    Penne a la vodka
    Katrina P.

    This is definitely authentic Italian food. We had penne a la vodka and it was flavorful and so creamy. The pizza, amazing! We ate the entire pizza between two people because it was just that good. Best tiramisu and cannolis we've ever had. The meatballs melt in your mouth and the marinara sauce was the real MVP in all this, it was homemade and made every dish just that much better. FYI: HUGE portions

    Hannah said she was new but she was far from a new server, she may have been just new here. She was excellent! My wife has come here a bunch but this was my first time. My house salad and bread appetizer were excellent. I ordered the Nello's Carbonara and it was great. My family enjoyed the veal piccata and Alfredo. Heard great things about the pizza. This really is a hidden gem. It's Friday night so we enjoyed the atmosphere being a little crowded and exciting.

    We're staying with our Aunt and Uncle for a month here in Tierra Verde and wanted to try this place. My husband and I are foodies and love supporting local businesses. Dinner for four included a large pizza, which was HUGE, Greek salad - also huge, and a nice bottle of Chianti. Everything was delicious and perfectly made. The icing on the cake was our server, Peter. He was attentive and funny and we really enjoyed every minute we spent there. This place is a gem!

    Really liked this place suggested to me by friends. Why? Because they make a great gluten free pie and other stuff I don't get to eat a lot. There were gf pasta options but with the smells in play this is where I broke my blasted pizza fast. Sure glad I did it was worth it. I even took some home for later after giving it my best shot! This place is very Italian, so they had great wine too. Pricey because its in a tourist area, but their bruschetta bread looked legit too! Would def chill here again.

    Visiting our daughter in St Petersburg over Easter weekend. She took us to Tony & Nello's in Tierra Verde. Walking in, the smells were so darn fabulous, we knew the flavors were going to be spot on!! Not a huge restaurant but plenty of space to enjoy yourselves. Nicely decorated with plenty of that Italian feel. Not quite busy yet, so we sat at the bar. Johnny was our Bartender .... Very friendly guy. Asked what we wanted to drink, we weren't sure because we had JUST sat down and looking over the menu. Very, very attentive. Plus he was answering the phones & getting to-go orders lined up. He worked like a Swiss watch. By the time we left, the place quite full of guests and orders were flying out the door. We figured out what we wanted. Pizza !! Found out EVERYTHING was in large portions. We ordered a tossed salad, ($14.95) which was plenty enough to feed 4, easily. I ordered a glass of wine...nice pour by the way, Johnny. Thank you. They delivered some hot bread as well. Delicious !! Then the large pizza arrived, for the three of us..... 1/2 meal lovers & 1/2 Tony's Special. OMG..... it was HUGE !! Loaded with sausage, pepperoni, peppers & black olives. It was certainly full of flavor. Guess we got the NY style because it was very, very thin. Tasty but we would have preferred it with a thicker "chew" on the crust. If they offer a thicker crust... we missed it. We each ate one slice, took the rest of it home and had it for breakfast the next day !! Just as tasty ! Yes, highly recommended. We would go back in a heartbeat !!!

    Best Italian food in all of Pinellas county. I just wish they served liquor but it's still worth going to regardless!

Portions are spot on. * service - every employee, everytime, has a smile, is friendly , and helpful. You wouldn't expect to get such good service. You can tell that every aspect of this place is actually managed. Very Refreshing!! * I could go on but will keep this short. Love this place and proud of the job they do. When I have friends visiting from out of town, this is the beach where I bring them and never have an issue spending my hard earned money here. They will even give you a cup of water with a smile. * it helps that pass-a-grille is such a lovely area. Catch the right time for live music.

I enjoyed sitting outside, right by the beach, at a very sunny picnic table with an umbrella for partial shade. Bring your sunscreen as I did and all is well! It was fun to take in the whole slightly chaotic but totally safe family-friendly scene on a holiday morning! Energizing! Parking is a challenge but hey, I like to walk and explore so I had fun with it. Just be aware, some searching for a public or nearby parking spot may be required. Carpooling or ride sharing is recommended if possible. I'm on a strict no-fried-food, no chemicals, no preservatives, no gluten, no sugar, no dairy diet so choices for breakfast were limited as expected. All good. I enjoyed my properly cooked eggs and the lady who took my order was kind and helpful. I should have ordered the fruit bowl as well but I didn't see it on the menu until now. No problem! Next time! My guests also said their paradise omelets were properly cooked and delicious! Our food also was prepared in a very reasonable amount of time considering the crowd which was impressive! Please do not expect eggs Benedict, table cloths and fancy plates. This is a fun place right on the beach with plastic silverware and styrofoam containers. @Peter and Vandana joined for the meal and we laughed, relaxed, ate, chatted, took in the scene, enjoyed the morning and then... Vandana brought out the huge conch shell. I was first to attempt tooting the massive horn but it just wasn't happening. Peter was a bit better than I. Vandana, on the other hand, warned ships well over the horizon that we were here and ready for fun! Kids jumped and clapped their hands. Adults stared in stunned silence. Everyone was deafened. My Apple Watch warned me of dangerous audio conditions that might cause permanent hearing damage if the sound kept up! It was an awesome and skilled display of awesomeness! This was no simple toot. It was a blast! Thank you Vandana! Memorable to say the least! Plus, I can still hear just fine and dandy. Life is a blast with a fun and very memorable meal on the beach! Thanks Paradise Grille!
