Reviews for Viva Napoli Restaurant & Pizzeria in Tampa, FL

Great hidden gem! The food is phenomenal! My family went for dinner and had the gnocchi Al pistachio, Al tartufo pizza, pizza... meatlovers, and cannoli for dessert. We always try different Italian restaurants and this has got to be one of the best, mostauthentic Italian restaurants in South Tampa. Very fresh ingredients, clean and pleasant atmosphere, and friendly staff. Willdefinitely be back soon! Read more

My friend and I stopped by on a Friday night and got seated right away. The friend ordered Bucatini alla Carbonara and I ordered... Pizza Parmigiana. The bucatini came out a bit lukewarm, so we asked for it to be heated up. They obliged, and it made a hugedifference. Could maybe have had a little more bacon for a carbonara, but still delicious. The pizza, however, was absolutelyfantastic! Granted, I haven’t been in Tampa too long, but this was easily my favorite pizza since I moved here. The crust wasairy and cooked all the way through in the center, and the sauce and toppings were all delicious. Coupled with a cute mural onthe wall, and I know I will be back for more. Read more

The rest of the table had pasta and said it was fabulous. We will def be goingback more frequently! It’s one of those hidden gems in south Tampa. #SunshineReviews Read more

The best Italian in Tampa, authentic and consistent cuisine. My family has tried alot of the menu items and we each have... multiple favorites, so it makes it hard to order. I worked in Italian restaurants and I have a critical palat for this cusine.The menu is rustic and very creative. Read more

We drove 30 min to this place! And it was so worth it!! Very nice and friendly stuff, we were served very quickly and the food... was amazing! We had Impepata di cozze(mussels), lobster ravioli, Crudo e rucola(prosciutto pizza) and Al Tartufo (black trufflecheese pizza). Everything tasted so good! We will be back for sure Read more

Pleased to have a bistro, restaurant- pizzeria, (with atmosphere, Vibes that match it's name), arrive in our South Tampa... neighborhood! The dim lighting, murals painted surrounding the inside dining area, bistro tables, definitely provided a uniquedining experience in this part of Tampa. When we arrived it was difficult to find a parking space. At 6:30ish, the stores thatsurround it were all closed, every spot taken, so definitely popular already, I ordered a custom for one, Margarita white creambase pizza with spinach tomato, ricotta mozzarella, and it was absolutely delightful, fresh and enough left over for two forlunch the next day! For an appetizer, we had, calamari, everyone at the table said it was some of the best they'd had, cookedto perfection not chewy, not overdone just right. Our second appetizer, bruschetta was some of the freshest I've had. Someonein my party had veal, and said it wasn't bad although he said "my wife makes the best veal!" so maybe he was biased? With theappetizers, shared bottle of wine, and a few other cocktails and entrees we spent about $35 to $40 per person. Viva Napolirestaurant and pizzeria has been mentioned by many friends, was highly recommended, intrigued this made it our chosen spot totry, this weekend, for a family dinner, clearly the word has spread and continues to .. I personally highly recommend theirPizza, the crust was not doughy, or too crispy, and it was just as delicious the next day! Several other signature Italian, menuoptions. Read more

Pretty good food. Terrible location. The chicken Parm was mostly good but had quite a bit of gristle. My wife got a pizza that... was good, although one side of it was burnt...like solid black. The part that wasn't burned had a decent chew on the crust anddelicious toppings. We didn't feel safe here at all. And the parking lot is in disarray. The stones around the sign were allover the place. This spot has potential, but unless they change substantially, we won't be back. The toilet in the bathroom wasalso disgusting. Read more

I hate to be this person, but don’t do it. Don’t go here. We spent our Valentine’s Day dinner here - the calamari was... okay. We’re big calamari fans and though the portion was large, the quality wasn’t there. For dinner we ordered the special- “handmade heart shaped lobster ravioli on shrimp sauce” as well as their house special the pistachio pizza. Everythingarrived looking lovely - heart shaped pasta and the pizza was also heart shaped. We took our first bite of the heart shapedravioli to find the lobster stuffing was still frozen. We took another bite with the sauce - the sauce was also cold. I havenever been to an Italian restaurant, ordered ravioli and had it served slightly thawed. It was revolting. The waitress did takethe plate to be remade but our stomach were already turned and we asked to have it removed from the bill, which was honored. Thepizza was good, but we only managed a few bites after the frozen lobster fiasco. Again, the frozen food was removed from ourbill so we’re thankful for that. However, I still would not recommend this restaurant from our experience. Read more
