    Great service and delicious food! Got a great behind the scenes experience with Tony. I had the mac n cheese, garlic bread, and chicken picatta, all of them were really good and homemade. Looking forward to going again.

    Meaty Lasagna

    This place is an amazing cute hidden gem family owned. The food is very flavorful and always delicious! The issue is figuring out what to eat. Everything is hands down delicious! Must try them out the have a menu of almost everything! I will definitely be back soon!!

    Fried Cheese Medallions & The Godfather Panino

    Chef Tony Macaroni is back in action and serving up his amazing food!!! Amazing new spot, same great menu, and certainly a must try! His homemade cheese medallions and The GodFather Panino were amazing. Fresh ingredients, quality products and SOOOO much food. You're missing out if you haven't eaten here.

    I decided they today was an excellent day to take a ride down to Gunn highway and see Chef Tony's new place. I started with some fried ravioli, which was top notch. Buttery, oozy cheese, fresh and delicious. The sausage, peppers and onion sandwich is also amazing. Honestly you can't get this sandwich anywhere else in Tampa, it's definitely the most authentic style I've had. The side salad --- dear lord almighty! His croutons are the best period. Ingredients are fresh. You can t go wrong with the food here at all. They are working on moving into a permanent building by this summer, and I hope that goes well for Tony and his staff!

    My hairstylist tipped me into searching for 'chef owned restaurants' in search of higher quality menu items. Located right behind Lowry park zoo inside an American legion it was easy to miss. As you enter there is a small opening to order / pickup and what looks to be an outdoor dining area . When asked over the phone when the order would be ready her response was 'i don't know it's being cooked now' I like to be organized with my sons after school and sports schedule so that threw me off a bit . We had the chicken parmigiana 3/5 ,meatball with spaghetti (4/5) I would ask for light sauce as it's very heavy and felt more soup based . Mussels 5/5 cooked to perfection and sauce was light yet flavorful . Chicken wings were nicely seasoned however still raw in the middle . A burger which I figured how can you go wrong with a burger . My son stated it tasted like cardboard in addition to being still raw as well . Overall I really liked the flavors but combined with the customer service experience and uncooked food i probably won't be coming back for safety reasons.

    Fried Ravioli appetizer| Chef Tony | Seminole Heights- Tampa FL | January 14, 2022

    I have seen so much hype around Chef Tony Macaroni, I knew I needed to take my husband with me to finally try it! My fellow Instagram foodies- fourfoodfreaks, getinmybellytampa and feedingtampabaes were not wrong on this recommendation! An absolute gem of a top tier culinary spot hidden in the Seminole Heights American Legion! Savory Italian dishes just like nonna used to make right here friends! We started with the fried raviolis, served with Chef Tony's tangy pomodoro sauce and the cheesy garlic bread topped with his hand pulled fresh mozzarella- yes I said fresh made mozzarella!!! That being said, I really needed more of the housemade mozz so I ordered the chicken parmigiana with fettuccine- absolutely divine! Mr. Lombardo (see how I planted the fact we actually know what good Italian food should taste like!) had the macaroni bolognese and lapped it up!! He was a good husband and gave me several roasted garlic cloves he found in his sauce- he knows garlic is my favorite vegetable! It was sweet, buttery and melted in my mouth! I tried his dish and he tried mine and came to the conclusion this was the best Italian food we've had all year ;) Seriously, it was the best we've had in a LONG time! We finished our Italian feast with the cannolis- mama Mia- spectacular! I was a bit leary when I saw it tucked in the American Legion but it was honestly super fun and friendly in there! Great music, cheap drinks, casino games and pool!! TampaFoodMom will definitely be back!

    A true hidden Gem! Located inside the American Legion building that is open to the public! (Closed Sunday and Monday) Plentiful parking available. You can dine in, order delivery or to-go. Portion sizes are huge! Love the sliced HOMEMADE mozzarella salad as an appetizer and the fried cheese medallions (perfect cheese pulls!) The menu has a variety of options-sandwiches, burgers, salads, heroes, and a wide selection of macaroni (pasta) such as seafood, chicken and meat. My favorites were the penne alla vodka and the chicken parmigiana. Don't forget to save room for the cannolis for dessert!

    My favorite Italian in town, it's literally so affordable and the portions are insane. Tabitha and Chef Tony are so kind and caring, you can really tell they have such a passion for food.

    Perfect hole in the wall restaurant, located right inside Seminole post. Walking past you might miss it but luckily it's open to the public and you don't need to be a member or a veteran to enjoy it. it's also on all the major delivery sites if you can't make it inside. Amazing tasting pasta, even better cannolis. When you go you MUST try the chicken parm, fried mozzarella, and cannolis because holy mother Theresa ‍ tastes like how i imagine a true Italian in italy would cook. absolutely delicious!

    Ordered the chicken parm and the eggplant parm. The sauce was sickly sweet, and ruined both dishes. Very unfortunate.

    The desserts do not disappoint…read more We made a last-minute decision to come get dessert here after dinner. I want to say we arrived about 930, and found out that we were the last table they were going to accept. So make sure you double check what time they will take walk-ins for dessert. I feel like everyone knows this, but just in case the dessert room is all upstairs and each table is in its own private little room. We were right next to the piano player so we got to hear his playing. Otherwise, if you're a little farther away, then you can choose music in your room, but for us, his piano playing would've definitely drowned out. His piano playing was beautiful though, so I'm not complaining. You can pick up a phone and request songs, which we did. For dessert we got the peanut butter truffle and the vintage lush chocolate sundae. We switched out the ice cream in the sundae for the macadamia ice cream. Everything was super rich and delicious. You need to have a major sweet tooth to eat here, because the desserts were punch you in the face sweet. It is Valet only in Valet is eight dollars. They do let you tip with card, which is nice. Service here is fantastic and everyone is dressed to impressed. This is old school Tampa. So don't expect any modern decor. It's all dark woods and velvet feeling. This is definitely an experience that I think everybody would love.

Every detail was thoughtfully curated. Perfection plus! I can't wait to come back.

Little pricey but to be expected. Now the sundaes are insane! Watching them make it was pretty neat- they newly have a non-dairy strawberry which I felt went perfect with with Strawberry sundae that stood out to me! Mind you I can have dairy but my stomach definitely prefers less is better! LOL I did not try my friends brownie one but she really liked it. Honestly you can likely order the size mini because it really isn't so mini and perfect size to actually finish! My friend got the regular and had to toss likely the amount in difference between our two sizes because she was full and we had no way with our hotel room to freeze the leftovers. I'd definitely recommend.

    How can one go wrong with ice cream and delicious treats??U can't!!…read more Upon entering the Hampton Chocolate Factory in Sparkman's Warf.. I loved the black, white and red decor, extremely chic and feeling high end when I walked in. This is not your average ice-cream shop, as they offer an array of flavors and assortment of candies from different countries. The service was good but short staffed, there were 3 people working and it was so busy.. I couldn't help but feel sorry for them, but they were all gracious and friendly. The chocolate cookie dough was warm and amazingly sweet but paired well with the vanilla soft serve. Overall, great experience!! Will return! *Is there a way management can place fans or mist outside as there was not enough seating inside, and the ice cream if not eaten fast enough, turns into soup outside. Just a suggestion :)

I went for a…read moreYelp event a while back, and it reminded me just how good their desserts are, so when my friend and I wanted dessert to finish off my birthday celebration, coming here was obvious. The women behind the counter were helpful and friendly. When I asked for opinions and suggestions, they had plenty based on my likes, and in no time at all, I had a warmed up incredibly rich and delicious Magic Toffee Bar in front of me. So crazy good, I could only eat 1/3 of it, but it made for a delightful treat the next day too. The description of it is as follows: buttery Graham cracker crust with milk, dark, and white chocolate chips, bits of toffee, and topped with coconut. I also highly recommend taking a treat or two from their samples jar. Their toffee is clearly the best in the world, and every bite is a treat. If you're looking for the perfect holiday gift - look no further than their toffee. They have their own parking lot, which is always a bonus in this part of town, and inside was clean and bright, with plenty of seating, and free glasses of water.

It's vanilla soft serve mixed with chunks of their delicious salted Nutella chocolate chip cookies, topped with more of their salted chocolate chip cookies & a Nutella drizzle. I've tried almost everything on their menu, and this has been my personal favorite to order every time I am there! Think -- a less mixed blizzard with cookie & Nutella globs to eat mainly with a spoon and both a straw for when it begins to melt. The store itself is adorable. Think pink neon lighting, velvet pink couches with fun cookie pillows, and a fun wall for photo opportunities. Recently they also added a super fun Photo Booth outside of their store! They even have a succulent in an ice cream cone shaped pot and a pink street sign on their wall that says "Bake'n Babes". It's all about the little details, and they did a phenomenal job decorating! I love that they have self service touch screens! Usually a staff member is present at the front and helps answer any questions you may have about the menu which is awesome! One recommendation would be to have a button in case you need anyone from the back, and to put the thermostat to be a little less chilly (I'm sure there's a reason for this!). Otherwise perfection!! I have been here probably about 20 times or more, and highly recommend!
