    This is place is a legit Italian place. Seems like there a few around. Atmosphere is the standout and the portion sizes where good. Good date spot. Drunkin Noodle: Yes you can get your bottle on and take it with you

    Saturday brunch is apparently very popular! This place was packed. Our meals were very tasty. If you like heat with your southern cuisine then this is the place for you. Our waitress was very busy but our meals came promptly and were exactly what we ordered. The ambience is a little crowded for my taste. Hard to hear each other speak when it's packed. The outside patio blew in hot air to the inner restaurant.

    Rigatoni  Impossible Meatballs
    Nina L.

    I've never had a bad meal at Noble Crust, and I've been to several locations over the years - multiple meals, various drinks, etc., and the nail it. Every. Single. Time. Service has never been short of top notch. The ambiance is always comfortable and inviting. They have something for everyone on the menu, including for brunch/lunch and dinner. On the most recent visit, I finally tried their kale Caesar salad, which was so good we ate it too fast to take a photo. Also finally got to try their rigatoni with house made impossible meatballs. It was so fresh and flavorful, and I so appreciate them having vegetarian options across their entire menu. I also loved the crispiness of the garlic bread. Can't wait to return for the next meal (which probably won't be long from now)!

    Smash Burger
    Anthoinette M.

    Had a great experience at Noble Crust! The smashburger really hit the spot it was juicy, flavorful, and cooked just right. At first they brought me the regular fries which are good too but it's worth paying a little extra for the truffle fries. They were super fresh, perfectly crispy, and well seasoned. Everything tasted good and was well prepared, and the service was attentive and friendly without being overbearing. Definitely a spot I'll be coming back to! This was my first time to the Dale Mabry location I usually go to Wesley Chapel, but I like both locations. Both have nice bar area with TVs and the open kitchen.

    Fried Greet Tomatoes
    Jason R.

    First time trying this place and it was fantastic. We had reservations but got there a little early and were able to choose from different tables. The fried green tomato app blends the fried fruit with pimento cheese and pork belly, a combination that was as surprising as how much we liked it. The bucatini and meatballs was perfect, with meatballs that were somehow light and which fell apart gently under a fork. The chicken parm was also great, but def heavier than the bucatini. Service was top notch from start to finish, the bathroom were clean and serviceable.

    Unfortunately, Noble Crust was a big letdown. I had high hopes based on the photos and reviews, but the overall dining experience missed the mark for me. One bright spot was our server who was kind and attentive throughout our meal. We started off with their No Mojitos as our drinks and their pepperoni pizza. The drinks were absolutely amazing so we were thrilled that things were starting off well. The pizza was average. For our entrees we ordered the steak frites and beef ragu. The steak frites wasn't cooked to the correct temp we ordered and was forgettable. The beef ragu was not enjoyable.. the pasta was warm, but topped with cold cheese that started creating a liquidy mess at the bottom of the dish. We ended things off with their warm cinnamon apple cobbler and somehow even this was bad. The "cobbler" was an extremely hard topping that was overcooked and just snapped in half. Our server told us "it's cooked in the pizza oven so be careful it's hot" and honestly I can see how the topping of the cobbler became that rock hard. Overall: I wouldn't recommend based on this experience. Maybe I just caught them on an off day.

    My favorite place ever! The whole menu is delicious, but my go-tos are the Fried Green Tomatoes and The Works Pizza. The ambiance is nice and the staff is great. I love when they roll out new drinks or special plates.

    They say first impressions are everything and even from the outside the ambiance was inviting! They fit us in right away and the waiter was friendly and knowledgeable. The food had good flavor and presentation was spot on like other photos. This place did not disappoint! I would drive the 45 minutes to go again!

    Figgy piggy

    5/5 honestly they really showed up and made the experience great. The server took care of us fast and helped us choose some delicious options. Specifically the figgy piggy definitely the best pizza I've ever tried was hard to finish myself as the portion size is huge but sharing this thing is the best way to spend your night. Delicious foods and drinks, great spot for a date night. Can't wait to come back!

    Noble Crust is a must! With multiple locations in the Tampa area, Noble Crust is serving fantastic cocktails and delicious eats! The vibes and aesthetic are perfect for a date night, the start to a girls night out, or grabbing a nice meal and cocktail with your bud. The wings are the real deal! The flavor is the perfect balance of sweet heat with a little tang, and have just the right amount of crisp on the outer coating! There are so many different awesome cocktails to choose from, the love of lavender was beautiful, and the frozen watermelon mojito was the ideal refresher for a hot day; everything here is great!

    Noble Crust is one of my favorite brunch spots and my go to when people come visit me. I love their drinks and the whole brunch menu, it's always a crowd pleaser. The fried green tomato appetizer is a must order for me, and their eggs Benedict is one of the best versions I've had. I also really love their $25 mimosa buckets, which make brunch feel a little more fun and celebratory. It's one of those places that never fails to impress first timers.

    I came with a group for a friend's birthday, and we had a blast! The food was phenomenal, the drink specials were boozy and cheap, and the atmosphere was lively, inviting, and fun! The service was great, and the staff made sure my friend had a wonderful party! I especially loved the blueberry lemon pancakes, as well as the sangria's! I'll definitely come back for brunch, as well as dinner!

From the moment we walked in, Taylor and the team made every person at our table feel like the only guests in the room. The service was flawless, attentive without being intrusive, and the kind of hospitality you simply cannot manufacture. Jenna coordinated the celebration and did an incredible job. When we sat down and saw the personalized birthday menu with Margit's name handwritten at the top, that was it. That is the moment a restaurant stops being a restaurant and becomes a memory. Thank you Jenna. The food was exceptional across the board. The Little Gem Salad was fresh and well composed. The Asparagus with confit artichoke was beautifully plated and tasted every bit as good as it looked. The Gnocchi with broccolini and trout roe was a standout. The cocktails were creative and well crafted, and the virgin mojito was executed perfectly. Rocca is now top 3 restaurants of my life. If you are planning something special for someone you love, do not overthink it. Call Jenna, ask for Taylor, and let Rocca do the rest. We will be back. Without question.

I have been visiting the 1905 restaurants and their family of brands for over 25 years. I've been to the Columbia so many times that I could probably draw you the layout from memory. That history and loyalty is exactly why yesterday's experience was so disappointing. Yesterday, we were celebrating my mother's 64th birthday, and I chose Casa Santo Stefano because of the superior service I've received in the past, the excellent quality of the food, and because my company,, typically books Casa Santo Stefano for events and has never given me reason to doubt the brand. Unfortunately, my experience with my family yesterday was more than disappointing. Valerio dropped the ball in so many ways at our table. We repeatedly went without water, at times for more than 10 minutes, and I was constantly looking around for him. My mother's Moscow Mule took approximately 20 minutes to arrive. When I jokingly asked if he had gone to Moscow to get it, he told me they "didn't have any cups." That was difficult to believe when the drink was clearly sitting there long enough for the cup to become heavily sweated and the ice to melt. I also began noticing that Valerio seemed far more attentive to a table of 10 young women who had just arrived. He was taking their photos, laughing with them and engaging with them, while our table was repeatedly forgotten. The situation with dessert was particularly upsetting because it was my mother's birthday. Valerio asked whether we had seen a dessert menu, and I told him we had not. As I got up to speak with the manager, a kids' ice cream dessert was brought to our table instead. We wanted to look at the dessert menu, order a few things, and have the restaurant sing Happy Birthday to my mother. That simple experience was completely missed, and it was something we had genuinely been looking forward to. On top of everything, the air conditioning was not functioning properly in the restaurant, which made an already uncomfortable experience even more difficult. I appreciate the manager Ty, giving my mother a box of cookies and a handwritten card from the staff as we were leaving. Unfortunately, by that point, the damage had already been done. What bothered me most was that Valerio never seemed to appreciate the significance of the occasion, never apologized for the repeated service issues, and ultimately dropped off the check and walked away. I simply do not understand how this happened, particularly on a day when the restaurant was not even especially busy. I believe Valerio needs additional training and guidance, particularly in the level of hospitality and attentiveness expected from a restaurant carrying the 1905 Family of Restaurants name. I want to emphasize that I am not writing this because I have turned my back on the brand. Quite the opposite. I am writing because I have been loyal to this brand for more than two decades, I genuinely believe in what the 1905 Family of Restaurants represents, and yesterday's experience fell so far below that standard that I feel compelled to say something. My mother's 64th birthday only happens once, and unfortunately, instead of leaving with another wonderful 1905 memory, we left disappointed. I sincerely hope this feedback is taken seriously, not simply as a complaint about one server, but as an opportunity to make sure another family celebrating an important occasion does not have the same experience.

I asked if I should go gnocchi or carbonara when I ordered and he said "let me surprise you". My man came out with a half and half combo and didnt cut back on the portions. Truly excellent service. He didn't need to do that but he did. Remarkable. Finally, dessert. Wow. We got about everything. All three cakes, cannolis, pistachio ice cream. The lot. Everything truly was unreal. All clean plates. Nothing left in any fashion. By the way, he gave us an extra cannoli so we all had our own. The inside of this place is also so intimate and cozy.

Told to hang at the bar until the table was ready. We just sat upfront. Made it to the table and seating was tight. I felt like I was in the conversation of the party next to us. Service was ok - server was polite and professional. Took our drink and food order but really didn't check back in on us frequently. The valentine menu included a starter, a soup or salad, a main entrée and a dessert per person. I ordered the artichoke dip as my starter, tomato soup, the blackened mahi and for dessert, the chocolate mousse cake. Artichoke dip was the winner of the evening. It was very good and plentiful so we actually boxed and took home to enjoy. The tomato soup came out next and was so salty that it was not edible. The soup and the artichoke dip sat on the table for a while before the waitress came over to check in on us. When she did come over we advised we wanted the artichoke dip boxed, but the tomato soup was overly salty, like the container of salt fell into the soup. The individuals at the table next to us agreed that the soup was not able to be eaten due to the salt level, the server basically apologized and said there was nothing that they could do given it was a set menu, which was very disappointing that they did nothing to either resolve the issue or offer a salad in place of the soup give we could not eat the salad. Since the meal was prepaid, they should've done something to fix, but the messaging was basically like oh you're SOL. Like I took your money now deal with it. On to the mahi -- it was supposed to be served over coconut lime rice however it was more like a firm block of mushy porridge. Like the rice, maybe had been sitting in water or something all day not sure but it was gross and it had no flavor. The fish was also overcooked because it wasn't flaky and I think that it lacked flavor as well. I ended up boxing it and not even eating it whenever we got home. I think the trash can enjoyed it more than I did. We were full and basically over the experience so we got our desserts to go. Hubs ordered the poundcake and I ordered the chocolate mousse cake. Got home, put everything in the fridge except for the desserts, sat down on the couch to enjoy our desserts and mine was missing!! I had a takeout container that had the whipped cream and a little thing of chocolate mousse in it but no cake. WTHeck man!? It was icing on the cake or the cherry on top for the evening we experienced at this point. Let's just say that based on all the reviews for this place, we expected better and were quite disappointed. Especially for the cost of the prefix menu. I truly believe that a higher quality should've been had given this was one of the busiest days of the year to win people over.

    Finally got to try Forbici this weekend and it did not disappoint! Saturday night was very busy and…read morethe wait was over an hour but thankfully they had a table for 2 that did not show up so we got right in!! The restaurant is loud and lively due to it being so busy! They have a a great cocktail menu with Italian spritz and rotating specials. For appetizers we did the buffalo chicken pizza which was so delicious!! They have a thin and thick crust pizzas, but this one only came in thick crust. For entrees we did the gnocchi and since they offer pasta half portions, I had the Cacio e Pepe and the rigatoni alla vodka! Both were delicious and that Cacio e Pepe was so creamy. Our server was nice and friendly. The cost for 2 honestly wasn't that bad. I loved all the food and will definitely be back!!

    Fungi- yummy. Perfect mushroom and truffle ratio. I just don't like how square pizzas are super…read moredoughy. I wish they made each flavor with the option or round of square because I'd rather have a fungi round. Vodka rigatoni- basic. I've had good vodka rigatonis and I added chicken ($6+) but that chicken was so plain and bland looking. Cup and char- infamous but idk why, not that special. L'amante cocktail- good..but inconsistent. My friend got the same drink but both of ours tasted different and were different colors even. Indoor space is kind of cramped if you ask me. And the outside has fans but they don't help cool at all. Bathrooms are clean however and the servers/hostess are really nice.
