Food was great! This was our first time going and we brought family who were in town visiting. It did not disappoint from the wine selection through the main courses to the Eggnog Creme Brulee to top it off. Service was excellent as well. Will definitely return.

Loved everything about this little place. Seemed like it was going to be a typical fast Italian food place, but boy was I wrong. Everything our server recommended was a homerun. My favorite was the Italian beer they had on hand. Birra Nazionale. Best beer in the world!Parking: Up and coming area with areas to park if you're there early on.Kid-friendliness: Lots of good options for the kids. They loved the meatballs.

The best Italian food I’ve had since being in Italy. Reminded me of being in Sorrento. All four entree were superb and the Carmel on the cheese cake was wonderful. This is definitely a place where we will be regulars.

The food was off the chain. Meatballs are excellent, the carbonara was the best I’ve had since I left Italy. Great place for true Italian food like you get in country.

The best authentic Italian food in St. Pete. If you’re not in a rush and can really take time to enjoy the service and food, this is for you. It’s not like a typical chain but more so a bottega like you’d find in Italy - an open floor plan, intimate space. If you’re looking for a typical American larger chain, this is probably not for you but definitely worth it if you enjoy great authentic Italian food.

When the owner himself is behind the bar helping his staff that’s when you know he pours his heart &soul into what he offers. This place is a perfect representation of Italy. Food had the utmost flavor and the presentation was lovely. Would dine here over and over.

Amazing dinner experience! Bar seating is my favorite and there just happened to be 2 seats at the bar when we walked in. Had a lovely conversation with the owner about Italian wine & history and his bottle recommendation was spot on. Bolognese is always my go to and the Lasagna Bolognese did not disappoint. Outstanding service, wine & culinary experience. High compliments to the owner & chef. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Will definitely be back often. ???

I tried to write the review but the draft was gone so I will try to be brief:1. Came with my girlfriend on Christmas holiday and no one serving us water. Few minutes later a server gave us menu but still no water. Around 10 minutes later finally water was here.2. Tried to use the bathroom but the toilet didn’t flush. Can you imagine how embarrassing that was. A lady was waiting out of the bathroom and I had to informed her of the situation. I told to the staff then and they were aware of this issue, seems common, not fixed yet.3. The food is no good. I don’t know why it has so many positive comments. Maybe chef changed. We are not picky guys and there are a lot of good food in St Pete and Tampa. Not this one. I ordered the Lobster Ravioli and it tasted worse than the college dining halls. Literally worst pasta I ever had. And we wait 20+ mins for the food. And it costs $36 if I remember correctly.4. We want to leave and it takes 10+ minutes to get our check. There is not a lot of guests here. I don’t what the servers were doing. Besides, no one asked us about the food. No surprise huh, they knew well how bad their food tastes.It ruined my day.

Fabulous! Thank you for taking me back to Italy, even if only for the night. Everything was so delicious.
What a wonderful dining experience. Every one of us enjoyed our dish so much that we each cleaned our plates! The lasagna was fabulous and their sauce is out of this world! Others at the table had spaghetti with marinara, ravioli with a giant meatball, and the daily special red snapper in a white wine sauce with capers. I will definitely be back. Thank you so much for an unforgettable evening! Your kindness is very much appreciated.

Benjamin is also the best server anywhere also.The food is always impeccable every single time we go. Tgh e hospitality is unmatched and has been so kind. 10/10
Wow what a great place! Great service by Ben, sat next to a great family and iI can not say enough about the food and atmosphere! 10++++++ I'm an I-TALIAN FROM BROOKLYN! SO LISTEN UP!!!!! Took my date, and found out it is a GREAT PLACE for that. Quaint not overly quiet but a great place to talk unawkwardly! You will look like the smartest guy on Earth taking her to a great restaurant like this!

Ordered riggies and spaghetti, did not like the riggies it was just rigatoni with jalapeños and the chicken was tough. Spaghetti tasted bland and marinara sauce was nothing special. Bathroom was not clean and another customer had 4 dogs in the dining room running under our table ?
