Best Authentic Restaurants in Tarpon Springs

Highly recommend this restaurant! The food is always excellent as well as the service and ambiance. Rivals any Italian Restaurant in the Tampa Bay area.

We had a nice dinner with an attentive waitress. Pleasant atmosphere. The Burrata was delicious and the bisque had nice texture and good lobster meat. We had the Parpadelle with crab and Alfredo - the lump crab meat was plentiful in a flavorful sauce. Highly recommend as well as the Veal Massimo which was very rich and came with veggies. The sauce was delicious. Finally we had the lemoncello cake with raspberry sauce - simply divine. The whipped cream is worth it alone on the side. Chef came by to check on us as well. We had a lovely time thank you.

My wife had a very good Rigatoni alla Bolognese (fresh red sauce with meat). I had Lasagna Napoletana which had a very fresh red tomato sauce. Nice ambiance. There was a piano player playing softly. My wife also enjoyed her Rum cake. Only improvement I would suggest would be to serve the food more timely. We were with a couple we had not seen in awhile, so it did not bother us much.

Great food and service. But WOW was it loud even on a wednesday . Depends on if you get loud people in there when you are there….boisterous laughing is great but not for 90 minutes. Need sound absorption in the restaraunt for sure.

Busy for a good reason! Yum! Table service can be slow with the busy takeout needs. Drinks and food are spot on! We will return!
