Best Romantic Restaurants in University of South Florida

We loved predalina. We sat outside and the temperature was perfect and not noisy ! We loved our server Frankie! We started with zucchini chips and saganaki both were amazing. For our mains I got salmon and my husband got lamb both of which were so good. For sides risotto and carrots and then for dessert we tried the baklava and cheese cake. Everything we ate was seriously so good we couldn’t stop talking about it. Highly recommend this little spot if you love Mediterranean food and a cool atmosphere. Thanks Frankie!!

Hands down, the best steak in town. We finally tried the 24 oz Hereford Heritage ribeye with the truffle butter. Paired with the baby artichokes and fabulous wine recommended by Chef Chris - one of our favorite evenings at Quality Foods. We had a 6:15 reservation and were the last ones to leave last night - it’s nice to slow down, enjoy a great meal and chat with Chef Chris, his lovely wife Emily and the friendly staff. What a neighborhood gem.

This Italian gem is a must-visit for anyone who loves authentic flavors and expertly crafted dishes. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm hospitality and a cozy, inviting atmosphere. The menu is a pasta lover’s dream, offering a fantastic selection of handmade specialties, each prepared with the perfect balance of tradition and creativity. The service was impeccable, with friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable staff. Everything from start to finish was top-notch, and we can't wait to return. If you're craving fresh, homemade pasta and an authentic Italian experience, La Casa Della Pasta is the place to be!

We were there on an early reservation valentines day. We had several appetizers, salad and sushi. we ordered as we went and never felt rushed. Our server, McKenzie, was friendly and efficient she had no issue with us ordering multiple times. I watched her work multiple tables and she was very high energy. I also noted that when she was busy that other staff members pitched in and brought our drink and sushi. The food and drinks were very good. I'm glad that there is now a nicer steakhouse in Lutz.

I ordered the 14oz Ribeye med/rare. The chef cooked it to perfection. My husband ordered the Wedge salad and sirloin steak medium/rare. His meal was also above his expectations. We went for an intimate early Valentine’s Day celebration. I gave our whole dinner experience 5 stars. I highly recommend Stonewood Grill.
