FORTUNATO'S ITALIAN RESTAURANT – Italian
In South Pasadena, Fortunato's Italian Restaurant has spent more than four decades perfecting Neapolitan-style pizza, with dough tended daily and ingredients sourced from vendors the family says are hard to find elsewhere in the St. Petersburg area. The casual dining room serves classic pies alongside steak subs and salads, with a wine and music program built to set a relaxed mood. Diners consistently describe the staff as feeling like family and the pizza as a standout, often citing the sausage, pepperoni, and margherita pies and the garlic rolls as reasons to return. A long-running corner of Italy in the South Pasadena community.
