    The place was actually so amazing. One of my new favorite spots. My boyfriend and I went there for our anniversary dinner and right when you walk in everyone welcomes you, the inside is so aesthetic looking, the food was AMAZING, and the drinks were so cute and fun. We had Mateo as our waiter and he made us feel so special the whole time and was very sweet. Probably one of the best service experiences I’ve had in a long time

    Wow. Just wow! Not only is this restaurant absolutely stunning from the outside and inside but the service js impeccable. We truly felt like friends / family of our waiter, Oscar. He walked us through the menu, specials, his favorites and we got to know him as well! We never had to wait for anything. Bread and water was at the table immediately followed by our drinks and app. Oscar is the best in the business for sure. Not only that but the chef actually walks around and talks to each table. He was so sweet, he even told me how to make their white wine sauce. The manager also came up a few times. Everyone was so nice. I also put a note in that we were celebrating a huge accomplishment in my boyfriend’s career and they surprised us/him with champagne and a delicious tiramisu. We will definitely become regulars there and will bring all of our friends and family. Thank you for such a special night!

    Besides the Black Pearl this is the most fine dining restaurant you can get without having to cross a Bridge to Tampa or St Pete. It’s priced a such. You are getting the ambiance and the experience and you are paying for that. Yes need to be in the mood to pay up for an experience otherwise you will be unhappy with the cost. I’m not even an Italian food lover (I’m Asian or fusion food all day - I’m Korean) but I think the pasta and dishes here are very good. I usually bring groups when I come here and no matter what when I order for the group the Ciro Sacottini is the crowd pleaser. The only exception is if a person doesn’t like truffle at all. I have maybe brought 30-40 people total to this restaurant entertaining and 99% all day this is the best thing on the menu.

    We had the pleasure of meeting our waiter, Daniel, who was real attentive, engaging and answered our questions. The food was remarkably delicious especially the oysters and the egg pasta made purely with black truffle. Highly recommend this place right in Clearwater!
