Best Italian Restaurants in Oldsmar

We had the best experience the service was exceptional. The food was all perfect , the pasta cooked table side was amazing the appetizers octopus and lobster arachini so the best I ever had . What a great gourmet experience. Definitely will be back highly recommend this restaurant. So authentic.

This restaurant is old school in a good way. Waiters in Tuxedo's, a single rose presented to any of the ladies at the table. The service was outstanding. Very attentive. Not pushy. Wine glass along with water always refilled, dirty dishes immediately removed. Then there is the food. Simply outstanding. Without question, one of the best Italian restaurants in the Tampa Bay area.

We had a nice dinner with an attentive waitress. Pleasant atmosphere. The Burrata was delicious and the bisque had nice texture and good lobster meat. We had the Parpadelle with crab and Alfredo - the lump crab meat was plentiful in a flavorful sauce. Highly recommend as well as the Veal Massimo which was very rich and came with veggies. The sauce was delicious. Finally we had the lemoncello cake with raspberry sauce - simply divine. The whipped cream is worth it alone on the side. Chef came by to check on us as well. We had a lovely time thank you.

For tonight's dinner I started with the Crispy Buffalo Cauliflower (fresh-fried cauliflower bites topped with Sriracha aioli and served with cool-herbed ranch dressing, house-made pickled cucumbers) and it was fantastic. For my dinner I had the Pan Seared Grouper Picatta with capers, lemon butter, warm house-made orzo pasta, grilled asparagus and it was delicious/flavorful and one of my favorites. My regular server "Adam" was exceptional, as always, and he is consistently friendly, attentive, patient, accommodating, efficient, and he has made so many wonderful recommendations to me that have all awakened my taste buds. Sacred Pepper is an excellent choice for the ambiance, awesome wine/drink selections, amazing and delicious food selections, soothing after dinner drinks, and mouthwatering desserts. And the service staff are all so friendly and welcoming. it's a "WIN" for me every single time I eat there!

My wife had a very good Rigatoni alla Bolognese (fresh red sauce with meat). I had Lasagna Napoletana which had a very fresh red tomato sauce. Nice ambiance. There was a piano player playing softly. My wife also enjoyed her Rum cake. Only improvement I would suggest would be to serve the food more timely. We were with a couple we had not seen in awhile, so it did not bother us much.
