At this unique-handsome space in downtown St. Petersburg, Florida is a jewel of a restaurant owned by two dynamic Italian partners, Tony in the kitchen and Dominic in the restaurant. Its menu and wine list hit the mark to truly delight your senses.

I was thoroughly impressed with the wine list, which was favorably priced and contained some fairly decent wines. The menu will please everyone – from the Cavatelli Bada Bing . . . a Ricotta Cavatelli flambee inside a padana Parmesan wheel with Italian made proscuitto, tomatoes in a basil/vodka sauce @ $21.00 (Dominic will flame it at table side). Includes house salad or soup.

The Rib Eye Pizzaiola – a 12 oz cut is embraced with kalamata olives, roasted red peppers, garlic, capers, fresh tomatoes and basil @ $25.00 the dish; accompanied by a soup or salad and special four cheese mashed potatoes – I’m hungry again just writing about it!!!

The fish and other numerous items are all deliciously presented with perfection, and their Early Bird Dinner selections are a tremendous value for the quality of food.
