Best Cosy Restaurants in Indian Rocks Beach

Food was fantastic. Very rear to find North African Lobster in any restaurant. The best Lobster in the world and reasonable price. Georgia, our service provider. provided great service and a fun experience. Value for this level of servic quality food, and great prices is better than any restaurant in Tampa Bay. Try it and you will see! Ask for Georgia.

We enjoyed a special prix-fixe menu for Valentines. This 7 courses delight was expertly explained, timely served, and appropriately apportioned. The dinner is better described as an experience (2 hours). The experience includes a sommelier if you have questions regarding your pairings. There are no awkward waiting periods as the wait staff were very consumer-centric! The food was nothing short of magnificent. If you want a downside, the evening had to end and I was too full to do much of anything! Definitely worthy of its placement as a Top 100 romantic restaurant!

It was our first time dining at Valentino Ristorante Italiano but it will certainly not be our last time. We were warmly greeted the moment we stepped inside the understated yet elegant interior. We immediately knew this was not going to be a “typical” Italian dining experience. Once seated, the staff were abundant, attentive, accommodating and genuinely friendly. In fact, after expressing our delight over the vongole appetizer (clams), our server brought the chef, Ciro Mancini, to our table so we could share our thoughts and compliments with him directly. With so many delicious options on the menu, we were challenged to make a selection. We opted for the Fettucine Bolognese to enjoy as an appetizer (along with the clams) and felt satisfied we had made an excellent choice. The fresh pasta was al dente and the sauce was complex and rich enhancing,but not overpowering, the wagyu beef. We followed up with Zuppa Di Pesce, served in a bowl loaded with a fresh assortment of seafood. Thankfully it came with crostini to absorb the delicious broth and because it was so tasty we moved on to dipping in with the bread we were served upon being seated. Our server recommended the Veal Marsala and it did not disappoint. The sauce was full bodied and the mushrooms were firm and flavorful. Perhaps the best we’ve ever had! The dessert menu was limited and if we hadn’t overindulged on the other dishes we had ordered, we might have opted to try one. Perhaps on our next visit we will better pace ourselves, if possible, so we can sample their sweet offerings. Overall, we had a wonderful meal in a tastefully elegant setting with great service. Now that’s AMORE!

Went for lunch. Very nice family run restaurant. The staff are very kind and attentive. We were really happy with our service. We tried the salad, fish and chips and steak and cheese sandwich. All were good. The standout probably was the steak and cheese. I think this is one of their top lunch items. We ordered dessert. They have incredible gelato. We had hazelnut. It was very good. Reminded me of Cristinos nearby. Some of the best gelato in the area for sure. It’s a hidden gem. I think more people need to know about this place

This was a great find. Food was excellent. Superbly presented and the wine pairing for the food was perfect. It is definitely value for money. Sadly we are on holiday otherwise we would definitely go back.
