Reviews for Beccofino Italian Bistro in Tampa, FL
Went for a date night to celebrate our anniversary and my birthday sans kids and it did not disappoint! From start to finish... everything was delicious! It was just so hard to choose! Definitely recommend any of the table side dishes. They all looked sogood. Atmosphere was cozy and romantic and yet homey at the same time. The owner comes around and although I’m sure hispersonality isn’t for everyone, I found it endearing. Just watching him and his family in the restaurant you could tell hejust loves what he does and loves sharing his love for food with others. We will definitely be back! Read more
We were a large group of 15 and were seated in a back room which was very cold until air conditioning adjustments were made. The... waiter took our order for Wine and then came back and took appetizer orders. He didn't want us to order our entrees at that timehowever two people did not order appetizers and he insisted that they order their main dish which was then brought out while wewere eating appetizers. He could have waited until we all ordered our entrees. Most of us enjoyed our food and my plate ofSnapper, shrimp, and scallops was very good and our charcuterie board was also good. Most people said their dinners were verytasty. However they did not give us individual or couple checks. Apparently that is not their standard of operation. For alarger group they give us one total and then figure out how much each of us owes. It winds up to be only a few dollarsdifference but some people wind up subsidizing others who may drink more alcohol or have a more expensive dinner while theydidn't. I have eaten at many restaurants which have no problem in dividing up a bill amongst many people. The waiter just needsto take orders and keep track of who ordered what. It's not rocket science.

My husband and I drove about 1.5 hrs to go to Beccofino frim Kissimmee and it was SO worth it. Before our vacation, we saw a... tiktok of ithis place, got excited about their food and started viewing their menu immediately. That same night we madereservations to visit this cute restaurant. After arriving to Orlando, we made the trip to Tampa. Upon entering, you aretransported to Italy. The owners and staff were so attentive and professional. The restaurant is quaint, small, intimate and hasa romantic feel to it. The ambiance is that of a fancy restaurant and you are treated like a celebrity. Now, on to the food!Just know you can't go with a few dollars in your pocket but rest assured it will be amazing! For my husband's meal, the ownerand chef Antonio used a cheese wheel that was lit up with wine and slowly melted. It was then added to his pasta wilhich addedthe most delicious flavor to it. Mine had 8 types of mushrooms and I wanted truffles added to it. I can't say enough howexquisite the food was! The appetizers and desserts were out of this world as well. I wish we lived closer to visit them again.I really appreciate the owners, Antonio and his lovely wife Elizabetta. If you are in Tampa or near Beccofino, do not miss out! Read more
Wondeful experience. The service was top notch and the food was delicious. Had a great time. The carbonara was one of the best... dishes I've had and the veal porterhouse was melt in your mouth. Definitely will be going back. Read more
I had the privilege of dining at Beccofino last night and can’t say enough good things. I’m already planning a return trip... (and I live in Atlanta). Chef/owner Antonio is not only a fantastic chef, he brings the intimate restaurant to life by visitingwith each table, making recommendations, asking thoughtful questions and making guests laugh. I felt obliged to get the cacio ePepe after watching Antonio work his table side magic. It was delicious. I will absolutely be doing the Chefs Table experiencenext time (6 courses off menu, all planned by Antonio). The rest of the staff were generous and made us feel like royalty,constantly checking in and refilling glasses, without being overbearing. This place is truly special and makes you feel asthough you’ve been transported a world away from Tampa. One thing to note, you will need a reservation! Read more
What a wonderful dining experience from a chef run restaurant. Meals were prepared at table side and everything is freshly made... in house. The owner, Antonio, is not only the chef but also Beccofino's ambassador going table to table. I had the lightestgnochi in cheese sauce that was just wonderful. The outside is not much to look at and parking is limited but once you areinside you are cast into a true Italian atmosphere. I highly recommend Beccofino. Read more

Beccofino! Highly recommend coming here for any occasion. My in-laws came to visit from Marco Island on 10/22/22 and we made... reservations here for dinner. Our family is Italian and we were very impressed with Beccofino. If you are looking for authenticItalian food and an experience like you would get in Italy-this place is for you. Family owned and operated. Their menu iscreated for the purpose of tasting true Italian cuisine so don't try to alter the dish! We will be back! Grazie e mangiamo! Read more
