But once checked in everything went well. We were a party of 13 after the Gasparilla Children's Parade. We were starving so no pictures. My husband had the Pork Chop Capricicosa, it was perfectly cooked and delicious. I had the the linguine carbonara, it was one of the best I've had, the pasta was crunchy cooked right, nice amount of pancetta, really top notch. We had 6 children with us, that had salmon, spaghetti and meatballs and the pizza. They all were teenager and preteen approved. The chicken parm and gnocchi bolognese were nice portions and the chicken was pounded thin and crispy with just the right amount of sauce and cheese. The bolognese was savory and a touch sweet. Truly the meals were wonderful. They are only beer and wine, and both are limited choices. We had the limoncello cake and chocolate mousse cake, they were just the right amount. The staff, our servers, and the customer service was on point. They were gracious and flexible with our orders. I highly recommend

I only ordered it because it was the special and my brain was over making decisions for the day. They have something special, and I don't think I've had a better scampi outside of Italy. It was that good. Our table also had the calamari, fried mozzarella, and lasagna. Everything was made to order and you can taste the quality and authenticity in every bite. The location was busy but the service was spot on. They had workers walking around, cleaning, and checking on guests. Even the manager was on the floor and very present. That speaks to their commitment to providing a solid dining experience. The decor did seem a little cluttered, but the speed to which we received our food had us in and out, so we weren't affected by the environment too much. Overall, I've found my new Italian spot in Riverview. I'll eventually go every day of the week to try all their specials. That's how lasting my first experience was.

It makes the ambiance hard to enjoy when you're the only ones in a restaurant, but I will say there were a lot of takeout orders being picked up. The food was delicious though, very affordable, and everything freshly prepared by what looks to be one chef; which he definitely knows what he is doing. I ordered a breaded filet mignon and while it didn't taste like filet, it was very good and flavored nicely. Tiramisu was delicious but I think every restaurant should skip the cheap Hershey's chocolate sauce drizzle and do nothing instead of that option. Best thing in my opinion was the fresh Italian bread and the kids Mac and cheese! Overall, I would come back but more for like a casual dinner instead of a celebratory occasion. I'd say a high 3.75 stars, rounded to 4.

The lasagna was not on the menu, but it was featured as one of the specials. It was homemade and phenomenal. I think it's the best I've had. I've been to Italy and this place is on par with authentic Italian food. Not overly salted or masked with pungent fake ingredients. It was clearly fresh and homemade! I had the Tiramisu and cappuccino and it was next level. Loved it!! I hope I came back here next time I'm in Tampa!!

Oooof, I don't often give out 1 star reviews, but come on this place is Fazoli's marketed as some…read moreupscale Italian eatery. Talk about a huge disappointment. This restaurant is only open on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from 5-10pm. I have no idea how they make it. Now, the inside is super duper tiny. The second you walk in you almost run over the hostess stand. Then, there's maybe 10 tables inside. Up first they bring you free bread. The bread isn't homemade, and tastes like the same bread you can get at a thousand other Italian restaurants. I tried the $8.50 bruschetta. It is a monster portion. However, it's just regular bread with regular tomatoes on top. No special spices, no special ingredients. Very plain and boring. For my entree, I had half Linguine al Pesto and half Penne alla Rustica. Oooooof again. The linguine pesto was watery. I could barely even taste the pesto. It was like swallowing wet noodles plain. Maybe the worst pesto dish I've ever had, and I love pesto. The penne was better, but once again it didn't taste any different that one you'd order from Fazoli's. Overall, underwhelming. The pasta tastes straight out of a box from Publix. No cocktails here. The only positive is that portion sizes are huge. I think a half size is plenty for most people. Also, there is some good people watching if you can sit at a table in the window. I won't be back.
