious.“

“We always order 2 of the cheesy Howie Breads and 1 of the Chicken Caesar Salads there but with the Greek dressing. It fills us both up, and it is such a delicious combination. Not all of the Hungry Howie stores have the Caesar Salad, and the Howie Bread is different from store to store. But this store definitely has and makes both really well.“

“pizza is great. we ordered a si.ple large cheese. very hot when we got. garlic knots are also very good. we will be back.“

“the staff is amazing and the food was delicious“
