    Tiramisu
    Michael B.

    Giovanni's restaurant was five stars plus The people were super nice, including Jennifer at the bar and Bella, our server, as well as John the owner. The food was great, as described below further, and the prices were also really good. For starters, we had the meatball flight, which was three large meatballs with different sauces in separate bowls. A marinara sauce, a vodka sauce, and a marinara with ricotta cheese. This was perfect for three people since each of us had one meatball. We also ordered some bread so we could dip the bread in the sauces. We also ordered the crispy brussel sprouts, which were very tasty and a very good portion for sharing for three people. For entrées, we all ordered pasta. One of us had the pear and Gorgonzola ravioli, which is one of their most popular dishes. It was so good that she had one piece of ravioli left, and she wanted to take it home. I had the pasta of the day, which had anchovies included as a main element, and my wife had the pappardelle bolognese The portions were huge and we will have another meal today from our leftovers The dessert was also great. We ordered the tiramisu which came in a large martini glass, and was plenty for the three of us to share. I can't overstate the value we got in addition to the great food and service. The pasta dishes were $25 and they include a salad or soup. The Caesar salad was excellent as well as the minestrone soup. The house wine was $10. For a white wine, I recommend the Chardonnay, and red wine the Valpolicella. The other white wines I tasted were not very good. The place was packed on a Sunday night so I strongly suggest reservations.

    This is our new favorite local Italian restaurant! I am so happy they reopened. The pasta is amazing, we love the meatball flight and the desserts are absolutely amazing!! The restaurant is really cute but still relaxing for the family on a Friday night after work. The service is very friendly! We become regulars very soon. This is honestly the best Italian I have had in pinellas county.

    Papardeli Bolognese and Pear and Gouda ravioli!

    This place is a breath of fresh air! Coming from Chicago it's tough to find places this good! Food was A+! Great atmosphere and the owner Giovanni is a gem! He literally walked out the door of the restaurant after we left to day goodbye! So nice! We will be coming back as regulars.

    Wow wow wow! I had the best dinner here last night. I could tell from the minute we sat down that we were in for a treat. Everything is made from scratch, starting with the bread that they bring out. We talked with the server Alana who was super sweet and she told us all about the family business. Then came the food, and it was some of the best Italian food we have ever had. You could immediately tell everything was scratch made, from the sauce all the way down to the spaghetti. Great food, great service, and an overall great experience. I can't wait to go back.

    Comfortable and inviting!

I was lured in by their recent postings on Facebook highlighting some dishes after a revamped menu, so my mom & I stopped in for dinner on a Thursday evening and had a wonderful meal. It was rather quiet inside; just us and two other tables at 5:30, and by the time we left only two more parties had come in. But people need to give this gem more attention! My mom & I split the burrata appetizer; it was so fresh and flavorful that we agreed it's the go-to app going forward for us. I then opted for the steak dish for my entree which was perfectly cooked, had a great sauce, and was loaded with delicious sides. The portions were a great size; unfortunately we didn't have room for dessert but we absolutely left with full, happy bellies. Our server was perfectly attentive and gave great recommendations. Again it wasn't super busy that night so we had no issues with timing anything, and he was very knowledgeable about the menu. Since this is a more upscale meal (with the prices reflecting that without being astronomical), I'm not sure I can make this a monthly go-to, but it's definitely a new favorite for a special night out.

They are so deliciously fabulous OuiOui. He makes a small square one & a large size heart shaped one. We adore the Heart shaped ones. We adore him, we just completely adore Little Gyro. We "heart you" Little Gyro OuiOui. All of his dishes are fabulous, have a french inspired twist. He even plays all French music in the cafe, which I adore & brews freshly made ice tea, which is also fabulous OuiOui. His Gyro is not your typical Gyro. It has the most fabulous lemony yogurt sauce that he makes himself. It's 2.Die.4! He even puts little chopped up pieces of pepperchini peppers on them, again, which I adore OuiOui. It's my most favorite Gyro on the planet. But that's not all he makes that is moi most favorite on the planet. His Greek Philly cheesesteak is also moi most favorite on the planet. I'm not sure why he calls it a Greek Philly, it should be called a French Philly cheesesteak. It's completely divine on the softest French roll. A MUST ORDER OuiOui. All my photos were on my old phone that blew up. I am just catching up loading lots mores. Lots & lots mores from Little Gyro. Added to moi lists of fave restaurants in the Tampa & St. Petersburg area. La vie en rose baby. OuiOui. Highest Recommendations.

We sat outside at the bar and really enjoyed chatting with the bartenders--Dillon and Clyde were fantastic. They made great recommendations and were very attentive.

On the positive side, parking was readily available, and the hostess team was very polite and gracious. He kindly sat us inside to escape the heat, and we really enjoyed the cool atmosphere and Hawaii-inspired decor. However, we encountered several issues during our visit: - The Table: We were seated at a very wobbly table and had to use napkins to stabilize it ourselves. - The Service: Our waitress was quite slow. Additionally, when explaining the drink options, she explicitly advised us against ordering the Navy Grog on the list, stating that it tasted like ship water. - The Drinks: Based on the celebration, we decided to split the "South Seas Pearl." We found the drink to be overwhelming, and given the premium price tag, we expected the quality to better match the cost. I wanted to bring these matters to your attention in the hope that they can be addressed for future guests.
