    This by far one of my favorite Italian restaurants in the Tampa Bay Area. I’m thankful for their food & service. Amber was our server & she was very attentive, knowledgeable & polite. The food was excellent, as being a vegetarian they were able to accommodate very well. Our only wish was due to us removing meat from our bruschetta board we wished they’d added more cheeses. However, food was delicious. We will be recommending to others & for sure going back. Thank you!

    Parm to Table experience is ABSOLUTELY worth the price, and for 2 people is actually better pricewise than most two-entree combinations. Atmosphere was lovely, our server was kind and knowledgeable, and amazing Italian food.
