BUONA RISTORANTE – Italian
A neighbourhood Italian kitchen on Gulf Boulevard, a short walk from the sand at St Pete Beach, turning out homemade pasta and pizza from late morning until late evening. The card runs from Margherita pizza and cacio e pepe, linguine tossed with pancetta and a Pecorino Romano butter cream, to wild mushroom ravioli and linguine pescatora heaped with jumbo shrimp, mussels, clams and calamari. Rosemary osso buco arrives as a pork shank under demi-glace. Tiramisu is made in house. They cater within five miles, which tells you how much of the beach already knows them. Straightforward Italian cooking, done properly.
