    Oggi Italian is truly one of the best date spots on Davis Islands. It honestly makes you feel like you've been transported to Italy, from the cozy aesthetic of the restaurant to the charming wine window next door and their great happy hour. The service is warm and attentive, and every menu item that comes out looks so thoughtfully prepared. We ordered the pesto gnocchi to split between the two of us and were absolutely stuffed--in the best way possible. Between the atmosphere, the food, and the whole vibe, it's easily one of my favorites and a place I'll keep coming back to for date night.

    I am always a bit skeptical about Italian restaurant reviews simply because it's hard to ruin a pizza! But this place???!!! BEYOND expectations!! The food was absolutely delicious and pricing and serving size were more than fair!! Service was outstanding-I cannot say enough good things about this place!! Do yourself favor and ...GO!! You won't be sorry!!

    Service was incredible and the whole vibe of the restaurant felt like getting a piece of Italy in Tampa. The only drawback was the food was just alright and felt very overpriced. It was nothing special and came out a little cold. The tiramisu however was good. I would definitely come back for drinks and dessert but would hold off on food.

    Our go to Italian spot. Girls night. Date night. Celebrating whatever. It's the perfect spot. Atmosphere is super cute and the wine bar is nice while you wait for your table. We always make reservations because seating is limited and they are always busy. The house salad is so good I usually get that and add protein but the pasta entrees are always good as well. The super Tuscan is my favorite wine and we always do the carafe for $25! Couldn't recommend this spot more. We usually come at least once a month just about.

    A new place added to my favorites! Oggi is such a cute concept located in Davis Island. From the moment our party arrived I felt well taken care of. It was my birthday so I wanted to ensure I felt extra special. Our waiter was great and he had great suggestions for food and drinks. Majority of my group ordered the same thing, but collectively we had the Pepperoni Flatbread, Shrimp Caesar Salad, Chicken Rigatoni, and Shrimp Diavolo. Not pictured is the Shrimp Scampi. No notes from anyone in our party, everything was delicious!! My dish specifically (chicken rigatoni) was well seasoned, creamy and cheesy...all in all an amazing dish. Also not pictured was their yummy tiramisu as my complimentary birthday dish. Definitely will go back :)

    I went with a friend to have some wine and food. The place is very cute and feels authentic i really liked the small outdoor area, very cozy and nice for a chill night. We ordered the cheese board, which was good and perfect to share with wine. Then we tried the lasagna It looked great and the portion was big, but the flavor was just ok and inside it was cold which I didn't like. The best part was the vibe, The little bar next door has a little window where you can order some drinks that was a cool touch! Overall, The place is lovely but the food could be better.

    The service was amazing. Everyone was as very nice and helpful and we really had a great experience. The restaurant was very chill and there were other parties, but we had an amazing time. The food was really good. Everyone really enjoyed everything. There were some comments about the scampi just being okay but that person would go back and try something ely

    Best Italian food I've had in Tampa! I've been to the wine window attached to Oggi countless times and always enjoy the atmosphere there. It makes me feel like I'm back in Florence! This was my first time trying out the actual restaurant and now I'm hooked. They even allowed us to get up from the table to order wine from the window just for the experience! We were served the tastiest crostini before our meal. For the main course, I ordered alfredo with crispy chicken. It's one of the best I've had in my life, I swear. Oggi, I'm sorry for taking so long to try you out. You've got a new favorite customer!

    Had a really enjoyable dinner at Oggi Italian on Davis Island. The waitress was very nice and attentive. The food was delicious! Entrées come with a salad and an espresso which i think was a nice touch. Complementary bruschetta at the beginning of your experience. Cute vibe for date night and other occasions. Would recommend trying the eggplant meatballs - our favorite of the night!

    Made a reservation to have dinner here to experience their Italian inspired atmosphere and wine window. The restaurant is adorable and very charming. With that being said it is most definitely an influencer attraction, there were many people filming and taking photos so just be sure to expect that when you go. The wine window although very cute, was covered in ants and very sticky! I ordered a lavender lemon drop which was way too sweet for my liking, I ended up sending it back, but the wine flight was very tasty with generous portions. For my meal I had the chicken rigatoni which was also very sweet??? I would go again but probably just order something different.

    I love Oggi. Everything is outstanding from the location to the food to the service right back to the ambiance. 100% a great date night spot if you're looking for Italian, surely to wow your date. I liked how each meal ends with an authentic Italian espresso already included in the price of the entree. I highly recommend the spaghetti and meatballs! Meatballs were massive and crispy on the outside but still moist in the inside. I will say again and again, I love Oggi!

    I made a reservation in advance because this place is pretty crowded. The vibes are cute I thought it was a little bit over priced but the food and service and food were good. I loved that they gave you espresso at the end of the meal.

    Our server Mason was amazing! Give that man a raise! Food was delicious. Service was attentive and items arrived in a timely manner. Drinks stayed full. Bathroom was clean. The water smelled of sulfur which gave the restroom a distinct aroma ... Had 6:30p reservations on a Friday night. Plenty of seating inside and out. Will def return in the future.

From the moment we walked in, Taylor and the team made every person at our table feel like the only guests in the room. The service was flawless, attentive without being intrusive, and the kind of hospitality you simply cannot manufacture. Jenna coordinated the celebration and did an incredible job. When we sat down and saw the personalized birthday menu with Margit's name handwritten at the top, that was it. That is the moment a restaurant stops being a restaurant and becomes a memory. Thank you Jenna. The food was exceptional across the board. The Little Gem Salad was fresh and well composed. The Asparagus with confit artichoke was beautifully plated and tasted every bit as good as it looked. The Gnocchi with broccolini and trout roe was a standout. The cocktails were creative and well crafted, and the virgin mojito was executed perfectly. Rocca is now top 3 restaurants of my life. If you are planning something special for someone you love, do not overthink it. Call Jenna, ask for Taylor, and let Rocca do the rest. We will be back. Without question.

Service was excellent as expected from a place with this reputation and pricing. Our server was very attentive and made appropriate recommendations throughout. Ambiance was dark and intimate. An upscale atmosphere without being overly stuffy. A must try for a nicer night out, we went for our anniversary dinner and had a wonderful experience. Would definitely come back here again!

I have been visiting the 1905 restaurants and their family of brands for over 25 years. I've been to the Columbia so many times that I could probably draw you the layout from memory. That history and loyalty is exactly why yesterday's experience was so disappointing. Yesterday, we were celebrating my mother's 64th birthday, and I chose Casa Santo Stefano because of the superior service I've received in the past, the excellent quality of the food, and because my company,, typically books Casa Santo Stefano for events and has never given me reason to doubt the brand. Unfortunately, my experience with my family yesterday was more than disappointing. Valerio dropped the ball in so many ways at our table. We repeatedly went without water, at times for more than 10 minutes, and I was constantly looking around for him. My mother's Moscow Mule took approximately 20 minutes to arrive. When I jokingly asked if he had gone to Moscow to get it, he told me they "didn't have any cups." That was difficult to believe when the drink was clearly sitting there long enough for the cup to become heavily sweated and the ice to melt. I also began noticing that Valerio seemed far more attentive to a table of 10 young women who had just arrived. He was taking their photos, laughing with them and engaging with them, while our table was repeatedly forgotten. The situation with dessert was particularly upsetting because it was my mother's birthday. Valerio asked whether we had seen a dessert menu, and I told him we had not. As I got up to speak with the manager, a kids' ice cream dessert was brought to our table instead. We wanted to look at the dessert menu, order a few things, and have the restaurant sing Happy Birthday to my mother. That simple experience was completely missed, and it was something we had genuinely been looking forward to. On top of everything, the air conditioning was not functioning properly in the restaurant, which made an already uncomfortable experience even more difficult. I appreciate the manager Ty, giving my mother a box of cookies and a handwritten card from the staff as we were leaving. Unfortunately, by that point, the damage had already been done. What bothered me most was that Valerio never seemed to appreciate the significance of the occasion, never apologized for the repeated service issues, and ultimately dropped off the check and walked away. I simply do not understand how this happened, particularly on a day when the restaurant was not even especially busy. I believe Valerio needs additional training and guidance, particularly in the level of hospitality and attentiveness expected from a restaurant carrying the 1905 Family of Restaurants name. I want to emphasize that I am not writing this because I have turned my back on the brand. Quite the opposite. I am writing because I have been loyal to this brand for more than two decades, I genuinely believe in what the 1905 Family of Restaurants represents, and yesterday's experience fell so far below that standard that I feel compelled to say something. My mother's 64th birthday only happens once, and unfortunately, instead of leaving with another wonderful 1905 memory, we left disappointed. I sincerely hope this feedback is taken seriously, not simply as a complaint about one server, but as an opportunity to make sure another family celebrating an important occasion does not have the same experience.

The service was a little on the slower side, which we wouldn't mind as much if the gnats outside weren't eating us alive. They have fans, but the one table we sat at was where the fan didn't reach. So this is definitely a reservation-indoor seating spot for us next time unless they add another outdoor fan. This dampened our experience a bit, especially because we were excited about the outdoor seating.

From the awkwardness at checking in to the disappointment with the food, we leave dissatisfied which is unfortunate. The parking is tight but we were able to find a spot. Walked in and nobody at the front so we waited and someone did come. Not really welcomed, just walked up and asked for our name. Gave our reservation name and time. We were a bit early. Told to hang at the bar until the table was ready. We just sat upfront. Made it to the table and seating was tight. I felt like I was in the conversation of the party next to us. Service was ok - server was polite and professional. Took our drink and food order but really didn't check back in on us frequently. The valentine menu included a starter, a soup or salad, a main entrée and a dessert per person. I ordered the artichoke dip as my starter, tomato soup, the blackened mahi and for dessert, the chocolate mousse cake. Artichoke dip was the winner of the evening. It was very good and plentiful so we actually boxed and took home to enjoy. The tomato soup came out next and was so salty that it was not edible. The soup and the artichoke dip sat on the table for a while before the waitress came over to check in on us. When she did come over we advised we wanted the artichoke dip boxed, but the tomato soup was overly salty, like the container of salt fell into the soup. The individuals at the table next to us agreed that the soup was not able to be eaten due to the salt level, the server basically apologized and said there was nothing that they could do given it was a set menu, which was very disappointing that they did nothing to either resolve the issue or offer a salad in place of the soup give we could not eat the salad. Since the meal was prepaid, they should've done something to fix, but the messaging was basically like oh you're SOL. Like I took your money now deal with it. On to the mahi -- it was supposed to be served over coconut lime rice however it was more like a firm block of mushy porridge. Like the rice, maybe had been sitting in water or something all day not sure but it was gross and it had no flavor. The fish was also overcooked because it wasn't flaky and I think that it lacked flavor as well. I ended up boxing it and not even eating it whenever we got home. I think the trash can enjoyed it more than I did. We were full and basically over the experience so we got our desserts to go. Hubs ordered the poundcake and I ordered the chocolate mousse cake. Got home, put everything in the fridge except for the desserts, sat down on the couch to enjoy our desserts and mine was missing!! I had a takeout container that had the whipped cream and a little thing of chocolate mousse in it but no cake. WTHeck man!? It was icing on the cake or the cherry on top for the evening we experienced at this point. Let's just say that based on all the reviews for this place, we expected better and were quite disappointed. Especially for the cost of the prefix menu. I truly believe that a higher quality should've been had given this was one of the busiest days of the year to win people over.

    Finally got to try Forbici this weekend and it did not disappoint! Saturday night was very busy and…read morethe wait was over an hour but thankfully they had a table for 2 that did not show up so we got right in!! The restaurant is loud and lively due to it being so busy! They have a a great cocktail menu with Italian spritz and rotating specials. For appetizers we did the buffalo chicken pizza which was so delicious!! They have a thin and thick crust pizzas, but this one only came in thick crust. For entrees we did the gnocchi and since they offer pasta half portions, I had the Cacio e Pepe and the rigatoni alla vodka! Both were delicious and that Cacio e Pepe was so creamy. Our server was nice and friendly. The cost for 2 honestly wasn't that bad. I loved all the food and will definitely be back!!

    Fungi- yummy. Perfect mushroom and truffle ratio. I just don't like how square pizzas are super…read moredoughy. I wish they made each flavor with the option or round of square because I'd rather have a fungi round. Vodka rigatoni- basic. I've had good vodka rigatonis and I added chicken ($6+) but that chicken was so plain and bland looking. Cup and char- infamous but idk why, not that special. L'amante cocktail- good..but inconsistent. My friend got the same drink but both of ours tasted different and were different colors even. Indoor space is kind of cramped if you ask me. And the outside has fans but they don't help cool at all. Bathrooms are clean however and the servers/hostess are really nice.

    Absolutely loved our experience at Brother Trattoria! We stopped in on a whim on a Saturday night…read moreand, while there wasn't any open table seating, we grabbed seats at the bar--and honestly, it worked out perfectly! The food was delicious, generous, and very filling. We especially loved the energy, atmosphere, and friendly service. Everyone was so welcoming and made us feel right at home. We'd definitely recommend making a reservation if you're planning to go, especially on a Saturday night. We'll absolutely be back!

    Went to an early dinner Thursday here and was happy to finally try. The restaurant is nice inside…read morewith wood and stone walls and dark tables that with the lighting give a welcoming vibe. We started off sharing a melanzane appetizer which is Eggplant stuffed with ricotta cheese and sweet basil then baked with tomato sauce. It was light, flavorful and a great start. We also shared a caesar salad which is up there as the best we have had anywhere. All came with table bread and a tasty dipping oil with seasoning. I felt the bread lacked salt but was still pretty good. Dinner was equally good. I went with a veal scallopini that was thin, tender and cooked perfectly. My wife had a pasta dish that had an incredible tasting cream sauce with peas, shallots and pancetta. Service was on point too! Overall a great place that we would go back to.
