I took my GF out for dinner before attending the Ballet. It was both our first times, and while it was beautiful, the din inside was so loud. It was hard ro have a conversation with my companion. The food was ok, the Chicken Parmesan was dry, and hard to chew. My friend loved her duck, except the broccoli was pretty raw. Overall an Ok experience. read more

"Recommended to us" The atmosphere was beautifully inviting. The choice of colors were warm. Long and very tall walls accentuated with these long oversized windows all made your eyes wonder around the room. Decor wonderful. The service was top notch, shout out to BOB!! Greeted us, sat us, was very knowledgeable about the food options, very accommodating, kind, professional and took very good care of us during our dinner. The food arrived reasonably quickly, was hot, seasoned to perfection and so tasty! I ventured with the Diablo shrimp & crab sauce over spaghetti, hubby went with the sausage, peppers & onions over his choice of Penne. We very much enjoyed our experience here, food well done. Kiss to the chef highly recommended for a tastebud adventure read more

Bernini - Chicken Parm, delicious!! Great martinis as well! - Italian Near Me - Tampa, Florida

This spot used to be a bank and it has absolutely beautiful architecture. The service was amazing and the food was delicious. We shared the pizza di Parma and the cigar city chop salad. One of the best parts was the $4 Espresso Martinis - yes, $4. They were tasty and the perfect amount of liquor in it also. I would definitely like to return! read more

Happy hour goes crazy. 3$ martinis (although slightly less than a regular server but the amount of booze is solid) AND half off pasta/entrees. Coming out drunk with 2 people for 50 bucks and great food. Cooked pesto oysters and pasta is 8.5/10. Also restaurant is in an old bank from back in the day. Vibe is great. read more

Bernini had a happy hour that ended at 7pm with $3 martinis. The restaurant was packed upstairs and down stairs. Happy hour was only at the bar and there was no space at the downstairs bar. We found seats at the upstairs bar. The $3 martinis were good. The food that we saw pass by us being served to other people looked amazing ! read more

I used to go to Bernini every Sunday 10 years ago because I was obsessed with the veal lasagna. Stopped in yesterday to see if it was still as amazing a decade later... it is! The sauce is to die for. I'd eat it on anything. Also, those Ybor Oysters... *chef kiss* it's been so hard to find great oysters lately and those were so good, I had to order another round after the first and then I convinced the guy at the bar to order some too! I know this seems fat, but I also ordered the duck entree. I'm not a sweet and savory person so I was unsure about the cherry demi-glaze and the chef came over and offered me a sample of a lemony caper sauce she thought would be a great accompaniment and she was right! It was so good, I poured some on the oysters too and asked for some to take home. I came in during happy hour when all the entrees were half off and the martinis were $3 each and I had 4 martinis... so maybe it was the alcohol tasting my food for me, but I wouldn't have it any other way! read more

We had a great evening at Bernini's. We made a reservation and were seated promptly. The waiter was quick to the table giving us recommendations and taking our drink orders. I ordered the veal lasagna, my wife a soup and salad. Our friends order similar meals. The meals came out fast and the food was great! Add the fact we came during the 1/2 off time frame and not only is the food excellent it is very reasonably priced. We did not get drinks this visit but will make it a point next time and for sure there will be a next time. The venue is a little loud, but not too bad. I used to visit this place quite a bit when I worked downtown, it is still as good as it was. read more

Love the feel when you walk in the door! The food was amazing and a great place for a business lunch with clients.

Every day from 4-7pm $3 Espresso Martinis. Once again $3 Espresso Martinis. It isn't limited to just Espresso Martinis either. It's actually all martinis on the page of the menu I'll take a pic of. How does this restaurant not advertise $3 Espresso Martinis everywhere? I bet their business would 100x overnight. I also, had the Tortelloni Carbonara half off for $18. Who knew this was the best happy hour in all of Tampa Bay? Apparently I've been living under a rock. I thought the pasta was good not great. Fine for $18. The regular price of $36 would definitely be on the overrated side. I'll for sure be back to enjoy more $3 Espresso Martinis. read more

Bernini's never fails to deliver great food. We were a party of three and started with the lamb chop appetizers. So great and the seasonings spectacular. My husband and friend had the crispy fried duck which they said was wonderful. I had the salmon with vegetables. I told them I wanted my salmon more on the rare side and it was perfect. The expresso martini was good as well as my husbands manhattan. read more

Walked by and decided to try. Had a small wait before being seated. The restaurant smells of Italian cheeses which smelled so good. Got a happy hour drink before ordering (strawberry basil gimlet) very light and refreshing. Ordered the bruschetta and focaccia bread for apps. The bread was average but the bruschetta was very good!!! Only three pieces... For Main we got the chicken parm and the ravioli! The ravioli was very good minus the chicken which was slightly dry. The parm was also good but the noodle part was very average. Service was great and we didn't need to ask for anything. Would recommend a try if you're in the area . read more

My friends and I enjoyed our visit to Bernini's. We decided to go here for happy hour after work on a Friday. It was a good choice! The staff were welcoming and it definitely gave the Italian style vibe inside. The tables were pretty close on the first floor, but we were able to manage. They had $3 martinis with a variety of flavors. They have happy hour from 11:30am-7pm. There was also 50% off pastas and entrees from 3-7pm. What a great deal! We got the calamari for our appetizer. It was perfectly crispy and had great flavor. For our meals, we all decided to get pasta. They were all pretty good. read more

Ah such a great quaint place to visit. This place is sooo worth it!!! Its in the heart of Ybor city, about a block or so away from garage parking or pay for street parking. We the ladies from work all went for lunch to celebrate my birthday. Bruschetta was delish! From Caesar salad, steak sandwich w/ garlic fries, margarita pizza and chicken parmigiana all were amazing! We can safely say that every dish we had was Delicious and filling. Of course we got desserts and each tried each one, tiramisu, chocolate cake and cassata cake. Great sweet treats! Go and check this place out if you love Italian food! Server could have said Happy Birthday but he didn't.... I could be petty. read more

It's been 7 years coming back to berninis. It was sad whoever is managing this place has lost their care. It used to be a place to go. Staff mediocre at best. High end prices and shaker cheese. Doesn't seem staff care. Dirty, crap left out. Nobody really seems to care. Tall bartender apathetic. This place deserves to die off. Really a two star No wonder it was slow. Owner need to step up read more

Went to Bernini last night with a friend. I was a little scared to have Italian somewhere not in the NYC area, but this place blew me out of the water! The waiter was so kind and helpful. The ambiance was cool. I loved that they kept the old bank sign. For an appetizer, we had the fried calamari: perfection. I loved that it came with not only marinara sauce, but also a lemon sauce and a spicy sauce. All 3 had great flavor! For dinner, my friend got the Shrimp orecchiette and said he loved it. I had the Pizza di Parma- obsessed! I loved the blend of flavors between the red sauce, the mozzarella, the prosciutto and the balsamic. A must try if you're in the Tampa area! read more

Great food , friendly service, thd place has a cool Big city vibe! Have ordered several different dishes and all have been amazing!

My daughter and I went to Bernini's in Ybor City last night for a much-needed mother-daughter evening, and it was absolutely perfect. From the famous $3 martinis (which did not disappoint!) to the delicious white pizza, everything was spot on. We sat on the patio, enjoying the atmosphere and people-watching, which made the experience even better. The vibe was lively, the food was tasty, and the overall experience was truly amazing. It was the kind of night you leave feeling refreshed and grateful. Highly recommended--we will definitely be back. read more

I will round up and give this place a four star. I've passed this restaurant multiple times but never went in. Well, I went for a girls happy hour on a random weekday and was thoroughly impressed. The inside was cozy and our waiter was great. He made sure to get all our meals in before the happy hour ender. I was very impressed with the raviolis in the pesto cream sauce. The sauce was delicious! The shrimp and grits and fettuccine bolognese were also very good. Will definitely be going back. read more
