Pia's Trattoria

My FAVORITE restaurant we went to while staying in St Petersburg. We were able to eat on the Veranda Wednesday night around 6:30 with no wait time and the atmosphere was amazing. Our server was kind enough to take a few photos and the food was so tasty! With the music and atmosphere, I felt like I was in a little restaurant in Italy. If we ever come back to the area, this will always be a must!

My family raved about this restaurant in Gulfport, and I have to admit, I was a little skeptical—but it completely blew me away. I'm usually not a fan of bread, but theirs was absolutely incredible. The mussels in red sauce were a knockout; honestly, I could have stopped there and been perfectly happy. I also had a pasta special for my main course, which was delicious, but by then I was already completely full. The drinks were great, too. Our waiter was amazing and incredibly knowledgeable. I can't wait to go back as soon as possible!

Wow first Gulfport, FL is amazing and so much fun. We were introduced to Pia’s by a friend and we are thankful! What an amazing place with a great vibe, staff and amazing food options. We are on the veranda but they have many other options. 5 star-bruschetta, caprese salad as appetizers. 5 star entrees-veal parmigiana, roasted eggplant, shrimp scampi and fresh mussels. All dishes had homemade pasta!in Large portions. Dessert menu looked great but we were too full to eat anymore.

Fast, kind service. Food is authentic. Rustic home feel. Pricing reflects the quality without breaking the bank. Walkable and friendly neighborhood with shops, bars and local treats. Parking is possible if you get there early.

Food was delicious! I had the shrimp scampi and would highly recommend it. We also got a half loaf of the rustic ciabatta with pesto which I would say do not skip! My husband had the penne Quattro formaggi with chicken which was delicious as well, but a bit heavy for me. We had the panna cotta for dessert which was lovely. We sat outside and I enjoyed the lights and decor. They do have fans running to move the air. Overall highly recommend!

Stephanie was the absolute best we have had help us with dinner!! She is very very professional and knowledgeable in all the right ways. The food is absolutely electric, if you don't come here and try for yourself......you'll regret it for life, and not even know it!!! This 💯 is a must must 🙌 for you, house made cheesecake with blueberries 🫐!!

This was by far the BEST italian restaurant I have EVER been too. From the house made linguini to the fresh picked vegetables from their own garden this is a restaurant you don’t want to miss. I had the chicken marsala and it tastes just like my grandpa carluccis! The ciabatta and oil was to die for and husband LOVED the calamari. There wasn’t a bad plate on our table. The setting was romantic and calm and you felt like you were in Italy with your most dearest family. This is a MUST TRY!

Absolutely love Pia’s!! Beautiful Mother’s Day lunch with the whole family. Delicious! Highly recommend!! Our server Dustin was excellent!!! We loved the shrimp scampi and the gnocchi. Must try.

Pros: Ambiance, Food, Wait Staff. Cons: Seats are super uncomfortable, Bread was too Squishy, not baked enough or old, Canolli was mushy or old. Not sure if I'll return.

Great food and service will definitely bring family and friends when they come to visit us

After dropping my son off at college, we made a side quest to St. Pete Beach. I did my homework ahead of time and made a reservation at Pia's. This is a wonderful restaurant and it's housed in a beautiful building that feels very cosy. We were seated in a covered courtyard and the staff was very attentive. They have bread in either a half loaf or full loaf. They give you a shallow dish with olive oil for dipping. The menu is extensive and there's something for everyone. They also have an excellent wine list from modestly priced to the sky is the limit. Each dish was well plated and the ingredients were high quality. The desserts were exquisite, especially the tiramisu. This restaurant isn't good for St. Pete Beach. It stands up against anything you'd find in major cities. I look forward to my next visit.

Comfortable atmosphere during the weekend lunch. I tried the spezial panini that had bacon, mozzarella, tomato and arugula. The sandwich was okay: the bread was perfectly toasted but they don't put enough mozzarella on it to cover the whole sandwich so I asked for extra. I was disappointed that I wasn't told that I would be charged extra at that time and instead received a surprise on the bill. I loved the cannoli. It was a big shareable size. with a perfectly crispy shell and sweet cream.

Hands-down, my favorite restaurant in the Burg! When I first moved to St. Pete, my ad agency boss told me Pia's was his favorite restaurant in the city--and it immediately became one of mine too. I feel like I've stepped foot inside a cozy, sunlit villa in the Italian countryside, where every dish tastes like nonna's secret recipe--fresh, hearty, and passionately prepared. Pia's is warm, intimate, and irresistibly romantic, without ever feeling stuffy. It's all love and flavor. The patio is my favorite spot--even on rainy or breezy evenings, those softly glowing lamps and gentle airflow create this unbelievably cozy vibe. It's the perfect place to celebrate an anniversary or catch up with friends over big plates of pasta. It's the kind of place I pick first for anything special--a birthday, an anniversary, or just because. Trust me, you'll leave feeling spoiled, full, and already dreaming of your next visit. If you love Italian done right--with soul, freshness, and a dash of Gulfport charm--this place will quickly become your go-to.

To start the building is oozing with charm!! The whole place is Insta worthy. I wish we had gone during a slower time. I could have done a whole photoshoot there! I will keep that in mind for my next visit. We had a large group of 16 people for a celebration and everything went so smoothly! Our server was funny and professional. He gave great recommendations and kept drinks full. 16 people and 1 server and he was flawless! The food was INCREDIBLE!!! We ordered a couple of loaves of bread for the table and it was warm and chewy. So good! For appetizers we had bruschetta which was a 10 out of 10 and calamari which was not what I was expecting. So many places fry their calamari but this was just the squid. The rings were big. It surprised me! The sauce was really flavorful. For my entree I ordered the homemade tortellini that was on the specials menu and it was amazing! The server suggested adding shrimp which I did and it ended being truly delicious. Everyone at the table raved about their meals. The caprese salad and chicken marsala are calling my name! This was such a good experience! I can't wait to go back.

This charming restaurant located in the Gulfport area of St. Petersburg offers fresh homemade authentic Italian dishes. With Tuscan themed surroundings the atmosphere was welcoming. The restaurant has several rooms and a bar. Looking for vegan choices we came to the right spot. We started with refreshing mocktails. For an appetizer we started with the Tofu Caprese special $12. I had the Squash Arrabiata with wild mushrooms $27. It was all so delicious and flavorful. We finished with the decadent vegan Chocolate Cake $12. Our server Alyssa was so sweet, attentive and nice answering all our questions and very efficient. It was a great dining experience.

I ate at Pias Veranda on a Friday night and was seated right away. The atmosphere is so cute with live music and an old school italian vibe. The truffle on the beef carpaccio was so good! The shrimp scampi tasted so fresh and the noodles were thick. The food came out quickly and service was great. Will have to come back and try their dessert. Perfect date night spot.

Had been meaning to check this place out to support them since I saw post hurricane the footage of all the flooding with the wooden chairs and tables floating...and how quickly they were able to get it back up and running to open was impressive! Sat outside at the Veranda, which was great with a live band about to begin playing and we were shielded from direct sun. I'd been told I had to come here for the calamari dish and overall I'd probably say I wouldn't order it again because it was so heavy on the garlic and lemon in the butter sauce that the flavor of the calamari was buried. In contrast, the grilled octopus was such a pleasantly balanced surprise...would definitely order it again. Ambiance was a 10/10 and service was great!

SOLID 5 STARS! I'd been having a bad week, so my wing man Gary (Who's turn it was to pick a restaurant) suggested Pia's Trattoria for our outing. Before we even walked in the door, I knew this was a good restaurant. To get to the entrance you need to go up 5 steps, but for the handicapped there is a ramp next to the steps leading to an alternate entrance. A young lady manning (Womaning?) an outdoor Prosecco Bar next to the entrance noticed Gary with his walker and volunteered to get us the hostess. The hostess came out with her little iPad and confirmed our reservation for 4 PM and told us she would meet us at the alternate door at the head of the ramp to guide us to our table. I don't know how they did it, but the restaurant managed to convey antique furniture, trendy Italian decor, and a casual mood all at the same time. We were seated at a table with classic green & white checked tablecloth, REAL flowers, and a lit candle. All side walls and table dividers are wine racks, stocked with Pia's extensive wine selection. The inside seating was nice and cool, thanks to several air conditioning units on the roof. The outdoor seating is easily twice the volume of the indoor seating with 2 covered verandas and umbrella covered tables. The menus are printed daily and presented in handsome leather folders, with separate menus for the wine list and signature cocktails. Our waiter, Dia, was knowledgeable about the menu and daily specials. He also was very witty with a sense of humor; something you don't often find in wait staff. He was very conscientious about keeping water glasses filled and removing dirty plates once we had finished them. His timing in bringing out courses is impeccable! Once the food started rolling we never had to wait for our next course but we never felt rushed either. He came by TWICE with Parmesan Chunk and grater to garnish our dishes with cheese. At one point when he asked if there was anything else we wanted I jokingly asked for dancing girls. With a perfect dead pan expression he told us that was not a menu offering but he would ask the hostesses and waitresses for volunteers. On his next visit he regrettably informed me that there no takers with that same, wry, deadpan expression that left both Gary and I laughing. Dia earned every bit of his 30% tip! THE FOOD! Atmosphere and service are all great but nothing compared to the dishes themselves. Every offering was exceptionally presented, had a unique sauce, and was cooked perfectly. I started with a Strawberry Basil Tito's Vodka Martini ($14). It had a pleasant kick to it and tasted wonderful. Then I went with a Blueberry Tito's Vodka Martini with extra kick ($14 + $6) for a pleasant buzz that lasted all through the meal. Gary opted for the fresh squeezed lemonade with large lemon slice (BTW all lemons provided were large slices or lemon halves. No skimping on the lemon!). We couldn't decide on an appetizer so went with sharing the Antipasti Misto ($25), Pan Seared Calamari ($20), AND Pan Seared Octopus ($18). We also went through our complimentary Ciabatta Loaf and ordered another ($9). For our entrees I ordered the Shrimp Scampi ($29) and Gary opted for the Chicken Piccata ($30). Both dishes were drenched in a tasty sauce. By this time we were both stuffed and ended up taking most of the entrees home; Which Dia deftly packaged for us in nifty microwaveable safe containers. A 5 star meal for $180 + $50 tip. Well worth every penny and guaranteed to change your mood in a positive way!

The server Allie was phenomenal. She was extremely knowledgeable about the menu and gave great suggestions on dishes. The music was just at the right level, a great playlist. You know this restaurant cares about the quality that is coming from their kitchen. The linguine and Campanelli were made in house, so yummy. I highly recommend this for a lovely evening out.

Visited this establishment with a group of 8 people. This was my third visit to Pia's. This is good American/Italian cuisine. I tend to focus on their pasta dishes and have been served delicious entrees. Pia's lasagna is one of my favorites with lots of meat as a topping. Thumbs up from everyone on their entree selections Good wine list and very good service always. The restaurant is located in cool eclectic area with many other restaurants and bars. Parking can be challenging. You cannot go wrong with this establishment. Good price/value relationship

I've been here twice now for lunch and for a dinner and I can confidently say that Pia's is the best Italian food in Tampa. The pastas are delicious, the service is lovely, and the ambience is fantastic. The Linguini Alla Vongole at dinner is a must and the Penne Quattro Formaggi al Forno at lunch should not be missed. If you come with a large group then consider yourself lucky to be able to try as many items off the menu as possible!

Am I missing something here? People absolutely rave about Pia's but I'm just not sure where the hype comes from after my 2nd visit here. We came here for lunch on a Sunday. We ordered the following: Pesto Rosso with chicken Gnocchi with sausage 1 slice of sour orange pie Half loaf of bread, which we were not informed of the upcharge for. For everything, it was $96 including tip. I'm pretty certain the only pasta made in house is the linguini which neither of us had. Our service was adequate, but not great. Also, why have a lunch menu if it's neither lunch prices nor portions? Sure, the ambiance is great - the covered patio is intimate and adorable, but otherwise the food is really nothing outstanding. I'd maybe come back for pie and a drink, but I don't need to have another full entree from here again.

Will return. This Italian restaurant is family owned and operates, with two locations, across street from each other. The indoor one has been in biz for 20 years and the northern side of the street has mostly outdoor seating - opened three years ago. They looked rambling but is sizable. We dinned in the outdoor side because we did't have reservation on a Friday - reservation is recommended for weekends. Lush. Great atmosphere on a 67° day. Generous spacing between tables. Good service and food. Two men band plays jazz after 6pm. Reportedly their bread is excellent but we didn't order - too much to stomach. Maybe next time. Wine glasses could use something better - but the outdoor tables are on the shaky ground. So I'm resting my case -:) The house wine GL Italian cab is better than the Mont D'Abruzzo. We've - calamari (not fried) - mussels in red wine - eggplant parm They're all yummy. Large portion. No seafood fork provided for my mussels. Mussels are clean and all opened. I would have the tiramisu but I also wanted to catch the sunset. So next time too -:) Outside of the bathroom, there is cute handwriting note on the wall: "Enjoy your meal? Buy your chefs a round $20"

I our server was a complete B. A restaurant can only go so far on food and beverages. From the start, we had to wait an hour just to get in the restaurant and then once we got into the restaurant we had another hour wait for food. We were treated with the most disrespect that I've ever been witnessed to before. This restaurant only caters to the elites in the area. Do not go here.

James was our knowledge & just the right energy experience guide. The smoked salmon was delightful, even our picky 17-year-old liked it! We were lucky to snag a table, so I would definitely recommend reservations. The lasagna was delicious and served in a skillet. The spaghetti was also wonderful with homemade meat-sauce. Hands down authentic Italian! Fantastic Italian wine selection.

Let me start off by saying this is more of a 4 1/2 star review. I'll get into the 1/2 star less later. We never been to the Gulfport area as this restaurant was a recommendation and a great one at that! We did a double date night and had a great time! We ordered 2 apps with one being the Carpaccio and the other being the Calamari. I've had better Carpaccio so I will def pass on this next time whereas the Calamari was pan seared and delicious! Also please ask for bread and once we did, we were provided with an accompanying olive oil + roasted red pepper delight! Don't sleep on this ask! For the main event, I went with their Lasagna which was served in a cast iron skillet. Amazing! I was def order this again but maybe not finish it! Ha. The less 1/2 star was for their Old Fashioned. I did not care for ice used for this as I knew it was one of those drinks, you just don't order from a joint like this. I should've stuck with wine. Service was great and attentive and know parking was limited but possible to find a spot! We will be back in the future.

Tastes like home cooked. There is nothing better than a fresh bowl of pasta with tomato sauce. This place makes a very satisfying bowl of pasta. The bread is glorious and the red pelee dipping squad is for dipping everything. The place is nice, we went to the garden and although hot we were in the shade and it was perfect. Service is quick and friendly. Great for families.

We went to the Saturday night market in Gulfport. Happy to see business opened back up and busy vendors. Stopped in at Pia's for dinner. We sat on the Veranda side and enjoyed beverages and watched all the doggies with their families. We enjoyed the special house salad, focaccia bread and chicken Marsala. The highlight was the lemon lavender cheesecake! Light and delicious! Pia's is always the highlight! Enjoy and support the local community as they continue to rebuild better than ever. Xoxo

This is a local favorite and has become a must go Italian spot when I'm in the area. Locally owned for over 15 years this place was packed when my friends and I stopped by on a Friday. We ordered everything from the meatballs, pork shank over risotto, smoked salmon and mussels. Shout out to our server Hailey she was sweet, kind and patient with us. She knew all of the great options and highly recommend on going with what she says. All of the dishes were amazing and I would order them again. The risotto was cooked perfectly and the pork was fall off the bone when it got to the table. The salmon and mussels were also delicious. The mussels portion was so generous it was a lot for the 3 of us. There is a smaller restaurant and a large one with private dining areas next door. I loved the interior dark lighting with an old rustic feel. The cocktails here are also good and they have 10% off bottles of wine with Yelp check in. The staff here work well together. Everything here is made fresh in house. It was fun to here about the restaurants history and how Hailey served traveling snow birds every couple of months. They also feature an extensive gluten free and vegan dishes including cocktails as well. We really enjoyed our experience here and will definitely be back.

Food is great, service great and ambience great! We enjoyed beans, bruschetta, salad, pasta with clams, eggplant Parmesan, tiramisu. Yum!

I actually really enjoyed my meal here! I'm so sad that I got full and loaded up on bread cause I hardly put a dent in my food The drinks were really good and our waiter was informative and nice! Food: 4 cheese pasta with their in house linguini and chicken 9.5/10 Veal Parmesan 8/10 Braised short rib 8/10 but very fatty Cappuccino 7/10 The bread was extra and not complimentary. It was bread lol not anything fancy. Ambiance was super cute and Tuscany like. There's indoor and outdoor seating. The outdoor seating is covered. I'd definitely come back! The birthday girl got a cute cannoli treat as well which was sweet!

My partner and I treated his parents here tonight for their Anniversary! They frequent here often and speak very highly of the restaurant so we were excited to try! The ambiance and food were amazing! We ordered a platter board and a soft shell crab appetizer (crab was a special). The main dishes ordered were Mussels, Veal Piccata, Eggplant parm, and Shrimp Scampi. We also had the Tiramisu and Flourless chocolate cake for dessert! I really want to give a special shout out to Dustin! He was sweet, really knowledgeable and offered us great suggestions when we were ordering, but above all he was really attentive! I haven't had such great customer service in a restaurant in so long! My partner and I are visiting from Seattle so it was nice to have such a skilled and happy server!! We all appreciated Dustin so much!

This place is super deceiving. On the outside we weren't sure if it was open after the storm as many of the local places are not. They are in fact open. We had a large party for a bachelorette and Stephy our server was excellent. She managed a loud, large group and took excellent care of us. Drinks were made well, everything came out fast. The food was unreal. It was legitimately true authentic Italian food. No complaints from the group and we all enjoyed. Cute inside and outdoor seating. I highly recommend their calamari and linguini and clams. All linguini is homemade! The Italian martini was delicious too. Anything you choose you will like! Wish we lived closer.

Perfect. We went to Pia's after a friend recommended it. Glad we did. Fantastic food. Great atmosphere. The wine selection was impressive. I would definitely recommend this little gem for date night or family outing! Thank you Pia's!!!!

We discovered this little gem during our vacation to St. Pete Beach, and it was such a pleasant surprise. The restaurant is full of charm and located in a lovely, quaint neighborhood. They were able to seat our party of seven quickly, even without a reservation, which we really appreciated. The menu had a great variety of vegan options, which was a big plus. I had the lasagna, and it was absolutely delicious--rich, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Everyone in our group enjoyed their meals. Highly recommend this spot if you're in the area!

Very kind staff, the food was perfect, I recommend everything, next time I will pay for some of their fresh bread before dinner and with dinner. Nice ambience, very pleasant place to spend some time . Don't miss the desert. They are all very good. The prices are what you would expect in today's market. I would like to have a pasta spoon when served pasta. Also, do not order the food until you're ready for it because it shows up very fast and the drinks show up very slow, so buy a bottle of wine or pre-order your next round while you still have some drink in front of you

This food at Pia's was phenomenal. I got the shrimp scampi With clams instead of shrimp. The clams were great They were cooked to perfection. Also, the service was great. The server kept coming by asking me if we need anything, gave us the menu and some suggestions of desserts to eat afterwards also the server turned on the fan and placed it towards me because I was a very hot day. I really appreciated the service and the food was just great. I recommend anybody from the area to go check it out it'll definitely be worth it!

Absolutely Amazing food..... The Muscles in White Wine Garlic were incredible. Staff was friendly and very accommodating. The old home, turned restaurant was so very cool, with a very chic outdoor area.

This place is a hidden gem! The mussels were sooo flavorful and perfectly cooked. The caprese salad and smoked salmon plate were fresh, light, and beautifully plated. We wrapped it all up with a bold double espresso cappuccino, service was on point with great recommendations, Italian vibes from start to finish.

We were really excited to come here & the food was honestly amazing. What made me give a three was unfortunately there was a huge dead roach right at the entrance of the bathroom and the knife that was in my silverware set was dirty. The walls & place in general looks old & dirty, not sure if that's just part of the look but if not they definitely need to work on their upkeep. Food and drinks were amazing, HUGE portions, the pasta dishes are big enough for two. Our server was amazing, very helpful in making recommendations, one of which was to try their house made linguini which did not disappoint, it was phenomenal but beware of the $2 up charge for it that they did not tell us about. They said they make the linguini fresh everyday so seemed (and was) worth it. They also have a separate restaurant next door with the same name which could get confusing as well. Overall, great food & service but please give this place a good, deep clean & refresh.

Food was delicious. Ambiance is nice especially when you're seated outside, but it feels like you're inside with the covered patio. Their gf options were delicious and I would recommend. Definitely get a reservation as wait times without one can be difficult. Service was very knowledgeable and friendly.

Just ate here again for the first time in over ten years, and - boom - home run city, population me. Our fabulous server (I wish I remembered his name, but he was a tall and lovely man) was so utterly perfect. Attentive and delightful, and chock full of info. A good server really seals the deal on an elite-level dining experience. The bread...my lord! I ordered the 8 dollar full loaf, expecting it to be a mini loaf like at a Carrabba's or such, but no. This was a full size giant loaf of warm bread, which we (somehow) over the course of the meal ate the entire thing. The linguine with clams was perfection, as was the Alfredo variant. The prices at Pia's are incredibly, shockingly reasonable. That 8 dollar loaf of bread would be 15 dollars downtown. My entrée would have easily been 10-15 dollars more at any other Italian place in the area. The value alone makes Pia's a mandatory future go-to for anytime I have a pasta craving. Knocking the 5-star home run out of the park is the atmosphere. Quaint and homey and full of character. A Gulfport classic. I'm so glad I came back.

The eggplant parm was the best thing I've ever put into my mouth. Like, seriously, I haven't stopped yapping about it. Every dish was perfectly cooked and I swear my friend and I had a holy experience with our meal. Our server was lovely with knowledgeable recommendations for wine and dish choices. To complement the amazing food and service, the restaurant itself was giving very comforting, homey, vibes; like I was going to my Italian grandmother's house to eat dinner. The price point was very reasonable for the quality of the menu. 10/10 I will be going back and eat my way through the whole menu.

We love everything about Pia's! The service is always friendly, and prompt and the ambiance is cozy inside, and lively with music outside. We had the mussels this time(my favorite in st Pete) and the portions as always great!

We came to this place Wednesday after lunch. The place looks nice, and the service was good. We ordered a whole loaf of bread, a caprese salad, linguine al pesto, penne Quattro formaggi, and eggplant parmigiana. The only good thing about the whole food was the bread and the salad! The penne Quattro formaggi consisted of cream cheese and heavy cream. On top of the subpar food we received, all 5 of us got sick afterward! Terrible!

We made reservations, but decided we would rather sit inside at the bar. The food was great. I got the four cheese penne pasta and they grate fresh Parmesan cheese on top. Next time I would ask for no arugula. It doesn't need. This is best cheesy pasta I've had, it's like adult mac n cheese. My friend liked her chicken piccata. The cocktails were amazing. We both liked the strawberry basil gin martini. We shared the smoked salmon appetizer. Fresh salmon good portions. We both agreed we would ask for no arugula with that too. We will definitely return.

Everything was GREAT. Great atmosphere, great service, and great Italian food. The best you can get in Florida.

Nice restaurant with really good food! Everything that we order was delicious. Highly recommended! I can't wait to come back.

Cute place in Gulfport. We have been here many times for many years. Unfortunately quality of food went south. Maybe since expanded to next door? Tonight shrimp scampi was far far from good. I can tell pasta was cooked in advanced and cluster stick together and weirdly hard that can't even twirl. Risotto was very bland and way too mushy. Disappointed. Not really want to go back. It's sad because used to be good!

This place is worth the hype. Great service and really really good food. Make sure you try the mussels best I've ever had

I'm not sure which was better, the food or the service, as both were outstanding! I've been eating at Pia's since they first opened years ago, they've grown larger and even better since then, and it's no mystery why they've expanded the way they have... Outstanding food, very professional and friendly service, and amazing atmosphere. During GeckoFest the place was jumping, but they seated our party of three quickly, our server was absolutely the most attentive of any of the last dozen restaurants I've been to, and my brother (a picky eater and on his first time to Pia's) was suitably impressed! My wife and I each ordered the spaghetti squash version of a decadent pasta dish (I added large, roasted shrimp to mine), and the tiramisu was amazing. It looks like we have a new place to go on double dates with our wives!

Only our second ever visit to Pia's which is so terrible considering how close we live. This place is so wonderful! The atmosphere is fantastic. We ended up at the veranda since we didn't have a reservation. We waited just about 30minutes which is totally fine since Gulfport is a nice area to walk. We had live music which was relaxing. I had a lovely glass of wine. Our waitress was so kind and perfectly attentive. Our food was incredible! Do not skip on the gnocchi guys!!! Skip the pesto pasta. It's good but man I'll be getting that gnocchi again and again.

Been here twice and each time was a miss for everyone in my party. Personally it lacks the flavor I look for in Italian cuisine. The restaurant is beautifully set up however the first time we went they sat us outside during a chillier night with no heaters near our table and we had a larger party. The server just kept saying sorry they are being used by other patrons. The next time we sat inside and there were a few dogs that were clearly not service animals. I love my dog but it's a time and place for everything. Servers have been very helpful and attentive which makes me want to give it another try. But honestly I think it's just not the place for me or my family.

My favorite restaurant in Pinellas county. The ambiance is great. You feel like you are in Italy! The food is absolutely delicious!

The food was exceptional. However, it is best to make a reservation because the weather can change instantly especially when you are dinning outside. Also if you attract to mosquitoes, please remember to spray some insecticide. I got bitten 4 times in a span of sitting outside for 30 minutes. And sudden thunderstorm interrupted our dinner. Not only we were soaked but we couldn't really enjoy dinner. Again please make a reservation and don't do walk ins because they will seat you outside.

This was one of the last stops on my tour de Italian food in Tampa Bay. Between the food, service, ambiance, price, location, and overall experience, Pia's scores #1! We truly had a fabulous experience. We had a large party of 13, but that did not impact the timeliness or quality of service. My glass was never empty and the food came out quickly. I found the food to be delicious and classic, everything I would hope for in a classic Italian meal. To start, we got the antipasti misto, bruschetta, calamari, and mussels. Surprisingly, the bruschetta and charcuterie blew me away. I tried a taste of the chicken parm, penne quattro formaggi Al forno, pesto verde, lasagna, and chicken piccata with vegetables - Lasagna was the winner in my book. There's also nothing quite like fresh fluffy bread and oil to prepare the body for what's ahead. We also had two gluten-free folks in our party and they really appreciated the gluten-free bread loaf and abundant options for them. Anyways, I highly recommended Pia's if you're looking for delicious Italian food and a fun little evening. If you're really looking to stretch out your night, the wine bar down the road is a great place for some pre-dinner drinks or a nightcap. Cheers!

It was sooo charming! I loved the pesto verde pasta. My friends did not enjoy their food:/
