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.

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.

I'm very conflicted writing this review to such a small business but I thought about it all night and I'm still annoyed with this experience. We decided to invite a few friends out for dinner (15 ppl is what we told the server but we only had 8 show) for pizza for dinner. Got to the restaurant and we're told they would seat us when everyone showed up...the tables were empty but ok...so we wait...tables still empty but were still waiting on 2 people. We tell the server were waiting on 2 people but that's it. She tells us THE MANAGER ISNT HERE SO IF THE REMAINDER OF THE 20 PEOPLE SHOW UP WE CANT ACCOMMODATE THEM. We are all confused at this point because what small business turns down business? There was PLENTY of seating for 20 people regardless if it was all one party or not. So we sit down...AT SEPARATE TABLES...and she says is this everyone in the party? At this point I'm pissed...we're hungry and we've already been told if we have more people show up they'll basically be turned away..so I say we are basically separate parties so can we just order...to which she got an attitude and said well y'all all came in together...I drop it because I don't want to embarrass my family and friends...the pizza comes and I won't lie it was great...but I won't return to this restaurant because it seems like if they have more than 8 people they can't handle it...I'm sorry but I'm sure the owner of this small business wouldn't be happy to hear that MONEY was going to be turned away! read more

Service was quick and easy but I strongly suggest not ordering online or thru the "order" option in Yelp, as the pizza price showed $35 instead of over the phone ordering at $25 for the same exact pizza/size. What we appreciated from this pizza was its nice overall crust, good sized/not too thick dough presence, and quality of the sauce / toppings. We got the Buc Slammer XL for $25. What we found is that the sauce was awesome, though a tad on the light side. Wish they would have put more as it's so flavorful with a little bit of kick to really come through. The sausage topping was delicious, and they did keep to their word with the extra cheese on this pizza. I do think since it had extra cheese and was so thick, it could have baked a couple more minutes to completely melt down but it was still pretty good. While the pepperoni and ham didn't shine at all, overall the pizza was elevated and had a 'real' pizza presence. So many times we've gotten pizza at different places only for it to flop or lack. This one didn't, pretty good presence. It was oily, but that's always the case with any meat pizza that have oily meats... goes with the territory and gets the napkin dab like any other meaty pizza. We are giving this a 4.6 stars, and wish we could have given it a full 5 stars but 2 of the toppings were so plain it hardly came through. So to answer the magic question, yes we'll be coming back to try another pizza variation... and maybe a couple of their other Italian menu offerings. Wondering if they use that same delicious sauce ;)
