   What a lovely restaurant and the staff was top notch. We loved the menu very modern. Atmosphere very hip and we enjoyed our meals very much. We will definitely come back. As a full time resident here it’s great to have such a fine restaurant nearby.

   Always inventive and subtle improvements on traditional Italian dishes. Interesting wines, especially from Italy. Last night we enjoyed a fantastic Arneis from the Piedmonte region which paired perfectly with our branzino. The agnolotti pasta with ramps was such an amazing dish - we might have to come back just for that one. Always gracious service and truly skilled bartenders. We most definitely will definitely be Ritorno'ing....hahaha.

   Dinner was exceptional! The risotto melted in my mouth, was rich and decedenct, everything you would want in that type of dish. The shaved black truffles enhanced the aroma of the dish and elevated the flavor profile to the next level. My friend, a 72 Italian lady from Rome who is VERY particular about her pasta, was enchanted with the bucatini pomodoro. Commenting about the homemade freshness and perfect balance of tomatoes and heavy cream. We were too stuffed for any sweet treats, but next time I'll try to restrain myself with the earlier courses so I can conclude my meal properly! Bravo on a job well done, I will certainly be back with friends and clients in the future.

   I’ve eaten in many of the finest restaurants throughout Italy, and like to think I have a discerning palate. With that, I can say that il Ritorno’s Bucatini Pomodoro w/ Fresh Basil, Ligurian Olive Oil and Burrata is the best tomato-based pasta dish that I’ve had in the entire Tampa Bay Area! Well done Chef!

    Everything was absolutely wonderful! The atmosphere was perfect. The service was attentive and personable. I felt like our server truly wanted us to have a fantastic experience and we did. Everything we ate was delicious. The cocktails were balanced. It was fun to watch the going-ons in the kitchen. We will definitely be back. This is one of the best, if not the best, restaurant in St. Pete. Kudos to their entire staff for a memorable experience!
