50 Best Italian Restaurants near Westchase

“Wanted a good bread pizza this week and remembered Atlas for the excellent dough. Ordered delivery online for first time and was really easy. Pizza arrived as promised and pizza was a beautiful sight as usual. Atlas has always been consistent in their quality in my experience. They don't have the largest selection of options on types of pizza and foods but that's ok. Cause what they do they do well and they seem to take pride in how it looks. I get pizza from all over and sometimes the pizza is good but looks kind of messy and if you go to place looks that way as well. Atlas is always very clean and basic , but in a good way. As I. Not all kinds of crazy stuff all over the walls and messy. My only request would be a bit more sauce. You have good sauce, that's what gives it real flavor, give us a little more .but then again that's a preference I guess. Still always a good pizza...“

“I highly recommend the Tori's wings, the cheese fries and the Little Cuban pizza (I get that without the chicken on it). The Balboa with steak is also great. Whether it's eating in, taking out or delivered the food is always fresh and hot and delicious.Best wings and cheese fries I've ever had and one of the best pizzas I've had too.“

“Brought a group of 8 in tonight for dinner. Everyone loved their meals. I ordered the Sacchettini with Grilled Shrimp. This might be the best pasta dish I have ever had in my life. I didn't know how the pear would work with the pasta but WOW... it was out of this world!! Everything from the bread to the dessert (tried the cannoli, and mousse cake) was perfectly prepared. The chef is very talented here and you can taste their love of true Italian cuisine! I can't wait to try more things on the menu.“

“My hubby and I have been living in the Carrollwood Villages for a month now and we have had 3 phenomenal experiences at Noble Crust. Bridget took our ToGo order, and she knocked it out the park. We sat at the bar with Brett and Gabby. Then today, for brunch, we had the pleasure of being served by Darian. Josh the manager was nice enough to hear us gush about our experience. All 3 experiences were top notch and we are excited about our next visit. Thank you for having amazing service.“

“Wanted to try something new,so we decided on Massimos. I am so glad we did. The service was outstanding, the food was great. Great atmosphere! Will definitely be back. The chef who is also the owner,came out to make sure we had a great meal. And that we did!“

“My husband and I had a wonderful time at Casa Consenza for my birthday. They made me feel very special that evening. The food was amazing and so fresh. The service was impeccable. I highly recommend Casa Cosenza for a truly authentic Italian experience.“

“Excellent food at reasonable prices. I saw this place while driving by and decided to pickup dinner. If you don’t want to wait preorder online. Our hero’s and Stromboli were freshly made to order. The bread was delicious and extremely fresh. We waited browsing the store for about 30 and there is a gray variety of pasta, condiments and sweets available for purchase. They also have a counter with fresh meat and cheeses. I also saw frozen homemade meals to take home for a very good price.The hero’s and Stromboli were big enough for two meals or two people to share.“

“So, writing this review after Marcos and I visited FOUR times in 10 days. It. Was. Delicious. It's a one man show providing the whole experience and he knocks it out of the park. We've tried the carbonara, the bolognese and the amatriciana dishes so far as well as his tres leches. We're planning on ordering a lasagna, and looking forward to trying some of his daily specials soon too. Both eat in and take out: same amount of love poured into each dish.“

“Ahoy, me hearties! Gather 'round and lend an ear to this salty sea dog's tale of a culinary adventure that'll make yer taste buds dance a jig. I've sailed the seven seas, braved treacherous storms, and battled scurvy-ridden scallywags, but never have I encountered a bounty as bountiful as Maggiano's.'Twas me first time settin' foot on this fabled establishment's hallowed grounds, and let me tell ye, it left me as giddy as a landlubber after a bottle o' rum. The atmosphere, me mates, was as welcoming as a safe harbor after a long voyage, with a crew of attentive staff that tended to our every need, like a well-oiled ship's rigging.And the grub? Aye, 'twas a feast fit for a king's ransom! From the moment the first morsel graced me tongue, I knew I'd found a treasure trove of flavors that would make even the saltiest of pirates weep tears of joy. Each bite was a symphony of deliciousness, like a siren's song luring me deeper into a world of culinary bliss.But what really made this voyage unforgettable was the guidance of our trusty first mate, Danny. This scallywag knew the menu like a seasoned navigator knows the stars, and his recommendations were as spot-on as a well-aimed cannonball. He regaled us with tales of Maggiano's storied history, like a grizzled old salt spinning yarns of high-seas hijinks.So, heed me words, ye landlubbers and seafarers alike! If ye be seekin' a culinary odyssey that'll leave yer belly full and yer heart content, set yer course for Maggiano's. Ye won't be disappointed, or may the kraken drag me to Davy Jones' locker!“

“Overall this Carrabbas in Pal Harbor rates high in our books. We had Bob as our waiter again and he is very attentive and knows how to wait on a table. Not rushing us and bringing the entree at the right time. Our food was hot, delicious and nicely presented and plenty although 5 shrimp not 4 would have been better and less fettuccine Alfredo! I gave it a 4 because we decided to order a dessert with coffee. Coffee was not hot and old. Asked for fresh and for an Italian restaurant they need to improve on their COFFEE greatly!“

“ISA was a fantastic server! Isa was very attentive and made our dinner experience a absolute plessure. The food was excellent and we took advantage of the $10 take home special to extend our experience. Would highly recommend this Italian Grill and will go back regularly.“

“Tried a couple places when I moved over here to Palm Harbor. If you love NY style pizza Leonardos is hands down the best in the area. SO much flavor in every bite, sauce has a great taste, cheese is melted perfectly, crust is always cooked well and not burnt. Unless you want it to be, they usually ask if you'd like to leave it a little longer.Deaf owned and operated, customer service is always a 10/10. Never have issues ordering, always end up chatting regardless.My usual is just 2 slices and a drink for $7 around lunch, can't beat that price in todays market. Do yourself a favor and try Leonardos.“

“Hello this is my first time here. I really and thoroughly enjoyed my time at Water and Flour. The staff Brian, Brandon, Karissa, France took great care of me while I sat at the bar uncluding the other staff. They were all so nice and personable. I had the meatballs, sourdough flatbread and cesar salad were all great! Karissa and Brandon made awesome drinks as well. I will definitely be back!!!“

“10/10 every time - amazing service from the moment you valet your car until the moment you leave. This is our favorite italian in Tampa. We can't wait to bring our family in for Mothers Day. Thank you for always making the experience so special for us.“

“John is always pleasant. He makes us feel well taken care of. Greeted us as we walked in and then was very attentive during our entire visit. Food was phenomenal, steak and cheese sub, italian sub, salad, and fries (crispy & tasty). Our once a week lunch go-to and often pizza to go for dinner too!“

“Not sure why it shows that we went yesterday when it was actually tonight, but here's my review. The food was good and the service was exceptional. Kelly was very friendly and efficient and got our group everything we needed promptly. Everyone's food was great with my wife having the shrimp scampi and I had the shrimp carbonara. Our friends had the salmon and everyone was happy with the food.“

“Excellent NY style pizza made by Patriot. I went right when they opened and the pizza was so good, ask for extra crispy, that I went back two more times in the month. I recommend the pizza and garlic knots with a shot of espresso for dessert. Plenty of parking but it can get busy. I'm sure the other food options are just as good.“

“It is one of my favorite spots in the Carrollwood area, but this time it has to be a four. They have too many "Grandma" dishes, so make sure the waiter hears you as to exactly which one you want through all the noise. I received the wrong one. My daughter ordered the lasagna and she could not get passed the first couple of bites, as it was dry and didn't have any flavor. The lobster ravioli at least was the hit of the table. They are better than the Olive Garden for sure, but we were let down this last visit. Maybe next time is a five.“

“The team tonight was amazing. Very kind and welcoming. The chef went above and beyond with his service. I would highly recommend going here! Pizzas are priced perfectly and the pizza does not disappoint at all. Great flavors and a variety to choose from.“

“This was our first visit. I thought the food was superb and the service was excellent. The salmon was melt in your mouth delicious. I paired it with some angel hair pasta, sautéed in olive oil and garlic, and I thought I died and went to heaven! “

“I can’t tell you how much we enjoyed dining at The Bistro. We liked it so much, we ate there the next night as well. The food was excellent, the service was warm and friendly and the atmosphere was just fun! Loved everything about it.Parking: Plenty of spots both visits.“

“Great place! Buddy and I went out for drinks last night. We typically bar hop very sporadically, but we found ourselves hanging out there for a few hours. Staff was outstanding, fun, and made our night interesting in the best possible way. Definitely the best bar in Soho.“

“Love everything about this place. They won my heart the fact that they peeled the eggplant before it became a sub. Nothing caught in my teeth lol. But it was so authentic just like mom used to make. On fresh baked Italian bread - I had to get another loaf to go. The deli case has all my Italian favorites.. even Braciole! Authentic Italian items in their mart section too. Small place but a treasure.“

“Our first time here and we were not disappointed. I almost forgot pictures as you can see. My Pollo Rosso was to die for. The heat was just enough for a really nice kick. My husband opted for a calzone. Can I say Huge was an understatement? For dessert both the cheesecake and the raspberry brulee were the perfect ending to a our dining experience.“

“My husband and I decided to dine at Pane last minute so I was pleased to see an opening at 7:45 on Open Table. The restaurant was very busy but we were seated in a few minutes. Robby came by on his way to drop off food at another table and said he'd be right with us, which he was. He expertly took our drink order plus our meal order and delivered everything in a timely order. He made a nice suggestion on a red blend wine for me. We had the hanger steak which was cooked perfectly. Pane never fails in food or service quality.“

“The chef who made my steak today deserves a raise. Every single bite of my 16 oz strip was orgazmic. Perfectly charred, perfect temperature. The crusted Gorgonzola was perfection too. I don’t think I’ve ever had a better steak. Thank you for that experience Mr “

“Very busy, very small. Have never eaten in before and there were no tables so I took my pizza to go. Delicious as always.Vegetarian options: Can build your own pizza and choose your toppingsParking: Huge lot in a shopping center. Easy to find parking at peak times.“

“Delicious!!!!! Ledos was our favorite restaurant back home and we've been missing it since moving. We were super excited to find out there was a Ledos in the area while visiting Tampa. We drove 30 minutes to get there from our vacation spot and it was worth it!“

“Amazing wait staff, we accidentally spilled a drink and had a larger party anyway (4 kids and 2 adults). Waiter and bus staff super nice and were on top of it, waiter even threw in a free piece of cheesecake to our daughter who spilled the drink because she felt bad. Truly a great experience.“

“Think "the City", mid 70's. The local Italian place that was a magnet - good food, friendly people, prompt service .. talk back and forth .. the food - really good - and I'm fussy about Italian food having grown up in the City in the referenced time frame. This restaurant has been around for many years - our experience there today made a bold statement answering the question of its longevity - it is good no matter which way "you slice it". Go. Enjoy.“

“Despite me having to send my food back due to me not liking the pasta texture, I guess that is a me thing and not a chef thing.. I do like my pasta aldente but seeemed like it was consistent. I enjoyed my visit here. The atmosphere was great. Nice spot for a date night..“

“An old favorite of mine. As far as Clearwater is concerned, its some of the best if not the best they have. Pizza is cooked well, delicious, not much to complain about. I do wish Montys would hand make the mozzarella sticks instead of dumping frozen ones in a fryer. They're so easy to make and much more delicious. I make them at home all the time! Waitress wasn't around much but made sure my drinks were full..she was pleasant. No complaints.“

“Great food…. consistently great food. Oh yes, and they have great service. No kidding if you’re in the mood for great Italian food served by really friendly people who are very knowledgeable and can discuss every item and ingredient on the menu with you, then this is the place for you.“

“I have never had a better pizza! It truly is made from the heart! It's amazing even both my 5 and 4 year old boys said it was the best pizza they ever had!! Great music playing nice outside area to enjoy the food! I will be back ALOT!! seriously so so ? good!!!“

“We were in Tampa for the airshow and were invited to dine at this restaurant. So we decided to make the 30-minute drive.Now this is all my personal opinion.....The inside of the restaurant is actually pretty cool! Simple, functional, and practical. I actually liked it....Now, the service was crazy good! But what really made it worth the drive!!!Was the food! OH MY G!!!!!Our group took recommendations and ordered appetizers.. Not one bad app!!! All incredibly delicious!Then I ordered the "Chef special" pasta with sausageWOW!! The hand-made pasta was the first thing I noticed.... the sauce was incredible, and the sausage had a nice sweet taste to it... Everything blended together perfectly!!!Now I'm a Foodie, and I ate all mine but looking at everyone else's dinners... the rest of the group took home leftovers! Seriously, a lot of food!We all agreed that the Food was just incredible! The staff is amazing.And the owner and Head Chef even came out to introduce himself and spend a couple of minutes talking with us!Overall, I personally would Highly recommend this place!!“

“Good taste on the sausage, mushroom, onion half. I prefer more garlic and fennel, on their thin crust as well. I generally add what I feel is missing, but I know it would be better if cooked in. The pineapple and chicken half was forgettable, coming from the couple that eat chickapple all the time. They reported that the chicken tasted canned/flavorless. I tried it, they were right. That side, too, would benefit from a dusting of garlic and perhaps a few herbs. I’ll stick to Chicago thin crust.“

“Been here a few times before and haven't been impressed enough to write a review, until now. Vincent was our first impression upon walking up and honestly set the tone for a great night. He opened the door for us and helped us to a table outside. Our waitress Rachel was very attentive and provided nice service. The team worked well together and helped with food as well. I just wish outside was a non smoking area. The gluten free pizza here is always great. The wings were good, a little dry and some a little burnt too but still flavorful nonetheless..There is a points system that is rarely mentioned, don't forget to ask about it ! The manager Vincent visited us again during our meal to ensure we were enjoying ourselves to which we definitely were.Overall a successful date night, and I was able to kick someone's butt in Uno. A double win in my book!“

“Great Experience. Great Food, Great PeopleI obviously can’t write multiple reviews about one place but if I could, I would have given them 5 star every single time. The management is fantastic! Above excellent!! You don’t get that anywhere and I mean anywhere. The only place that my husband can actually eat gluten free without being sick as a dog. Olive Garden westchase we salute you and your management. Thank you for all you do to make sure people with Celiac disease can also eat pasta ❤️“

“In town on Biz , late day starving for a nice dinner and bumped into Carrabba's , I haven't been to this chain resturant in eons so I went in . I decided to sit outside in there patio area after being indoors for most of the day . Started off with there peach sangria and instantly got a buzz :) Then jumped in with a Cesar's salad followed by my fav dish chicken parm w spaghetti definitely enough for 2 people but I did destroy it The outside ambiance definitely made the difference, will see if my local Carrabbas has that perk . PS the bread at the begging with the olive oil and spices is memorable !“

“If you're looking for good pizza this is your place. Fresh and made to order. Also had the wings they were very delicious. I recommend their signature sauce for your wings. You will not be disappointed. Overall good experience I will eat there again.“

“My Wife and I just had lunch at Mandolas on Tampa Rd. In Oldsmar. The lunch was Excellent and the Staff and Atmosphere was terrific! Teresea one of the Managers went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed and that we had the best experience possible! We would highly recommend Mandolas to anyone wanting to have a Great experience!“

“Our initial visit experience this evening was 5 star and we were made to feel like family. Paulo welcomed us and then his daughter Ilaria took over and walked us through a flawless journey from wine to our incredible meal. Homemade pasta, Paulo’s personally made bread, and much more. We look forward to returning and will refer our friends to this awesome restaurant. Marlene, David, and our little pet Morkie Gracie. Grazie Paulo.“

“I just ordered the wings pizza and the Philly and omg it was the best and Nick S was great and recommended the wings he likes the most and I tried them and we'll nick I'm getting them every time thanks for the great I lefted a review on the other one but u went to this one great great I wish I order more then 10 wings cause there so good“

“The food was amazing, the servers were all cute little waitresses, and the look of the place fit the authenticity of the food, extremely good tasting food, the price is a little high for the average little Italian restaurant but when you bite into the food you know why, high quality ingredients from Italy! Over all really happy to have made it out to dinner here shout out to Franco who personally comes to your table to check on you! Loved it“

“We brought a big group here prior to a show at SideSplitters and the food was wonderful and the staff was so accommodating. Our server Anna was great. She got us out in time for the show. Highly recommend!Vegetarian options: It’s pizza, so you can make it vegetarian if u want.Parking: Parking lotKid-friendliness: While there were no kids in our group, there were kids in the restaurant.“

“We ordered chicken wings with honey and chili sauce, delicious. Also, ordered the charcuterie waygu beef delicious as well bread basket, and a surprise meal ordered for one of our party he couldn’t decide so the server surprised it was pasta, chicken ??? But was delicious too.“

“SUNDAY SPECIAL! We went during the rush of a Sunday. Service was quick, attentive and nice. We had to wait a few minutes which was to be expected during the busy hours. The food came out piping hot and delicious as ever. All the way down the to bread. Extremely soft and fluffy. The ziti had sooo much flavor with each ingredient combined in it and the gelato was amazing! The manager was extremely friendly and brought us a to go back and said goodbye! We felt very welcome and happy during the whole visit! The restaurant is extremely cute as well, great decor!“

“My husband and I were looking for a hidden gem on our vacation to Tampa. We stopped here based on a local’s suggestion. We were NOT disappointed! Emily was our server and she was so friendly and sweet, as well as very knowledgeable about the food selection. The portion sizes were large, the bread and caesar salad were amazing, and the food was all ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! Definitely visit this place if you’re looking for great food and great service, without a tourist feel.“
