Restaurants near E. R. Meres Sponge Packing House

I'd never heard of Casa Ludivechio until a friend told me about it last week. I've lived in the area for twenty-five years. It's the best Italian restaurant we've found in Tampa Bay. Our server, Tabetha, was delightful. We sat down, ordered the calamari appetizer, then dinner. I had the rigatoni with sausage in a red sauce; it was incredible. (I will order it every time I return it was so good) My wife enjoyed the cod, and the other couple with us ordered the ravioli and something else. We enjoyed everything, including wine and drinks by the glass. Exceptional experience, we will be back very soon.

From the moment we arrived, the service was excellent. We were greeted with a smile, and shown to our table. A server came over immediately to ask if we would like a drink before dinner. My husband ordered a Kentucky Mule, and I had brought a bottle of wine (there is a corkage fee). We were so pleased with the entrees. The Chateaubriand was perfectly grilled, and the scallops with the creamy corn polenta was awesome. Kudos to our servers and the kitchen staff for providing us with a memorable dinner.

Florida grouper was outstanding. The presentation of the food and the quantity was great. The dinner rolls were very tasty too. Service was very attentive and friendly. The noise level was higher than we would like but were seated next to a table of 7. Once they left it was much better. The drink, Southern Comfort Old Fashioned was delicious too. Great evening! Thank you.

Wonderful experience. First time at the restaurant

Captn Jack's has great food and even better service! We love the seafood and pies. Great atmosphere!
