Couple things…food is awesome. Probably the best Italian food in all of Tampa. Atmosphere is pretty cool and cozy. As for service…wellll personally I feel they go about seating people wrong. Put your hostess outside and sit people when you have available tables. Don’t have people waiting literally in your dinning area. There is also zero communication when you arrive with a reservation. They will just take your name, say thanks, and walk off and ignore you for an undisclosed amount of time while you stare at multiple empty tables. I’ve come to the conclusion that it must be a culture thing? The whole “everyone annoys me” attitude must just be part of the experience. With all that being said I want everyone to know I still frequent this place for every occasion or date night. The food is simply unbeatable. 1 simple relocation of your hostess station to the outside (there’s literally a spot for it already) and some friendlier service and this place is 5star dinning.
Great vibe & service, most of our food was great but the veal didn’t do much for me.
They have the best bread!! Overall experience was wonderful. Weather permitting, I recommend you eat outside in the alley type seating. So cozy and a cute little Italian vibe. Waiter recommended a cheese wheel appetizer because what we wanted was out. It was an interesting experience. Wouldn't get it again, but it was cool to try something new. I ordered chicken alfredo - very creamy and tasty! Needed salt though. My wife ordered shrimp and scallop scampi - she said it was very good and seafood was cooked well. The star of the meal was the bread! Loved it. Waiter was very nice. Would come here again!
Our first time here and it was rather early for dinner but we hadn't even had lunch that day. One of those days where you're rushing everywhere. Well, we walk in and there's only a few tables that were taken. The host tells us they can't seat us until 8:45 and it's literally 5ish? No problem, we could see the screen and it was booked solid. We start to leave and another server tells us to wait a minute and he would seat us. So glad we stayed. The food was wonderful and our server was a very sweet young man. It's a locals spot so I'm sure it's always busy. We will definitely be back.
Everything was AMAZING. Best (free, for the table) bruschetta, lightest house salad, best butternut squash ravioli, and best garlic bread I’ve ever had. Trust me on this 😂 Service was great - atmosphere was perfect. Mini cannolis were the perfect dessert - not too much and customizable. I highly, highly recommend. Also - our waitress, Misty, was amazing! Definitely recommend her.
My go-to for great Italian food. Went last night and the server Kendra was phenomenal. I would recommend this place to my friends but it's one of my hidden Gems that I keep to myself 😊😊😊
Personally ordered the Palermo Chicken Cutlet with a side of Alfredo, company ordered the Alfredo and Genovese Pesto.
Very unique menu options as well as the classics. Was disapponted that they do not have fresh made pasta in house. Had vegetarians at the table and pasta dishes with meat didn't have veggie freindly protein options and would get charged for protein.
The house salad was not that impressive. All the dishes were delicious and had a great texture. The Palermo Chicken breast was perfectly fried, crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. But the dish had an excessive amount of oil, left with a large amount on my plate when I finished up. Genovese Pesto is a great vegetarian dish. amazing unique flavor. The chicken we had to get on the side for the alfredo was tough and dry and no freshly grated Parmigiano 😢.
Good experience overall, a little pricey for the missing details and slight mishaps. Had a good time, no problem with reservation, staff was nice and attentive, and cozy environment.
Additional note: Face is still uncomfortable oily 2 days after from the food. The food is good but beware.
Took my bf here for his birthday dinner and we loved this place! Our waitress, Angela, was great and the food was amazing. We enjoyed the burrata, butternut squash ravioli, shrimp & scallop alfredo and grilled pineapple for dessert. 😍 Will definitely return!
there is no other way to have italian food if it’s not Oggi! holy cannoli their food is spectacular. 2nd time here and it just keeps getting better. i always come here alone and the service is amazing. the Pistacho Chicken Cutlet and Genovese Pesto (not pictured) are my go to. the tiramisu is my favorite in town!
An amazing experience! I went for brunch and it didn’t disappoint. I had the Italian Benedict and a half portion of the cannoli French toast. Both were absolutely delicious and I am a picky person when it comes to breakfast! The staff was friendly and the feel to the restaurant was charming. The food was fresh and full of flavor.
I would highly recommend for brunch and plan to go for dinner in the near future.
