Pizzitalia's

If you go understanding this is a New York style Italian-American eatery, then expectations will be met, although the pizza misses the mark. Wouldn’t consider it a pizzeria per se. Very informal, small conveniently located restaurant with American pasta classics from spaghetti & meatballs to fettuccine Alfredo with a variety of other dishes, subs, & pizzas. Dishes are prepared in rich, heavy sauces with quite a few fried options. Overall, menu is not for the light eater but this makes for a great value if you’re more focused on budget than health, rich flavors over waistline. To my surprise, entrees are especially budget-friendly as they’re served with a fresh salad & giant garlic knots, & portions are big enough for leftovers. Small but appropriate beer & wine menu. Casual but buttoned u

We were new trying this restaurant we walked in and was told pick our table. We sat down the two ladies were very loud talking about how they were disgruntle about their schedule we almost got up and left. But the server finally came over and gave us menus very nice. We ordered gf pizza, pizza and egg plant parmesan. All was excellent. The egg plant came with salad and too die for bread knots. We will be back.

We generally have had great experiences with meals here, not sure what happened last night. We ordered a Sicilian pizza and it arrived fully burnt, inedible. There needs to be some sort of quality control for dishes being sent to customers, no way this pie should have made its way out the door. Still, given good experiences in the past, we will try again.

Sooo I ordered some food on doordash and we were so happy we found this spot! The spaghetti and meatballs, the salad, garlic knots and cannolis were all on point! I miss my Italian food from NY & NJ so much, so this brought me back ❣️🥲 The garlic knots were thicker and alot more doughier than I am used to.. but not bad. We can't wait to dine in soon.

Dinner was great. We ordered chicken florentine and pasta and clams. The chicken was very tender with lots of cheese and some artichokes and a little spinach served over a lemon sauce that was very good. For the pasta and clams the clams were served in the shell which was a really nice touch. The sides a cup of soup and garlic knots were plentiful. I order the tiramisu for dessert and it probably was the best I’ve had in Tampa.
