vino e pasta

this is such a nice little cozy italian restaurant.  the service is always excellent, and theplacejust has a warm neighborhood vibe to it.  this is my go-to italian when i want quiet, intimate, and unpretentious.

absolutely wonderful. this was a most rewarding dining experience. the service was excellent, the food was superb and the dessert was extraordinary. it is a smallplaceand that is probably makes it so good. i had the veal marsala and the veal was sliced very thin and tender enough to cut with a fork. the pasta side was not overcooked. i had the tiramisu for dessert and it was simply to die for. i lived and worked in italy for two years and this was as good an italian restaurant meal as i have had since i left. i talked to the owner and his comment to me was "i try to bring a little bit of italy to my restaurant every day". i am on business here in tampa and thisplaceis now on my must visit list whenever i am in town. thank you urbanspoon for helping me find this gem.

good italian food. good food , good prices. a great littleplacethat gives you a break from the biog chains.
