    Every meal at Quality is filled with unique, quality, delicious ingredients. We have enjoyed so many wonderful meals here that we hosted a milestone birthday party here where we were able to enjoy the entire restaurant for ourselves.

    AMAZING! The chef was so friendly, chatted with every table and even sent a follow up thank you note from my open table reservation. The ragu alla bolognese was phenomenal as was the bread service and the house salad. Heck, even the Italian soda was amazing. This has been saved on my bookmarks forever so I'm glad I got to finally try this place. I will absolutely be back! Tiny and intimate so make a reservation so you don't miss out!!!

    Salad

    I almost don't want to say how good this is so it doesn't get too crowded. Came here with my brother, was amazing the chef and the waitress was amazing! They were so attentive. Love that the menu changes daily.

    If I could give this restaurant 15 stars, I would! Seriously, I don't think words can fully capture how superb our dining experience was. When we made the reservations on opentable, we had to book two separate tables, 30 minutes apart, for our group of eight. We didn't realize we could've just called to request seating together, but when we arrived, they immediately accommodated us. The chef kindly explained that our food might take a little longer since it was just him in the kitchen, but we didn't mind one bit. After the chef introduced himself, he selected wines for us based on our preferences, which truly set the tone for a memorable night. We started with this delicious pinsa bread, with some oil and vinegar to dip in, followed by appetizers where the mozzarella and burrata were out of this world. Then came a salad that we all assumed would go mostly untouched, but instead we devoured it and we all agreed we had never tasted a salad like that before. Simple, yet incredibly flavored. The main dishes were equally impressive--fresh, flavorful, and simply beyond description. We tried to order different pasta dishes, and tried a little bit from each other's. They were all great! And to say the service matched the quality of the food is an understatement. Our server (who I believe was the chef's partner?) was patient, attentive, and kind. She explained every dish we were interested in, and made accommodations for food intolerances and dietary restrictions. You can kinda tell she's more of an introverted person than her partner, but that didn't stop her from providing amazing and timely service. It was really a personal and tailored dinner. The chef also came out multiple times to explain dishes, share stories about sourcing ingredients (many directly from Europe), his background, future events at their restaurant, and even answer our random questions. Also, I should mention, the food didn't take as long as we thought it would, so he must've been cranking back there. To top it off, at the end of the night, he brought out a bottle of limoncello and took a shot with us. It was the perfect way to end an unexpectedly perfect dinner. And even though I was so full I couldn't leave without a dessert (to go) and a latte that tasted like I was back in Italy. Pure perfection. I would come back just for that. Honestly, I'm a bit ashamed to admit I was a skeptic when my husband first mentioned this place. We did stop by there a few weeks ago (earlier in the day) and was disappointed they were closed. I think I might've mentioned something along the lines of: "How great can that little spot be anyway?" Despite that, my husband made reservations because people recommended the place to us. Let's just say, I ate far more than my words last night, hehe! For context--not to brag-- but because we were in the military and now my husband loves traveling and dining out at the best-rated restaurants he can find in every city (he's a little boogie like that ), my family and I have traveled extensively and eaten o in a lot of great places. We recently visited a few countries in Europe, including Italy and France, and honestly those are the only places that truly compare in terms of food quality. Even so, the experience here was unique--something we haven't found in even the fanciest restaurants stateside. You can tell this is a labor of love, because with the cost of foods and especially imported ingredients, I don't see how they could be doing this for profit. If you're considering it--go. I hope your experience is as unforgettable as ours, because we will absolutely be coming back. A few tips for future guests: * For groups larger than four, call ahead so they can prepare and you can sit together. * Be patient and enjoy some wine or beer and appetizers while you wait--everything is cooked from scratch by one chef, but it's so worth the wait. * If you get cold easily, bring a light jacket. * Pace yourself--it's always better to take leftovers home than to miss out on dessert. * If you're sensitive to spicy foods, ask before ordering, as some of the dishes had a kick to them. I'm Mexican so for me the level of heat was perfect, but I know my husband wouldn't have been able to handle what I ordered. * The menu changes to some degree daily, so come with an open mind. * Sign up for their newsletter (bottom of their website) so you can stay updated on future events. * Most importantly, savor the experience. The chef explained to us when you make a reservation for dinner, the table is yours for the evening. So relax, sip some wine, and enjoy the kaleidoscope of flavors they serve with every course.

    Hidden in a strip center...pretty unassuming...trying new place for lunch.
    Liza Z.

    Small, unassuming place in a strip center. Only 4 tables of 4 for seating. Came in thinking it was a casual pizza shop and Italian market, but it was entirely different. Their market was more of an extensive craft beer shop with some wines and goods. We opted not to order pizza. Instead, we ordered off their menu (forgot to take a pic). To start, we had a bowl of their lobster bisque. It was an ample serving and thick and creamy initially, but as it cooled, it became more thinned out and liquid. The flavor was good, but there were no noticeable chunks of lobster, as you generally would expect. I've had better. We moved on to their caprese salad and bread. Now, this was tasty...fresh mozzarella, with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. It was accompanied by fresh herbs, and as a different take, a type of sun-dried tomatoes...which were sweet to the taste. Their house bread was crusty and also served with oil and balsamic vinegar. On to the main course, we opted for their ragu bolognese. The pasta was fresh and thick, and the sauce was meaty. It had just a subtle tomato flavor. The serving was ample, and I took home leftovers so I could save room for dessert....which turned out to be the pièce de rèsistance. We had initially asked for dessert to go, since we knew we were already full, but the waitress mistakenly brought it out on a plate and said she could bring a box for what we didn't fininsh...needless to say, we didn't need a box. It was a chocolatety, creamy piece of heaven that once we started eating, we just couldn't stop. Best I've had, and would return just for this...but, we will need to return to try their pizza, as it looked delicious, as well.

    High quality lovingly crafted Italian foods with ingredients imported fresh from Italy. Absolutely delicious and flavourful home made pastas, would highly recommend the pesto and salsiccia but everything we've had every time we've been has been spot on. The service is impeccable and personal with very attentive staff and the chef owner comes around to advise on what you're eating. This is actually what good food and service is Tampa Bay, stop wasting your money on average experiences at high prices. Don't expect pizza

    I have been to this place several time. If you in search for Italian product, this is your place. The store is part restaurant, part grocery and part wine store. They do carry good bottles of Italian wine. I like the rose wine here. The sandwich is decent here. I have couple of different sandwiches here. I have Cuban and European classic. Both sandwiches are tasty. They also have pizza that I have not try it. One thing for sure, the cold cut prosciutto is good here. I like to have a few cut and go with the rose. I got a bottle of Italian wine. It is good enough. They do have other Italian red. But I am interested on their rose. The store also has series of refrigerators that selling home made item. You should check it out.

    Time for some wine and food. Trying out some new items that may be on the new menu.
    Pietro M.

    The food is exquisite and worth a visit. Don't let the storefront dissuade you from visiting. The food is on par with 4-5 Star restaurants. You know, the ones that require a suit and tie, reservations months in advance, tipping the host:hostess to get higher up on the waitlist... we went on a night where they were trying out all new dishes and all you paid was what you thought the dish should be priced at. Obviously the wine was not part of that promotion but it was also delish. Even if you are not up for the wonderful dinners, their pizzas are also superb. The sauce is not acidic so you are able to enjoy all of the fresh toppings. Just try them out.

    A little unexpected and pleasantly surprised!!! This market/restaurant is definitely a hidden gem. The international and local wines, local beers of all sorts, imported foods and cheeses...basically an exotic atmosphere in my mind, was great. It's a lot to take in but the owners explained their products well and were very knowledgeable on the details of their liquor and wines and foods. The store is clean and brightly lit! They make pizza, Cuban sandwiches, other hoagies/subs, soups, smoke their own meats, dips/condiments! You can order a meal at lunch with w $4 glass of wine! Nice!!! :) There is a unisex bathroom! I look forward to coming back to order some corned beef and the smoked turkey! I was not disappointed! And they've definitely found a new patron!

    Mushroom flat bread
    Pam W.

    Food was excellent...Pesto Pasta, mushroom flat bread and salads. We will be back soon. We love that it's in our neighborhood.

    Proof that the owner Chris makes his own pizza from scratch.

    Went back after two months and ate the pizza... authentic Italian style, definitely not Pizza Hut. It was delicious. But the dessert... wow! The limoncello cake was super good but the pistachio cannolo was outstanding, highly recommended! Crispy, yummy and not overly sweet. Sorry no pics but, Treat yourself!

We stopped in on a Thursday evening without a reservation and were very pleased to find seating available at the bar. Victor, the owner, took care of our party himself. He's got a wealth of knowledge about the wines and products he stocks, so do not hesitate to ask him for a recommendation. Also, definitely DO ask him to serve up some of La Vid's house snacks, like their house Manchego cheese -- absolutely delicious! And then, of course, there's the wine and sundries selection.

As you can imagine, it was not an inexpensive visit, but it was definitely an enjoyable one. We don't get out to Carrollwood very often at all, but La Vid Fine Wines may just change that.

I'm excited to be the first to tell you that you can now have that sweet Seoul experience here in Tampa‼ Perfect date night spot 미각 Migak, means "taste" and I was thoroughly shook when I tried the food and wine pairings at this cozy space off of Dale Mabry. The food here is so delicious, just like my time spent in Korea. Innovative dishes like Truffle Jajangttoek, my favorite so far. Korean owned and operated, the owners also own a few of these amazing food pairing wine bars in Korea, and the chef has also lived and culinary trained in France. They have their hand on the pulse of what is popular in Korea as well as the US. We are so lucky to have this establishment! You won't find anywhere else like this in Tampa Bay. I'm definitely coming back for dessert and to try more! The Migak sommelier is here to help you choose wines that will pair perfectly with the plates that you order. Check the menu online to see that the prices are shockingly low for the quality of food provided. If you are like me and don't drink really, then you can just visit to eat their delicious food.

A must-try. 3 Chicken Skewers - The plump, glossy bites of heaven are dark meat, fatty, glazed and tender. The tangy and slightly spicy sauce matches well with the fatty meat. Paired with Reisling. 4 명태전 Pollack Joen - Fried egg washed fritters, served with a side salad. A very popular dish in Korea. Sometimes whole restaurants just serve various joen as their main menu. Paired with Gruner. 5 불구기 쌈 Bulgogi Ssam - Premade lettuce wraps with just the perfect amount of toppings and sauces, as the chef intended. Paired with white burgundy. 6 카레 Korean Curry - Some say it tastes similar to the popular Japanese curry, but this curry is definitely in it's own category of yummy. As the only Asian food specialist that has written about specifically Korean cuisine and visted Korea multiple times, can speak, read, and write in Hangul --- Migak is my favorite Korean restaurant in Tampa Bay hands down. Keep them open. Protect them at all costs.

    An Italian spin on Cooper's Hawk? Yes, please!…read more The moment the sign went up on this building during construction, I eagerly anticipated this place because I knew it was owned by Cooper's Hawk. We're wine club members, and always enjoy our meals at their location near International Plaza, so the idea of having a Piccolo Buco opening up closer to us in Carrollwood was quite exciting! Let's start at the beginning. My husband and I were fortunate enough to visit Piccolo Buco for their soft opening preview event before they opened to the public, so we were able to try some of their items at no charge. We were limited to ordering from specific menus so their kitchen could get used to making a variety of dishes. Unfortunately for us, our menus were pretty much limited to pizza, pizza, and more pizza. Don't get me wrong, the pizzas were tasty... but since we could each order an appetizer and an entree, and the pizzas were in both of those sections, we didn't actually have a ton of choice. But you can't really complain about free food, so we had a lot of leftovers. During that meal, we had the yellow tomato bisque, the classic margherita pizza (with red tomato sauce), the charred pepperoni pizza (with red tomato sauce), and spicy pepperoni (with yellow tomato sauce). It was a little comical to see three pizzas on our table for two. And while these may LOOK like personal pizzas, don't let that fool you... these are filling. The pizzas were tasty, though I will say the yellow tomato sauce is a bit bland for a pizza. I'd recommend sticking to the red sauce, personally. However, the yellow tomato bisque was fantastic! A bit after they opened to the public, I returned on my own for lunch one day, and got to try their meatball sandwich, which comes with your choice of side (I chose the Caesar salad). FYI, their sandwiches are a lunch-only item, so they're only served until 3:30 pm. Both the sandwich and salad were pretty good, though I'd probably try the chicken parm sandwich next time. Most recently, my husband and I came here for a midday lunch, and split a lunch-only salad (I wish I could remember the name, but it had mixed greens, a vinaigrette dressing, croutons, shaved cheese, kalamata olives, red onion, mozzarella, and a pesto drizzle). This salad was phenomenal! We couldn't stop raving about it... that is, of course, until our entree arrived: the truffle fondue cappellacci. You guys, this honestly might be the best pasta I've ever eaten. My mouth is watering just remembering this dish. It's a cheese-stuffed pasta with black truffle brown butter, aged balsamic, toasted pistachios, and a light honey drizzle. We practically licked the plate clean. How much did we like that pasta? Enough to come back for dinner the very next day and order it again. This time, we split the cappellacci and the braised short ribs. Now, my go-to dish at Cooper's Hawk is the short rib, so I was interested to compare them. I think the flavoring of the Piccolo Buco version is better; however, I didn't love the polenta it's served with, whereas it comes with mashed potatoes at Cooper's Hawk. That being said, Piccolo Buco's salmon is served with roasted Yukon gold potatoes, so I might ask if I could swap the sides on my next visit. For dessert, we've tried both the chocolate hazelnut cake (I'm a sucker for anything Nutella-adjacent) and the crostada (this is always on the dessert menu, but the fruit it's served with is seasonal... as I write this, it's peach and blueberry, but when I visited, it was brown butter apple and chestnut). Both of these desserts are quite good, but the crostada is easily the better of the two. I'm hoping I can try the peach and blueberry version, because that sounds lovely! Oh, and just as Cooper's Hawk has their barrel reserve wine, Piccolo Buco has their Buca Riserva, a Super Tuscan-style blend. It's delicious, and you can always ask for a sample of any of their wines before you commit.

They serve you quickly and you never have to wait to order more. Although this is a very enjoyable wine bar, it is a little too upscale & pricey for the area. There are no flights, specials, or happy hours, so I don't go nearly as often as I'd like. I really wish they had some kind of specials so I could enjoy it more often. It seems like a place that would be in south tampa or downtown, but being in Lutz it would be nice if was more affordable for locals. It also lacks the fun and charisma that used to be there under the previous owners. Tastings, classes, events like trivia night, or weekly specials would really make this bar feel more lively & welcoming.

    Wine, snacks, apps, friendly people. What's not to love?…read more Louie's Wine Bar is a sweet little stop on Van Dyke Road, in the same plaza as Nabruzzi Trattoria. The restaurant can get crazy busy, so parking can be wonky, but thankfully, there is a back parking lot and a back entrance to Louie's Wine bar. In huge latters above the back door it says WINE BAR. You can't miss it. In fact, I think I prefer to park out back, because the spots in the front lot are so tight. Anyway, come on in, sit at the bar, or in a comfy chair or at a high top, nobody minds. Coralee, Robert or Lee will greet you warmly, and get you a glass of water while you peruse the extensive wine menu. They offer a huge variety of whites, rose's , bubbles and red wines by the glass, by the bottle and some even by the half bottle. Pick your poison. If you are having trouble deciding, they will pour you a taste to compare to help you make your best decision. They also have a small but thorough food selection. Flatbreads, boards and snacks to satisfy your hunger no matter the level. I find this Wine bar a lovely addition to the neighborhood, a great place to unwind and hang out with old friends and make some new ones as well.

The tapas are thoughtfully curated with Mediterranean and Spanish vibes. The tuna salad was unique. Reminded me of a potato salad my mom used to make with peas in it. The short rib empanadas were crispy on the outside and meaty inside.

I always look forward to trying a couple new tapas on the happy hour menu along with a couple drinks for the wife and I. Worthy of 4 stars Service is typically very accommodating and helpful. However the last time me and my family went there was a bit of a letdown. First of all it was 8 of us so they sat us at the first table when you walk in on the right. Things were going well, however after the first 10-15 minutes we realized everyone was freezing! There was a vent pushing air non stop on us and it was not enjoyable. Towards the end we had to actively leave to go outside to warm up. You may ask, did you inquire with the team to assist to see about turning the air down? We sure did, the host working that day (May 2nd evening time) said there is nothing we can do, we can't move you now that you've sat down and that they typically tell people to bring a jacket if they plan on sitting them there. Well great! Problem solved, we appreciate absolutely no heads up and now we are not enjoying our time. There was also an event going on the patio, to which they had all left and lingering outside/parking lot area, we inquired again with the host to see if we could go on the patio for the remainder of our drinks. She also said no, as there was still some time left on that parties reservation (even though no one was there). All in all, horrible host, and I won't be back with a large family after spending $400+ with the potential risk of sitting and freezing our a$$ off. However will continue to support local business with my wife and I.

    What an incredible dining experience! From the moment we walked into Esposito's Italian Restaurant,…read morewe were treated like family. The level of service honestly reminded us of Bern's Steak House--professional, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. Our server, Alvaro, was outstanding. He was knowledgeable about the menu, made great recommendations, and was attentive without ever being overbearing. Paul greeted us when we arrived and checked on us throughout dinner, which made us feel truly valued as guests. We started with the Caponata Siciliano "Bruschetta Style," and it was the perfect way to begin our meal. It came with 4 pieces of bread, we couldn't resist eating 2 of them before the photo. For our entrée, we had the Tortellini alla Panna, which was rich, creamy, and absolutely delicious. We ended the evening with chocolate, pistachio, and strawberry gelato, and were pleasantly surprised with complimentary cannolis--a thoughtful touch that made the night even more special. It's rare to find a restaurant that delivers both exceptional food and equally exceptional hospitality. Esposito's exceeded our expectations on every level. We highly recommend it and will definitely be back!

The margaritas with the salt foam are incredible and absolutely a must-try! It's the sister restaurant to another favorite of ours, Shaker & Peel, and you can definitely tell they have the same great attention to quality and atmosphere. We usually grab seats at the bar, where the service is always friendly, attentive, and top-notch. The vibe is energetic without feeling overwhelming, making it a great place to hang out. We can't wait to come back when the weather cools off so we can enjoy their huge outdoor patio. If you're looking for a great place for drinks, appetizers, and a fun atmosphere, Agave Social should definitely be on your list. Five stars!
