πΊπΈ Tampa | Where to Go for Dinner?
π Olivia π 3601 W Swann Ave, Tampa, FL 33609 One of the well-known restaurants on Swann Avenue! π½οΈ Great food, service, and atmosphere. We went on a Tuesday night β almost full but no wait, and parking was easy. Highly recommend! Hope this review helps you decide π 1οΈβ£ Squid Ink Casarecce π¦ Many recommended this, so we ordered it. Flavor was good, but the pasta was quite firm β even firmer than al dente. Still, we finished every bite! Think of it as a "teething snack" for 360-month-old babies π 2οΈβ£ Tomato Bucatini π A solid, reliable tomato pasta β hard to go wrong with tomatoes! This one was cooked to perfect al dente. 3οΈβ£ Calabrian Corn π½ My friend was skeptical (bad experience in CancΓΊn), but this was different! CancΓΊnβs was lime-heavy β Oliviaβs is tangy + buttery. π Definitely a yes if you like corn! 4οΈβ£ Truffle Fries π The truffle is pretty mild β basically fancy fries. I prefer the Mentaiko Fries at Susuru in Orlando (note to self: write a Susuru review soon!). 5οΈβ£ Honey Ham Pizza π Charred crust = very Italian! I love Neapolitan-style pizza β the crust was airy, chewy, and crispy. Toppings were simple but delicious. Overall, a great spot for dinner with friends! π―ββοΈ Best to make a reservation just in case. π§₯ Bring a jacket β the AC is strong! My only regret: I was the driver, so no wine ππ·β¦ If you love drinking, maybe stay home for that π #100RestaurantsChallenge#TampaEats#DinnerSpot
