We ate in, which was probably a mistake as they seem to be geared towards takeout and delivery. The staff didn't know how to handle dine-in customers. The pizza is fine, glad that they have gluten free crust options, but the rice flour crust was burned on the outside and tasteless. It was a meh experience.

Water and Flour is a place of delight in Soho. The perfect blend of various cuisines offered to delight each and every person. They offer Japanese, American, Italian, and Mexican. This is an ideal place to dine at as you can make it the ideal experience you picture. It can be a quick in and out dine with casual dress, but you can also have a fancy dining experience. This was not my first time dining at this place, and it is safe to say they amaze me each time. The servers are all super sweet and willing to do anything for you. I never had a time where I was sitting there waiting to be served needing something. The décor is welcoming and I always recommend siting outside in the tropical temperatures with palm trees hugging you by all corners. There drink menu is not the biggest one but they do offer basically anything you would want. They have various cocktails, bubbly and rose, red wine, white wine, beer, and seltzers. We got the Snoop’s Garden cocktail which is gin, strawberry basil shrub, agave, and lemon juice. I like the sweeter side of things when it comes to drinks. If you do not like sweet drinks, this is not the one for you unfortunately. However, it is such a refreshing drink that is full of flavor. We started with two apps, the crispy rice with spicy ahi tuna and the volcano roll. The crispy rice was a perfect blend of crunchy, creamy, and fresh tasting. The sriracha aloli brought it all together making the tuna taste even better. The 8-roll sushi was filled to the brim bringing all tastes of the ocean together. It included crab, shrimp, cucumber, avocado, scallions, a kabayaki glaze, sriracha aloli, and sesame aioli. My server was very polite and recommended to get an extra side of aloli which was a perfect addition. The sushi was one of the best rolls I have had in Tampa even considering restaurants that purely only offer sushi. For our entrees, we got the mushroom marsala fresh pasta and the Tuscan brick oven pizza. Personally, I believe rigatoni is the best pasta option to go with. The marsala wine mushroom sauce was on the thicker side. The creamy sauce was perfect and I will definitely be getting this again in the future. My boyfriend was very satisfied with the 6 slice 12-inch personal pizza. The dough was fluffy in the crust but the naturally fermented sourdough crust had a perfect burn throughout the pie. For those interested in the pizza and pasta, they also have gluten free options as well. You need to check out Water and Flour for the perfect blend of tastes, cuisines, and ambience. They also have specials and happy hour from the hours of 4-7 pm if you’re looking for some good food for a good deal for your buck. Go get the pasta if you want a filling, delicious, and perfect portioned entrée, and make sure to try one of their fresh cocktails! If you go… Where: 1015 S Howard Ave, Tampa, FL 33606 Hours: 11 am to 6 pm Prices: $18-$25 per person

Okay guys Forbici was great it was the best place to go after my best friend bought her wedding dress. The eggplant lasagna was a gluten free dream. They had the spookiest decorations in Hyde Park! And the cacio e pepe transported me back to Italy!

You need a treat from here. They have some of the tastiest Italian cookies and treats. Everything is fresh and the people are nice. Tucked in at Hyde Park Village, they have a few tables inside and outside for you to sit and enjoy. They even have a few gluten free cookies.

We went there for our anniversary dinner. We had the Burrata with pistachio butter and tomato jam for starters, Radiatore with truffles and mushrooms, and Rigatoni with charred tomatoes for the mains, and creamed spinach and eggplant polpette for the sides. We also had a smoked old fashioned and Amalfi passion fruit gin drink. Since we are vegetarian and my husband doesn’t eat eggs, we were offered the gluten-free lentil pasta option, and therefore instead of radiatore and rigatoni, we had penne in other of our pasta dishes. Everything was super delicious and very filling- so much that we didn’t have room for dessert! I especially recommend the radiatore and the burrata. If you’re a vegetarian or if you don’t eat eggs, you will not be disappointed with the food at Timpano. However, there were a few downers too. The first was that the maitre d’ was pretty rude and unwelcoming in her tone and demeanor. I had made a reservation the day before. Upon arriving, the host asked my name a couple of times and even though it is an Indian name it is not difficult to pronounce or spell. She told me she didn’t have my reservation when I had made one the day before and also called again earlier the same day before visiting to move the reservation to 8:30. However, she offered me a reservation at the moment. The second was that even though there wasn’t too much of a rush as it was a Thursday, the waiters seemed to be running around initially and didn’t even offer or ask us for water. During the course of our dinner, our server became more attentive and asked us about door and such, and packed out leftovers for us. If I go here again, it is definitely for the food.
