128 3rd St S, St. Petersburg, 727-896-8226

It just has such a good vibe and everyone's having a good time when you're there. This is a really fun spot for groups, for dates, or girls night out and they have a fully stocked bar which is a plus. They also have indoor and outdoor seating, and they also have an upper level too. I'm going to keep coming here because the food is great and the ambience is awesome too!” -Jeanne-Marie D.

9. Mazzaro’s Italian Market

2909 22nd Ave N, St. Petersburg, 727-321-2400
“As soon as I walked in I was mesmerized by the amplitude of culinary delights. Not a place you can stop into quickly and in my opinion, better than a full day pass at any amusement park. I feel it may be impossible to shop for one meal or just a quick lunch here. We ate, we enjoyed wine and stocked up on deli meats, cheeses, wine and breads. If you are ever in the St. Petersburg area "get yo booty in here!" You will be glad you did!” -Steven O.
