    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.

    Chef Massimo came out with his signature veal in a mushroom sauce, which pleased my friend Richard greatly. Richard deemed it a $100 value. The Limoncello is a must try (You can trust me).

    Best food around. I like the variety and seasonal specials. My husband likes a well done steak, which is perfectly cooked and very tender every time. Also has a tasteful bar. Great for special occasions. We feel lucky that fine dining is so close to home in mid Pinellas. No need to drive in busy traffic and struggle to find parking in Tampa and St Pete.

    What a lovely little gem! My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed a quaint romantic evening with a delicious meal and great ambiance. Our server really made the experience top notch! I regret that I can’t recall his name but he is French and absolutely lovely!

    We go to Massimos for special occasions. This was our 31st anniversary dinner. It couldn’t have been any better. We’ve been there about a half dozen times and each time it’s been the same, outstanding! Thank you for an excellent night.

    Wine list is amazing! Menu choices are great! Service was very slow considering there were only 5 or 6 occupied tables. Ambiance could have been better for an Italian restaurant. Would have liked to hear some music. It was so quiet that you could hear the conversations of tables around you. Our server was friendly and professional but the wait between his visits was much too long. 2 1/2 hours on a Thursday for just the 2 of us. Considering there were only 5 or 6 tables occupied and at least 3 servers plus a hostess.
