This was one of the most amazing meals you will experience in the Tampa area. Everything is made with care and it literally feels like you are eating a homemade meal from your Italian Nona. Run...dont walk to this gem in Brandon.
Charming little Bistro and a wonderful addition to our community! ❤️🇮🇹The chef clearly has a passion for her home Italian cooking! The food is amazing! We enjoyed our evening seated inside this quaint little cafe.The staff was very warm, attentive and knowledgeable. We can’t wait to go back! 🦋
OMG If you haven’t had Italian food from Tasty Venues Italian Bistro & Gourmet Food Shop you have to go! When I say Italian food I mean REAL homemade Italian food, not a pizza place “Italian American” food. It was DELICIOUS! Everything was made fresh by the most talented chef. BTW, I highly recommend the Truffle Risotto, a dish I have not been able to find since my last trip to Italy, along with everything else.We ate, and devoured, the following dishes:Gnudi- ricotta dumplings with spinach and parmesanSwimming Along- red snapper baked with lemon and risottoA Walk In The Woods - one with chicken and one with vealCheck out their dine-in, to go & family meals!
Afternoon tea was charming..the tidbits were delicious. As was the lavender tea.. very pleasant way to celebrate spring
Wonderful meals with true Italian flair and a staff that feels like family. They also arrange food tours of Italy.
Place bans your children from coming after 4 PM.And before 4 PM you need to buy them a half portion or a meal. Your small children that probably only eats a few bites can’t even share your plate.I wonder if these owners have children? Better yet, know a child?Outraged. No food is worth disrespecting my family ...
Exceptional food.
Authentic unique intimate dining experience! I love this place always a warm welcome. Beautiful gifts to purchase for that something or someone that is a Foodie that enjoys fine wine teas and a European flair and luxury.
Love no children after 4 pm!!!!
I LOVE THIS PLACE!! Wonderful Italian Bistro - everything cooked fresh daily by the amazing Cinzia - who always has gluten friendly cookies when she knows I am coming!! The gift shop and wine selection are wonderful if you are looking for a special gift for yourself or a friend.
Fall Tea was wonderful, the food delicious and the atmosphere so relaxing and enjoyable, did not want to leave. I sure will come back for the Thanksgiving Tea in November.
This place is great!!! We had the Victorian Summer Tea, everything was delicious. Everyone on staff were warm and welcoming . Very relaxing afternoon with the girls!
Cynthia Hawes: my first time here. I enjoyed the atmosphere, the meal was like being in Little Italy in Boston, excellent food. The wine was smooth & pleasant to my pallet. It was very pleasant to relax to soft music & eat real Italian food. Ill be returning.
Intimate little Bistro great Date Night place. Authentic Italian, made when ordered by Chef Cinzia.
Instead of writing a lengthy description of my first experience at Tasty Venues, I will simply say this - holy cow! It is so nice to be pleasantly surprised and to have expectations exceeded. Run, do not walk, to this precious gemstone nestled among the lumps of limestone along Highway 60.
I dont even know where to start...my Uncle said oh my God, Im in Brooklyn! Hes telling everybody they have to come over to eat here! The food was so fresh ( eggplant Parmesan), and absolutely amazing! That San marzano tomato sauce was on point! Cant wait to come back.. this was the coolest store/ bistro weve ever been to! Awesome chef & staff!
I Love this place! It Is very relaxing and food is delicious. I Highly recommend it 😊
Most incredible Italian meal I ever had. Everything from appetizers, main dish to dessert was fresh and delicious. I would give it 10 stars but it won’t allow it.
Disgusting establishment. They are anti-children. They also force you to buy them an adult entree if they even allow them in. They publicly humiliated children in their recent posts which obviously points to a recent diner experience. They dont deserve to stay in business.
Excellent food!! Everything was made fresh and with love.
OMG!!!!..my wife and I went after hearing many good things about the place.it was even better than expected..everything was exceptional..all 3 ladies working were very pleasant..would highly recommend to anyone
Good food. A little bit pricey.
Excellent Italian fresh food prepared by the Italian chef owner. Also unique italian items.
Cozy eatery, marvelous food and delicious desserts
Had a fabulous lunch with my daughter here last week. With vegan and vegetarian options in addition to a full, traditional menu, its a place where we know were getting fresh, authentic Italian cuisine prepared by an artistic, innovative chef. Chef Cinzia can truly can do it all!From catering a holiday meal to special events, and now with the addition of their new Sunday Dinners (11am-3pm every Sunday), this cafe is a treasure.The gift shop has now transitioned to mostly gourmet foods and wine, and they have a wonderful assortment of imported and local treats. Everything is unique and not something you find every day. They have perfect, unique, culinary gifts for hard-to-buy-for friends.Chef Cinzia also hosts culinary tours of Sicily, Tuscany, and the Amalfi Coast a couple of times a year. I highly recommend you go see them for lunch or dinner and ask about the tours. You wont be disappointed!
There is NO menu..This place makes the best food you have ever eaten..You eat what they have made for the day.. Its about $10 a plate..BEST FOOD IN BRANDON !!!
Great place to have lunch. Cinzia Cripe, the chef, made us feel at home. The menu is very healthy low sodium yet tasty. The chef’s gets this divine inspiration to produce a great meal would highly recommend to friends and family.Dr. Abreu
