    We stopped in before a show at The Dali and were seated before our reservation time. The atmosphere is a perfect setting for Italian date night; we were seated in a small booth by the window. The Cavatappi Bada Bing made the experience worthwhile. It was delicious and was quite a show to make. The gentleman who made it was entertaining as he set vodka on fire and tossed the pasta into a wheel of parmesan cheese. It was rich and luxurious. My husband ordered the meatballs and they were huge! The soup and salad, included with the meal, were very good, and happy hour wine special was a great surprise. We live in Dunedin and will go back next time we’re in St Pete!

    The service and food for Thanksgiving were phenomenal. This was the best Thanksgiving dinner we've had at restaurants in many years. The turkey was moist and delicious, the traditional and not so traditional sides were excellent, and the appetizers were top drawer. The venue is excellent (we sat outside under an umbrella) with clever battery-powered "beenie hat" revolving wings to keep the pesky bees away, and they worked, surprisingly well! All in all, we can not wait to return for another meal. The interior space is excellent, and the adjoining bar has a separate ambiance we can not wait to try.

    This place is absolutely amazing! The craft cocktails are a delight, the food creative and fresh!  The bison is a should not be missed nor the lamb chops! We are not local but we visit at least twice when we are in town. We had the pleasure of meeting Michael the manager last evening and now we understand why the crew is so service oriented! Kudos to him and his staff !
