Antonio's Pasta Grille, Tampa

My girlfriend and I visited Antonio s Pasta Grille on a weekend night, and from the moment we walked in I knew that we were going to enjoy our experience. Even though they did not seem to be very busy, maybe because it was pretty late in the evening; the hostess was very pleasant and the smell of italian food was definitley in the air. The service was amazing from the start; she was very attentive and full of smiles!!! The calamari that we ordered as an appetizer was lightley breaded and perfectley seasoned; the house salads that came before our main dishes, were very fresh. I had the peppercorn dressing and my girlfriend had the parmasean vinegarette, which were by the way to die for. Our shrimp and scallops grand marnier and lasagna that were ordered as our entree s were both so delicious(full of flavor and well worth the money)***we even had leftovers, that we enjoyed again later the next day*** We made sure that we saved room for dessert, which from our friends experience, already knew they were going to be big enough to share. We ordered the tiramisu and were very satisfied(made with lady fingers), just like we wanted; we would definitley order it again. Everything was very reasonabley priced and well worth every penny. We both enjoyed our experience and will without question be back and would recommend the restaraunt to any and everyone!!!

quaint family atmosphere - friendly staff & good food the service makes the difference.
