The food is definitely worth the trip for lunch. The bakery is awesome! For lunch, the food is a value. Slightly overpriced for dinner. Ordering process is a little confusing, but staff is helpful.

We have a vacation home in St Petersburg and love to find the best restaurants while we are there. Pane Rustica is a local favorite and is in our top three restaurants. Cocktails are great, all the entrees are good, and we always get the dessert. They have a good range of entrees...from pizza to hamburgers to the best scallops... More

The best restaurant in Tampa that doesn't cost you an arm and a leg. The food is fabulous and the bar is great. They use mostly high end liquor at the bar so the drinks can be pricey but they are worth it. The bar tenders like to experiment with drinks so its kind of fun.

This restauant was recommended to us and turned out to be worth the visit. We sat in a booth in the bar and received excellent service. The menu is small but varied with lots of great food. Our waiter was well versed in the field of wine; we learned a lot just listening to him.

We were seated in the front of the dining room across from the bar area. The food and service was excellent. There were four... More

My wife and I live in Tampa, but only recently had friends recommend Pane Rustica which is in the South Tampa area popular with locals and tourists. The restaurant is in a strip malls just south of the corner of MacDill Ave & Bay to Bay Blvd. Parking i excellent, which isn't true for many other restaurants in the area.... More

I've eaten here several times and really can't rave about anything I've had. Parking is a nightmare around lunchtime. It is in a strip mall and it is very crowded at lunch. 2 in our party ordered one of their hamburgers and both were undercooked (ordered medium). They refunded my friends meal as she did not want it recooked and... More
