    Rigatoni with bacon alla vodka sauce
    olivia h.

    Sooo delicious and filling! I ordered Rigatoni with the Bacon Alla Vodka sauce, easily one of the best pasta dishes I've ever had. I also ordered a slice of the Lemon cream cake and I cannot stop thinking about it- the cream filling was perfect the cake was soo moist. My only complaint was the small bread that I added to my order, for an extra charge

    Ridiculous amount of crushed red pepper.

    I am visiting Tampa from Miami. I searched Italian restaurants for my dinner. I ordered pasta with meat sauce and asked for it to be hot. They have a super hot option with a disclaimer such as "If your order super hot, don't complain that it is too hot to eat". As a Chef and in the F&B hospitality my whole life (30 years). The "Hot" that they used was simply crushed red pepper. A huge amount of it. I use crushed red pepper in all my home cooking because I like the heat, but when I want it to give more heat, I add other items, not just crushed red pepper. The amount of crushed red pepper wasn't even cooked into the sauce, it was just thrown on top. So I can only imagine what their hottest dishes look like.

    DoorDash order

    Hmmm I ordered thru DoorDash... I asked for Panna cotta and I'm very sure I received a flan or they don't know what panna cotta is! I'm not saying it was horrible, however that was not panna cotta! The pasta was alright, something I could have made. They charged me for a small piece of bread... it didn't go well with the pasta since it was a bit sweet. I'm not sure if I should try again... but the second time going to the restaurant and see. I think they might have potential.

    I can't believe i am just finding out about this place just 5 min away. It's take out only which I discovered when we arrived ready to sit and have dinner. Ordering takes a bit of thought, you order your pasta, then the sauce and finally the protein. I ordered the spaghetti with carbonara sauce, we also ordered the gnocchi with vodka sauce. Oh my it was YUMMO. The pasta itself is wonderful could eat it with just butter. You can buy a bottle of wine to too, all bottles $20. We will definitely order again from here. Next time i will post pictures of the food by the the time we arrived home the aroma of the food had us ravenous thus no time for pics.

    We went around 5:30pm on a Saturday, there was plenty of parking and it was not busy. We met the owner,she had great suggestions, super nice and very personable. It is only take out but they package everything very well. The portions are good and a lot, we would have left over tomorrow. The gnocchi with sausage and vodka sauce was really good. The pesto fettuccine with chicken and sundried tomato was really good, my boyfriend thought thag the sundried tomato was too overpower; me on the other hand loved it, love tomatoes!! We will definitely go back!

    Dry awful rigatoni that tastes like old Ragu sauce. I also asked for extra dressing. Was terrible!

    Really bad all around. This was $50 on Uber eats! I sent an email bc I'm really upset about the entire order. See pictures..... not even sure if this came from This restaurant bc the pictures we saw looked good! Very angry and hungry. We are now having soup from home!!!

    Meat Lasagna with marinara sauce and a bread roll that came with it. The takeout container is about 4 or 5 inches in diameter, for scale.

    I was looking around for good Italian food while I was visiting Tampa and saw that Don Rigatoni was close by to where I live. Since it's also a local business, and the reviews looked alright, I gave it a try. Like other reviews say, the place is small, intended for takeout. I ordered the beef lasagna, since it seemed like a solid choice. While waiting in the waiting area, there was a surprising lack of noise from the kitchen; there was something that sounded like a clothes drier in the back, but nothing that would suggest someone was actively cooking in the back. 10 or so minutes later, the lasagna came out. The lasagna was very small for a dish that cost 23$ (which had an additional cost for the marinara sauce by the way, something that seems like it should come with the lasagna). In addition, it wasn't hot; only warm when I opened the box about a minute later. It came with a small roll about the size of a computer mouse. The taste was mediocre at best, like something an amateur chef could make. To give the dish some credit, it was relatively filling. But for 23$, I expected a much larger portion or better quality food. Was very disappointed with Don Rigatoni, would not recommend.

    Farfalle with cream sauce and broccoli. Sauce was very thin. Broccoli didn't taste fresh. Tasted like a lean cuisine dish.

    Ordered farfalle with cream sauce and broccoli. Cream sauce is very watery. Broccoli tastes frozen but was a $5.50 add on. Do not recommend.

    I have spoken with the owner and she has handled the situation very kindly. We will be meeting this week hopefully. I will leave a better update after the meeting. She is kindly going to show me the kitchen where the food is made. Unfortunately I am less then impressed with this place. I ordered a vegetarian lasagna and let me tell you, it was the Marie Callender's frozen vegetarian lasagna being passed as "authentic" and costing twice as much with frozen spinach on top not even fresh. The garlic bread is the frozen coles from Walmart soggy and once again they are trying to pass it off as their own! Let's mention that the Alfredo and pasta was undercooked and hardly any sauce on it. I will not be eating this food this store lies and it over charging for shit quality that Walmart is selling at half price. Save yourself the money and go to Walmart the frozen section it's the same food!

    Chicken Alfredo
    Aziza W.

    I wasn't supposed to eat all of this in one go. Oops It couldn't be helped though! This was some of the BEST Chicken Alfredo that I've had in such a long time. Wow! I totally loved the toothy texture of the pasta and the creaminess of the sauce. The chicken was juicy and perfectly seasoned too I also ordered a side chicken Caesar salad and they were not stingy with the shaved Parmesan which I appreciate. My waistline is in danger but I don't even care. I gotta try more dishes from Don Rigatoni

    Ravioli Lobster
    Tasha C.

    I felt for Italian food last week and read great reviews about this restaurant. I ordered through Uber Eats and was pleasantly surprised by the nice note on the package and the neatly packaged items. I ordered the house salad, lobster ravioli, tiramisu and bread. The house salad which for the small package had too many cranberries and the salad dressing was too sweet for my taste . The lobster ravioli with the principessa sauce was delicious. Raviolis were a decent size and fully stuffed with lobster meat. The tiramisu was delicious as well. The small piece of bread was good when I warmed it up and added butter.

We entered and checked in at the host of stand and regretted promptly and sat right away for our reservation at 5:30. Our server Nicole was extremely pleasant and gave us absolutely fantastic recommendations. They have happy hour on food and drinks until 6 PM which we were unaware of as well before we made the reservation. It was a very pleasant surprise. The happy hour is not only on drinks but full sized menu items that include appetizers and entrees as well as drinks. We took advantage of the situation in order our cocktails before 6 o'clock. I opted to start with the lemon cello apeol spritz and ended with the pistachio espresso martini. That may have been one of the best espresso martinis I've ever tasted it in my life and I've been to Italy to drink them! When I say do not pass up on the trio of dip for the focaccia bread- OMG-this sounds like such a simple appetizer, but it is done with precision and elegance, and the dips are absolutely amazing. We did take most of the bread home and put it in the air fryer the next day it holds up to a restaurant quality standard. We also ordered the chicken Parmesan and the meatball sliders. I will say the chicken Parmesan sliders for exceeded the meatball sliders. The meatballs needed a tad bit more seasoning for my liking. Because her eyes are bigger than our stomachs, we ordered three entrées between the two of us . The carpe de Pepe pasta, the margarita pizza, and the Sweet Jamie Kay pizza. When ordering pizza you have two options to get fluffy area dough or a thin crisp dough we chose both pizzas to be fluffy and airy type. The pasta was served al denti which is not my favorite, but nothing was wrong with the dish. The sweet Jamie Kay pizza was absolutely mouthwatering. The slight drizzle of honey paired with a type of meat on top of the pizza makes me want it every day. We had plenty leftovers to eat lunch the next day . Taylor was stellar in her service and the ambience of the restaurant was very authentic.

While we don't typically mind being seated near people, these girls we're particularly excited and louder sharing stories etc and I was having trouble hearing my own thoughts of what to order so we requested a different table and were graciously sat outside instead. We had a much better experience for the rest of the meal. Food-wise, we ended up sharing a simple cheese pizza with some meatballs and some rigatoni pasta with the garlic sauce. We also had to get the famous 100 year old yeast made sourdough which was amazing! Loved the pizza with some ricotta on top. Meatballs were juicy and pasta had a subtle cheese taste that wasn't too heavy. Tried out the pistachio gelato as well, wasn't quite the flavor we enjoy but the creaminess was very quality. Will be back to try out brunch.

I feel like you can get two decent steaks for that price - because when you really lay out the ingredients for what we ordered and the cost, it's very simple and doesn't cost too much to make. I found it jarring to pay that much money for ordering at a counter and for the portion amount. The staff was friendly, and its smaller in there than I expected. Luckily we found a table for two but I'd personally be hesitant to go there with a larger group. It's not like it was bad, it just didn't blow me out of the water to justify that price tag for two again.

Ever since going to Armature, DalMoros has always been a staple for my family. One of the cool things about DalMoros is the fairly simple menu and selection path. You pick your pasta and the sauce to go with. This is always desired compared to a super extensive and overwhelming menu. The pasta is always a hit with the little ones. The most recent combination was the penne and cacio e pepe - just the perfect base flavor compared to the tangy and sometimes spicier options. When it comes to freshness, freshly made pasta at the site appears to be one of the pillars of the DalMoros business model. You can't go wrong with this as it is cooked to al dente perfection.

They said the fettuccine was out but I saw like half of a tray on the counter? Not sure if that was meant for online orders or whatever but it was in poor taste to leave it out as it lead to disappointment. Two stars for the free meatballs as they had decent flavor, sauce was fine, lukewarm (that is being generous) even though they had JUST SERVED IT. Won't be coming back.
