I enjoyed Pia’s so much!! I ordered the radiator pasta, I cleaned the plate. The shrimp and Italian sausage were delicious, never had that type of pasta before, such a great dish. I went on a Friday night with a group of friends and we drank and chatted until beyond closing and they did not kick us out, such great hospitality!
Delicious food and lovely atmosphere here. Our server was great and decorated the table for our birthday celebration! Highly recommend
My wife and I took a short trip from Tampa to Gulfport to look at the little art galleries and shops. She had eaten lunch at Pia's before, so we decided to try it for dinner. It is a very large restaurant and there is seating inside, outside in a covered area, and even outside without any cover. The service was very good and the food was excellent. The bread is to die for. And they make a salad dressing of their own that is killer. I had the eggplant Parmesan and my wife had shrimp scampi and both were delicious. We highly recommend Pia's after visiting the art galleries. Or before, if you prefer to do it that way, lol.
We had our baby shower here and it was absolutely magical in every single way. The staff is absolutely top tier — incredible people and a well-oiled machine. They communicated so well and made the experience perfect for every guest. The overall accommodations for the event were also absolutely perfect. Decor, tables, setup — everything was stunning and all of our guests were thoroughly impressed. To top it all off, the food was amazing as always. 10000/10, we cannot say enough good things about this place!
My FAVORITE restaurant we went to while staying in St Petersburg. We were able to eat on the Veranda Wednesday night around 6:30 with no wait time and the atmosphere was amazing. Our server was kind enough to take a few photos and the food was so tasty! With the music and atmosphere, I felt like I was in a little restaurant in Italy. If we ever come back to the area, this will always be a must!
Some of the brst Italian food I've had in a while!! From start to finish, every bit of this experience was exceptional! The cozy and true to Italian home building, the exceptional service and wine list (I knew I was in for a treat when they had a whole page of Amarone wines), and the aromatic and hearty meals (the shrimp scampi and chicken parm were on point!
Wow first Gulfport, FL is amazing and so much fun. We were introduced to Pia’s by a friend and we are thankful! What an amazing place with a great vibe, staff and amazing food options. We are on the veranda but they have many other options. 5 star-bruschetta, caprese salad as appetizers. 5 star entrees-veal parmigiana, roasted eggplant, shrimp scampi and fresh mussels. All dishes had homemade pasta!in Large portions. Dessert menu looked great but we were too full to eat anymore.
My family raved about this restaurant in Gulfport, and I have to admit, I was a little skeptical—but it completely blew me away. I'm usually not a fan of bread, but theirs was absolutely incredible. The mussels in red sauce were a knockout; honestly, I could have stopped there and been perfectly happy. I also had a pasta special for my main course, which was delicious, but by then I was already completely full. The drinks were great, too. Our waiter was amazing and incredibly knowledgeable. I can't wait to go back as soon as possible!
