"The Best, Most Magnificent Italian Food"
"I come down from Nashville,TN twice a yr for 9
yrs now on vacation not only because I love the beaches in Tampa but for this
great Italian food! I always eat here at least 3 times in the seven days of my
vacation ! The owner Luigi always greets us at the door and Sasha and Zack are
my most favorite waiters! I have never ordered anything on the menu that didn't
taste great! And they have the best ........bread and dipping oil and great
dessert's I can't wait to go back even though I was just there 9/5-9/12 .see you
guys hopefully in April or May!" Lisa C. Sept 17, 2009
"A Very Pleasant Surprise"
"“Being from and
growing up in Boston's North End an all Italian neighborhood I think I know a
little bit Italian eateries .With all due respect [I love Florida] finding a
real Italian rest. is next to impossible. Boston, New York's 'little Italy' and
Providence RI. are the only cities to find authentic Italian food. One evening
I came across the Villa and decided to give it a shot not expecting much.
However to my surprise I stumbled across a hidden gem. The food , atmosphere, and
the hospitality reminded me of the real Italian spots in Boston and I have been
back several times since.” Robin Sep 23, 2009
"Incredible Italian"
"“My husband and I are locals, and we go to Villa Gallace a lot when we're in the mood
for Italian. The food is fabulous, the service is good, and the owner is the best. Recommend reservations especially on the
weekends. This restaurant is popular with the locals and can get crowded. My favorite entree is the filet with green
peppercorn sauce paired with their appetizer of gnocci with gorgonzola cream sauce. Divine!” Floridian Jul 24, 2009

"The best of the Best"
"“I am from New Jersey and stay in Largo for the Winter. Villa Gallace is as fine a
restaurant as I've ever been in. We were there last night and again it was a wonderful experience. The room is intimate
and charming. The service is the finest and the food is out of this world. The owner, Luigi, always welcomes us and Zak,
our favorite waiter, makes sure that every detail of the dinner is just as we like. The patrons are varied. I have seen
families with young children enjoying their meal as well as the much to be expected older crowd. They handle large
parties as well as intimate dinners for two. Last night we had the veal chop and shrimp
Portobello. Bravo to the chef!
We'll be enjoying the take home portion (too much for one sitting) again today. Prices are reasonable and there is an
extensive wine list. I'm shooting myself in the foot passing along this gem. We've never had a problem getting a reservation.
But I'm sure Luigi would accommodate us if the traffic gets too heavy. Make it a must on your next trip.” jm Mar 27, 2009
"Best Italian (Like NYC)!!"
"“We eat at Villa Gallace's every time we are in Florida. Compares to the best Italian food
I've ever had in NYC. The chef is from Palermo and the owner is very gracious and accommodating. The fish is fresh and delicious
and the pastas and veal chop are to die for. If you want "excellent" Italian Food - go to Indian Rocks Beach and visit Luigi at
Villa Gallace. You won't be disappointed. Casual attire and dining. A MUST GO FOR GREAT FOOD!!!!!” Shelly NY
"Best Italian by the Beach"
"“We recently dined for a second time at this restaurant. The food and service is AMAZING!!
It's such an authentic Italian restaurant-not a tourist trap like many of them in the area. The Gnocci is to die for-just like
the Gnocci we had in Naples, Italy. Dining at Villa Gallace has become at tradition for us each time we vacation in Florida. Enjoy!”
"REAL Italian Food in Florida"
"Thank God for Luigi bringing Real New York Italian food to Florida! This is the real deal -- no
jarred sauces here. Everything was fresh, made to order. The service was top notch. Our waitress was great. Luigi treated us like
family. He is personable with all the patrons. We can't wait to go back to Indian Rocks to dine there again! If you're picky about
your Italian food then you must go to Villa Gallace! We even brought our 9 & 6 year old and he had a great kids menu and treated
them great too!
