Cala Italian Kitchen, St. Petersburg FL

St Pete Gem. Excellent food and service. Beautiful pasta and deserts in a great atmosphere. We will be regulars!

The food is great and the outside location will be a great place to relax. Must try the vodka sauce and the pistachio cream pasta.

Amazing, amazing food. And that’s coming from an Italian with Sicilian heritage. Get the pistachio cream rigatoni. You won’t regret it.

What a wonderful find! The food is amazing. This is truly a new gem of St. Pete.
The food is at a whole new level of what you’d expect.

Excellent food, great drinks, fantastic service in a spacious, casual, dog friendly space! St. Pete needed a place like this that has All of the above. There’s something for everyone on the menu-the food is Authentic Italian, flavorful, and homemade. The space is versatile as well. This is an entirely outdoor venue with tables for small and larger groups, and bar height tables. My favorite are the modified shipping containers with couches and tables with a cozy lounge feel to them. You can dress up and go for a quiet date night curled up on a couch, or gather with a group of friends, chat and enjoy live music. Did I mention dog friendly? Another St. Pete requirement:) My friends and I are already making plans to go back! Ask for Flavio-he’ll Make sure your experience is excellent!

It was my first time at this restaurant! Absolutely INCREDIBLE food. Italy is like my “secondo paese” (MY SECOND COUNTRY)! I was pleasantly surprised at the Quality, the Service and how Professional and quickly the Food was brought to the table.

GO, GO, GO…I promise you will NOT be disappointed.

I travel every year to Italy and it’s so hard (if at all) to find good, quality Italian food here! I literally, just found my second location.

Bravo FLAVIO & FRANCESCO

Got the pasta paccheri with added chicken. Sooo good! The pasta is freshly made in house. The burrata really made the whole dish.

The cocktails are fantastic too. The gin & lavender drink was a huge hit.

The owner & chef were on site, super friendly and accommodating to my nut allergy.

To top it off, this is an excellent atmosphere. Can’t wait for live music to start here.

Great outdoor location for a casual night with family and friends! Food is very good! We Are Italians and Flavio with his team makes an incredible job! Flavio is always there.so you can talk to him if you want.he is such a genuine person.that you will love him right away! Thank you! Great job! Look at your reviews! We are locals and we are for sure will be back!

Lovely atmosphere in the distillery open air garden. Food was perfect Italian fare. We had eggplant stack, a seafood pasta, a focaccia, and dessert!

Sat down here on a whim while staying over at the distillery with Harvest Hosts. There are a lot of places that claim authentic Italian pizza and pasta, and this one truly delivers. Perfect crust, perfect al dente on the pasta, fradiavolo flavor was impeccable, and seafood was fresh. Simply a great experience.

Love the setting in the courtyard of St Petersburg Distillery. Wonderful warm service and menu suggestions. We had the wings, garlic bread, meatballs and burrata salad for appetizers all fresh and delicious. My entree, Cioppino, was delicious, perfect aromatic broth. My companions enjoyed their meals as well and we will be back soon.

Place is amazing, great vibes and uniquely amazing food. Had the wings for starter, then the Diablo clam spaghetti and finished off with some Zeppole with Nutella. This is a must visit.

True authentic food. This place is absolutely amazing. You will never order anything that isn’t delicious and Fresh!
So glad I found this place.
Please try this spot and u won’t regret

The food was delicious. Having lived for 2 years in Palermo/Sicily I was surprised to find this hidden gem of Italian food in St'Pete. Yes, true authentic Italian food and not the watered down American version. The ordering was easy and service was excellent. Best Pizza (picante) I have had in the Tampa Bay area and the seafood outstanding. The Zeppole with Nutella are killer.

Excellent Authentic Italian food. Real brick oven pizza with the aroma of burning wood permeating the outdoor seating area. And, the Burrata Mozzarella was the freshest I’ve ever had. Ask for Flabo!

Had a great quick bite at the outdoor kitchen Cala. House made pasta did not disappoint and looking forward to lounging with the pup and a lap blanket on a cool evening soon to sample the brick oven focaccia. This is a cool vibe not to be missed.
