Best upscale dinning in Pinellas . Intimate, quiet,great people and great food. Numero uno !!
EXCEPTIONAL!!! WOW…. Massimo’s Exceeded our Expectations!!! We were greeted by the beautiful smile of our server Jennifer, who welcomed us in & shared with us the very interesting history of Massimo’s. She shared with us the night’s specials & showed us patience as we asked an array of questions. I have severe food allergies so I spoke with Jennifer about my concerns and the next thing I knew Massimo himself, ( the owner & the chef) came to our table to discuss the many options I had where he could accommodate my allergies. All of us at the table were sooo very impressed that during a busy evening Massimo took the time to speak with me personally to discuss creating a meal for me. Dinner was served with a gorgeous presentation & Absolutely DELICIOUS!!!! Chef Massimo made me the Halibut Special with a flavorful garlic sauce, side of sauted vegetables as well as a delightful pasta with red sauce. All four of us devoured our incredible meals with sheer delight. Jennifer did not miss a beat and kept a close eye on us, keeping our wine & water glasses filled, checking to see how we were doing and if we needed anything at all. She was so very kind & friendly and she & Massimo made the night extra special. I highly recommend Massimo’s as it is a true Class Act Restaurant where your dining experience is Top Notch!!! Thank you Massimo & Jennifer for your superb hospitality & for the perfect dining experience. See you both again real soon:)
The ELK dinner was phenomenal. It tickled my tastebuds! Exceptional restaurant in every way. Small restaurant with limited space so be sure to reserve well in advance.
The service was perfect, our table ordered the OssoBuco and the Bolognese. Both were truly outstanding and authentic Italian. Jennifer our server was excellent also Parking: At the end of a plaza that as an outback so there is plenty of parking. Make reservations!!
Restaurants that's in back of the strip mall . I had the lobster bisque soup which every spoonful had a chunk of lobster. I also had the lobster ravioli was delicious great food great time I really recommend this place.
Incredible food as always!!
To start, the service was good. The wait staff were very attentive and nice. And the set up was somewhat cute. Seems like a good quiet spot to bring a family. Which I don't have! So it probably means I won't return. But to end... I think if you took the "Fine Dining" label away, and reduced the prices, it would be just another okay restaurant. The food wasn't horrible, but it wasn't great either. I wouldn't classify this place as "Fine Dining". The main dining area also smelled of toilets. Not something you want to smell while having a meal.
We hosted my dad’s 70th birthday party at Massimo’s last night and I just have to say what a pleasure the whole experience was. I called to book the room and from there Massimo and his staff took great care of us from start to finish. The food and wine was all absolutely delicious, and our server Bethlehem took great care of us all night. We had so much fun and can’t wait to come back!
