Best Authentic Restaurants in Land O' Lakes

Dinner date with my wife and it was just great! The service was appropriately handled, the food was just fantastic and the whole experience very enjoyable. We’ll definitely be back with the family.

Quality Foods Market always offers up an unbelievable restaurant experience. Chef Chris personally provides a huge part of the service experience, while also preparing all of the food. Both the food and service are executed to perfection, and I don't think there is a better restaurant in Tampa. We went with the grilled branzino and gnocchi. OMG both were amazing. The branzino had crispy skin that was SO GOOD! The fish itself was flaky and buttery moist and the lemon caper sauce on top was to die for. The gnocchi was nothing short of perfection. Rich and creamy with lots of truffle! We even had the privilege of spending time with Chef Chris at the end of the night, where he sat with our table for 30 minutes, enjoying a glass of wine and giving us some travel advice since since we are going to Italy later this year.

Food was excellent. Sangria was THE BEST but they only had enough for my friend and I to have ONE glass! They said they were out and we were the first customers of the day!!!! That was disappointing. Wait staff was quite nice and knowledgeable about the menu but had to wait what we felt was an excessive time for check then again for check to be processed. Overall great evening however.

Don Julio’s has a great staff and great food, the flavors are on point and authentic, los sabores son increíbles. One of my favorites.

We had a great time, the food was amazing even my mother enjoyed her dinner.
