Our server tonight was so pleasant with a beautiful smile (I’m sorry I don’t remember her name. We sat outside if that helps). Great place to spend our thanksgiving. ❤️More infoCasa CamiPrice: Expensive• Contemporary Mexican• Tampa•4.6
- VValerieTampa / Central Florida West •6 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoOnce again a meal at Trattoria Pasquale far exceeded expectations. Our server was prompt and so courteous. Food came quickly and was piping hot. I had the eggplant Parmesan. It’s my favorite dish there and as always it was yummy and loaded with cheese smoke portion so I had some boxed up for dinner tonight. Our server was quick with getting us extra bread for dipping into their delicious sauce and for extra grated cheese. Downstairs was still under construction from flooding but the kitchen staff is amazing. I love eating here and is one of my go to places in Tampa. Great job to you all!More infoTrattoria PasqualePrice: Expensive• Italian• Tampa•4.8
- MMelanieNorthwest Florida •1 review5.0Dined 4 days agoWe ate at The Black Pearl for the first time last night and it was excellent! What a hidden little gem in Dunedin. We love the small quaint setting. It has an elegant atmosphere despite being in a small downtown location. All of the wait staff are very knowledgeable and attentive. The sommelier’s wine pairing recommendations were perfect. Everything we ate was delicious and the presentation was exactly what you would expect for a more high-end restaurant. It is perfect for any special occasion! We will definitely return.More infoThe Black PearlPrice: Very Expensive• French American• Dunedin•4.9
