Best Authentic Restaurants in Wesley Chapel

I've probably eaten here about a dozen times now and it's consistently awesome. Jordan is my favorite server - we've gotten to know her and she's such a joy to see. The food is extremely fresh and hits the spot every time. It's our go-to place in Wesley Chapel for a great meal that's close by and consistent. One of the best dishes there in my opinion is the Yuzu Salmon from the sushi appetizers. It melts in your mouth and a must get every time I'm there. The Lobster is a terrific sushi roll and worth the price. It's a full lobster tail that's tempura fried in the roll but also 4 nice size pieces of lobster tempura fried on their own. I've eaten sushi in MANY places and there's something different about Umu. For one, I always sub soy paper for the nori in other places but theirs is never chewy or strong flavored so I no longer sub it out. Their wasabi is fresher than any other place too. A tiny bit goes a long way, whereas I always have to order extra at other places. The serving size is perfect, the rice and the prep- perfect. I will continue to return many times!

If you want the best pasta outside of Italy this is the place to come. The flavors are as big as the portions and you can smell and taste the quality of the ingredients used. The bolognese with the wine pasta is my favorite, but I also love the sausage and red pepper sauce. The buffalo milk ricotta on top is a must! The service is great too and Chef Chris makes the visit feel very personal. Don't forget to pick his brain for wine. He is very knowledgeable and the wine list is impressive with lots of unique and small production wines from all over the world.

Wonderful Mexican restaurant with authentic dishes. Excellent quality food and drinks. Nice bar and general ambiance. Music was interesting with a mix of Cuban Mexican Spanish and Italian opera. Wonderful

First time but not last time...Great portion sizes, fantastic flavor, and margaritas were awesome!
