Amazing bread, salad and huge food portions! Our waitress was amazing (I wish I remembered her name!) It was our 2nd visit there (and won't be our last!) We are from Pennsylvania and will visit there again! Wish we had room for dessert but we didn't! Leftovers for lunch the next day, Chicken picatta and Spaghetti with meat sauce!

Our friends told us about Tony and Nella’s a few years ago. We finally made a reservation ( highly suggest you do this). Bernadette was our server and she was great. The food was absolutely amazing. I had traditional spaghetti and meatballs but asked for spicy marinara. Bernadette suggested the chunky marinara with fresh tomatoes. Some of the best meatballs I have ever had and the marinara was perfectly spiced. My husband had eggplant Parmesan with spicy sauce also. So much food we have leftovers for a few days. Can’t wait to bring our friends back. Definitely worth the drive from Apollo Beach.

Just because the portion sizes are huge doesn’t make it good. Also, to go to a restaurant and be treated as if you’re bothering them is wild. Served burned bread - the other table was served fresh bread. Ask a question and it goes unanswered.

So.... we LOVE this place BUT the last few weeks every time we have been here they've been out of my husbands favorite - the lasagna. He RAVES about this place to all the locals, any family members in town, we have lots of out of town business meetings here locally so we regularly will bring about 12 people in. The last time we brought 8 - 4 we're going to order the lasagna after my husbands raving review and they were out ? we have been a little disappointed as we have never had this problem and in the last 2 weeks it's happened twice.Other than that this place is AMAZING, service AMAZING! Would recommend the ravioli in homemade vodka sauce. Portions are HUGE. Kids spaghetti & meatballs lasts my 7 year old 2 meals. I will never NOT rave about this place as the BEST Italian we have EVER had and we travel constantly.

Delicious made-fresh food in huge portions! Hot fresh bread while you wait for your meal, and very reasonable prices considering food quality and portion sizes (you'll have enough left over for at least one more meal!). Great restaurant for dates, anniversaries, special occasions, or just dinner, I recommend this place to anyone looking for a great restaurant!

My wife and I have been going to Tony’s for years. We love Tony, however, since Covid, the food has never been the same. Several example. Tony use to make homemade italtian sausage as an appetizer and a main course with spaghetti, it was outstanding, but since Covid Tony buys pre-packaged Italian sausage and it is not nearly as good. Second, Tony use to make fresh, homemade sourdough bread and bring a nice loaf out with the wine…..now he only brings a few half slices of sourdough bread. I wish he would not worry about cutting costs and bring back these practices.

The waitress was incredibly rude from the start . You never greed your customer a with a question . Her question do you guys have a reservation ? It immediately makes you feel unwelcome. Second the they overflow the plates with sauce and she drip my whole jacket with sauce ??♀️. Did even apologize . Ask her for more bread brung the second one burned ??♀️ I will ask her a question and she will not look at me in the eyes . The water taste horrible they need to check the faucet or stop serving tap water . Never Again !!! The food it self did not taste bad but they need to consider not serving so much food . And their is nothing worst than a bad attitude I don’t care how good the food .
Absolutely amazing food! If I had eaten here before I started leaving reviews, a lot of my other 5 ratings would be 4's. Had meatball appetizers, their fresh bread, and the chicken parm. 100% will go back when in town. Only negative was that it was a bit loud for my liking. Also, be sure to call ahead for a reservation!

We live down the street and decided to go there for dinner. I had the Gambrel Fra Diavola Entree Shrimp. I'm 70yrs old and have had my share of marinara sauces in my lifetime. This was hands down, the best marinara sauce I ever tasted. My wife had the kids pasta with marinara sauce. The portions were plenty, I couldn't finish my meal and asked for a to-go bag. What a little gem, and it's right down the street from us. Karen was our server and was very attentive. Our table was clean and so was our surroundings. We will definitely be coming back. Keep up the good work.This is a second review for this place from me. I had the same shrimp only this time in the appetizer portion, and added the two meatballs. The spicy sauce again was spot on!!!! Ton's of tomatoes and very tangy spice. The meatballs were huge!! I thought I would only be able to finish just one. The texture of the meatballs was light and juicy. When you put the fork through them in order to take a bite, they stayed intact. The next thing you notice is that they dissolve in your mouth without even chewing. The taste was indescribable but so dam good!! I simply love this place, and I'm sure you will too!

We've eaten here several times but tonight the service was terrible as was my food. I ordered the pasta rustic eith gluten free pasta and get brought me a dish with spaghetti in it. I wouldn't even taste it. It was bad enough I had to ask for our salads after waiting for 20 mins.Then at the end we were given someone else's bill.I never got to eat dinner and we arrived at 7:10. It's now 9 pm so we're leaving once we get the bill straightened out, hungry!
