Italian Restaurants near Holiday

“Saw many good reviews of Infernos and wasn't disappointed with our visit. Alessio made our visit very welcoming and super delicious. His wood fired Neapolitan pizza was incredible making us think we were back in Italy. We will definitely return.“

“Best Italian food in the area. Marinara sauce is great! Blue cheese dressing is outstanding! Their bread is incredible. Chix Parmesan is a huge favorite. Their Sicilian Special Sub is WOW!! Comfortable atmosphere for couples or families.“

“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!“

“Fireside virgin no more! A client recommended this place for great wood-fired brick oven pizza. Man he was not kidding! My absolute new favorite pizza! Excited to go back there some Friday afternoon with the office staff for late lunch/happy hour & try the wings which are also supposed to awesome. Great for outdoor dining when the weather’s nice. What a gem in downtown Palm Harbor!“

“An Excellent place for a home-made Italian dinner! Food was excellent, service was great & entertainment was perfect for a great evening! Highly recommend this restaurant & don’t rush - enjoy the food and the great atmosphere!!! Will definitely come back here next time we are in “

“The food and service have always been on point. We hadn’t been here in a couple years and tonight was no exception. We had an Amazing meal and experience. Thank you to the staff and Katie for everything. Well worth the 1000 mile trip for it“

“It's a Friday so either it's Pasta are Subs. First time ordering and experiencing Goodfellas menu. I order the DonVito. Best sub since I moved to the area.Soft bread also the right amount of vinaigrette. I will definitely be visiting on a normal basis. ?“

“If you’re in Tarpon, why in the world would you get a sandwich anywhere else? The menu is expansive and has something for everyone and the people working there are so nice. It’s in a great location too right off the Sponge Docks so there’s really no beating it! Can’t wait to go back.“

“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.“

“Tonight was the first time ever ordering from Vinny’s and we will most definitely be returning. Not only was the pizza and knots absolutely delicious but Vinny himself was very welcoming and kind when I picked up my order. 10/10 recommend!“

“Outstanding service and food at Mi Montana Restaurant! We ordered Cuban sandwiches, coffee, and some pastries and everything was delicious. I could tell the food is authentic and made with love. The staff were very friendly. First time visiting and it won’t be the last when we are in that area!“

“First time trying this quaint classy restaurant. Ordered the Meatballs Appetizer. I can't say enough how impressed. They were absolutely delicious. My friend ordered the Pizza and said one of the best he's had. We will be back. Great Service Great Food and pleasant environment.“

“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.“

“I went to your establishment with a good friend, he's vegan, pizza fantastic. Nachos were good. Only thing is ( layer all the ingredients) don't just put the ingredients on the top.Vegetarian options: Pizza, great, same with nachos, see above.“

“What an experience! The owner and staff were so kind and welcoming, it allows you to really relax and truly take in the atmosphere. The owner is Italian- from Italy- and brings his family’s recipes here for us to enjoy and oh did we ever. The wine list is extensive and the tiramisu was the best I’ve ever tasted. I cannot wait to go back.“

“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!“

“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.“

“My go to place when I can't figure out where to go out and eat. Never had a bad meal at this location or really any of they're locations come to think of it. Food is always consistent and staff always on top of things getting the job done. They should bottle and sell the Caesar dressing though just like OG does with their dressing. Based on this area it's probably the best restaurant to go for a decent meal and prices are fair for what you get as I never leave hungry.“

“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.“

“Wow wow wow wow wow wow wow!! Just went there today for the first time after getting a flyer. I’m always looking for the best pizza and I can finally say I found it. Make sure you order it extra crispy as it’s a brick oven and you want the crunch when you bite into it. Our pizza was perfection. The flavor was incredible.I sat and talked to the employees since they are also from Colombia and they are extremely friendly. The location is clean and I can’t wait to go there again and try other items!!Highly and I mean highly recommended!!“

“Chargrilled octopus appetizer and a thick, tender, juicy veal chop smothered in a cream brandy sauce with mushrooms. Outstanding.Service felt rushed but they slowed it down when I asked. Tabletop for 4 was quite cramped and the tables/chairs are a bit crammed in.Parking: Free valet or remote self-parking“

“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.“

“We have a new favorite restaurant! I can see why Jon Bon Jovi dined here when he was in town. I’ve NEVER in my life had better Chicken Francese. My wife’s steak was probably in the top 3 steaks I’ve ever had. I can’t wait to go back and try the lasagna. The owner made the rounds and was a super nice guy and very humble. As high a recommendation as I can possible give.“

“Service was spectacular. The pizza was delicious. We are huge fans of Nonas Slice in Safety Harbor so the bar was set very very high. We were absolutely blown away and not disappointed and now have another favorite pizza place. Our waitress in spite of being super busy was very attentive, helpful and knowledgeable. Our glasses never went empty and food came out promptly.“

“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!!“

“Big Joe's Pasta offers a delightful culinary experience with its rich, authentic Italian flavors. The menu showcases a diverse range of pasta dishes, each carefully crafted with high-quality ingredients. From classic favorites like Spaghetti Bolognese to innovative creations, the variety caters to diverse preferences. The pasta is consistently cooked to perfection, achieving that ideal al dente texture. The sauces are flavorful, striking a harmonious balance that pleases the palate. The ambiance is cozy, creating a welcoming atmosphere for a casual meal or a special occasion. Big Joe's Pasta is a go-to spot for pasta enthusiasts seeking a satisfying, savory experience.“

“Always have a great meal here. I always try and sit in the bar area where service is top notch. Normally get bottomless salad, soup and appetizer but everything I've had is always good. Prices are fair as well. Have done take out once which was just as good.“

“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!“

“Kim and Tammy (both from Michigan like myself) were phenomenal!! Greeted us with genuine happiness and love! Welcomed us in, and served us the best food we’ve had in quite a while! We ordered the lunch margherita pizza, soup of the day, Cesar salad and Greek lasagna! Homemade Cesar dressing, fresh lettuce, crunchy croutons, and all freshly made sauces! Clean atmosphere with good vibes! Seating is clean and room for everyone! We will be bringing our family for dinner. Such a great experience, with great food!“

“THIS WAS SO GOOD. I WISH I CAN GIVE THIS 10 out of 5 STARS, THE COMBINATION COLD SUB WAS SO GOOD, THE BREAD WITH THE MAYO AND THE MEAT IS GOOD. 11/10 WOULD RECOMMENDok edit 1 year later the subs are still good but 2 times they messed up my order but i could take off the stuff i didn't want. i tried the pizza too and it is good.“

“Our baseball team came in to celebrate after winning a Championship game at Starkey and the staff was great. Very accommodating of our party of 40 which is never an easy feat. We all enjoyed our food and beverages, but the staff is really what made our experience great! Thank you! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“We've ordered from the Tarpon Springs location more in the last two months than I'll admit too. Everytime, including yesterday's carryout, my wife and I look at each other and just nod in bliss as we bite into yet another perfect pizza. The staff, in-store and delivery, are always friendly, courteous, and professional. Balanced and generous toppings with a not overly sweet sauce. I've been eating pizza for about 45 years and the pizza at Marco's in Tarpon Springs is by far the best chain pizza in the country.“

“Sam's was recommended to me recently as I expressed my desire to find a place that has Zeppoles. I'd been on a search for the right ones. We placed our first order for Zeppoles here and they were very good!!! The cook prepared them just as asked and indeed they were the best in Pasco that I've had. I've tried a few other places and although they were edible they weren't exactly my favorite. We will definitely order Zeppoles here again.“

“We're from the NJ/NY area. We come here when we want a good slice of pizza. We will not go anywhere else. We usually sit outside at the next door brewery since the inside of this place is smaller/darker/more sports bar like. Pizza usually takes a while, sometimes 20-25 min, but totally worth it. Just call ahead!“

“I have to give a shout out to our Palm Harbor owned, Hungry Howies. The owner, Dennis Cavalcanti, on a few occasions, offered lunch to my team after using Pretty & Clean Services for his home cleaning needs. During a time when there is so little kindness and appreciation, Dennis restored my faith that it still exists. Their food was absolutely delicious, so please show some support to our locally owned businesses. Thank you so much Dennis for your kindness!“

“I have visited Marina's or ordered takeout many times. It has been a pleasant experience every time. However, the last order was not that great. Marina's pizza has great crust and real flavorful sauce. I ordered a large pizza with olives.The pizza had olives but I think the salty olive water from the olive was on the pizza. The topping of the pizza pretty much flowed to one side of the pizza.This also made the pizza really salty. Unfortunately spoiled the experience for us.I am sure this was a one off case but tragically it was my case.I hope Marina's does a better quality check next time.Update: Marina's called and apologized. I appreciate your attention to quality concerns. Will plan another visit soon.“

“Awesome from start to finish. Cashier confirmed my entire order and made sure it was correct (which just doesn't happen anymore) and they delivered on everything! Service, atmosphere, taste, quality....you name it. We will be back and if you haven't been, you are missing out. Thank you to George and the very friendly and efficient team you have here. ?“

“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 have tried many pizza places in the area but none compare to the quality and taste of Gino’s. The pizza was cooked to perfection and the toppings were fresh and flavorful. I love the staff here. They are always so friendly and helpful with menu recommendations . Highly recommend!“

“First time I ordered from this pizzeria and I was highly pleased. I ordered chicken, Parm and my wife ordered eggplant Parm. The dinner came with salad and garlic knots. There was plenty of leftovers as I intend to return and highly recommend this pizzeria“

“I have been going to Ricks for several years. The food is outstanding and the pizza is to die for! I do not go anywhere else for Italian food!Parking: The parking lot is sufficient for several vehiclesKid-friendliness: My grandson has so much energy and loves it there“

“Had lunch once and it was great. Second time I stopped in and the owner burnt my stromboli. Figured I'd give them a second chance at making a stromboli and the manager had her shot...and was rewarded with a raw stromboli! So the take away is it's either burnt or raw? I miss the original Rocco's pizza!!“

“What happened? Always bragged about your pizza...my take home salad was fantastic! The Mamas and Crispino pizza was almost uneatable...the grease was literally dripping off the spatula used to serve the pizza...and the crust was HARD..could not cut it with a steak knife..and the balsamic vinegar was way overdone...this used to be a treat to get for dinner...I am so disappointed.“

“It was my first time last Friday.. A neighbor brought me. I had the jumbo stuffed shells. They were so good I could eat them again.The cesaer salad was also good. I cannot wait to bring my daughter and her friends. That sauce they make, CHEFS KISS DELISH!“

“Pork chop is on point, Salmon dominates your taste buds and Frenchy’s wings are on another level.Love the small town atmosphere and the service is so personable.I live in Starkey Ranch and this is my go to!I have 3 kids under 12 and they love it as well!“

“The app said the pizza would be ready in 20 mins, so I showed up at the indicated time to pick it up. I was told that it hadn't gone in the oven yet, and to come back in 15 mins. 20 mins later (almost 50 mins after it was ordered) it was finally ready. Only when I came back was I told that one of their ovens was down, which is why it took so long.“

“Had a long day at work and came here for dinner for the first time. This place puts love into its food I would highly recommend the stromboli this thing is massive I'm a big eater Amber was the waitress she was very attentive friendly a great low key spot atmosphere is clean food is amazing give it a try I'll definitely be coming back multiple times“

“Someone named Alaina gave this, and another restaurant I know to be excellent 1 star. Then she gave a fast food place 5 stars…. I’m only posting this review because I read her/his (unknown) review and then clicked on the picture to see if it had left reviews elsewhere. The above states my findings. In conclusion, if someone gives a fast food (processed garbage) place a review above 2 stars, their reviews for all legitimate restaurants should be banned. Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter.Sincerely,Homer Simpson as the Beer Baron.“

“As frequenters of the previous Positano’s, my husband and I were thrilled to hear that not only had the restaurant reopened, but that the new owners had kept many things the same! After reading some of the reviews, we were nervous, but decided to decide for ourselves and went for dinner Sunday around 8 PM. BTW, we really appreciate the extended hours!Teah at the bar took excellent care of us; her Manhattans were perfect, and we thoroughly enjoyed our bread, salad, and Veal Positano, which was served piping hot. We were able to chat a bit with the new owner and everyone around us seemed pleased as well. One thing that Teah mentioned to us is that although the menu offerings are very similar to what they were previously, the recipes are those of the new owner. While this makes sense to me, it may explain why some reviewers had differing opinions. As for us, we are already looking forward to our next visit!“

“First time going inside restaurant and it was very nicely decorated and loved the atmosphere with the Italian music. The service was phenomenal super friendly and accommodating. That first time impression was excellent. Food was delicious my Greek salad , cannolis and my husband’s pizza. Highly recommended.“
