Michelangelo Pizzeria Cucina | Italian Restaurant Bradenton
This place is tucked away between Tampa and Sarasota in Parish. The pizza and cannoli’s are delicious, but you also have plenty of awesome authentic Italian dishes. The service here is also very good.
Ferraro's Italian Grille
This place has a very unique feel to it. It feels like a fast food restraunt, but it is actually a nice place to sit down and have a meal. The menu is great, the complimentary bread is delicious, and I highly recommend getting their ravioli with meat...
Mandola's Italian Kitchen
I’ve only eaten here once, but it sure was memorable. You will not leave this place hungry. If you like German food and want a quality meal, then this is a great spot. My only regret is that I haven’t revisited.
Old Castle Restaurant
Pop’s is an amazing place to go if you want to have an authentic Florida outdoor eating experience by the water. Lots of good snacky type of food with drinks and friends/family on a gorgeous day makes this an ideal spot to hang out for a few hours.

This is one of the most authentic Mexican restaurants I’ve found in Florida. Definitely a good spot to eat at if you are looking for that authentic experience.

This is a great place to go on a date night. They have more than pizza here too. I highly recommend this place if you are looking for a nice night out.
The Vineyards Trattoria and Pizzeria
This place might be tucked away in a college town, but it is all pro as far as I’m concerned. This place really delivers a great authentic Mexican food experience.
Las Carretas Mexican Restaurant
This place gives wine and dine a new meaning. I love nothing more than a good wine tasting. You add a meal to that and you have a pretty nice day out.

Yuengling Draft Haus & Kitchen
Nothing says your in Philly without actually being there then Delco’s. Grab a delicious cheesesteak on your way to a spring training game and your day is already off to a great start. Frankly, this is a great stop any time you are in the Dunedin area...
Delco's Original Steaks
This is one of several awesome eateries in the downtown Treasure Island area. Probably one of the best and most scenic places I’ve been to.

This place is temporarily closed due to hurricane damage, but when it reopens it is a must go to. It is one of the most memorable dining experiences I’ve had in FL. An added bonus is the opportunity to eat on the water. Very beautiful area and great ...
Crabby's On The Pass
Don’t hesitate to stop in if you are lucky enough to cross paths with one of the locations in FL. The pizza here is five star.

This place specializes in serving up awesome breakfast food. If you are looking for a tasty start to your day, then give this place a try.
Station 400
The food here is deceptively good. Appetizers come out piping hot and they give you more than enough to eat for your entree’. This is a must if you are in the Fort Myers area. It’s an especially good place to eat with a big group.
