To me and my Sicilian wife, Forbici is the best Italian in the Tampa Bay area. The staff is always personable, very helpful, and professional...never rude like so many restaurants these days. And the food never disappoints. Good quality, great taste, and fair prices...affordable when so many are not. And now they've added a spot in St. Pete which is closer to us in St. Pete Beach. But I do love the Tampa location and it is worth the drive to wander through Hyde Park's elegant shopping area and enjoy the restaurant as well. Altogether a gem of Italian dining now in TWO locations.
