Best Italian Restaurants in Land O' Lakes

Decided to take my roommate out tonight for a Christmas dinner at Sacred Pepper and we both enjoyed the dinner immensely. I have eaten here many times and never have been disappointed. It's the best place around for the ambiance, the awesome wine/cocktails, delicious food, and for their exceptional service staff. My roommate had the Chicken Burrata dinner and he said the chicken was vey juicy and flavorful. And he loved the warm orzo pasta it came with. I had the seasonal Cod dinner and it is already one of my favorites. And it came with cheesy potatoes and green beans, And their bread is another special treat that you cant help yourself to. My server "Adam" was so friendly, attentive, efficient, and he made sure our Christmas dinner was very special and memorable. My roommate was really impressed and can't wait to try more dinner entrees at Sacred Pepper.

Great food! Great ambience! Wonderful service! We celebrated day two of my husband’s 30th party and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves!

It was a great experience at Bella Brava. The restaurant is beautiful inside and a great space with outdoor seating. An overall great vibe. The location is just as great as it is located in a pavilion with a shops, services, eateries (including Bella Brava), which all surrounded a space of artificial turf that is great to just hangout, let kids run and play etc, and there was also some live music. Our server at Bella Brava was Veronica and she was friendly and very attentive. She made sure we were having a great experience and even though we could see she had several other tables, it was like she just knew when to stop by and check on us. The food was amazing and the menu offers something for everyone from personal sized pizza to full course Italian meals. It has a feel of a more upscale restaurant experience with a friendly, welcoming vibe. So you can be dressed up for a special occasion, date night, or casual dress meeting up with friends! We will be back because of the wonderful service, the delicious food, and the entire experience! Thank you Veronica and the entire staff at Bella Brava! Oh and you can even "Buy the the kitchen a round" to show support of those working in the kitchen to make the amazing food. It's an option on the menu that I thought was a wonderful idea!

Always a pleasure dining at Donatellos. Anyone who visits Tampa must checkout this place as it is a Tampa staple.

This was our first time here, and it won’t be our last. We were informed it was a new menu starting the night we were there. My wife and I had an excellent time and definitely want to go back since we saw many other things on the menu we want to try. The filet my wife ordered was delicious as was the chicken Marsala. Dessert was excellent as well. Our server Angel was delightful and informative through the whole night. Parking is directly across the street from the restaurant. I would like to check out the rooftop bar as well next time. Grazie mille!
