Best Italian Restaurants in Land O' Lakes

We celebrated our anniversary with dinner here, and it was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we walked in, we were blown away by the impeccable service, which truly set this place apart. The cocktails were expertly crafted, the live entertainment added a vibrant touch, and the food was absolutely top-notch. What truly elevated the evening, however, was the staff’s attention to detail. They noticed it was our special day and surprised us with a decadent dessert that was as thoughtful as it was delicious. It’s rare to find a dining experience where every aspect shines, but this establishment exceeded all expectations. A heartfelt thank you to the team for making our celebration so memorable. We can’t wait to return and relive the magic!

Great! First experience! Told them in advance. It was our first year anniversary and they gave us a private and quieter area to sit in. They were very attentive. All the food was excellent and the drinks were great. Wasn't a huge fan of the bread but didn't really care about that LOL Chicken cacciatore was amazing. Probably one of the best I've ever had. I don't think the price was that bad for any of the food.

The food was excellent but the service was not good. It was like our server was distracted and kept forgetting about us. I've been there quite often and this has not happened before. It wasn't as though the place was packed, there were plenty of empty tables.

We thought this place deserved 5 stars. We were a little late to our 5:30 reservation… about 20 minutes. When we got there the hostess took our name and we were seated within 5 minutes. We started with the Sangria and the Basil Basilica and both were fantastic. For appetizers we had the ricotta spread (which was very good but a little too much ricotta cream), the octopus (very good) and the wagyu carpaccio (which was my favorite!). My boyfriend had the chicken for the entree and I had the Mafaldine. Both were absolutely amazing and will be going back!

Overall a wonderful experience. Went on Christmas Eve, the bread and roasted garlic with olive oil was amazing. We tried the fra diavlo, pasta brava, and crostata. The groups consensus was that the pasta brava was the best. Great wine and service was on point. Will definitely come again.
