From the maitre d getting us without reservations after 8:30, an incredible wait staff, and exquisite cuisine, it was a wonderful experience all the way around. Chef's Specials show absolute talent. More...

The food was excellent and the servers did an amazing job taking care of us. Our meals came with bread and a choice of soup and salad. If you dine in, don't skip the desert. One of the best desserts we had in a while. The restaurant was on the expensive side but the potions & service did not disappoint. Highly recommend for a date night or anniversary celebrations. Getting our food was slow but the stuff apologized and explained that a couple of big tables showed up right before us. More...

Da Sesto is certainly a long-established dining experience to enjoy. It's a small, intimate setting with something of a "mafia" theme. Service was almost over the top with attentiveness like they genuinely mean to please. While I don't feel their pricing is out of line, your wallet will take a hit here. While I readily acknowledged their culinary cred, I was not especially impressed with my dish and was tempted to send it back. I feel confident that they would have accommodated me. The dessert was a real masterpiece though. Should you dine here? Yes, and expect to be pampered. But like anywhere, order carefully. Parking: Near the southeast corner of Park and 66th, so plan your approach in advance. Best coming from the south on 66th, or the east through the neighborhood. More...

I took a long minute to decide how to review this establishment. The food was very tasty, lets get that right; however the plating was very dull and drab. I ordered a seafood rissoto( hit the table looking alot like a glob of lumpy hot cereal) no garnish, seafood wasnt highlighted🤷 with grilled artichoke as a side, it was Very good and something you cant order just anywhere. The service was fair- our waiter was adequate. I was surprised to hear that they put a whole thin slice of lemon on top of their tea. our waiter was surprised that I wanted my lemon on the side. This topic is a peeve of mine, I do not want to need to dip my fingers in my tea in order to retrieve a lemon from it so that I can squeeze the lemon juice into my tea🤦 The rest of our service from him was just adequate, it lacked friendliness. I dont think he smiled once. I will dine here again, they had several menu items Id like to try and I know the flavors are there and the prices were fair and reasonable for what I received👌 More...

Some highs and lows with this place. Veal pouch was good lamb chops were not. I ordered the pappardelle mamma Angela. IT was just pappardelle with a little cream sauce. I had to ask for extra sauce.

Amazing authentic Italian that feels likes you’re in a speakeasy downtown instead of Pinellas Park!

Definitely make a reservation! Nice Ambiance and the wait staff is excellent. I would say the dishes we had were about average. Pricing is a bit high for the area but that's my own personal opinion. Daily specials looked good. More...

Fresh pasta is good, sauces premade overly salty! Crooks they changed us $46 for added stake to the pasta - item that doesn’t exist on the menu ( the menu has $16 price for stake ) The table next to us had a similar issue Basically watch out or better stay away

This hidden gem of authentic Italian food is beyond amazing ! The experience was amazing and the gnocchi was delicious. I have not had gnocchi like that in so long ! ! We sat at the bar and Ashely was our bartender, she made excellent recommendations and service was 5 stars all around ! My husband loved the cigar selections and enjoy the outside patio to smoke it , safe to say we will definitely be back. More...

We love their food, service and atmosphere! Really, they have some of the best service staff around, and the wine list is great. We particularly like their Amarone selection. The statue greeting us at the door always sets me back. Stop in and see why. Cocktails and a cigar on the patio are always fun, too. More...

Great food and fantastic service. Best egg plant and chicken parmasan in St Pete. Kyle, our server, paced the meal so we had enough time time to make our show.

My husband and I love to eat here, they have the best chicken marsaula we have ever eaten. All freshly made and the pasta is to die for. The atmosphere is inviting and lovely. The staff are fantastic. We have gone here for over two years, at least 2 times a month and have always had the best food and service. I would recommend anyone seeking authentic Italian food please try Da Sesto Italiano. You won't be disappointed. More...

We were a Party of 11 on a Friday night. Though I can secured a reservation, it felt like they weren't entirely prepared for us. We waited 2h15m for our entrees. The food was fantastic once it arrived though! A few of us plan to try this spot again with a smaller party and see if the service is swifter.. More...

I am not sure how this place has so many great reviews. Our fried calamari app was so salty and not hot when it arrived. Our salads tasted like that had been sitting inside of a refrigerator for days. 2 of the 4 of us ordered pizza. The pizza was not cooked all the way through and there was WAY too much gorgonzola cheese. It totally overpowered the raw pizza. The Chicken Parm and pasta dish we also ordered were average at best. Big disappointment after reading such great reviews. More...

We've been to Da Sesto many times but last night was outstanding! We brought some long-time Italian friends and they loved the menu variety . It was perfect in every way. We tried many different appetizers, entrees and desserts - each was superb. Jennifer made sure we had the table we requested and was so helpful. We couldn't have asked for a better waiter than Steve, knowledgeable, personable and attentive. Thank you all! More...

I am normally not one to write a lengthy review unless totally displeased with the service received. This is not entirely the case here at Da Sesto. On Saturday January 20th I went to Da Sesto for the 1st time to celebrate a friend’s birthday. I was excited to try the restaurant as it has pretty good reviews. Note: we were a party 4. So let me start by saying overall I would give the food selection I choose a solid 3 stars. There may be better tasting food and I can’t speak to the entire menu. Our waiter was attentive, minus the fact we had to keep pouring our own water. I would expect a waiter/waitress to ensure to refill our water. I would rate him a 4. I thought the bread was fresh. I would rate it 4 stars. The Caesar salad was average. I was expecting homemade croutons. It came with small store-bought croutons. I would rate the salad 3 stars. For entrée, I ordered the Linguine Pollo Aglio E Broccoli. It lacked flavor and was average in taste. I would rate these 3 stars. Now here is where the evening went downhill. My one friend bought a small mini butter cream cake from Publix (we were a party of 4). She also brought her own napkins, plates, and utensils with a cutting knife. Immediately, a blonde hair woman with a bob, comes to our table. She does not introduce herself by name and position… Hi I am Melissa, the manager of Da Sesto. She tells us, oh I see you brought a cake. Mind you at this time, I thought they were going to tell us, “Oh, you are celebrating a birthday” let’s ensure we sing Happy Birthday to you or offer you a complimentary dessert”. No, that was not the case. The woman proceeds to tell us that they would have preferred us provide the cake upon entering the facility and that there is also a $25 cake cutting fee. She then tells us; we will have to figure something out on how to proceed with this matter. But she never came back to the table. We asked our waiter where the $25 cake cutting fee was posted but no one could provide us with that information. We basically were told it could be a public health violation keeping a cake unrefrigerated and then the restaurant is to blame. And logically, I get that. However, let’s say I did purchase a cake and provide it immediately upon entering a restaurant. The restaurant would have no idea how long that cake has been sitting out. Also, buttercream cake can stay unrefrigerated for up to three days. If I were a manager of a restaurant with high reviews such as Da Sesto, I would have handled the situation differently. I would have said, I see you brought a birthday cake, just for future notice there is a $25 cake cutting fee and this is also posted on our menu and our website. Just wanted to make you aware for future visits. Thank you for visiting and hope you enjoyed your birthday evening with us. I did call around after this experience to local Italian eateries and I did not encounter such a policy. I also googled, “Cake cutting fee” and see it is a thing and can average $1.50 per person, which seems reasonable if you are using a facilities plates, forks, and knives but this was not applicable in this situation as we brought our own. Of course, there is a clean up portion but that would be accounted for in the tip. Hope the owner can update their policies to their website and menu for future restaurant patrons. It was very disappointing to start the evening in good spirits but to leave unhappy and frustrated with how we were treated on their unwritten policy. More...
