Iavarone's Steakhouse & Italian Grill

Solid Italian inspired steakhouse hidden off the main road of Dale Mabry. The atmosphere inside is like you are in New York City dining at a restaurant. The steaks are well seasoned and cooked to perfection as it melts in your mouth like butter. I recommend sharing the Chateaubriand. It was one of the best cuts of meat I've ever eaten. The fresh spinach was also a delicious side. The house salad is very basic, but it has a nice dressing. The well crafted cocktails are a highlight, and I definitely recommend an old fashioned or espresso martini. Leave room for dessert as you won't be disappointed!

We had a surprise party for some friends here. There were 28 of us total oure server. Robo P never missed a beat,and every meal came out as expected. All of the portions were large and filling. And drinks were never left empty. The only downside was the Monsoon that came on when we were all leaving.

All I can say is Bravo!👏 Bravo!👏 Came here for Valentines day dinner and sure glad we did! The food is out of this world good!! Ordered rack of lamb and wife ordered grouper, which was the catch of the day. The entrees included choice of salad, pasta or vegetables of the day. We picked salads, which were very fresh and delicious only rather basic as it was lettuce, one tomato wedge and olives. I ordered blue cheese dressing with it and was yummy. The bread was plentiful and came with butter and dipping oil with I believe to be olives in it as well. Really good!! The entrees were absolutely to die for!! Rack of lamb was grilled and seasoned to perfection and sooo tender!! Portion was far larger than anticipated. Grouper was absolutely MASSIVE and looked incredible. We both added a baked potato LOADED! They didn't disappoint as the waiter brought me an additional plate of toppings for extra loaded 😋!! It was 6 dollars to add potato, but worth every penny! The waiter Christian was one of the, if not THE BEST server we've ever had. He did not miss a beat, knew everything about the menu, and made great recommendations for the food and drinks. Place is very nice inside and plenty of parking!

We went to celebrate my wife's birthday. We had a reservation, but our only options were the lounge or a half-booth in the corner. The lounge is WAY to loud, and last night was no exception, so we got the half booth in the corner. My wife liked her filet, so that was good. I ordered the king cut prime rib, rare. My rare was more like medium rare, and the toughest prime rib I can remember ever getting anywhere. The garlic taste was overwhelming. I chose not to complain, because I didn't want to ruin the birthday celebration. I guess we need to find a new place for birthday and anniversaries, because the place is not the place I remember from all my previous visits.

Booked reservations two weeks in advance to celebrate Valentine’s Day. When we arrived on time, we were told there were no tables available in the dining area and we can be seated at the bar area. When we challenged the hostess and asked to speak to a manager, miraculously, they found an open table for us in the dining area in less than 5 minutes. Manager, Morgan, did not apologize and did not think it was odd that they did not have a table for our reservation. Also, I would add the food was mediocre at best. We will not be going back and there are too many other better choices in Tampa.

Went here for our one-year wedding anniversary and to celebrate us having a child the staff could not have been more accommodating two our requests + added to our experience by putting us up on the rooftop alone and really creating an awesome atmosphere with low lighting and extreme privacy while still coming around often and making sure everything was perfect, which it was. The lamb was some of the best I have had in forever and my wife's steak couldn't have been cooked any better. The servers really knew the product and what they were selling and it was just a really great place to be. Definitely a slept on place, And somewhere that we will be returning to often, also on a note compared to other places of this quality. The prices are amazing. I believe the lamb was something about $50 And came with fettuccine alfredo a salad bread

We enjoyed a delicious dinner here with a group of 6 for a birthday. We had a special bottle of wine that we brought from home, $25 corking fee. We shared a handful of appetizers including calamari and shrimp picatta, all really yummy! A good variety of dinners for everyone, steaks, pasta and lasagna. The sharing château briand was so tender it fell apart and the pasta was perfection! Fun atmosphere and our server was great, attentive and nice. Wonderful birthday celebration! 🎉🎂😍
