Sooo The Brothers Trattoria was such a cute date night spot! We went during the week for a late dinner, so it was pretty quiet — which was actually really nice. Our waitress was super friendly and helpful with the menu. The decor has a modern, clean, wine-bar vibe that felt cozy and stylish. The food was solid overall, and I definitely want to come back to try their pizza next time!
What we ordered:
Garlic Butter Shrimp: Great starter!
Ravioli: Hmm mmm… yummy!
Lasagna: Seasoning was a bit mild, but still enjoyable.

My favorite, Tampa’s crown jewel of Italian dining: Brother Trattoria. ✨ Alan delivered flawless service, the 8’ Margherita pizza was pure wood‑fired bliss, the Apple Pineapple Mojito tropical perfection, and the Polpette Della Casa (meatballs) ultimate comfort food. Five shining stars and yes, I’ll be back for more!

We recently hosted a birthday party for 30 guests at The Brother, and I cannot say enough about how wonderful the entire experience was. From the moment we began planning, the staff was incredibly accommodating—helping us coordinate the space, timing, and menu so that everything ran smoothly.
On the day of the celebration, the restaurant truly exceeded expectations. They handled our large group with ease and made everyone feel welcome and comfortable. The food was absolutely delicious—every dish was prepared perfectly, served hot, and full of flavor. Guests kept commenting on how much they enjoyed their meals.
What really stood out was the level of service. The staff went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed, from drinks to special requests, all while maintaining a friendly and attentive attitude. They made the birthday feel special, and we never felt rushed or overlooked despite the size of our party.
Overall, we had a fantastic experience at The Brother. It was the perfect venue for our celebration, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a place to host a special event—or simply to enjoy a great meal. We’ll definitely be back!

5 star all around. Happy Hour- Burrata was exceptionally fresh and well dressed. Fettuccine Pesto reminded us of Sicily add a touch of creamy. The bolognese was hearty and saucy which I personally LOVE. We will bring others and come back!

Pretty solid little spot near the down town area. My wife and I decided to try it out when we couldn’t get into Olivia or Rocca on a Saturday. We love mom and pop vibes, so this was a pleasant find. They were fairly busy when we came in, so when we checked in for our reservation and not greeted in roughly 10 minutes by our server, we decided to take a couple empty seats at the bar. There was only one bartender and he was clearly busy on service, but he got around to us in a timely manner and despite being busy had a pretty pleasant attitude. He didn’t really tour guide us through the menu or ask if we’d been here before, just took our order and kept about his business, which worked for us as we hadn’t been out in a bit and wanted the time to chat.
The cocktails were fantastic, I got the Bumpa (their version of an old fashioned) from their menu and she tried the strawberry basil martini, which was perfectly balanced between sweet and refreshing. We switched to a Super Tuscan on their menu for dinner. The food was solid, the meat ball appetizer and sauce was delicious, and the starter Caesar salad was also tasty (their dressing was clearly homemade. Entree’s were decent; my wife got the market priced pasta, which I’ll admit was the best part of the meal, but was disappointed they didn’t have the cheese wheel to prepare it table side, yet they still charged us full price for it. I got the Veal, which was served in a lemon sauce and paid the up charge for the pasta. The pasta is truly sensational, but the Veal left a lot to be desired; smaller pieces which were a bit chewier than normal, and the lemon sauce lacked flavor which I think added to the chewiness. We ended with tiramisu which was definitely home made and hit home.
All in all it was a pretty solid experience and we’d definitely go back!

We were thoroughly impressed tonight. The food was exceptional. The wood-fired pizzas; Prosciutto e melone, and eggplant Melanzane were the highlights.
Our server, Joel, provided outstanding service, enhancing our dining experience with his attentiveness and warmth.
The restaurant’s atmosphere is inviting and clean, making it a perfect spot for both casual meals and special occasions.
Casey, the valet parking was very sweet and attentive!
We had reservations for 8:30pm, and we arrived an hour earlier, They accommodated us with no hesitation!

Jorge with Offline – Joel the server was very professional and attentive, very great service! The bread was amazing! The spread was pretty good I would honestly put less minced garlic and bake whole garlic cloves with Olive Oil to keep the spread from overwhelming the palate with chopped garcil while not totally risking reducing the hint of garlic. The melanzane was very good! 10/10. The Pizza was okay I felt that the dough / crust lacked flavor! Brushing olive oil on the dough and crust will help with flavors, browning and keeping crust from being too soggy! 5/10. The Crème Brûlée was not bad but I felt like it wasn’t fresh, while the custard was great, creamy and cool the topping wasn’t crispy enough as if it’s been sitting for a long time. 7/10 but over all experience was good I recommend this place! And the server Joel 199/10 great service!

The food was excellent.The price point was excellent. I really enjoyed it here.
UPDATE ( August 2025) I enjoyed myself so much at this restaurant earlier this year, that when I was back in town, I visited again. I came for my niece’s birthday. My experience this time was great food, but service was subpar.
Server forgot to bring out plates, napkins, and cutlery, so when we were served our bread, we all had to pass around the single plate to eat over.
Our food is excellent. I asked the server for some chilli flakes, but she forgot to bring them back to me, so I had to get up and go inside to ask her.
This was also the first restaurant I’ve been to in my life that did not do anything for a birthday. It was my niece’s 13th birthday, the reservation asked if it was a special occasion, the server also asked if it was a special occasion when we arrived, and then they didn’t do anything – not even a little happy birthday song or a bowl of ice cream/dessert. I just found it a bit odd to ask if it’s a special occasion and then not show that you even care about it. It makes more sense to not even ask.
Bottom line, I would eat here again, but the service needs touching up on.

Great date night spot. I will start off by saying our host Lindsay provided us with exceptional service and was very knowledgeable on the menu. I had the sausage pepper and onion pizza and my wife had the lasagna both were savory and delicious. There complimentary Bread and dip is amazing. You can tell that care and planning goes into the food, the owner really cares about your dining experience. There were two patrons that were not happy with a dish and he personally came over listened to what they had to say and addressed the issue that type of hospitality speaks for itself. I will be back to try some more dishes on the menu and update my review. As of now all I can say is head down there and give this place a try.
