MAGGIANO'S LITTLE ITALY REVIEWS
We were in the mood for Italian food and I did some searching came across Maggiano’s read reviews and said this is it. Well let me tell you I was not mistaken. We didn’t have a reservation but we were in and out within 45 minutes. Tiffany our server was AMAZING. The portions you get are GREAT. The flavor amazing. 10/10 recommend this place. You won’t regret it. Chef’s kiss!
Went in the afternoon and sat outside. Very nice ambiance and not as crowded as inside. Customer service was top tier and main reason I’m giving 5 stars. Drinks were very good. I myself think I ordered the wrong things because out of my table, I was the only one who didn’t really like their food. My daughter and wife’s food was amazing and mine just wasn’t up to par for what I expected. Stuffed mushrooms didn’t have the taste I was looking for and the salmon dish wasn’t seasoned that much. Just kind of eh. I would definitely return and just order something else. Ordered the Stuffed mushrooms; Salmon with Crispy Calabrian shrimp; Frozen peach Bellini, Citrus mule.
Maggiano’s is a top notch restaurant to visit if your in the mood for authentic Italian food! This place is perfect for family, romantic dates and also business conference meetings. They have valet parking and it is recommended to call for reservations ahead of time. The food is incredibly delicious and of course they have so many options to choose from the menu. I highly recommend trying this place out as #1 on the list.

BERNINI OF YBOR REVIEWS
We had a lovely mid week dining experience at Bernini the other week. We came early for our reservation and had not problem being seated earlier. The staff is kind and attentive. Their martinis were $3 and some entrees and pastas were half priced while we were there as well. Their servings are large and everything had great flavor to them. Would love to come and experience this again!
This establishment that was originally a bank is a definite try for anyone that is visiting the Tampa area or lives in the area, soecifically located in Ybor. The decor and architecture was enjoyable, food was very good, drinks were well made, and service was excellent. Definitely a place to revisit. On days where eating outside is ideal this location has outdoor seating as well. Also, this establishment has a banquet room for various events. Kid-friendliness: Location is kid-friendly, but does not have a children's menu so portion sizes will be potentially large for a child.
Went this evening for my daughter’s 23rd birthday. Happy Hour $3 martinis and half of entrees/pasta was a fantastic deal! The service was fantastic. Food was delicious and the martinis were perfect. Definitely recommend!

BELLA'S ITALIAN CAFÉ REVIEWS
Food is amazing. Pasta is made fresh daily is egg free!! The bolognese sauce with rigatoni is the best! Also, I’m so picky with Alfredo sauce but Bella’s truly has the best!! They also offer a great Cabernet called “Taken” which is rich & semi sweet! The tiramisu is top quality as is the chocolate lava cake!! Manager Eric is so kind and I just love this place! Definitely the best Italian I’ve had in Tampa!
Great place to go for Italian food in South Tampa. Excellent pasta choices and pizza options as well. Nice beer and wine selection. Very friendly service.
What a fantastic Italian place this is. The service was wonderful and fast. The food was terrific as well as the atmosphere. Had the calzone, chicken parm and chopped salad with warm bread and pasta. Go check it out. You won't be disappointed.
