Best Italian Restaurants in Temple Terrace

Great meal! Quiet and delicious! Thanksgiving meal was amazing, delicious turkey, divine cranberry sauce! Will be back for more!

I really enjoy Bella brava every single time and today was no exception. Arianna was our server and she is amazing. She made great recommendations for everything from cocktails to our meal and when we had to abruptly leave she was able to quickly adapt and brought us the check, to go boxes, and cleared everything. She was great! The food is always good. The cocktails amazing! Will definitely be back!

Quick date night before Thanksgiving. Everything was perfect…drinks, food and service. Also really nice electric violin playing most of the night.

This restaurant is old school in a good way. Waiters in Tuxedo's, a single rose presented to any of the ladies at the table. The service was outstanding. Very attentive. Not pushy. Wine glass along with water always refilled, dirty dishes immediately removed. Then there is the food. Simply outstanding. Without question, one of the best Italian restaurants in the Tampa Bay area.

For tonight's dinner I started with the Crispy Buffalo Cauliflower (fresh-fried cauliflower bites topped with Sriracha aioli and served with cool-herbed ranch dressing, house-made pickled cucumbers) and it was fantastic. For my dinner I had the Pan Seared Grouper Picatta with capers, lemon butter, warm house-made orzo pasta, grilled asparagus and it was delicious/flavorful and one of my favorites. My regular server "Adam" was exceptional, as always, and he is consistently friendly, attentive, patient, accommodating, efficient, and he has made so many wonderful recommendations to me that have all awakened my taste buds. Sacred Pepper is an excellent choice for the ambiance, awesome wine/drink selections, amazing and delicious food selections, soothing after dinner drinks, and mouthwatering desserts. And the service staff are all so friendly and welcoming. it's a "WIN" for me every single time I eat there!
