Gino's Bar & Restaurant

Get the Italian wedding 🍲 soup. The fried calamari is great & I had the seafood fra'diavlo. Their house bread is more addictive than the biscuits at Red Lobster & taste 100x better. The waitresses that I've dealt with have the best attitudes & are super sweet, so tip them well. I've never had the pizza, but I bet it's good because their marinara sauce is great. So go there and treat yourself to a nice meal or bring the family & splurge on a good time with food & drinks. Great place. I'm a native of Long Island New York & this place can hang with the flavors & ambiance.

We hadn't been here in 5 years The food was delicious & we enjoyed everything. I really came for the Italian salad, which is AMAZING!!! (Not to be confused with their House Salad which they sometimes call it Italian salad) it's not on their regular menu. It's off of their CATERING MENU (on website) But you can request , usually they'll make it for you. It is worth every bite!

Very nice and cozy. We didn't have to wait for a table but it was only 2 of us. It was busy, lots of big groups. I will assume that because of how busy they were, the service suffered a little bit but I know they tried. The food was good. I had the fettuccine Alfredo with chicken and mushrooms. The sauce was fresh and the food was tasty. You do get bread, a soup or salad with your meal. The bread was delicious for sure. The portions are extremely generous and the prices are fair.

Best Italian in Tampa, HANDS DOWN! Don't let the outside scare you, this is one of Tampa's hidden gems. Literally the best italian restaurant when it comes to food in all of Tampa. Everything from the salad, to the actual pasta and the prices are even better than the high end chains like Olive Garden (With higher quality food) I personally recommend you visit the bar section over the restaurant section, its less cramped and a lot more relaxing. Each dinner comes with a soup or salad but I recommend either the ceasar salad or the house salad. Also that garlic bread is to kill for! The portions are large so you will be taking some home most likely, for a college student this is perfect because for the price of one meal you can eat twice! Highly recommend (but avoid the bathroom, seriously guys please remodel the bathrooms)

My husband and I were looking for a hidden gem on our vacation to Tampa. We stopped here based on a local’s suggestion. We were NOT disappointed! Emily was our server and she was so friendly and sweet, as well as very knowledgeable about the food selection. The portion sizes were large, the bread and caesar salads was amazing, and the food was all ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! Definitely visit this place if you’re looking for great food and great service, without a tourist feel.

Ginos is a Tampa staple. The food is excellent every time! The chicken sorrentino is unmatched in flavor and portion! The bananas foster over cheesecake keeps me coming back. The restaurant parking is tricky when they are busy but it is well worth the trip. I have never had a bad experience here and if you leave hungry it's your own fault. The servers are very nice. The restaurant can get super cold so bring a sweater!

Meatball sub looks beautiful but it’s messy. The bread had a delicious garlic butter taste and was so soft to eat. Should be a little toasted as the sandwich is heavy and I have to eat it was a fork. The meatballs were moist and had flavor. The sauce was lackluster and poured on heavy. Overall it good and excited to try another menu item shortly
