Bernini Restaurant

Fantastic restaurant! For over a decade, my wife and I have been overwhelmingly pleased with every visit. The menu is creative and delicious. The staff is always warm and welcoming.

Good place. Good decor. For the price, the food could have been a bit better. Lamb chops were good. Potatoes were a bit underdone during another visit when I tried the grouper. A colleague had cold gniocchi with an excess of sauce which is a bit disappointing.Wait staff was very nice and it is in a good location.

The bacon wrapped shrimp and margaritas are excellent. Loved going for happy hour. Always pleasant staff.

Excellent food and outstanding service. Pricing is reasonable to begin with, but the happy hour pricing is unbelievable. When the check came I thought someone had made a mistake. Nope, the dinner was half off. Can't recommend more highly.

Bernini is a little Italian treat in Ybor. The charming aesthetic is welcoming, the wine selection is commendable, and you can't go wrong with any of the menu options. Splitting a pizza and salad was perfect for two. Note that the local beers are from cans rather than tap.

Not really Italian. The presentation was great, but I was disappointed in the flavor of the food. My chicken was defrosted, the Alfredo sauce was from a jar and the Caesar dressing was not Caesar dressing but a version of, which I've tasted at a Latin restaurant. Iuk! The garlic rolls were good, though, and the mixed salad, without the dressing.So, do not come here to impress a friend with the food. (I did that, and it was embarrassing. Thank goodness she asked for a super simple dish without sauce and she liked her food.)Come for the ambiance, which is super cozy, and drinks.

I went here for the pizza and ended up loving everything. My waitress, Sheri, was awesome. She made all the right suggestions. The garlic knots were for once literally knots of dough that were the size of small cinnamon rolls. The pizza was a little thin, but tasted great. The bread pudding sealed the deal. It came out steaming, drizzled in chocolate, and with a side of ice cream. If you order nothing else, get the bread pudding!

Holy cow this place is SOOOO good! The food was amazing. The service impeccable. The atmosphere divine. I absolutely adored our meal there. Prices are extremely affordable too! So so so good.

I had the dinner special of shrimp gnocchi with asparagus and blistered grape tomatoes. It was tasty, but the portion size was relatively small. I wish I had thought to take a picture of the meal. The service was a little slow, maybe because the place was packed full.

Absolutely beautiful place with amazing food and a decent wine selection. We came on a business trip and they easily accommodated our last-minute party of 8 at dinnertime. Our service was impeccable as well.
