Gusto D’ Amore

So good! This is my favorite pizza. I also had the chicken Parmesan once and the filet, which was delicious! My bf and I ordered the twin filet and split it, which turned out to be a good deal. The pizza though!!!

My wife and I went here for dinner and had an awful experience. We waited over an hour for our entrees and when they finally came out they were cold. After trying to send them back we were told they were made fresh and it turned into an unnecessary situation. We were confronted by a short Italian man who must have been the owner, he was very angry and disrespectful towards both of us because we tried to send the food back, it was embarrassing. Besides the poor management, it is a very crowded place and it has absolutely no Italian atmosphere. If your in Tarpon Springs stick to the Greek food, this so called restaurant is not worth your time or money.

Tried some of the non traditional dishes and they were good. Seems you get a good value here because the dishes aren’t over priced.

Is there a negative star? Luckily the server was nice because the food was horrible! I am not even picky but the chicken looked like it had a bad cold before they cooked it. The sauce looked like urine and tasted like frozen butter.
Cheese sticks were at least cheesy that’s good!
Oh and don’t drink the water, it tastes funky

Great hospitality and I had the Alfredo with chicken its for two lol wing are great to and my lady had the calzone fried they AAAsst it all the way around owe yea the beer cold and had a Long Island nice

Awesome service, delicious food, clean and tasteful! Must try the stuffed shrimp. It had a wonderful kick. I will definitely return!

The husbeast and I wanted to try someplace new for dinner, so we went to what used to be «Pauls» and now it’s Gusto D’ Amore, a pizza joint with a bar and other food. Stepping in, we thought maybe it was karaōke night, because we heard someone singing pretty flatly. But no, this was the evening’s entertainment. There was an Honest to God Lounge singer, complete with smarmy leisure suit and keyboard. He was singing all our «favorites» from the 60’s and 70’s but not doing them justice. he wasn’t on key, pathetically flat and lacked enthusiasm. I can’t blame him for the latter, as no one seemed to care he was there.
The interior of the place was inviting, the food smelled good, so we looked over the menu and placed an order for a starter of Garlic Cheese bread and marinara sauce. Our main would be a large «Special» Pie (Peperoni, Sausage, Onions, Mushrooms and green peppers — anchovies by request)
The bread was tasty, but odd, because it appeared there was Mozz & American cheese? There was some garlic, but not a lot of it to flavor the bread, but it was crispy where it counted and the Marinara sauce was tasty.
The pizza was a different story though. The toppings were tasty and fresh. The peperoni was sparse as was the sausage and mushroom but the onions and green peppers were plentiful. And the crust was. well it was not the worst I’ve ever had, but it was like cardboard. It was thick and had a flavor almost like a saltine without the light/​flakiness.
The service was OK. Our waiter, Hunter was brand new and though he felt like he was stumbling over everything, he really wasn’t. He was polite and helpful and very sweet. We’ll come back, to try something OTHER than the pizza, and pray the entertainment ISN’T the same lounge singer.

Better this visit. Server was really friendly but service was very slow. Food is nothing special.
Love the cowboy single-​man-​cover band and the Villages party scene ;)

Visiting florida for the week. We wanted to come over to tarpon springs and visit the shops. We are not much for Greek food, except for the baklava! So we spotted this Italian restaurant right by the entrance to the sponge docks and thought we would give it a try. There weren’t many people there but it was a Thursday and just getting to be lunchtime. A couple older gentlemen were leaving so we asked about the food. They said very good food. So we went in. They had sever alp lunch specials bit we opted for the pizza which the waitress suggested. It was excellent. I would definitely go again!

Italian restaurant my ass. Ordered the Chicken Parm. It tastes like a frozen Banquet dinner. I seriously got maybe 4 bites of pasta with my meal. My house salad had absolutely no lettuce as well.
Not to mention the prices for this place is absolutely absurd for the quality and amount of food you get.
I have never in my life seen an Italian restaurant blast country music and have people singing country and line dancing around. If your under the age of 60 this isn’t a place for you. If your older 60 perfect.
Maybe they should take down the old seafood décor that’s around the restaurant since they don’t have any. What a joke of a place.
The motto of this place is «what we serve you is what you get,» if you don’t like it so be it, as explained from another reviewer
Owner should be ashamed of himself!!!
And he can suck on my ballzzzzzzzz :)

The party salad is good.
The cheese pizza was not. Greasy and cold in the center.
Service was slow.
The band playing covers was way too loud for the room, made conversation impossible.

Had take out pizza which was pretty good so wanted to try it. Live music so loud could not even walk in the door. Seated at nice outside table, and server came over relatively promptly. Ordered wine and appetizer and after 20 minutes wine arrived. Calamari was pretty good, highlight of meal. Waited one hour for entrees– Lasagna was inedible– mass of melted cheese with covered with sauce with no pasta– Chicken Parm was not bad frozen breaded patty with bland sauce and over cooked pasta. Sent Lasagna back and when it was not taken off bill asked to see manager. First was told to go inside to see owner– COME ON– and when asked for him to come out a grumpy old Italian man started arguing with us how good the Lasagna was–
Think the writer of the other review has not been to a good Italian restaurant– Will stick to Pensare, Massimos and casa Ludvico– will not return to this place where owner argues with customers– fugetabout it

My son and I went there for lunch to test the waters since the place is so new. I don’t eat red meat, pork, chicken or dairy so I never thought I’d find anything but a house salad in an Italian restaurant since they use so much meat and cheese in their cooking. I was pleasantly surprised! I had The Trio and it was amazing. Bowtie pasta with sun dried tomatoes, artichoke hearts and a garlic sauce. Amazing!!! The couple next to us got the Antipasto salad and a personal pizza. It looked like enough food for 4 people, not two. Beautifully done. The next night my husband and I went there for a date night. Friday night, the place was packed but no waiting. It’s huge inside. And the service was still excellent and fast. One of the specials was another meal I could eat with grouper and shrimp. The Venice Margarita was to die for. We cashed out after we ate and I took my 2^nd margarita into the game room where there were a few tables and two really nice pool tables. There’s also electric scoring darts and video games. It’s conveniently adjacent to the bar. There was live music and a dance floor too. People were dancing and the atmosphere was just fun. We are going back for lunch today, the three of us, and to play some pool. I definitely recommend this place.
