Very nice place. When we first arrived it was pretty shortly after they opened and they only had one server waiting on the 4 tables. Despite being by herself she was very attentive and did her best. We ordered the stuffed mushrooms and antipasto. Both were excellent and tried the shrimp and asparagus pizza which was also very good and an unexpected flavor type!

We had a great experience overall at this Italian spot. The menu offers some unique and interesting twists on classic dishes, which was refreshing. The pizza was definitely a standout—crispy, flavorful, and clearly made with care.

That said, the seafood and steak dishes didn’t quite live up to the price point. They were good, but not particularly memorable for what they cost.

Service was excellent—Chris took great care of us and made the evening even more enjoyable. Friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable.

Would definitely return, especially for the pizza and the atmosphere, but would be a bit more selective next time with the pricey entrees.

We had such a great experience at TJ’s! Shelby was our server and she was incredibly professional and welcoming from the moment we sat down. She made us feel so comfortable and really added to the whole dining experience. We ordered the pork osso buco, Italian wedding soup, and the antipasto — everything was absolutely delicious. You can tell a lot of care goes into the food and the service. Shelby was attentive, friendly, and made the night even better. We’ll definitely be coming back!

My first time dining at TJ’s last night and it was such a great experience! Shelby was our server and truly made the night wonderful. Her recommendations were spot on — the chicken limon and the filet were honestly some of the best we’ve had around here. Everything was delicious and the service was amazing. We will definitely be back. Thank you, Shelby!

My wife stopped here for dinner while visiting Indian Rocks. We were greeted and seated on the porch. My first observation was that the menus had not been wiped down. They had visible stains on them and honestly were unclean. My second observation was that the bathrooms were not tidy. Visible urine on the floor and just unkept as a whole.

After being seated and approached by our waiter, it took 10 minutes to bring our Cokes. The pizza came pretty fast and honestly was good.

The biggest disappointment was that a coke was $6.24. A COKE. 2 sodas cost the price of our pizza. We weren’t even offered a refill. Mayra was our waitress. At no establishment should a soft beverage cost nearly $7. That alone will be the reason we don’t return.

This place was awesome! After a terrible experience at a nearby restaurant we found TJ’s and they were able to sneak our group of twelve in with no notice. (It is February, but still, that’s pretty amazing on a Friday night.) We had a fantastic waitress, Kelly, who was such a pleasure and really took great care of our group.

But, that’s not even the best part. The FOOD was amazing. As we walked in, a group of locals were walking out and told us that this was “the best place in town by far” …and we found out why! Many in our group got the Lemon Chicken which was delicious – nestled in a bed of pasta with amazing flavors. Another big favorite was the Pork Osso Busco which was moist and tender and flavorful. The drinks were great and the atmosphere was nice too! Pricing was definitely reasonable and especially given the quality!

Overall I would give this place a 12 out of 10 and definitely would love to come back!

The food is mediocre at best, the service was extremely lackluster, and the prices were astronomical. We ordered sodas completely unprepared for the cost (listed nowhere on the menu) to find when we received our check that the sodas alone were over $6 EACH. Worse than Disney- and we weren’t even offered refills. Ridiculous and outrageous.

Amazing, delicious authentic Italian cuisine! Wow we were in Clearwater for 6 days and came back for dinner here a second time. Absolutely delicious! Helpful and friendly staff makes the experience even better. Definitely you need a reservation. There are spots at the bar but only a few. Definitely worth coming here, you will not be disappointed. Good selection of cocktails some beers and good wines. We enjoyed so many different dishes. The second time here we came as a group of 12 and everyone loved it! From salads, pasta, pizza to steak and surf and turf it was all amazing! We will definitely be back next time we’re in the area. We highly recommend it!

What a Disaster

Hands down the worst to-go experience I’ve had. I ordered fried ravioli—they somehow heard FIVE orders. Then I asked for blackened grouper (which is literally on the menu), but because it sits under the sandwich section, I got talked to like I should know their menu better than the people who work there. Instead of giving me what I ordered, they picked my dinner for me and handed me grouper volcuta with fruit. Whatever—I took it because they threw in a free dessert.

Then my husband opens his chicken parm… and it’s veal. I call back, and the girl on the phone, Hope, basically calls me a liar. She makes me drive all the way back to “prove it,” and when I get there and show her, she still says, “Our kitchen never messes up.”

Oh really?
So much for “the customer is always right.”

Never. Again.

Management does seem to care if you have booked a reservation in advance for a large group of 22 ladies for lunch.
There was only one server to answer the phone, wait on us, and take care of the other 12 or so patrons. Jennifer our server was professional, remained calm, and was courteous.
We arrived around noon, it was around 2 pm we were served our food, and it was after 3 pm we received our bill. We didn’t get out of there until 3:30pm.This is the second time this has happened to us when dining here.
The food was great, but definitely not worth the wait!
We were also surprised that they tack on an additional charge for paying with a credit card.
We won’t be back!!!
