Quality Foods Market might now sound like one of the best dang Italian restaurants in the region, but this subtly named market and restaurant delivers flavor in spades. There’s a reason it has near perfect 5-star reviews on OpenTable, and earned one of the top Diners Choice slots in the Tampa metro area. You can visit the market and restaurant at 16307 N Florida Avenue.

The market/restaurant offers a unique culinary experience, featuring authentic Italian cuisine, in a relaxed, elevated casual, and intimate atmosphere. Enjoy a seasonally-inspired, from scratch menu, featuring both classic and modern pastas; hand cut steaks from USDA Certified Premium Hereford Heritage 1881 Beef; New Zealand Lamb Chops; USDA Certified Prime Veal; and the freshest seafood available, flown in from around the world throughout the week.
