I'd try to slip in earlier during happy hour to beat most of the crowd because it started getting pretty packed on our way out. Our server Demetrius was very attentive and knowledge about the menu even making sure to include some of his personal favorites into the recommendations. He also offered to bring us more chips for our queso once we ran low. I really wanted the craftsmanship of a cocktail without the alcohol and fortunately they offer a non-alcoholic tequila alternative that can be used in any of their drinks. For my meal I had the island jerk tacos which surprisingly had a really good jerk flavor, the simple chicken taco, and the OTC street corn. This place was clean, friendly, and overall a great vibe!

The margaritas with the salt foam are incredible and absolutely a must-try!

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!

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.

Was anxiously awaiting the opening of this restaurant. As they are associated with Coopers Hawk,…read morewas expecting excellent food and service. I have driven by a few time and always looks busy, so thought it would be good. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed with the food. Sat at the bar and ordered one of the house old fashions, which was excellent. Since they are promoting their pizza so much, I thought it would be good as well. I was wrong. Ordered a Fungo pizza, one of the standards on the menu, which had wild mushrooms, black garlic, Parmesan fonduta, basil, and white truffle oil. Sounded great, but I got a pizza with 2 inches of crust and a tiny bit of toppings. (see pic) Taste was good but it was mostly dough. For the price of $18, I was extremely disappointed. My wife ordered the Calabrian Chili Shrimp Pasta and it was also disappointing. $25 for a small plate of undercooked boxed pasta with 6 med shrimp was not a good value. In addition, the time to get our food was longer than expected. I know the restaurant recently opened, but being a Coopers Hawk restaurant, they should have their act together. Low value, long wait times and mediocre food prevent me recommending this restaurant. Hopefully they work out the bugs soon. However, I do recommend going to the bar for an excellent cocktail.
