Beccofino Italian Bistro - Tampa, Florida

Authentic Italian Dining with Exceptional Hospitality

I had the pleasure of dining at Beccofino last night, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. The mixed meat plate I ordered was absolutely phenomenal—cooked to perfection and bursting with authentic Italian flavors. Their pappardelle pasta and chocolate mousse dessert was also delicious.

Our waiter, Ryan, was both friendly and hilarious, adding so much charm to the evening. However, the real highlight was meeting the owners, Antonio and his wife Elizabeth. They went out of their way to make us feel welcomed, sharing drinks and stories that gave us a glimpse into their passion for creating a warm, personal dining experience. It’s clear they deeply value building connections with their guests.

What’s even more remarkable is how they handled adversity with such grace. Their restaurant staff was affected by the recent hurricane, yet Antonio and Elizabeth went above and beyond to ensure we had an amazing evening. Their resilience and dedication to their craft truly shine through.

If you’re looking for an authentic Italian meal paired with heartfelt hospitality, look no further than Beccofino. This is more than just a restaurant—it’s a place where great food and genuine connections come together. I will 100% be returning.

Please disregard any of the negative reviews you may have seen on Yelp and go to Beccofino. This is the most authentic italian experience with incredible hospitality. The food was fantastic, never over salted or unflavored. I had the Pappardelle al Tartufo and can confirm it does not leave you feeling heavy which i can only assume is due to the fresh ingredients they use. We had the Buratta as an appetizer which was also a delight. Topped dinner off with a chocolate mousse that is for the purest of chocolate lovers. They even threw in a cheese taste sample surprise. By far one of the best restaurant experiences I've had and it was all due to the incredible owners Antonio and his wife, Elizabeth. They have truly created a space that is about the experience, not just the food. They went out of their way to make us feel welcomed, sharing drinks and stories that showed us their passion for this industry and creating connections with their guests. I have never been to a restaurant where the owners invite you to join them after your meal to sit and continue the night with them. The waiter, Ryan, also had a huge part in making the night with answering all our questions and adding charm to the evening. I can honestly say l am already thinking of the next time I'm going to try more of the menu out! Highly recommend.

A hidden treasure in South Tampa: the best, authentic Italian restaurant in town! Amazing food with an amazing atmosphere. Please come. Do anything you can to come here!

Highly Recommend! Family owned and operated. The chef and owner, Antonio, always goes out of his way to make you feel welcome. The wine pairing recommendations are always spot on. Also, try his new bar out back, B4.

Beccofino is where food is art! Every dish is creative and delicious. Starting with the most unique charcuterie platter…the variety of ingredients is out of this world: cured boar, duck, chicken pate, the most fresh cheeses, and the list goes on. Even the most traditional ingredient, the bread…was special and memorable. Truly! I’ve been coming here for years since the restaurant opened. The only time I have Italian food like this is when I am visiting Italy! My only regret is that I come here on special occasions…which I have realized should change - I deserve to eat high quality delicious meals like this all the time 🙂

Both my friend and I were very pleased with the food, choice of wine, service, and the ambience. This is what a restaurant is supposed to be - Atmosphere, the owner coming to the table and acknowledging us and asking us how our food is. You will think you are in Italy!

Eccezionale! I love supporting local and believe in experiences. Beccofino did not disappoint. It is authentic Italian food, fresh and flavorful. The owners and the staff were true professionals. The food was amazing and the memories made that night were priceless. I can’t wait to go back. They are a true gem.

Beccofino truly is one of a kind. You can’t compare the atmosphere, hospitality, or food to anywhere else because they are so unique and personable. My husband and I had the pleasure of celebrating his birthday here last night and we had the best time. From the incredible wine selection to the unique dishes, this was a culinary experience we will be sure to talk about for years to come. We started with the beef tartar, I ordered the lobster pasta, my husband ordered the elk, and we finished with both the chocolate mousse and the crème brûlée. The crème brûlée was unlike any other we have ever had. It had a hint of lemon and was perfectly balanced. Antonio, we will definitely be back! Thank you for the incredible experience, great conversation, and warmth you shared with us.
