50 Best Italian Restaurants near Westchase

“Love the wine dinners each month!!!!!“

“They are open until 2 AM which is great! The crust is not pre-made or prefrontal, he spins it right in front of you. We had the Orr, pepperoni with pesto and honey Sriracha drizzle. The pesto was not overwhelming and the drizzle was the perfect amount of spicy and sweet. The Italian working there never stopped and worked quickly to fill orders. I noticed they had a Cauliflower crust option! Prices are great! Make sure you give them a try!“

“St. Pete—Literally sitting at dinner now, & our server, Enzo, has been absolutely WONDERFUL. He’s kind, knowledgable & engaging with his tables—all things I love to see in customer service areas (it can be such a lost concept!) We love Olivia (their arancini is the best we’ve ever had && my husband & I each get our own), but I’d request to sit in Enzo’s section if he’s working in the future.“

“Review: Casa Cosenza - Oldsmar, FL Casa Cosenza – Oldsmar has become my go-to Italian restaurant, and each visit is nothing short of a culinary journey through the diverse flavors of Italy. From the moment you step through the door, the warm ambiance and friendly staff make you feel like you've been transported to the heart of Italy. The owner is what I call fresh off the boat, and many of his staff reflect the flavor and ambiance you would expect in Italy The menu offers a delightful array of authentic Italian dishes that cater to all tastes, and all the pasta is made in house! Michael Glinter has traveled to 68 countries and 36 states to get the flavor of some amazing foods. His view on reviews is simple – Taste, Presentation, and Service. He believes it's important to tell the reader both a positive and negative unbiased look at the restaurant. Let's take a look and see how Casa Consenza scored in these 3 categories. Taste and Presentation We started with a special appetizer for the night which was a Homemade Tortellini stuff with Italian cheese and white truffle in a white cream sauce. Then for entrees we had Filetto al Barolo a 8oz Filet Mignon in red wine sauce, served with mushrooms, vegetables, and house potatoes, and the night special which was a Branzino filet with mussels and clams topped with a red sauce. The filet was cooked to absolute perfection, the Barolo wine reduction is a symphony of flavors and truly complemented the meat, The presentation was equally impressive, with an artful arrangement that highlighted the dish's elegance and with a side of perfectly cooked mushrooms, zucchini, and potatoes. and a choice of potato accompaniment The Branzino was a true celebration of the sea, a dish that impeccably combines freshness, flavor, and culinary artistry. It was grilled to perfection, showcasing the pristine quality of the fish. Each forkful revealed a subtle sweetness that spoke of the sea, and the expert seasoning allowed the natural flavors to shine. The inclusion of mussels and clams added a dynamic layer to the dish. The shellfish were impeccably cooked, tender and brimming with the essence of the ocean. The savory broth, infused with garlic, white wine, and herbs, was a symphony of complementary flavors that elevated the entire dish to a new level of indulgence. The presentation was a work of art, with the vibrant colors of the seafood and the aromatic broth creating an enticing visual appeal. The dish was accompanied by a medley of seasonal vegetables, adding a refreshing balance to the richness of the seafood. Service What can I say. Max. Dear Max. He was amazing. He exhibited a genuine passion for the cuisine, providing insightful descriptions of each dish and its preparation. His enthusiasm not only enhanced our dining experience but also reflected a true dedication to the art of hospitality. He was constantly attentive to our table, always asking us how things were doing, tasting, and making sure we were well taken care of. I observed him around the restaurant and his passion for people and really creating an amazing guest experience was top notch. The Italian décor, soft lighting, and the piano truly created an intimate atmosphere, making it an ideal spot for a romantic dinner or a celebration with friends and family. In conclusion, Casa Cosenza is a gem among Italian restaurants. The dedication to authenticity, the quality of ingredients, and the overall dining experience make it a must-visit for anyone craving a taste of Italy in the heart of Tampa Bay. Every visit has always been a celebration of the rich culinary heritage that Italy has to offer. Buon Appetito! If you do go to visit and Max is working, tell him “Uncle Mike” sent you there and he will make sure you have an unbelievable experience.“

“Water+flour is an absolute gem! We’ve been coming here for years and recently it’s become our favorite place to eat consistently. Every time we go eat here no matter the time of day we are in awe of the great service and the delicious food. The atmosphere is always so relaxing even when they’re busy it’s enjoyable , adding to the overall experience. We most recently went to celebrate my birthday and our server was Megan she was seriously amazing and made it feel like such a special experience! All of the servers are attentive and we’ve never had a bad experience which is why we continue to come back! They have a great group of people working there and you can see their manager France cares about her employees and the establishment!!“

“Stopped in yesterday on the way home. First time there. Everyone was very friendly. The food was amazing. We had the white pizza and a pepperoni pizza. Both were very delicious. My wife is from Chicago, she definitely said it reminded her of home. It has been difficult for her to find a good place even after being here for 14 years, she believes she has finally found her pizza home.“

“That’s what I’m talking about!!! Great food! What a great menu!!! Looking forward to many great meals to come. Town and Country needed a legit Pizza spot and Tomato Joe’s delivers!!! 🙌🏼“

“From the moment we walked into Mandolzas Italian Kitchen, we were greeted with a warm smile and genuine hospitality. The restaurant was spotless, with an inviting atmosphere that made us feel instantly comfortable. The staff was incredibly friendly, and ordering was an absolute breeze with their full menu of mouthwatering options. Portions were perfect. Satisfying without being over the top and the service was impressively efficient. Plates were served and cleared so quickly without ever feeling rushed. I loved the thoughtful touches, like the to-go station for leftovers and to-go cups for drinks. A huge thank you to Jessica, the manager, for the wonderful conversation and the sweet surprise of dessert. The food was absolutely delicious, and then there’s dessert… oh my goodness! From the beautiful selection of gelato to the tempting baked goods, it was impossible to resist. We left with full bellies, happy hearts, and the excitement of knowing we’ll definitely be back soon. Thank you, Mandolzas, for an incredible dining experience!“

“We have been dinning at Bella's for over 20 years and have enjoyed each visit. We love the atmosphere! The place is usually busy with couples of all ages, groups of friends, 3-4 generations of families dinning together. It's wonderful! The food is always good to very good to great! The service is always good, but the service last night from Justin, our waiter, was exceptional. We'll request Justin the next time we visit Bella's.“

“Amazing experience! The service was outstanding from the moment we arrived. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made us feel very welcome throughout our visit.

“It’s tough to defeat Olive Garden for a quick easy dinner. I like to sit at the bar. Allison is friendly and attentive. Got salad, soup, bottle of wine, and a to go order. The Calabrian steak and shrimp bucatini was surprisingly excellent. The chicken Parmesan Alfredo was excellent, as was the soup and salad. Breadsticks as always are incredibly delicious, and they’re even better if you get a side of Alfredo sauce to dip them in.“

“as a retired Deputy Sheriff in Tampa for the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office. I would dine at Carrabba's many times. it was also located with my patrol zone area on N. Dale Mabry Hwy. in Tampa.“

“Couldn’t have been better Caesar Wrap was outstanding and delicious…the service was excellent and the restaurant was immaculate…HIGHLY recommend 👍“

“My wife and I took the 'Tour of Italy' at Bella's, and were not disappointed. Very original Italian food. The wine was nice as well. Our server was attentive, and the manager came by the table several times to make sure we were satisfied. I must say the AC worked very well, to the point I donned a long sleeve shirt from the truck. Highly recommend if you are in the Springhill area.“

“Great Place! Highly Recommend“

“Love the atmosphere because when I walked in, I could just start signing and my order be understood in my language! Was at the restaurant for about an hour, we saw several hearing people coming in and they obviously are repeat customers because they knew what they wanted. The wonderful part of our visit today - we were able to chat with Kelly and learn some interesting information about being a business owner. Will be sharing about this place as want to support our Deaf ecosystem! Thank you Kelly for your time chatting with us. I am glad I saw the promotion on Instagram so we could visit as well! Thank you David from Signs of Good Food for sharing this place.“

“Brought my crew in after catering a large group close by for dinner last night. Huge difference from our visit a few years ago. Our server Susan did a great job considering how busy they were. Food was great! One of the owners brought us our drinks, and was very personable- thanks Howie! He was also pitching in doing everything from greeting diners to helping bus tables. Pretty awesome, something I rarely ever see. Old school Italian, cool fish tank- great experience thank you!“
