    Ragu Al Bolognese (Meat Sauce)
    Jon L.

    Our kids favorite, our friends favorite great for date night or for the whole family! Real deal Neapolitan style pizzas and homemade pastas steal the show but do NOT miss out on the burrata app it's like 3 in 1! Bruschetta , mortadella and caprese. Of course the cheese wheel table side with pasta is a spectacle but all the pastas are delicious and cooked perfectly and made from scratch every day. Fun Italian sodas and great tiramisu and cannolis are must. Family run with friendly service. (Visit family in Italy during summer so check to make sure open) Only downside is dinner only....

    Sausage Penne Alla Vodka

    Found this gem looking specifically for the type of pasta swirled in a cheese wheel. And I absolutely loved it! I had the the basic cheese wheel pasta that is homemade wide fettuccine noodles, topped with fresh cracked pepper and i included the shrimp. My pasta was tender, cheesy, and amazing. The shrimp were huge and cooked absolutely perfect. Husband had Sausage Penne Vodka. I thought it tasted great but he was a "meh". He said the Sausage could have been more pronounced. The restaurant is a cute little place and unfortunately the location makes fir difficult parking. The staff seems nice. I hope to try pizza and other items in the future.

    We came close to closing but were greeted with welcoming smile. Our pregnant friend joined even later and she was still welcomed and serviced like family. The cheese wheel pasta was out of this world. Add the shrimps, delicious!

    Love love love this new-ish pasta place. Authentic Italian owned. Oh they also have incredible pizzas. All handmade pastas in house. I had the ragu, it was great. The pesto burrata pasta that my friend ordered looked incredible, photos next time! Service was good, that guy was real funny. Cozy lil restaurant, not super busy during dinner time.

    I heard about this restaurant from a colleague who highly recommended it -- if anything I think he undersold it! The food was amazing -- authentic and hand made. The service was fast and personal. It is like a little taste of Italy in Clearwater and I will be back with friends and family!

    Since our first review, we have eaten here 3 more times. All have been fantastic. Between sitting down and take out- the food is A+++. The service was quick so everything tasted great! Very friendly staff. The interior has a lot of seating inside and out. They are good for groups and larger parties. They are BYOW (Wine) if you would like a glass with your meal. Overall, we will be going back often great new pasta & pizza place!

    How do I even start? This special little eatery has truly found a special place in my heart. We have tried pizza literally all across the country, and the world, and this is the BEST pizza in the United States. We are so lucky to have this amazing restaurant right here in Clearwater. We love a pizza with a soft, squishy, and chewy crust, and theirs is exactly that. Their food is so amazing that they should always have a line out the door! This has become our new favorite spot to take friends. It is very affordable and provides lovely outdoor seating downtown. It is very accessible and convenient with street parking right out front. You can tell all of their food is made with love. It is family owned, and they import a lot of their ingredients. The flour they use makes a huge difference. Their pizzas are true Neapolitan style with chewy crusts and soft dough. Their pasta is very fresh and delicately seasoned, showcasing their quality ingredients. This might sound weird, but their water is AMAZING. Every time we go, we drink four whole bottles. Whatever way they are filtering it, it is awesome. I highly recommend their whipped ricotta dish, as well. It is sweet, subtle, and quite refreshing. The Cheese Wheel is such a special place that deserves so much more recognition. I could go on and on about this place. Wow. Just wow!!! Absolutely amazing service. We feel like a part of their family when we eat here. Every dish is made with love. You MUST check out this restaurant, you will not be disappointed.

    Found this restaurant by mistake ( obviously a good one) downtown Clearwater. We went the Sunday after Christmas ( 12/28/25). We had an awesome meal. Shared the Prosciutto E Rucola pizza ( mozzarella, cherry tomatoes, arugula and prosciutto) was light , crunchy and delicious. From there we had the cheese wheel pasta again an amazing meal. This is a small very friendly restaurant, staff (family) , chef / owner very pleasant, friendly and personable. Price range is good ( reasonable) . The owner is originally from New Jersey but relocated down here.. so yes it is locally sourced and run. Kudos to the Cheese Wheel Pasta & Pizza Restaurant. Keep up the amazing cooking.

    New restaurant in Clearwater. No liquor license yet but the food was fresh and amazing! The owner, Tony I believe, was our server and tableside pasta guy. He was humble and attentive. The restaurant was clean and quaint. I loved the bottles of water the left on the table and the TVs of Rome. I really hope this place thrives. Fresh pasta made daily, fresh pizza dough. Amazing food at great prices. Just go go go!!

    Cheese Wheel Pasta and Pizza.... Absolutely phenomenal & a hidden gem located on Cleveland St. The appetizers of the Whipped Ricota drizzled with honey, lemon and herbs with the homemade bread was very tasty as were the baked shrimp with olive oil, butter and just a touch of chili flakes. The cheese wheel pasta is made with homemade fettuccine swirled, piping hot, into a big old wheel of cheese. The ragu bolognese was definitely my favorite --very flavorful! Also--had the brick oven pizza was a delicious pie on homemade crust made in the fanciest pizza oven I've ever seen. The Tiramisu was a lovely way to wrap up the meal. Clearwater still has not issued their liquor license (it's been 6 months) but you can bring your own wine...and you must bring your cork screw. Beer also. No corkage fee!! Best ever! Elvis and his family are so wonderful and charming, and make sure your every culinary need is met. They are open 5 pm until 9 pm Tuesday through Sunday. Oh...the prices are incredibly inexpensive for all the fresh fixings!

    Delicious Cheese Wheel Pasta
    A P.

    Amazing homemade pasta and sauce! We are from New York and this restaurant is indeed a wonderful find! Try the homemade bread with delicious oil, spaghetti and meatballs, pasta bolognese and don't forget the tiramisu! Delightful staff and fast service. If you are in Clearwater, you must stop here!

    The most amazing pasta

    I have been to Italy 9 times and this is the most authentic Italian meal I have had in the states! The pasta is homemade throughout the day, pizza is delectable and perfect with fresh ingredients, the meatballs are mouthwatering with every bite. Don't come here to rush a meal, true Italian meals are to relax, enjoy and take in the family that takes such pride in their food and the people that come to enjoy it! And try to save room for dessert! The lemon cake, cannolis and tiramisu will melt in your mouth! Bravo!

    Hidden gem! Owner is great! My wife and I had the best experience. The pizza was on point Naples style fresh arugula and prosciutto. Meatballs solid with a nice tomato sauce. We went for the pasta in the parm wheel was flavorful and very good. We did byob vino. His prices are on point not gauging at all for a great meal. His bread is homemade he told me he gets all his flour from Italy and he filter the water to get it right. He hit a home run in my book! I'm from Chicago and Italian and he mastered his craft in south Florida. I wish this place all the best and say get here before he starts raising his prices because he has a good thing going and I would! lol bottom line check it out... it's good!

    I was in Clearwater with my wife for a little getaway weekend for our anniversary and one evening…read morewe decided we weren't too hungry, so we started looking for decently rated pizza places, and we were tickled to find Alba Pizza & Cafe. Why were we tickled? Well, Alba is our last name, so we had to try it. It was about a mile and a half walk from our hotel and it was a nice evening so we took the walk. The area around the cafe is dark and relatively quiet, just off the beaten path a bit. The cafe is built into an old house it seems and there is no inside seating. We walked in and met two people, one was the owner and the other was taking our order. We waited outside for our pizza and in about 12 minutes, the owner brought it out. We asked how they came up with the name of the restaurant and he said it is because the family is Albanian, and he seemed to get just as big a kick out of us sharing the same name as the cafe as we did. I wish they sold t-shirts, but hopefully that happens soon. This is not any kind of bias, but I am happy to report that the pizza is outstanding! I'm originally from NY, so I'm a little picky about my pizza and I prefer a Brooklyn style- thin crust, and a little on the crispy side. This pizza was cooked perfectly! The crust was perfectly crisp, but not charred, the sauce was delicious and the cheese was terrific and the best part is the pizza was perfectly balanced. So many places put way too much cheese or sauce on their pizzas, but not Alba, they do it right! I had meatballs on my half of the pizza and they were excellent. I was pleased to learn that Alba has another location in Tampa, and the sister of the Clearwater location's owner runs that one, so we're going to stop in there one of these days as we live about 40 minutes away. To the gentleman who yelled across the street "Best pizza in Clearwater!" when we were about to walk in to Alba, I say: Thank you, and you are right! Alba would also be the best pizza (by far) in Palmetto if they ever wanted to open a location there. Haha. Thanks so much to the staff at Alba, you all are very friendly, and we enjoyed the conversation and the great pizza. We will surely see you again one day soon. Let us know if you ever get any t-shirts in, please.

I placed the order through DoorDash and after the app said it would be ready in 25 min it then updated 20 min later to add another 45 min. When I arrived they looked dead. I spoke with someone who said they also had been waiting forever for their order. I finally received my pizza and was highly disappointed. No crunch, had an off taste to sauce, lacked pepperoni. Was a mix of doughy and chewy. Very disappointed.

We were told they were nominated for Best Breakfast, and I can confidently say it is **100% well deserved**. I absolutely love everything about this place--from the beautiful decor and friendly atmosphere to the incredible staff, huge selection of food, and, most importantly, the quality of everything we've ordered. Everything is made to order and absolutely delicious. From breakfast to lunch to dinner, every meal has been excellent! We were especially lucky to have been taken care of by some truly wonderful people. Travis served us on our first night and immediately made us feel comfortable and right at home. He was incredibly friendly and gave us some fantastic food recommendations. Sarah was also amazing and went above and beyond to make sure everything was exactly to our liking. Isabel was another wonderful server who made our experience even more enjoyable. **Briana and Dave were also fantastic and provided such great service, making each visit even more enjoyable.** And we can't forget Robert over at the Bloody Mary bar! He made my husband and me some of the most delicious Bloody Marys, piled HIGH with incredible bites like grilled cheese, fried chicken, and bacon. They were almost a meal in themselves! As far as must-tries go, you **have to** try the Cinnamon Bun French Toast, any of their omelets, the burgers, the Blackened Grilled Chicken Bacon Swiss & Ranch sandwich, the Cuban, the Southwest Egg Rolls, and of course, their amazing French fries. If you're staying at Sandpearl or anywhere in the area, **do yourself a favor and stop at Clear Sky Café.** The food, service, atmosphere, and people make this place truly special. We're already looking forward to coming back!

Great service. Based on the amount of people siting at tables, the patio, and the bar, we knew it was well loved and it is definitely deserving of the crowd.

Highly recommend.

The two servers are always professional, but down to earth and friendly. If I drop my pizza on the floor- YES I did. She laughed and replaced it at no charge.

This was clearly a vestigial pizza joint.

Truthfully I was way too gentle with this place when I first reviewed it, so I'm here to rectify that before I leave this review be for good. The "pizza" I had here, if you can call it that, in 2024 was an over-glorified ritz cracker with cheese and tomato sauce...Absolutely no flavor, no substance, and it went down like a rock; I had gas station oven pizzas that tasted better than this. So little to say but so telling at the same time...The owners really had no pride in what they were doing at all to the point that they were borderline catatonic, and the entire place was in disrepair when I last visited it; Nothing was organized, wires were hanging out, and it was just straight up a rundown eating environment, which is a far cry from when it used to have outdoor seating reserved for its place. All of it was really offputting. Captain's Pizza was a shipwreck of its own doing and it was honestly time to abandon ship, just to keep it in tune with the theme.
