Frammi is such a quaint little Italian restaurant that we tried a few years ago when we visited Tampa. It made such a good impression that we had to eat there again on our visit yesterday. The food is great, and freshly made right in their open kitchen with quality ingredients. Luca, the owner is very nice and so is the staff. We felt right at home yesterday that we decided to go again for lunch today. We had delicious, juicy, and flavorful burgers, preceded by a tasty bruschetta also freshly made by Luca. Our waitress Vivian was so lovely and very attentive. Highly recommend this place.

Fammi is an incredible local Italian restaurant, and Lucca, the owner truly makes you feel at home. The food is honestly the best I’ve ever had here in Tampa. The service is amazing, and I want to recommend this place to everyone. I had the Pasta Amatriciana and my husband had the Carbonara; both were fresh, flavorful, and absolutely outstanding. We went for lunch today, and I’m already planning to go back tomorrow!

We have been hearing about this eatery named Frammi for a while and even being promoted in the local neighborhood magazine, but we were really disappointed.
Its overhyped and lot of false marketing promotion that’s not worth a second visit.
Its overpriced and portions are small even for the Minestroni soup compared to what is being charged.
Even the high-end restaurants serve better food in taste and portions.
The Minestrone soup was a disaster. Even Olive Garden makes Minestrone soup better than this place. Hardly any vegetables and mushy and tasteless.
The Penne Pasta with Chicken costs around $30 and the grilled chicken was over grilled and very dry.
The Pesto sauce was best of that dish and even the pasta were not cooked properly.

Authentic Italian food made by the owner. The lasagna, pasta Vongole and tiramisu are a Must. The place is small so better to reserved if you don’t want to wait a lot since everything is made from scratch.

Came during a mid-afternoon lull so had no difficulty getting a table. Staff was friendly and responsive. Atmosphere is pleasant and clean but not “fancy”.
If you just completed a bike ride at Flatwoods Park and need a carb-heavy meal, fresh Italian is the best. I will certainly be back!

FRAMMI is a small, family run Italian restaurant in New Tampa and an absolute gem! Everything is made from scratch with ingredients imported straight from Italy. The pasta with red sauce is my favorite, but the salads and fresh made sandwiches are just amazing! Luca and his family are all wonderful, the hand painted tables and murals throughout the restaurant were all hand painted by his lovely wife Erika and make the atmosphere special ! The food is always worth the wait – I highly recommend it !

Short Version: Frammi is a hidden gem in New Tampa! The chef (originally from Italy) cooks everything from scratch right in front of you in the open kitchen, and even comes by the tables to greet guests. The restaurant is spotless, the staff is very friendly, and the food is absolutely delicious—fresh, authentic, and full of flavor. Highly recommend!
Long Version: If you’re looking for an authentic Italian dining experience in Tampa, Frammi is an absolute gem. From the moment you walk in, you notice how clean and welcoming the restaurant feels. The staff is warm, attentive, and genuinely friendly, making you feel right at home.
What truly sets Frammi apart is the open-kitchen concept. The chef and owner—originally from Italy—cooks everything from scratch just a few feet away. Most tables have a clear view of him preparing each dish with care, and it’s an experience in itself to watch.
Between orders, the chef takes time to walk around and check on his guests. That personal touch is rare and shows how much pride he has in his food and in his customers’ experience.
And the food? Absolutely outstanding. Every plate is fresh, flavorful, and bursting with authentic Italian taste. You can tell the ingredients are high quality and that each dish is crafted with passion. It’s some of the tastiest food you’ll find in New Tampa.
Frammi isn’t just a restaurant—it’s an experience. You come for the excellent food, but you leave remembering the warm hospitality, spotless setting, and the joy of watching a true chef at work. Highly recommend!

If you are looking for authentic Italian cuisine then look no further! The aromas, the presentation, and most importantly the taste is EXACTLY like my wife and I remembered from our many trips to Southern Italy. Stepping into FRAMMI was like walking into one of the small towns we visited where passion and the love of food is served in large portions! Congratulations and thank you to Erika and Luca for bringing a little Italy to Tampa. Can’t say enough about the food and atmosphere.. I highly recommend that you add them to your list. Absolutely amazing!

The owner and Chef is very welcoming and desires to make sure you are completely satisfied with the service and food and will make every effort to be sure you have everything you need including a delicious homemade meal. He took time to explain dishes and what makes them authentic. We totally enjoyed the experience and our server Halley was sweet and gave us excellent service. Would like to try the resturant again after they move to their new location a few miles away. Recommend trying and be sure you talk with Luca !!

We have taken quite a few friends to dinner at Frammi’s and have also referred many. The food is always excellent, the service is stellar and Luca always makes everyone feel welcome. So it was an easy decision when it came time to plan a surprise dinner party for my husband’s 65th birthday. It was awesome! The food, Luca’s entire team and the attention to each of us was phenomenal. If you have not visited Frammi’s, you are missing out! Book today. Order anything. It will be excellent.
