50 Best Italian Restaurants near Treasure Island

“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.“

“The pizzas are great we ordered the buffalo chicken pizza and it was fantastic. But the pasta entrees are my family’s favorite. The pasta puttanesca is truly amazing. We have been here a few times and we order it with shrimp or blackened chicken. The portions are American Italian so you will have some to take home. The house salad is also excellent. The Italian Margarita is a refreshing drink after a few hours in the burning sun.“

“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.“

“Always a place I enjoy from the food to the atmosphere to the warm and friendly welcome. Host James and server Maria were most attentive and the food (grouper special and veal marsala) were excellent.“

“Great menu, drinks, atmosphere, service, music 10 or of 10. Please open one in Trinity. We have a severe imbalance of restaurants per capita and demand is there. Home run guaranteed!“

“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…“

“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.“

“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.“

“As I entered it was friendly and warm feeling. Great staff. The Chef extremely friendly and helpful with menu. Food was delicious and the taste is Italian indeed. The food presentation was on point. I requested extra meatballs and they were eager to please and truly worth it. Definitely my new Italian spot moving forward.
Thank you Forchetta for an extraordinary experience.“

“Finally made it there last night for our party of four and I can’t say enough. The restaurant is beautiful inside the service was fantastic and the food was absolutely incredible. I really think this place just knocked off my favorite Italian restaurant in Saint Pete. Highly recommend it“

Nicole, our waitress was very friendly, personable, and attentive!! The music was great...loud enough to enjoy but not drown out conversation....made for the perfect atmosphere!! Try this place....you'll love it!! 😊“

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

“food is excellent. I don't even know where to begin, the garlic knots I can't stop buying them every few days I just have to have them in the house I have them when I have a salad or if I'm in a hurry and I have a microwave dinner it turns it into a real meal. the pizza is the greatest in the entire County and the meatball sub I can't get enough of them. I'm so glad they reopened. they were previously in Rutland Plaza for like 30 years. so happy I can finally get a good pizza again. actually everything's really really good but I always seem to order the pizza ,garlic knots and meatballs sub. my mom loves the Italian sub, the bread is good.“

“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.“

“Oh. My. God.“

“Good food and good service!! I highly recommend eating here!! The calamari and the gnocchi are DELICIOUS!!“

“Omg❣️✨️Amanda was my waitress she's so sweet. I was unsure of the "Tour of Italy" and she recommended I give it a try and let me tell you!!! IT WAS DELICIOUS! It's been a really long time since I've been to an Olive Garden and this one has made me change the way I have viewed olive garden for many years. This location has become one of my new go too restaurants.“

“Fettuccine primavera had a good blend of vegetables, including squash. Sauce seemed buttery and homemade. There was a bit of spice but nothing overbearing or offensive. Bread and salad was good too. Food was still hot when delivered by Doordash on bike.“

“Cozy atmosphere GREAT FOOD! One of our Go-to's!“

“I ordered blackened chicken Alfredo and it was a 10/10. Chris ordered chicken parm and he also loved it.“

“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!!“

“Great! We will be back the next time we are in St. Pete. The restaurant started things off on the right foot by graciously accommodating us early when our plans changed. Bailey, our server was perfect. Attentive, prompt, friendly, and helpful. The food was fantastic. I'm not sure which I liked best, eating the Cavatelli Bada Bing or watching it being prepared at the table. Seriously, the food is great.“

“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 😋🍝“

“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!“

“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!“

“We had a 75th birthday party on a Sat. Night. The owners and staff were helpful, courteous, caring, and the food, drink and dessert were as always excellent. We have been going there since they opened and we have always felt welcomed and treated like family. A very Italian feeling Taverna. One of our favorite in St Pete. Thank you for your help in making our celebration so special.“

“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!“

“First time in 10.30.24
Service was awesome, very friendly! The pizza is fresh and delicious, the crust is crispy and perfect! We enjoyed a large pie half pep & pineapple with a slice from the window(so delicious) not to mention the bathrooms are exceptionally clean! We will definitely be 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.“

“Great service food was delicious“

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

“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.“

“Food was awesome! Great place to stop.“

“Great staff and always good food.“

“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 😊.“

“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!“

“Soooo refreshing to enjoy a true, delicious, fresh Italian Pizza! This little gem in the plaza with Publix is tucked away, but what a gem. Calzoni, meatballs, chianti, tiramisu, cappuccino… absolute heaven! So happy to have discovered it :) Bon Appetit!“

“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.“

“Outstanding dining experince“

“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!“
