This place was a great surprise, hidden gem. The food was delicious, fresh. They have an open kitchen so you can see the chefs (Luca and Erica) working and it is really nice. I can’t wait to go there again. Our new favorite. An original Italian restaurant. Thanks Luca an Erica, it was our first experience but we already felt like visiting friend in Italy 🇮🇹 ♥️
I never got a chance to try the food, service, or atmosphere because when I got there at 8:20 on Saturday evening (Nov. 2), they were closed. I am not from that area. Went to the Tampa area on an emergency call from a friend who needed a ride. I googled Italian Restaurant and found this place to be highly rated, so we headed that way. We were very hungry and went out of our way to go to this restaurant. We were very disappointed to find them closed (at the least) 40 minutes early.If your actual business hours are different than your google listing business hours, you need to update the hrs on the listing. Thanks,Carol R.Ocala, FL
the food is so amazing i can actually see me eating here again and again it’s top tier
Best Italian in Wesley Chapel! They customized everything in vegetarian for us.Absolutely loved each and every dish!We ordered Luca’s sauce pasta and la pettola which were fresh and delicious!
Went for dinner on a Saturday evening with my wife and had a wonderful experience. The owner and staff were very friendly and genuine. I had the lasagna, and my wife had the beef ragu with rigatoni. Both were exceptional and authentic, but the ragu definitely stood out. Can't wait to go back and try some of the other items on the menu.
Amazing food that is 💯 authentic. The Italian beers and wine pair well with the delicious cuisine. Restaurant is quaint and quirky with personable servers. I very much enjoyed the recommendations! Owner/chef is invested in ensuring you have a great meal. If you are a foodie who appreciates good food without a pretentious environment, this is your place. Absolutely incredible meal and experience.
This place right here! I got the salmon and pasta plate, my son got the ghost burger. Oh my goodness…my dish was definitely top 3 plates I’ve had all year…maybe top 5 ever! That good. My son told me in the car, he was beyond satisfied with his burger. Our server was a young lady who was so very pleasant. Everything was great and they had me practically dreaming about that pasta plate last night. They will always be a go to when im nearby. So glad we found this wonderful place. Keep up the great work!
The best puttanesca I've ever had. Such a treat for us to find such a cozy Italian restaurant. A fresh breath from the big chain Italian restaurants. The chef/owner prepared everything to order. Thank you for a wonderful meal!
Food is great I used to come here for burgers all time time even before when it used to be "Oakley's Grille", still is great. But holy moly $20+ for the burgers is a bit too expensive for me. Definitely tastes great, recommend to try this place out at least once, but hard to see myself come back more often due to the price
Delicious meatballs, perfect burger and amazing Tiramisu. 100% recommended.
Wow. Best Italian food in Tampa. Everything was amazing but you have to try the meatballs, Lucas sauce, ragu, and petolla! Great service. We will be back!
Let me say this: the BEST beef ragu sauce I have ever had. My sister and brother-in-law introduced me to Luca, his wife and the Frammi experience on my recent trip to Tampa. I cannot love this enough. Simple atmosphere but the owners and exceptional food exceed expectations. Please show some love to this small local business. You will be glad you did! I promise!!
Absolutely a wonderful restaurant. We were served by the owner himself, a very nice guy!The food was divine, I highly recommend Pettola.
If you want find a little Italy in Florida, you fave to eat to FRAMMI.Great quality and the food delicious!The restaurant is amazing! The atmosphere is friendliness .Un po' di italianità a Tampa😊
Wonderful experience, Luca and Erika brought a bit of Italy to America. Cozy place and quality food. Full speed ahead guys 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Luca and Erika, you are simply fantastic, congratulations on your catering, I found Italy in the other part of the world. Excellent and quality food. Highly recommended 🫶
I moved here recently from out of state and have been to many Italian restaurants. This gem Frammi is by far my absolute favorite, warm, welcoming, authentic restaurant. The flavors are amazing. Most importantly, the Owners are kind and super fun to talk with. The staff and service are impeccable and it’s a spotless place. Loveeeee Frammi and will enjoy often. Grateful to my new friend who recommended it!!
Food was awesome! I had some calamari with a Ceasar salad, and it was delicious, also came with marinara sauce and lemon halves! I asked for more lemon and they gave it right away! Customer service was on point and food was delicious 😋 very nice people too!
We are so happy to have stumbled upon Frammi. The food was authentically delicious, the service was fantastic and the owner was wonderfully hospitable. Highly recommend this place to everyone.
Very delicious food made with fresh ingredients. It was our first time dinning there and the owner came and introduced himself.
The restaurant is excellent! The service is fantastic! The food is so delicious!We absolutely enjoyed the meal and the friendliness atmosphere. The waiter was so friendly and attentive. The owner introduced himself and told us about the restaurant and the freshened of the food and the special quality of the ingredients, he was so friendly. The food is amazing! Great quality and totally delicious!Highly recommendable!!!! ++++++
Great food and great service! I will definitely go again for the Carbonara. The owner was really nice to us. 9.5/10
It’s like having dinner at grandmas house if grandma lived in Italy! The food is amazing and every time we walk in it’s like coming home.
One of the best dining experiences in Tampa. I have lived in several Italian cities, and the food and atmosphereat Frammi are exactly what you would expect at an authentic family restaurant in old Florence. Luca and his family are absolutely stellar hosts, they make you feel at home. The pasta dishes are incredible and clearly made with great care and attention. Highly recommended 👌
Absolutely delicious meal! Felt like a little piece of Italian heaven. Puttanesca was cooked to perfection! The black angus burger was amazing and brought home dessert for later. Service was exceptional friendly and informative! Thank you for a del ious evening from start to finish!
I 12/10 recommend Frammi to anyone who loves supporting family business and loves Italian cuisine. My boyfriend and I went on a lunch date here and absolutely enjoyed both the meal and the friendliness atmosphere. The owner introduced himself and told us about the restaurant which I thought was very nice of him to do so. Our waiter Diego was also very welcoming and attentive. Prices are fair for the great quality provided in the meal. I will definitely be visiting again :)My boyfriend ate the carbonara and I had the amatriciana. I recommend both ^,^
Food was very yummy the ghost burger was very delicious and it came very quickly.
We haven't been able to make it back to FRAMMI since before covid happened and I am so glad it is just as amazing as the last time we came! The burgers are some of the best we've ever had and we constantly think about making the drive down specifically for them. I have also never seen my daughter inhale spaghetti and meatballs like she did today! Excellent food, attentive service staff, and very kind and friendly owners. 10 out of 10!
I order a double cheese burger medium well. I left the restaurant and came back 7 minutes later expecting to wait a little longer for my food. Immediately after coming back the cook (maybe the owner) tells me it’s going to take 15 to 20 minutes more to make my burger telling me “this is not McDonald’s” further trying to explain it take 30 minutes to grill a burger. In my experience it doesn’t 30 months to grill meat seems excessive. I went to my car thought the tone and attitude I received went in and ask them to cancel the order and get a refund. They refused to give me my money back even though I never received any food. I wish I could leave a review for whether their food is good or not but unfortunately I can’t. The condescending tone and treatment that I received today from Frammi is unacceptable. I’m not fighting with anyone over $29 but they essentially stole my money.
Down to earth, good Italian food. Made with a lot of heart! Had the Kamikaze pasta. A very warm and comforting dish. We also tried the cuban and chicken sandwich. Delicious meat! Thank you for the good food and conversation!
BEST AUTHENTIC italian restaurant . everydish didnt disappoint . felt like we were back in Italy.
We were recommended frammi from a tour guide we had in Rome- had the most amazing authentic meal in fl! Made us feel like we were back in Italy!
Sweet potato fries were on the next level!!!!! I loved them!! Amazing service!!!!! Everyone was super kind!!!
The food was amazing! Defiantly will be back multiple times a week! 100% recommend!
The epitome of a family run old service style restaurant not often found today. The family pours their soul into their service and even more so into their dishes. We ordered four meals between the three of us and all were amazingly fresh and authentically prepared. The dessert was phenomenal as well. The owner/chef visited our table three times to ensure all was ok and to thank us for our patronage. This is now my favorite such restaurant. Well done sir on numerous fronts.
Just had an early dinner at Frammi, and wow, what an experience. The other reviews are correct, it is absolutely the best Italian food I've had. From the moment we walked in, we felt like family.I ordered the Carbonara, and let me tell you, it was spot-on. Best I've ever had. The authenticity of it was so refreshing. The pasta was perfectly cooked, the pancetta had just the right amount of crispiness, and the sauce was so creamy. When I took my first bite, I felt like I was sitting at Luca's dinner table in Italy. I loved that they served it last, keeping it from thickening and congealing. It’s the little details like this that make a huge difference and it shows.I also tried the Uova al Purgatorio, which was absolutely delicious. It’s a family recipe, and you taste it in every bite. The eggs were poached just right in a rich tomato sauce. Super comfort food.Luca was fantastic – super friendly and clearly passionate about his food. He took the time to explain the dishes and made some great recommendations.The whole place has this elegant yet cozy atmosphere. It’s perfect for a date night or just hanging out with friends. In addition to the Carbonara and Uova al Purgatorio, the menu has a ton of classic Italian dishes.Fantastic spot for anyone who loves authentic Italian food. The food is amazing, the service is top-notch, and the atmosphere is great. Highly recommend checking it out! My only regret is that we didn't find it sooner but we will definitely be regulars here.
yummy this is a regular for my fiance and I date night❤️ love the ragu with cream and lasagna.
We love getting takeout from Frammi. The pastas and sauces are out of this world.
Tonight was my first visit to Frammi. Loved the family feel and the food was excellent! Highly recommend this New Tampa restaurant.
Word of mouth restaurant that let's their cuisine do the talking. Love the take out setup, and the puttanesca reminded me of Pelham Bay. Nice blend Wine and the meatballs were flavorful.
Delicious, authentic food from an Italian family-owned and operated restaurant. Highly recommended. Buon appetito.
Very nice family restaurant with fantastic service! I largely recommend getting the eggplant Parmesan as it was my absolute favorite. Also I recommend calling ahead and letting them know what you are going to order before you get there 🙂
Food was amazing. I had spaghetti and meatball. The grouper nuggets and slaw was delicious pernmy husband.
Fantastic food, fantastic people. The lunch was fantastic, 4 people - 3 different dishes. Lasagna, meatball sub and Philly cheesesteak. All were fantastic.
Excellent and authentic Italian food tucked away in a small strip mall. Italian owners/operators put care into every dish. Highly recommend during the summer months when not as busy for immediate seating.
I ordered for pick up guy salsa if 25-30 min.I showed up 40 minutes later as I missed my exit on the freeway.Guy starts yelling at me how late I am.
This place is a hidden gem! I can’t believe we had never been. Will absolutely be a new frequent spot. Owners are great, staff was amazing, relaxed family atmosphere, very inviting and comfortable. Food was delicious, fresh, made with care and passion. Unique and much loved favorite dishes on the menu. An absolute must and the prices are very respectable. Will not leave hungry 💚🤍♥️
Visiting from Jacksonville and will recommend it to this place how to drive a little bit but well worth it; excellent service and excellent food would definitely come again!
We tried it on a whim. So glad we did! Food was fresh and delicious. I had the pasta Carbonara and my husband had the Cuban sandwich. Prices are extremely fair considering the quality of the food. Everything is made to order, so enjoy some wine and conversation while you wait. You’ll be glad you did.
The meal was fantastic! Luca, the chef and owner, was very inviting and friendly as were the staff! The food is all made to order and delicious! I definitely recommend!
We had great experience. My son loved Luca’s pasta and he is hard to please.
Luca is an incredible person, went in for the first time and treated as if i was a long time customer. On top of that the bacon egg and cheese burger is by far one of the best burgers that i've had in florida. Him and his wife are sweethearts and the food is incredible im excited to try everything on the menu now.
This place is ABSOLUTELY Top Tier! The chef is very friendly and knowledgeable. The black Angus burger I ordered was 100% perfect. The restaurant is cool with nice music, And for the same price as burger 21 and 5 guys this place blows them outta the water. I'm coming back to try the Italian side of the menu next. Can't recommend this place enough 10/10.
First time here - it was so good! The owner/chef was very attentive, also. Wonderful atmosphere, and the meatballs were just fabulous! Burger was also great!
Amazing! Best pasta I’ve had in a while since moving here from NY. Very sweet, friendly staff. From the chef/owner to the sweet girl up front taking orders. Thank you so much!
We visited for the first time and all the food was fresh and delicious the service was great and the staff was wonderful. We will be back!
If you want authentic Italian food, look no further than Frammi! The food is wonderful, and the owners are personable, professional, and serve high quality dishes. Everything is homemade and delicious! Highly recommend!
What a great Italian place to eat. The food is delicious all the time. Do not hesitate to try Frammis if you have not. A special shout out to Diego who always provides great customer service.
If you want to eat real Italian dishes or delicious burgers and more, you have chosen the right place!!! Beautiful surprise, great food and great service!! Well done Luca and Erika we will be back again!!
I met a friend at Frammi's for lunch in the New Tampa area near the Home Depot store. It was my first time but it won't be my last. The menu selection for Italian dishes was extensive. My dish of pasta, capers, olives, with a touch of anchovies in a tomato sauce was delicious. I could tell that it was made from scratch. My friend enjoyed a huge salad. We shared a portion of tiramasu, homemade. I'll definitely will be a repeat customer.
Owner greeted me for lunch. Friendly, friendly, welcoming and no fuss. More people should come for Philly Steak Thursdays.
This family-owned Italian restaurant is a gem. From the warm welcome to the impeccable service, everything was perfect. Meeting the owners was a pleasure, and their passion shines through in every aspect of the experience. The food? Outstanding. Authentic flavors, delicious dishes—we'll definitely be back for more.
This is a must to visit place,food is cooked and seasoned to perfection....not to mention I came in at closing and he made sure I left with something to eat
Best Italian cuisine this side of the Atlantic. The chef/owner, takes pride in choosing the freshest ingredients and blends them with love. The pasta Carbonara was a delight, creamy but light. Treat yourself and pay a visit.
A small group of us went to Frammi for lunch yesterday and it was excellent. It is a quaint restaurant with quality food and a versatile menu despite the size of the establishment. A friendly husband and wife team own/operate the restaurant. The service is good and although it may take a little longer than other restaurants to get your food, it is worth the wait because of the care, attention, and expertise the staff put into every menu item. I highly recommend Frammi for lunch and or dinner. There is something for everyone on the menu and although they have a luncheon and dinner menu, they will prepare anything as requested any time they are open. Kudos!
Delicious meatball sandwich. I have had to get one every week since I first dined there. The food is made to order and so worth the wait. Really tasted like a family restaurant. Put this place on your go to.
AMAZING!!!!!!! the food was phenomenal & the staff were so inviting and informative! The food was incredible - I had the spicy Italian sandwhich and my husband had the ghost burger! They were both amazing! We will definitely be back 🙂
Frammi offers a delightful dining experience with a charming ambiance, delicious cuisine, and top-notch service. A must-visit for food enthusiasts seeking a memorable meal. Highly recommended!5 ⭐️
I almost hate to post this review because when people figure out what a delight Frammi is, we might struggle to get a table!We had the privilege of visiting Rome and Naples last year, and everything we had tonight rivaled the best of our experiences in Italy. My husband had the penne Arrabiata (at Italian spice level) and loved it. I'm fairly certain his leftovers won't make it through the night. Our spawn tried Puttanesca for the first time, left a clean plate, and did little happy food wiggles the whole meal. My Carbonara was simultaneously light, rich, creamy...with glorious pops of salt from the pork and zings from the freshly ground pepper. We were also offered fresh garlic bread that was absolutely decadent and a housemade coffee liqueur digestif that paired perfectly with the fresh salame di cioccolato.I can't wait to go back.
Looking for best quality Italian Restaurant in the neighborhood ? Look no further this place is a real ITALIAN deal. Great food, atmosphere, great owners with good hearts where you can tell they care about their customer satisfaction. Many people know me as a restaurant critic but here I really cannot say anything bad. This place is a 5+ star.Perfetto !!!
Absolutely the best pesto I’ve ever had. Home-made real Italian. Wow! I took the few bites that were left over with me because I couldn’t bear to leave it.
Can not say enough about this little hidden gem. Luca is amazing his pasta sauces are too. He makes you feel at home I have had the burgers which a delicious but the pasta dishes are so authentic! We love everything about this tiny little place!
I was touring apartments in the area all day and was absolutely starving. I showed up about 25 till close and they were still so accommodating. I let them pick for me and I had the lasagna, best I’ve ever had sincerely 🤍
I have visited this restaurant several times and always enjoy it very much. Tonight’s meal was my favorite (even tho the lasagna is great). The Fagioli All Uccelletto (cooked beans Italian style) ate like the most delicious bean soup I’ve had. Frammi didn’t scrimp on the sausage and has created the most delicious and rich base that was so flavorful. I enjoyed it so much I placed an order to go for lunch or dinner tomorrow.Don’t miss out on this friendly, clean and delicious neighborhood restaurant. BTW-the bathrooms are the cleanest I’ve seen in a restaurant.
Everything that comes out molten hot. The Philly and every sandwich are great. Wine knowledge
Best birthday Mushroom Swiss burger on the planet. And the birthday candle made it even better.
I would highly recommend this local family own restaurant. Luca and his family/staff are absolutely amazing. After living in Italy for several years and coming back to the United States it was very difficult to find truly authentic Italian dishes. When you order anything on the Italian side of the menu, you will eat an amazing dish as if you were in Italy.All staff at this restaurant are extremely friendly.My wife, my son, and I love eating here and will continue coming back as much as we can. Every time we have family/friends come to visit, this restaurant is always a must.I highly recommend the pasta arrabbiata!
Stepping into Frammi in Tampa was a fantastic experience. We were warmly greeted by the owner and head chef with genuine warmth; it felt as though I was being welcomed home after a long journey. He showed us to our table, and after we explained we had never been here, informed us that everything is fresh and hand made, which would later be discovered in the absolute delectability of each dish. This immediate sense of belonging was just the beginning of a stimulating tasteful dining experience.At the helm of Frammi's kitchen is a chef whose credentials read like a chef who would have worked for Gordan Ramsey. With 15 years of culinary mastery honed in Italy itself, the chef brings not just recipes, but the soul of Italian cooking to Tampa. It's rare to find such authenticity and passion in the kitchen, and it's this combination that sets Frammi apart as a gem in the culinary landscape.The emphasis on cleanliness and hygiene was evident in the pristine condition of the kitchen, visible as a testament to the restaurant's commitment to excellence and safety. This attention to detail extends beyond the kitchen, creating a soothing atmosphere that blends comfort with a touch of elegance, making it the perfect backdrop for a culinary journey.The menu at Frammi is a celebration of Italian flavors, each dish crafted with care and presented as a work of art. The fried calamari was a revelation, tender and crispy in every bite, embodying the perfect marriage of texture and taste. The eggplant Parmesan transported me to the cobblestone streets of Italy, with layers of perfectly cooked eggplant, rich tomato sauce, and molten cheese that melded together in a symphony of flavors. But the crowning jewel of the evening was undoubtedly the tiramisu. Each spoonful was a cloud of creamy, coffee-infused delight, a sweet testament to the chef's skill and creativity.Frammi is not just a restaurant; a culinary delight that I wholeheartedly recommend to anyone in Tampa craving authentic Italian food. The combination of a formally trained chef, friendly staff, clean kitchen, and soothing atmosphere makes Frammi a must-visit destination. Whether you're a connoisseur of Italian cuisine or simply looking for a meal that touches your soul, Frammi promises an experience that's not just eaten, but felt.
The food was outstanding, the burger is truly one of the best in the area. Luka the owner is great company. We will be back!
Celebrated my son’s 21st birthday. I promised you will enjoy every bite.
Everything is truly genuineEverytime I goI would go more if it was closer to meBeautiful people and beautiful food
If you really like a good beef burger, this is the place to go. I haven't enjoy a burger the way I did with this one, in a long time. Great service as well. Come try them out!!!
Pleasant surprise to find such a welcoming atmosphere. The owner and staff checked on us frequently, made sure any questions were answered. Food was delicious, tiramisu was a perfect finish. Looking forward to a return visit. It’s a small gem, you need a reservation for the experience. Super easy reserving thru Google.
I am from North Carolina and have heard nothing but beautiful things and memories from this place from my husband (who originally grew up in Florida) and I finally got to try it.First of all, the immediate friendliness that we were welcomed with pulled me in and made me so excited to try the food. I had pesto and my husband got ragu. Both dishes were some of my favorite dishes I’ve ever had at an Italian restaurant. It’s like a hidden gem, this place. I was blown away by the service, the kindness of the owner to us and our child, and the food was just to die for. I can’t wait to come back and try other dishes. And as often as I am in Florida and North Carolina, I will be talking about this place forever.
The owners are husband and wife from Italy. The atmosphere is friendly and the food is delicious. They have a mixture of authentic Italian dishes as well as popular American fare such as pizza and burgers. They have dine-in and take-out.
This food was so yummy almost made me bust with flavor I’m so happy rn
First, the place is very nice. The attention of the waiters is very polite but without a doubt the attention of the chef is something else, he takes the time to get to know you and explain his dishes. They make everything from scratch. This time we tried the burgers, one of the best I've ever had, their meat is so juicy and perfectly seasoned, everything felt so fresh. And finally we tried the tiramisu, a dessert with a perfect harmony between its sweetness and the coffee flavor, it does not overwhelm you and it seems like it was freshly made, in addition to the fact that its food portions are very generous, of course I will return and highly recommend taste ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ahh y hablan español, no se puede pedir más 🤩
here you can eat the best hamburger with the best meat, excellent food and excellent service. highly recommended. If you want to eat the best burger with the best meat. highly recommended
I was pleasantly surprised!This is a cute little family Owned placeThe food was great and the staff was excellent!I forgot to take a picture before eating because it looked so good I couldn't wait to dig in!We had the carbonara, penne alla vodka , and for dessert the salame al choccolato
The most amazing italian meal ive had in florida! I drive here from Winter Haven to get the delicious pasta. The ingredients are so delicious and fresh, i even bought the oil! The staff is great and so helpful.
From the moment we walked in, we knew we found our new Italian go to. This place has phenomenal service, and feels like home. The chef greeted us and gave us his advice on some of the entrées. He was not pushy at all, and in fact, guided us in a truthful manner. You can also tell that he takes care of his employees by the way he talks to them. This also transfer to the service provided by all members of his team! The food was also amazing and can’t wait to try more options!
I was here for dinner and honestly it felt like I was eating in one of the restaurants I frequent in Italy. Authentic flavors and quality of raw materials. Strongly recommended for anyone who wants to eat True Italian.
Frammi is the best authentic Italian restaurant in the Tampa area. We have spent weeks traveling throughout Italy, and just like dining in a town in Italy, it is quaint and inviting. The owner and chef is straight from Italy. He moved to our area just a few years ago with his family... We are fortunate for this. The food is always perfect, the service is very good. The owners treat you like friends and family. What more can you ask for! Always our go to Italian restaurant 💯
Very disappointed in the service. I’ve been mistreated multiple times when going to pick up my online order. Not accommodating or friendly.
We are from out of town and whenever we are in Wesley Chapel to visit our children (& grandson), we make sure to have dinner at Frammi’s! Lucca and his family/staff are excellent cooks as well as hosts. The food is consistently phenomenal and the hospitality is superb! Keep making the pesto, arrabbiata & salsiccia!!! We will be back very soon!!!
Excellent atmosphere and incredible food! We got the meatballs with marinara, mushroom Swiss burger, and Philly cheesesteak and everything was great. The staff were very friendly as well.
Luca and his family have been a second home since we started coming to Frammi a little over a year ago. My husband lived in Prato when he was in college and fell in love with Italy and the culture. We took a trip to the Tuscany area 2 years ago and I fell in love with it. Shortly after, we found Frammi. The food here is exactly what you would get over in Italy. Luca always makes a point to say hello to us when we walk in. We're treated like family (even when we haven't been in the restaurant in a few months). We bring our families here when they come visit and they are recognized and treated the same. He knows my husband likes the arrabbiata very very spicy. And my 9 montg old son loves the Ragu de Salsiccia. 😆Luca, I can't thank you enough for bringing Italy to us and to Tampa as a whole. I would give Frammi 20 stars if I could. ❤️
Thank you so much is the best Italian food I ever eat, one of the best service. I love you Italy 🇮🇹 chef at his best❤️
My boyfriend made a Valentine’s Day reservation, and we had a GREAT TIME. The salmon, calamari and bruschetta were fabulous! A++++++ Highly Recommend, Bravo 👏
Love this restaurant! The owner and staff are so nice, and always remember us! My friend and I have declared this our go to spot!
Absolutely loved my dinner at frammi yesterday. Highly recommend it!! After having lived in Italy for many years, I was so impressed by the authentic flavors and tastes. It is one of the best Italian restaurants I’ve found in Tampa. I highly recommend the pasta with claims, lasagna and the caprese sandwich! Owners and staff were so incredibly friendly, it made for a great dining experience! Felt back in Italy again for an evening 🙂
Excellent service, amazing food, unique experience. Personalized customer service that goes beyond expectations! Hope to be back soon!
I absolutely LOVED this restaurant! The food was DELICIOUS! It was authentic Italian, lovingly prepared just steps away from our table. I had the Arrabiatta Pasta, Garlic Bread, and Tiramisu. The pasta was cooked perfectly, and had just the right amount of sauce and spiciness. The beautifully toasted garlic bread tasted like it was dressed with Italian olive oil and fresh garlic.... sooooo yummy! We took our dessert home and upon eating it, agreed that it was THE BEST TIRAMISU WE'VE EVER HAD.... it was an instant "Oh my gosh... YUM!" at first bite.Today is a Wednesday evening, and we were fortunate to have met Luca, the chef and owner of this wonderful place. He is charming, funny, generous and kindhearted. We loved this talented and hardworking man, he is a gift to this earth!You've got to go to Frammi's if you haven't been blessed to have been before. If you've been before, it's time you go again!With all honesty I tell you that tonight has been my FAVORITE DINING EXPERIENCE EVER, no doubt about it.Thank you, Luca, it was truly our pleasure to have met you. We wish all the best for you and your family restaurant. You are knocking it out of the park, Sir.... Bravo!
Among many excellent menu items, my favorite is the lasagna. I'm never disappointed.
Best pasta in town! Lasagna was something like I've never had, delicious. Services was great and very sweet!
This quaint restaurant has the makings of greatness; unpretentious home Italian cooking like your Nonna would make. No opera singers or rococo decorations will distract you from the truly delicious dishes the passionate chef, his charming wife and his crew prepares right in front of all to see. You will not find Italian American taste with sweet tomato sauce and exaggerated melted cheese covering the taste of the food. This is real Italian food. The pasta was perfectly al dente, the sauce had the perfect “Quanto Basta”. The customer service is excellent and they will make sure you leave satisfied. The chef will come to your table and his southern Italian passion will convince anyone the pride he takes for the dishes he prepares. The place has few tables so make sure that you call in advance, also make sure you call in advance to reserve food. as the more popular dishes run out fast. This can easily become my go to place to feel and eat like home. complimenti per l'ottima esperienza culinaria !
Had great food and service when we came in for dinner last night. The owner and chef, Luca, took the time to speak with us even though he was extremely busy. He makes his customers feel like friends and family. Given it was a weekend, we made reservations. He has a loyal following who dine in and take out... Our favorites include the Buschetta, Carbonara, Penne alla Vodka, Lasagna, and his freshly made meatballs are not to be missed!!! Pasta is imported from Italy as well as the olive oil from Tuscany.
Authentic Italian food with family style service. My husband and I have eaten a number of meals here and brought our grown children and parents. They all agree that the lasagne is the best we’ve ever had, the bruschetta, the pesto, and the clam pasta are all our favorites. For lunch we’ve enjoyed the cheese steak, chicken tenders, and Cuban sandwiches with crinkle fries, all delicious!Everything is made fresh, so be prepared to enjoy a drink and some conversation, but it’s worth the wait!
Authentic Italian food and the best I’ve found in the Tampa area. Italian Family owned and operated so you get personal care and service by the owners. The food is always amazing whether you get Italian food off the menu or chose the grill menu. The hamburgers are the best in the area in my opinion for the price you pay. We always reserve a table early in the day and you can reserve the eggplant parmesan (my fav) and tiramisu or lasagna in advance so they don’t run out before you arrive. The food is homemade and soooooo good! Oh and the bruschetta is the best I’ve ever had! We took our friends here last night and they loved it! Sorry no fotos because I ate my food so fast I forgot.Ciao! 😊😋
We have been supporters of this restaurant since it opened. (Weekly customers) But recent change in menu and staff has left us very disappointed. Front staff is rude and unhelpful. Take-out times are OVER AN HOUR. (1.5 hours on the weekend!) We love local restaurants but unfortunately this isn’t the place for us anymore.
We love this restaurant. It is family owned (the family is from Italy) and everything is made from quality ingredients - it is obvious. Even the lasagna noodles are homemade. The meatballs are the owner’s grandmother’s recipe. We took a piece of tiramisu with us - outstanding.This is a one-of-a-kind eating establishment. Family-owned and operated, reasonably priced, homemade and imported ingredients, and you don’t need to travel to Italy - it is located right in Tampa!!!
The best Italian food in Tampa. Pasta bologna and the burgers are amazing, the service is outstanding! Thank you 🙏
I think the reviews are fake I came here solely based on them and I’m just wildly disappointed and grossed out the food taste like it’s from a can horrible I was hungry and ate half now I feel sick. Won’t be back
My boyfriend and I had dinner at Frammi on Wednesday and it was fantastic. The penne vodka and the carbonara were DELICIOUS, and the meatballs were some of the best we’ve ever had. Don’t skip on dessert and get the Tiramisu! Such a great hidden gem in New Tampa and the owners are wonderful. We will definitely be back frequently.
This place is truly a hidden gem. My wife and I went for lunch and it did not disappoint! I had the bacon cheeseburger and my wife had the pesto. Their burgers are perhaps the best I have had in a long time. I am not a fan of pesto but after trying my wife’s meal, i would get the pesto in the future. I cannot wait to go back again and try another burger! They have a nice selection of different pastas, burgers, sandwiches, etc and a good description of what each entails. We cannot wait to go back and try something else. The owner was top notch and the service was excellent. We got more food to go since we couldn’t decide what to get when we went. The muffuletta sandwich was excellent and the Reuben was just as good. They are generous with the portions and I guarantee you will not be disappointed!
This experience was outstanding! The customer service was fantastic! The food was incredible! My husband had the BEST burger, my dad had the fried chicken sandwich, and I the Ruben. All were beautiful and so delicious looking! Taste was incredible. This is definitely our favorite restaurant we have explored so far since moving to Tampa!
Frammi’s is by far the most authentic Italian food around. Everything is made to order and the owners are always working and making it a great experience. The meatballs, garlic bread, lasagna and every pasta dish has been perfection. They sell their own olive oil, I highly recommend you buy it!
Frammi is seriously the best restaurant in town!! Between my husband and I and the friends and family we’ve brought we’ve tried several different menu items and everything has been absolutely delicious. Luca and his crew go out of their way to make everyone feel very welcome and Luca does an amazing job crafting every dish and recommending food and wine for your preferences. You really can’t go wrong, but try the Luca’s Sauce pasta and thank me later.
I know you don't really need another 5 star review, but I can't say enough about this place. I found this place thru google looking for a hamburger, and to my surprise found out they also cook Italian food. Authentic Italian food!!!!!! Im from NYC and can attest they are the real deal. I finally got some penne ala vodka in the Tampa area that actually is as good as NY!! The people who work here are kind, attentive and professional. As a newbie to the Tampa area, I def recommend this place to all that miss good Italian food from NY. I had their penne alla vodka, My wife had the Luca sauce pasta, and my son had chicken fingers with fries (not Italian but still was good according to my 7 year old lol). All 3 entrées were delicious.
This place has my heart! Once you come in it feels like you’re at home. Everyone is friendly and welcoming. I’m in love with their lasagna. Luca and Erika are always attentive and make sure that every visit is amazing!
I wanted to try a new place that served burgers and Frammi popped up, so decided to try it. I wasn't sure what I expected, but definitely want to go back and try an Italian entree. The burgers are very meaty, 1/2 pound that's a lot of beef. No fillers, all meat, grilled perfectly. My burger was the Black Angus with provolone and the fries were hot and crispy. My son got the ghost pepper burger with fries The server brought out crispy bread sticks while we waited. The food came out a little slower, as it's prepared as the orders are placed, so very fresh and hot. Glad we tried it.
Absolutely delicious food! Very authentic Italian meals. The chef/owner Luca is the absolute best and super attentive. This is where my family goes anytime we are craving some delicious pasta. We had the carbonara, kamikaze, ragú and vongole and each one was excellent. We also had the tiramisu at the end which is made everyday in house and it is the best tiramisu we have ever had, don’t go there without trying it. Highly recommend this restaurant for anyone that wants authentic Italian pasta made by an Italian chef!
Great for burgers.Eggplant parmigiana was flavorless mush—and eggplant parm is my favorite food.Manager provided alternate dish. Burger remains the best choice.
I hesitated sharing this review because I’d like to keep its greatness all to myself. Went here the other night after looking for somewhere new to try. I had been hesitant to try out Italian food in Tampa since trying Rocca a year ago (that so many people raved over, but let’s be honest, it’s just mediocre). Upon arriving to Frammi, there was a short (under 20 min) wait around 8 pm on a Friday. We had a bottle of very delicious wine, the burrata caprese, luca’s sauce pasta, and another pasta that I can’t remember the name of but it said “light spicy” on the menu, before taking the tiramisu home for dessert. Everything was spectacular! However, for my Alfredo lovers, I HIGHLY recommend the Luca’s Sauce! I asked them if they sold it on its own because I would’ve bought a quart the next time I had guests come over. Unfortunately, they do not sell it on its own. But we did learn that the owner, Luca, created the sauce after he opened the restaurant to cater to Alfredo lovers (as they don’t make this sauce in Italy). He puts every Alfredo pasta I have ever had to shame! Don’t order this unless you want every other Italian restaurant ruined for you!A young man who looked to be in high school was our server, he was very attentive and knowledgeable. And towards the end of our evening, the owner came by to check on us and see how we enjoyed everything.This is clearly a man who loves what he does and puts his heart into it. Everything is made fresh when you order it and it’s so we’ll prepared. I would never send anyone in Tampa to another Italian restaurant as long as this one exists.
My mom and I were in Tampa on vacation and visited this restaurant on 4/25/2023 for dinner based on all of the positive reviews. Our experience couldn't have been better! I ordered the lasagna and my mom ordered the caprese salad. We both came to the same conclusion "this food tastes just like Italy!" We have both been to Italy and believe me, the food tastes just like it does there! So, if you want authentic Italian food and super friendly service from a family owned business that really cares about what they are doing, then this is your place!
Fantastic food. First time going and will be back again! Got the ghost burger which I couldn't find a single flaw about it. Joined the clean plate club as the fries were crispy and just enough salt. So excited to try more they have to offer!
My wife and I both had the bacon egg cheeseburger with gouda cheese, fries and onion rings. EVERYTHING was nothing less than SPECTACULAR! The atmosphere was comfortable and friendly. The 3 staff members were above and beyond our expectations. The entire restaurant, including the bathrooms were nice and clean. We will definitely be going back again and I plan on trying a pasta dish. Kudos and well done!
Most amazing Italian food in the area!Be sure to stop in and say hello to the crew Luca, Erica, Diego and Juan, who do an outstanding job.Awesome customer service..
An authentic family owned establishment with the most detail oriented customer service. All the menu items from breads, pastas, and sandwiches are made to order . If you want real authentic Italian food and wonderful customer service please give Frammi a try !!!
Frammi is a hidden gem. With both American and Italian cuisine. Thankfully it is not a fusion style menu, both menus hold true to their style. Every item is freshly made and cooked to order. Solid burgers (the patty melt hits just right), an awesome fried chicken sandwich, and the fries are done right every time (now krinkle cut my fav). I order extra because they are so good. It has become a Sunday lunch tradition for my family. My 5 year old tells me his order before we even get there. A cheese burger with fries and 3 meatballs on the side. Moving over to the Italian side is equally as good. With just about everything made in house and some ingredients imported as well. The pasta, the meatballs, and the lasagna is fresh baked just before I arrived. I watched them make a meatball sandwich. It was crafted with care. It's the little things I noticed, like hand sprinkling the parmesan vs the assembly line style of a subway restaurant where it's shaked on nonchalantly by some who "just" making a sandwich. Then it's pressed similar to a Cuban sandwich, again its the little things. The owner's friendly service and care taken to ensure you have everything you need it is also noted. All in all Frammi is a worth a visit!
We just could not wait to give our review! Here my husband and I were looking for a place to have a late lunch for Mother’s Day as a treat and we came across this spot after driving by several restaurants that were jammed packed! We were so pleased with how welcoming the entire staff were! Lucas took his time to walk me through on what choice of wine I should have based on the selection of plate. EVERYTHING was delicious! If you’re looking for an affordable authentic meal, then this is the place you don’t want to miss! We will definitely return to try different plates!
Excellent experience - *chef’s kiss*. Went on a Saturday early afternoon, friendly service from both the waiter & chef. Carbonara was deliciously thick & loaded with flavor. Chicken Caesar salad just as great. Will definitely be returning for some authentic food.
By far the BEST FRESH ITALIAN FOOD IN THE AREA!!!! The owners and chefs are absolutely outstanding. 3 Sundays in a row and we have ordered something different each time and all 3 times was better than the last.This is our NEW SUNDAY SPOT!!!
The food in this restaurant is fantastic! Their burgers were outstanding. Their oakfire sauce is amazing with the burgers. When they were voted best burgers in Tampa I can definitely see why. Their staff was also friendly and welcoming. I would recommend anything on their menu and I would highly recommend checking this place out. You won't be disappointed
I absolutely loved my carbonara dish here. It was delicious! Our service was fantastic. The owner Luca, brought out our food. He told us about our dishes that he had made from scratch. We were a party of 3 and we all loved our food! We will definitely be back. If you haven’t tried them before, you will not be disappointed!!
First time at FRAMMIs. Enjoyed a delicious bacon cheeseburger and a spicy Italian sandwich. Both were delicious, as was the pasta sample we were provided. Luca and his family were wonderful and very social. Enjoyed watching them work in the open kitchen. Would definitely go back if we are ever in the area again!
When me and my family first came here, we didn’t know what to expect. There was the choice between the American and Italian cuisine. I was thinking about just having a burger, but their Pesto dish caught my eye and sounded really good. When I took my first bite, it was delicious! It was so good that I ate it down to the last bite and used bread to pick up the remaining sauce on the dish. My parents enjoyed the meatballs and caprese, and we enjoyed their homemade tiramisu and crepe and was the best we ever tried. They had great service, they made us feel welcome, they made sure that we got the best experience, and they were great people! If you’re looking for an authentic Italian restaurant with great service, definitely come this place! It’s a 10 out of 10!👍🏼
This place is amazing! I had the lasagna which was the best I have ever had. My husband and son each had burgers which were delicious, juicy and cooked to perfection! W will definitely be back! FRAMMI is our new favorite place.
Excellent food, excellent service, amazing owner and staff. I go there every time I go to Tampa to visit my daughter and we always have such a great time there. Do yourself a favor go have lunch it's fantastic for dinner.
ADDED 2022:Still love the burgers but have been trying a few of the pasta dishes including pomodoro fresco (delicious).==================================================My family and I are regulars at Oakley Grille. We generally go on Cheeseburger Tuesday and have the special. We love it. I get the sweet potato fries with my burger.I have also had the lasagna on a Sunday night. Very tasty.What makes this place special is the owners and staff. Luca and his family are fantastic and Travis behind the grill is A+.Do yourself a favor and try Oakley Grille today. I have never had a bad meal and I am well into the double digits.
My husband loves their burgers! But tonight I wanted something different. I got the Cuban. It was delicious! The spicy capicola is a great addition. I will definitely order it again. We still haven't had any Italian dishes, that will be next!
Tried this place for the first time while visiting family. I wanted a Burger, I like them juicy, no pink. I usually have to get them well done, because places don’t know how to cook a burger properly. The cook personally came over and asked how I wanted the burger, he said he assures he can get it no pink, and juicy without getting it well done. Well, I must say, he was absolutely right!! The burger was soo juicy, no pink whatsoever! The doors of this place say “The best burger in Tampa”, and I would absolutely agree!! Will definitely be back the next time I’m in the area!!
