This place is so yummy. Great authentic Italian place. Every food item I have had is amazing. The place is very small - so can get quite busy on weekends. Our server was great and made our night personable. He even played us a song on the guitar as a thank you for coming in. The place is very much a family, personal feel! I will definitely be back. read more

I love this place!! My boyfriend and I come here frequently, the owner is so kind!! Juan is our favorite! Can't go wrong with anything on the menu here - come hungry!! It's a small place so parking is rough, make reservations!! They have live music later in the evening as well which is such a beautiful touch! read more

Took my girlfriend here for a Valentine's Day dinner date and was blown away. The restaurant is run by an Italian family who really emulates the environment/vibe of an Italian restaurant, or at least what you imagine one to be or what you see in the movies! A pianist played most of the time, and every 45 minutes or so one of the employees came out and sang in Italian. He really engaged the whole restaurant and made the atmosphere romantic and fun. As for the food, I had the Osso Buco (pork shank) and saffron risotto. It was heavy but delicious. My girlfriend had the eggplant parm which was equally good! The service was a little slow as it was a busy night, but the staff treated us very well, letting us choose our table and making sure to give my girlfriend the "Queen's seat" facing out to see the whole restaurant which was very thoughtful of the host. Overall, would definitely recommend this gem in South Tampa! read more

Loved everything about this place, still thinking about that pear pasta appetizer !! We will be back.

This place is not good especially for parties. The reservation was 630PM and we got out of there after 9PM. Service is slow and horrible. The food is mediocre. You can definitely find better Italian food in the Tampa Bay Area. I'm not sure how this place has such a high rating but I will not be back. read more

Quaint, delicious, Dario singing. Can't beat this place. perfetto! The best Italian in Tampa. Never a complaint. Never a bad bite. Can't recommend more. read more

What a vibe this place is! Went here on a terrible date and still had a great time! Between the family singing and entertainment It was hard to have a bad time. And they gave me a flower The food was absolutely amazing. I got the lasagna. The freshness of pasta is unmatched. The sauce was delicious. The portion is pretty big (thanks for next day's lunch). I couldn't leave without trying tiramisu! Which, of course, didn't disappoint! The place is small so make reservations, if you can. read more

If you live in or visit Tampa Vino E Pasta is a restaurant you must visit. It's a family owned business and everything was great. Nice atmosphere, Friendly Staff, Great Food and Price Friendly. It's owned by a husband and wife couple, I met the Husband and the wife wasn't there yet. But Mr. Luigi was so nice and friendly. He walks the entire restaurant and speaks to the entire restaurant and gets there feedback about the establishment. Great place to eat at. Two Thumbs up . read more

I'm going to start off by saying we've been here a handful of times. We came here for my mom's mother day dinner and had the whole family out. I was disappointed by the service of our waiter. we constantly had to ask for water refills. Our server played 3-4 songs on the guitar to other tables and didn't really take care of us. The owner after awhile finally came up and started to make things right for us. Food was great and we love coming here we just wish the service was on point. If it wasn't for the owner I definitely wouldn't have been happy. Take care of your table then go sing and entertain customers. Other than that we love coming here and we won't let the hit or miss service stop us from coming. read more

Wow, this place exceeded my expectations! The food and service was good. The lunch special was great and well attended. Thank you! read more

Vino E Pasta - The Veal House Special - Italian Near Me - Tampa, Florida

I enjoy the Fresh pasta... not that frozen stuff . A small little spot with great care to customer and food preparation

Been going to this place for 16 years. Apparently they have turned into a upscale establishment that requires a dress code. Definitely still recommend to the inth degree. Just don't understand why they would change to the extent that they run away a long time customer. Wishing all the best. Sincerely, times are a changing. read more

Best fresh fried Calamari in Tampa! Hands down. I was blown away by the flavors. But you guys need a better, bigger location!

We had an excellent meal at this family-owned jewel in South Tampa. On the corner of Gandy and Himes, in the Publix parking lot, it is the type of place you have probably driven past a hundred times. The owner is charming, the wait staff friendly and efficient. We were hand sanitized and temp checked before being seated. The restaurant itself is cozy inside, twinkling lights, live piano, fresh flowers and candles on the table. Our server helped us order, answering our questions about the specials and menu. We ordered two appetizers - the calamari was incredibly fresh and light. Simply delicious! The caprice salad was also very good. The fresh bread served with butter and an herb spread was good. I had a bowl of pasta fagioli- heaven. The entrees were equally amazing. My husband had one of the specials, seafood ravioli which also was so fresh and delicious. I had the veal Milanese with rigatoni and the pink princess sauce. We shared a bottle of Cabernet, which complimented both dishes nicely. Our friends also thoroughly enjoyed their meals. Dessert was cappuccinos and tiramisu for him, chocolate cake for me. The foam on the cappuccinos was sexy! The desserts were heavenly. The owner brought over glasses of a sparking blush dessert wine prior to our coffees, and we had a birthday toast! As we were leaving, the ladies were given roses. We will be back! read more

This place was amazing! The food is the best Italian food I've ever had. We didn't have a reservation and they still squeezed us in on a busy Friday night. I would suggest making a reservation as it fills up quickly! It is run and owned by a family and they are all very sweet and kind. Great service! Great food! Highly recommend. read more

Absolutely great food and service here. Old school Italian restaurant. Not a big place. 12-15 tables. Would definitely recommend making a reservation. The chicken Marsala and Picatta are banging! read more

Great little piece of Italy tucked in South Tampa !! Don't let the outside fool you. Great food and atmosphere and service . You will not regret it ! I have even started getting take out from them. read more

Delicious. We came here on a Sunday night for dinner. Their food was outstanding. They have something for everyone! It's a small, family owned restaurant. Inside is very romantic with dim lighting. They provide you with bread on the table. Our friend started with the Italian wedding soup, which looked amazing, and got regular pasta with sauce for an entree. I had the Chicken Bruschetta with steamed vegetables. My husband had one of the specials they offered, Seafood Ravioli. The pasta is made in house and you can really taste it. They have an array of appitizers, entrees and specials to choose from. Don't get started with the desserts because they bring an entire tray to our table to physically show you what they have for dessert. It's hard to not say, just leave the entire tray! They had chocolate mousse, cannoli, tiramisu and about 4 other choices. Such a hidden gem! It's a great place for birthdays, anniversary's, and special occasions. Parking is difficult. The location is tight and right next to a drive thru poke business, so they share a parking lot and it's very close parking with about 10 spaces. Overall, I would highly recommend. I know I'll be returning! read more

The food was delicious and made to order. I cannot have any alcohol, even if cooked. It is very difficult to find anything not cooked with wine in an Italian restaurant. They were able to come with something different for my veal to be cooked in. The veal was delicious, the pasta was amazing, and the sauce was to die for! Everything was perfect there. The wait staff were professional (and handsome)! I would highly recommend this place! Well worth it! read more

When you're tired beyond belief and you spend $50 on takeout and you ask .. you trouble shoot with the staff that there is silverware and napkins and they say it and you reaffirm and they said oh yes miss and you get home and everything looks like garbage to boot them they must be paying for these reviews. They will reply to this and apologize but no if they cared they would have payed attention to detail. The food is also not looking good. Reassess your decision to go here. Living in Manhattan all my life I know great Italian. This isn't it. read more

Update: Sunday, February 16, 2020 I'm going to start with the "the good news" first. My boyfriend and I started with the bruschetta. In the menu, it's written tomato and mozzarella or salmon and capers for $7.95. We figured it was for the same price. Unfortunately, we found out it's $11.95 after we received our detailed bill. I wish our server mentioned the price difference. But the good news: The salmon bruschetta was so delicious. I would highly recommend this appetizers. Now, here is "the bad news" or disappointing news. We ordered the Chicken Canelloni. We decided to the split our dinner and it was perfect. Until we received our bill, we were charged $3.95 for a Split Dinner Plate!!! Again, I wish our server mentioned there will be an extra charge for a Split Dinner Plate. I think we would of ordered differently. The Chicken Canelloni listed in the menu as $17.95. And our detailed bill was listed as $18.95. read more

we went here on a whim and everything about it was amazing. we really enjoyed the specials ( pear and cheese stuffed pasta, YUM!) BUT what really set it apart was the owner coming over to chat with us about wine, give us a little knowledge and samples of wine we would have never tried that we ultimately left with a bottle! the menu is short and simple, I enjoy that, to many options makes your head turn. overall a welcoming family joint that we will be returning to read more

We have been here 20+ times and every time it has been excellent. The place is small but everything is homemade.

Food as always is amazing but what makes this special is the owner and staff. We were the last ones in the restaurant and our server started playing guitar right beside out table. Wonderful night to say the least. Super family ran business. read more

I visited Vino E Pasta for the first time recently. What a treat! I had been told about this place some time ago, but for some reason thought that it would be hard to get to from St. Pete, but it is conveniently located a short distance past the Tampa end of the Gandy bridge. I love Italian food. I have had more than my fair share of disappointments trying to find really good authentic Italian food in the area, but my search is over. Vino E Pasta is now my "go-to" spot for fine Italian food. Everything you'd expect to find in a great dining place is in full display there. A cozy, inviting atmosphere- great place for couples or small groups. A very friendly staff - helpful and attentive, and the food is quite simply amazing. The classic are well-covered, but there are bold and adventurous choices to be had as well. Everything from the warm bread and herb flavored oil served to start the meal to the desserts - all prepared "in house", it's nothing but goodness. Don't miss it! read more

Awesome little place. Tastes homemade. Has a nice family feel. This place is a hidden gem. You will drive right past it and not see it. Princess sauce - marinara with Alfredo. I was impressed. Had the Chicken bruschetta - seemed to throw the waiter for a loop when I asked for it without tomatoes, just garlic, olive oil and basil. Said they would do something with it for me. What came out wasn't what I expected but it was very good and I have absolutely no complaints. And my brother oh no I forgot I'm in my shorts in my pocket Lasagna was excellent. read more

Excellent food. From the tasty Octopus and Calamari appetizers to the pasta entrees you cannot go wrong. I had the Veal Vino and Pasta dish. Scrumptious, tender tasty veal roll up with an amazing sauce. My wife had the Veal Saltimbocca (which I had had previously) and loved it. Excellent wine list, very well priced. The Nebbiolo was fantastic. Service always right on with the owner always present. The only reason i gave 4 not 5 stars is not about the food or service. It is about their reservations, they are not on Open table or any other platform. You have to call them, which is very difficult or email them, with usually no confirmation on the reservation. The last time we had reservations for 8, tried to confirm the previous day by email with no response. When we arrived they had forgotten about the reservation. I have to say they made room for us immediately, but they need to get a better reservation system. read more

Service on a Friday night was not good. One waiter for the entire restaurant from what I could tell. Nice guy, think he was the owner, but it wasn't a good experience. Food was 3 stars. read more

I want to start off by saying that this restaurant is NOT kid friendly from my experience! Even though We called prior to our visit with my family. We got to the restaurant we walked in the door they gave us hand sanitizer and checked our temps. They appointed us to our table and they tried to tell my family exactly where to sit which when we looked at the table their wasn't special accommodations so we sat where we wanted, at this point they were just hovering over our table not one server but 3/4 people then as we start getting adjusted the Owner comes over and start taking a dish out of my sons hand said he was worrying about him breaking something, which made me feel very uncomfortable! First off You don't get to touch my son, I'm am his parent if you have an issue tell me and I will handle it. Which again we called ahead so when we told them kids were coming you didn't think to maybe take off anything you felt uncomfortable with? Then they start taking utensils and wine glasses off the table and at this point I'm ready to leave! WE WERE BEYOND embarrassed. My son is five years old and understands that what I tell him to do or not to do is up to me but this restaurant never gave him a chance!! I was in disbelief they kept trying to get us to stay after making my son look like he couldn't control himself. I said no I didn't feel comfortable for my family being here, he tried to show me his family picture which Didn't make me feel any better because I'm already upset and ready to go. I drive past this restaurant constantly and I've waited to bring my family here but the experience was awful. I understand if you were worried about him getting hurt but that wasn't the case but the owner said he didn't want HIS glass to break, Again this is not a kid friendly restaurant. and I wish I would have known that before coming I would have made arrangements another time but that's not the case. read more
