Hands down, Sweet Tomatoes is the best "all U can eat" restaurant in the world!!! Everything is made fresh EVERY day! Their mouth-watering home-made soups include clam chowder, chili, chicken noodle soup, some vegetarian soups, and even several others. They have every imaginable item U could poss...
The food and service is excellant! Very clean and friendly. And best of all the food is excellant and very inexpensive. A-plus for Benjarong Thai!!!
This is definately a better alternative to Kobe's or to Arigato's. This is a hidden jewel.
This is our family's favorite restaurant - and I mean two generations of family. It is the one we recommend to everyone and to which we take all of our guests. The Iavarone family, Carmine, Sr., Rico and Carmine. Jr., make you feel very special and one of the walks every customer, old and new, to t...
After hearing people rave for many years about this restaurant, I could not wait to try it. Unfortunately it did not live up to expectations, starting with the "House of Ill Repute" decor, moving to the underwhelming staff and finishing with overpriced, mediocre food. We sporadically go to the Tam...
Great Meal and Service each time I dine. Excellent Value for what you get.
The steaks are awesome! A great place to eat,and you never know who you might meet(the Boss). I will be back at least once a month.
Great atmosphere, excellent food and superb service
MALIOS is a fine returaunt with class and style.
Love the ambience, the food is awesome and the service as good as the food! Malio's is really one of the finer places in Tampa!!!
I recently entertained a customer at Charleys Steakhouse at 6107 S. Orange Blossom Trail. There were 8 of us for dinner. After having to wait an hour past the time of our reservation because they seriously overbooked, we were subjected to the most incompetent wine service I have ever experienced. ...
steaks overcooked
This restaurant is absolutely wonderful. The food is awesome. The servers are very attentive but not intrusive. We had the gator appetizer, filets, and a couple of desserts. The filets came exactly cooked to our liking. Everything was extremely good. I'll come here everytime I am in Tampa.
This is probably the best steak house I have been to. The steak was tender and flavorful, the scallops were tender, the shrimp was perfect. The decadent chocolate cake w/ Hagaan Daaz Vanilla Ice Cream was the perfect ending.
We are from Nashville Tn and love the sweet tomato for their refreshing healthy menu. The restaurant is so clean and the kids love it too. With two kids who are picky eaters this is a big PLUS. Please consider opening one in Nashville!!!!

everything was great but judy has to go
I would suggest not dining here, or ordering for delivery unless you like rude, verbally abusive managers, and hair in your food. I recently ordered food for delivery and within four bites of my salad had already discovered two long hairs that were not mine. The manager not only refused to give me...
we come to tampa every year and just love your restaurant. do you have any more around flordia? and where are they? thank you
This is a great place for a "date". A nice atmosphere and variety of food makes it one of our favorites. My husband and I had our first date at Iavarones...I always recommend it to friends who are looking for something different.
Service has been good with free server entertainment. 4 out of the last 5 meals have been excelent, the 1 bad meal was cheerfully refunded with offer made of FREE replacement meal. Definitely a place of choice for me and my companions.
