It’s all about finding the right combo that makes sense, and to not complicate it like some New American bowl dish. Respect simplicity. Vodka sauce with cheese tortellini or gnocchi is a winner—no extras needed. Some other good choices too. Definitely adequate.

Amazing. If you are looking for Italian food in the SoHo/Hyde Park area, this is where you want to order from. You can get takeout or delivery (no dining room) and the food really is wonderful. To be clear it isn't the best Italian food I have ever had, but it is definitely the best take out food I have ever had. The prices are average for the area. Build your own spaghetti was about $11, add Italian sausage added $7 or shrimp for $9. The real Italian sausage is worth it. Will be back frequently!

Ordered on Uber Eats, cheese tortellini with seasoned marinara sauce, added sun dried tomatoes and grilled chicken. Portion was big, with a substantial amount of chicken, and just enough sauce. $26 total, see the break down in the receipt pic if you care. I have no problem paying $26 for a banging cheese tortellini with chicken. Unfortunately this was not banging. This dish tastes exactly like the tortellini I made myself in college, with Barilla brand boxed tortellini and a jar of Prego sauce, with a few spices thrown in the pot, compliments of Walmart.The Don Rigatoni dish was good, but not great, and I will not be convinced that the tortellini nor the sauce were made from scratch, as written in Uber Eats.

First time trying Don rigatoni and it was absolutely delicious! I got the fettuccine Alfredo with chicken and asparagus and it was perfect! The cheesy garlic bread? Delicious! Everything was absolutely amazing! I’ll definitely be back on Friday lol! Please give this restaurant a chance! It is so good and worth the price in my eyes!

I've ordered delivery from here a few times now and it's always delicious. Spaghetti is one of my favorite comfort foods and I love that I can request it just the way I want it. The sauce is amazing and not watered down. The portions are hot and huge, I can get a couple meals out of one order. I definitely recommend for pasta delivery!

We decided to order this as a family tonight through Door Dash. We were excited to try a new Italian food place, especially because it came with such great reviews. We ordered five different things: the spaghetti with bolognese, the spaghetti and meatballs, the meat tortellini with fresh cream sauce, paprika penne with seasoned marinara and spicy sausage, and a beef empanada. After waiting for over an hour, our food did show up, and unfortunately I wish the dasher would have just kept it. The bolognese sauce was loose and inedibly sweet with almost no meat. The spaghetti and meatballs had the same problem. The meatballs tasted bland and the sauce was just absolutely too sweet. The tortellini had almost no sauce and the tortellini themselves tasted like something straight out of a chef Boyardi can. The penne with marinara and spicy sausage was again, too sweet to eat, and the sausage had barely any flavor, let alone any spice. The empanada was palatable, but extremely cold. In the end, here we are with $80 of food we are going to have to take to a homeless shelter because otherwise, it will be in our dumpster for the next week.

We had the lasagna! Big portion…. Excellent sauce. This was carry out. Our order was hot & fresh

If you are in the Downtown Tampa area or even in the outskirts of Downtown, Don Rigatoni is a must! Let's talk about the experience of walking into an incredible decor of sultry lighting coupled with extreme attention to detail. I could describe it all but you have to experience it. I thought I was going to a mediocre local Italian pick-up joint but I was pleasantly surprised. In addition to an impeccable ambiance and superb customer service, I thought to myself, okay, let's see if the food matches all of the greatness I've experienced so far. Oh my word! Perfection! Freshly prepared black spaghetti cooked with just the right amount of al dente chew with a buttery garlic sauce. It literally tastes like it just came out of the pot, seriously fresh...then there's the soft, make your mouth melt bread. Then to add to it, I noticed an understated, quaint plant behind the counter that said on the planter "women owned business". Commendable, but even if it were not, this best kept secret ranks top notch.

A great Italian spot! Food is always tastey and the staff are super friendly!

BEST PLACE EVER!! They are always fast with your order, and the fact that you can customize your pasta is awesome. The staff and owner are both so friendly and you can tell their food is art. Hidden gem for sure.
