PARENT'S WEEKEND ADVENTURE!!!…read more Let me start with we have had the pizza and calzones from this place with the kids and the food was Awesome!!! Check out my 1st review for details!!! This time we got to sit down and have a truly enjoyable Adult Italian Dinner!!! The Ambiance/Decor is old world Italian style and very comfortable. It takes you somewhere that makes you feel like the beach isn't less than a mile away. We love it!!! Oh my word the Food was so flavorful and worth every penny!!! Food to Value ration: WORTH EVERY PENNY!!! Yes I said it twice, lol!!! We ordered a reserve Chianti and Wifey LOVED IT!!! As an app, we got the Eggplant Rollatini and it did not disappoint. It was ooey gooey Great!!! We both upgraded to the Caesar Salad and I'm not sure how the house salad would have been, but the 2$ up charge was well worth it. Tasted way better than most Cesar salads at other establishments. We ordered our entrees from the Chef's Specialty menu. Wifey got the short rib ravioli. Portion size was good and taste was so fresh they tasted like they were made fresh when ordered!!! I got the Salmon dish and holy succulent Salmon. Cooked to perfection!!! The brandy risotto w/asparagus was a nice complement to the Salmon. We were so full we didn't even have desert, but we cannot wait to try the house made tiramisu next time!!! If you get the chance to try this place. Do yourselves a favor and stop in. We will always make this place a stop on our visits to the area!!! AS ALWAYS TRY IT FOR YOURSELF!!!

And if I order fries at a restaurant, unless I'm getting a happy meal, I don't wanna have to tear open little ketchup packets. This place really is just a diner disguised as an Italian restaurant. When the waitress asked how's my "sammidge" that kind of said it all.

The restaurant has a cozy atmosphere and offers outdoor seating by the water. The service was extremely fast and our waiter was quick to give us recommendations on the menu. We started with the garlic cheese bread with marinara and then ordered the special Seafood Linguine and the Cacio e Pepe with shrimp. Both entrees were accompanied by house salads. The flavors absolutely melted in your mouth and the seafood was cooked to perfection! We did not save room for dessert but everything looked and sounded amazing. You can't go wrong ordering anything on the menu. This is a classic Italian place and hits every mark!

I have walked past Giuseppe's multiple times and finally decided to walk in and have dinner there…read more The dining area is on the smaller side but there was no wait. If you come with a large crowd, it may be a tight fit. The waitress was fantastic. She was very nice and made sure each table was happy. My husband and I shared the Caesar salad and a cheese pizza. We loved the food. We also didn't have to wait that long for it either. Giuseppe's is the perfect place to get dinner if you are looking for something that is not seafood (something St. Pete is isn't short of)

The decor was cool but people are packed in there like sardines. Our service was great which was a nice surprise with the number of people there and the number of people waiting. We were lucky because we were a party of two. I had French onion soup, which was good. However, the pizza was absolutely fabulous! My husband had the meatballs and ziti and said it was really good. I would be getting pizza there all the time if I lived in the area!

Dropping my review by a star after our last meal here. My friends shared the $43 lamb ragu special…read more& they were disappointed. There was very little lamb in the dish (see pic) & because of that, they did not even finish it. My husband & I shared the "lasagna". It's not lasagna; it's lasagna noodles with a tiny amount of cheese & all meat sauce. It was delish but it you are looking for lasagna, this isn't it. Service was great. Enjoyed our drinks except for the cucumber martini. Wow - what a find! This lovely place is split into 2. The trattoria is mainly indoor dining & a small bar & next door is their "Veranda" restaurant w/limited indoor tables & mostly outdoor tables w/live music. The Veranda section doesn't take reservations & looks lovely. Our reservation was at the Trattoria. We enjoyed drinks first - I really liked the blueberry martini w/out sugar. My husband had wine & my friend loved the strawberry martini. We ordered the full loaf of bread & it was great with the fabulous dipping oil. For dinners we had: linguini w/clams, lasagna, chicken marsala, & bolognese. We all loved our dinners & all brought food home. We ended with a tiramasu. Great place, nicely decorated, romantic, & our waitress was wonderful!

I picked up my pizza and had my inside countertop flat top grill ready for the perfect finishing…read moretouch. I called Tedie and asked her to turn it up all the way because I was only 12 minutes away and wanted it blazing hot when I got home. When I walked in the door, I placed that fresh pizza slice right on the piping hot flat top. Just 3 minutes later, the bottom was perfectly crispy and crunchy while the toppings stayed delicious. We did it two more times each, and every slice came out just as amazing as the first. That countertop flat top is truly a wonderful piece of equipment for reheating pizza. It brings the crust back to life by heating the bottom directly and creating that restaurant-quality crunch you just can't get from a microwave or a regular oven. And the pizza itself -- DeRusso's absolutely delivered! The pepperoni, mushrooms, and onions were packed with flavor, and every ingredient came together perfectly. The crust, toppings, and overall taste show the care and quality that goes into every pizza. Keep doing what you do, DeRusso's! The flavor, the craftsmanship, and the attention to detail are why this pizza is so enjoyable.

I have to say, Gianni's is definitely one of the best NY style pizza spots I've found. The slices were fresh, flavorful, and had that perfect New York-style crust.

We ordered takeout this time, but the restaurant had such a welcoming atmosphere that we're already planning to come back and eat on the patio next visit. Even inside, the fish tank and cozy vibe made it feel like somewhere you'd want to linger. Beach days and great pizza are the perfect combo, and this place absolutely delivered. 10/10, we'll definitely be back.

I am overdue to write a 5 star review of our favorite, local Italian restaurant, Tony & Nello's!…read more My wife and I live close by and dine here frequently. More importantly, the quality is such that we frequently bring our house guests here for dinner and they constantly love the experience. The entire wait staff have been with the restaurant for a long time and are all very service oriented and friendly. The portions are HUGE! Warning - we routinely get 3 servings out of a single dish, so order accordingly ;-D Their Pizza is amazing and the Chicken/Veal Parmesan is a consistent winner. We also love the Scampi & Pasta dishes. The Sausage and Peppers appetizers is a particular standout and the bread that accompanies the meals is simply amazing! If you are anywhere near Tierra Verde, do yourself a favor and break bread at Tony & Nello's - you'll become a return customer too!

The stand out was the roasted pepper bruschetta, best appetizer I've had in a very long time. It was massive and would make a great meal for 2, with side salads.
