“Food is all homemade and delicious. Service is great!! Live music on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday. What else can you ask for!!! ❤️“

“The food is consistently good,and when I pick it up they show me the food before I take it. That rocks.

Our location doesn't have a lot of diners and its a franchise so I dont expect a ton of ambiance, but it is clean and inviting.“

“My husband and I travel down to Florida from South Jersey about four times a year to visit our son and his family. Tomasino’s is always our first take out choice. Great food and such friendly service, hard to beat that combo. Their cheesesteak subs are superb! Living a half an hour outside of Philadelphia, believe me when I tell you we know our cheesesteaks. Tomasino’s is just as good if not better than most places back home.

“The best Italian restaurant in central Florida!“

“Absolutely phenomenal! This has got to be the BEST pizza I’ve had in ages. We stumbled upon this gem and completely fell in love. The menu may be short, but they excel in every single thing they serve—and I’d argue they do it better than anyone else out there. We kicked things off with the Burrata with white truffle oil and Prosciutto, and it was beyond delicious—a perfect start. Then came the pizzas: the Meat Lovers and Star Luca. Unreal! Every bite was bursting with flavor, and it’s hard to believe that each pizza could be as exceptional as the last. And just when we thought it couldn’t get any better, we ended the meal with the Nutella Pizza with Bananas. How is it even possible for every single item to be this amazing? But it’s not just the food; the atmosphere and staff elevate the experience to a whole new level. Katherine, our server, was outstanding. She made us feel completely at home and had spot-on recommendations for everything. We even got to meet Marco, who may be the owner or GM, and either way, he’s clearly got a gift for running an extraordinary establishment. This place has officially won us over—we’re not just fans; we’re now loyal customers for life!“

“Everything is made fresh and in-house with great quality ingredients. They have a nice market selection also for take-home items like fresh pasta and desserts.“

“Love Prato! So much fun! Great food! ❤️🍷“

“Today we found this gem ! The food and staff are superb! Portions are big and delicious!!We found our new lunch spot!! Best Italian food we found in Florida!“

“I have been craving chicken piccata, but too lazy to make it. I ordered directly through them for delivery and it arrived piping hot and perfect. I got it with added mushrooms and extra sauce and a side of the antipasto salad. It also came with garlic knots. The sauce was exactly how I wanted it. And the salad had the perfect amount of toppings and dressing. I called the order in and the woman that answered the phone was polite and helpful- as was the person who delivered it. I will definitely be visiting the restaurant in person, but can’t imagine it tasting better than it did delivered.“

“Delicious and fresh classic Italian paired with amazing service is a win win!! We are always are greeted with a smile and welcoming vibe. Love this place so much!“

“We wanted to compare this place to what we experienced in Rome. It’s not Rome but it captures the essence. Enjoy.“

“Just left there for my first visit and I found it to be slightful. My windiw seat was perfect, the jazz music , the cheese playecwas lovelybandvour waiter Leah was so carefulbtokeep us hapoy and cared for. I will be back very soon“

“This is our favorite pizza! My son won’t eat pizza from anywhere else unless he has no choice. The staff is wonderful and manages to give it a small- business feel without compromising quality. We tell everyone about it to make sure they are supported.“

“The chicken quesadilla was excellent. The chef clearly proud of his food. “These are the best quesadilla in town” he said. He’s 100% correct. I don’t usually like refried beans but these were really good. Same with the rice. The hot sauces are made in house. You can taste the freshness of the ingredients. The chicken was fresh abs tender. it’s more of a take out place but there are a few tables. I’ll be back….often.“

“I usually get pizzas and calzones. Last night I actually tried their pasta dishes and let me tell you, their Alfredo sauce is addictive. I had the fettuccine Alfredo and it was the best I ever had hands down. It was decadence in pasta form.“

Exploring the menu offers both highly-praised signature dishes and delicious specialty / traditional pizzas. The quality of ingredients is evident in every bite, delivering a truly outstanding flavor. The dedication of the family owners, coupled with amazing service, makes this a place people can always rely on for a delightful meal. You can’t go wrong with cafe paisano.“

“Highly recommended. Great food and great service!“

“Antoney and his lovely wife could not be more generous and gracious of spirit. You feel like you are truly in good hands with these two and it's awesome to see a restaurant know the true meaning of hospitality. The food is all made from scratch and is OUTSTANDING. This place is a hidden and rare gem.“

“Mila was our server and she was very kind, professional, efficient and poised. She took great care of our group. Our food…amazing. The servings were HUGE and flavorful. A big plus: Darryl (host) was so kind and fun as he volunteered to take many pics of our group in front of the ristorante. He and Mila are great ambassadors of your business. We will return. Grazie !! 🇮🇹“

“Ok so i wanted a salad thinking that the Caprese salad was a salad but NO.
It was ok but not my favorite.

Chicken and shrimp Matriccianna pasta it was good. But i wanted Alfredo sauce.

Garlic bread was good

And the Beef soup“

“Delicious! Recommend highly. 5 stars!“

“Food was excellent tonight!! We did take-out“

“Kristin was a fantastic waitress. She took care with our order. All the food came out fresh and hot. The cooks served food that was outstanding and fresh. Thank You for an awesome dinner!!“

“Cute Italian spot in a great location! The bruschetta was INCREDIBLE and my favorite appetizer at the table. My other favorite dish was their chicken dish! I forgot what it was called but it was one of chef’s specials. This place does not have their liquor license so I would advise against their wine-based cocktails, and just get wine instead. Overall was pleased with my meal and the service“

“I consider myself a ‘Chicken Marsala’ connoisseur and I have to tell you, this place is outstanding. If Francisco is in the kitchen, your food is going to be out of this world. I come here 2-3x/week, that’s how much I love it. I also highly recommend their Bucatini Bolognese, my children love it. Very large portion sizes (big enough that I split 1 Bolognese into two bowls and my 8 + 5 year old can hardly finish it) , friendly staff and small restaurant vibes, 10/10 for me! - Elizabeth Woollcombe-Clarke“

“Their are clearly mark take out and delivery. Do you feel the same way when you go papa johns or Dominos and there is no sitting.“

“We’ve been coming for lunch here for several years and the food is always fantastic! We are here most Sundays and Dylan always does a great job running around by himself. I would’ve given a 5 star review but poor Dylan could use some help on Sundays to reduce wait times and accuracy!“

“Good food, value and service!“

“Came in for the first time last night. Service and food were phenomenal. HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!“

“My meal was fantastic but the cherry on the top was our server Taylor. She was absolutely marvelous. She’s an asset to your company. Hang onto her tightly. Don’t ever let her go. Everything was wonderful. We can’t wait to return. Thank you for a wonderful experience“

“We eat here at least once a week. The Gino's special pizza is our absolute favorite. The service is beyond description. Wanda, Karen, Jordan and the owner (I assume Gino) make us feel like we're in Cheers, where everybody knows your name. Its a neighborhood restaurant where you feel and are treated like family. We love this place. We usually sit at the bar and inevitably we meet wonderful people who make our meal that much more enjoyable. LOVE THIS PLACE.“

“Very beautiful restaurant. Food was really good. However, I am an italian and have to say it was not entirely classic italian food. Most of it was not prepped the way I grew up with but I am a little biased. Food was decent. My wife liked it.“

“The food is always prepared perfectly. Chefs Tony and Ryan do an awesome job making sure everything is cooked to your liking. Annmarie and Amy make sure the customers are taken care of as far as drinks and service are concerned. Always friendly and accommodating. A very friendly atmosphere, great for a night out with friends or a date night.“

“Enjoyed late lunch Saturday.Love the music. Attentive waitress. Salad kept coming. Love the salad. Dinner entree ordered - eggplant parm - took half hour - 4 eggplant rounds sliced too thin - 1/4in and extra crispy with watery tasteless spaghetti. Should have sent it back.“

“Great food I ordered the 3 different pasta it was delicious!!“

“First time at this location. This is a true 5-star dining experience. A beautiful, clean restaurant. Was the VERY FIRST TIME that the breadsticks and Alfredo sauce had come out at the same time - at any other OG never had. Kiersten was our server and was great at checking in on us for additional salad or soup“

“My experience here was absolutely amazing! Our server, Landon, was cool, funny, and always checking in to make sure everything was perfect. The food was incredible, and the portion sizes were unbelievable! Thank you for treating us like family.

Yours truly,
Don Pepperoni 🍕“

“What an awesome experience we had today, when 25 of us had a delicious lunch, on your porch! Everyone enjoyed their food…..pizza, salads, sub, & brushetta. Lindel did an outstanding job waiting on us, and brought our checks, in a very orderly manner. Kudos to him! Highly recommend Ragazzi’s.“

“Great dinner tonight. First time customer but it won’t be the last time. Great service and food.“

“Celebrated my 65th birthday lunch with some good friends - our serviced was amazing and the food was fresh and delicious!“

“I went on a Wednesday evening and the food was flawless. For $43 we got 2 meals with unlimited bread sticks, soup, and salad, with plenty of leftovers for another full meal. The food was exceptional, we were sat down immediately, and it was very enjoyable. My server seemed a little tired/out of it, but took care of us perfectly and didn't hesitate on the bread sticks.“
