Carpeneto Italian Eatery - Tampa

During my stay with a host family in Tampa, I wanted to explore some new dining options. I had a fantastic experience! The food was excellent, and the service was outstanding. Our server, Christine, was incredibly attentive and answered all our questions. We also enjoyed some great live music during our visit! I would definitely return. - Jenny

We visited this restaurant after Mother's Day. The service was good, and the layout is very accommodating for larger groups. We ordered a pizza and the bottomless salad. Unfortunately, the pizza was lacking in flavor; the dough was tough and the cheese was subpar. If you’re looking for authentic Italian or pizza, I wouldn’t recommend this place. It felt more like Italian fast food.

This is hands down the best Italian food I’ve had in a long time. Becky, my bartender, made me a blueberry drink that was absolutely perfect! I could tell it had a generous amount of Absolut, but it still tasted incredible! The dish I ordered was spot on, and the pasta definitely tasted fresh and homemade. I highly recommend this place! Give it a try, and you’ll be hooked!

This is my new favorite restaurant! I love the outdoor terrace with live music. As a new resident of NY I like to dine out any chance I get. This restaurant offers a casual and pet-friendly outdoor area with great food. There is a large well that gives the room a calm feeling. You have great Happy Hour Specials from 4-6 and 8-Close out. My favorite appetizers were the goat cheese and spinach roasted ravioli and the Burrata appetizer. I had chicken parmesan for dinner with fresh spaghetti. Not many restaurants offer all fresh pasta in Tampa, which is a delicious bonus. I also enjoyed the cupcake sun places with vanilla ice cream, which was unique and delicious.

Great new restaurant. We sat at the outside bar where the atmosphere is fun and relaxing. They have live music (we were there on a Thursday night). The drink selection is extensive I had the strawberry lemonade sangria it was excellent. The service was perfect. The food was really good. Best pizza around. It is my new favorite restaurant!
