The food is amazing. Oddly, the desserts are where the quality falls a little flat.

My favorite restaurant in the Tampa Bay area!!! Never disappoints!! Had dinner there with friends last night. They had never been there. They commented that everything was perfect from the beginning to the end. Food, service, ambiance. Top notch in my book!

My husband and I dined at The Black Pearl tonight for their Christmas special, and it was truly one of the most exceptional culinary experiences we’ve ever had. We’ve previously had a three-Michelin-star experience in Mexico (2022), and this evening rivaled, if not matched, that level of excellence. Every detail was extraordinary—the food was exquisite, with each course perfectly crafted to delight the senses. The palate cleansers were a delightful and refreshing touch, enhancing the flow of the meal beautifully. We opted for the seven-course holiday special with the wine pairing, and it was worth every penny. The wine pairing was simply impeccable, a flawless 10/10, with each selection complementing the dishes perfectly. This was not just a meal; it was an unforgettable culinary journey. We’re already counting down the days until our return for our wedding anniversary at the end of January. I can’t wait to relive this incredible experience.

A top chef serving only the finest food. Going there for 17 years and hard to believe it gets better and better each time. Massimo never disappoints with his Italian and continental master pieces. His servers have been there from day one and that says loads about this romantic gem.

Another fantastic meal at Casa Ludovico! We chose Penne a la Norcina and Veal Milanese paired with a delicious La Storia Red Zin. We shared a Lemon Sorbet to finish. Overall a great meal and a great time. Thank you!
