TJ's Italian Cafe

Very nice place. When we first arrived it was pretty shortly after they opened and they only had one server waiting on the 4 tables. Despite being by herself she was very attentive and did her best. We ordered the stuffed mushrooms and antipasto. Both were excellent and tried the shrimp and asparagus pizza which was also very good and an unexpected flavor type!

We had a great experience overall at this Italian spot. The menu offers some unique and interesting twists on classic dishes, which was refreshing. The pizza was definitely a standout—crispy, flavorful, and clearly made with care. That said, the seafood and steak dishes didn’t quite live up to the price point. They were good, but not particularly memorable for what they cost. Service was excellent—Chris took great care of us and made the evening even more enjoyable. Friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. Would definitely return, especially for the pizza and the atmosphere, but would be a bit more selective next time with the pricey entrees.

We had such a great experience at TJ’s! Shelby was our server and she was incredibly professional and welcoming from the moment we sat down. She made us feel so comfortable and really added to the whole dining experience. We ordered the pork osso buco, Italian wedding soup, and the antipasto — everything was absolutely delicious. You can tell a lot of care goes into the food and the service. Shelby was attentive, friendly, and made the night even better. We’ll definitely be coming back!

My first time dining at TJ’s last night and it was such a great experience! Shelby was our server and truly made the night wonderful. Her recommendations were spot on — the chicken limon and the filet were honestly some of the best we’ve had around here. Everything was delicious and the service was amazing. We will definitely be back. Thank you, Shelby!

My wife stopped here for dinner while visiting Indian Rocks. We were greeted and seated on the porch. My first observation was that the menus had not been wiped down. They had visible stains on them and honestly were unclean. My second observation was that the bathrooms were not tidy. Visible urine on the floor and just unkept as a whole. After being seated and approached by our waiter, it took 10 minutes to bring our Cokes. The pizza came pretty fast and honestly was good. The biggest disappointment was that a coke was $6.24. A COKE. 2 sodas cost the price of our pizza. We weren’t even offered a refill. Mayra was our waitress. At no establishment should a soft beverage cost nearly $7. That alone will be the reason we don’t return.
