Service, food, drinks, and atmosphere was good. Chris took nice care of us and the rest of the staff always ensured we had a fresh set of utensils at all times. Water was never half empty. Cocktails took some time to arrive but their old fashion was solid. Food was tasty and colorful. Had the charcuterie board, short rib, scallop risotto, and three desserts ?. Ice cream was not my favorite; it wasn’t creamy. Risotto was bright green and yummy. Scallops were cooked just right. Short rib was delicious.
We went here for our anniversary. The food was amazing and the service impeccable. Our server was Chris and he was nice, attentive and incredibly knowledgeable about the wine list.
Always great! Chef David and his crew are excellent!
Chef’s tasting menu with wine paring was delish! Would definitely come back especially since the menu is always changing.
We met our Friends Greg and john here for a dinner that was way too long in coming. We’d tasted some of the items at a cooking demonstration in Tampa and I vowed to go there - sadly that was before COVID if memory serves. The setting is rustic but totally fine. I’d like to shout out to Gabrielle who was our server. She very clearly knew the menu inside out and the tasting menu with accompanying wine was worth every penny. There are GF options available (I don’t need them but nowadays it’s become an important element). The tasting menu had 8 courses and each one was better than the next. There were caviar items, delicious pasta and yummy Wagyu. Run don’t walk to I’ll Ritorno. Don’t be like me and wait way too long.
While it is amazing to see a full vegan menu, which was what drawn me to the restaurant, it was quite pricey for bland tasting food. I get it. Not a lot of non-vegans know how to "spice" a meal up, it was quite disappointing, to see no effort in adding addition ingredients for texture or flavor. Service was good. Portions could have been better. I went home and had to eat a second dinner. 2 stars for the effort
Best food I have ever had in St Pete. Service was excellent. Our waiter made sure to point out the menu options and offer alternatives for our gluten free and vegetarian guests.
The food service and beverage service was amazing. The only thing I would comment on is the lack of seasoning. I ordered the dish everyone brags about and I was severely disappointed. The sauce was oily and no seasoning at all, not on the filling or the pasta.
Some of the best Italian food in Tampa Bay. Tastes authentic Italian.
Yummy food and relaxed atmosphere. Plan to spend some time and relax with company. Very accommodating to allergies and gluten free pasta! So delicious.
