Spanish and Cuban fare. Jacket not required, but don't wear your jeans. Food is consistently excellent. Great ambiance. Fairly priced. Separate dining room with entertainment: Flamenco dancing. Show has been mediocre in recent past, but new artistic director promises great improvement. Maria Sevilla is Tampa's premier dancer and choreographer.

This deli/bakery is great. they have sandwiches, pastroes, desserts and a wide selection of foods at great prices. The staff is so friendly and will help with special orders, from one sandwich to a huge party tray. The prices are good and it is a nice little relaxing deli. the italian cookies are delicious and my main recommendation!

I found this bakery a few years ago when looking for italian cookies. I was pleasantly surprised to find a wide variety of luscious cakes and pastries there. Their guava pastries are the best I have had! The staff is very friendly and the manager is very pleasant as well. They serve hot food to go which is made fresh and very delicious. It is a bit pricey but it is definitely worth it!

The Olde World Cheese Shop is a favorite restaurant for my friends and I. There are a wide variety of sandwiches and pitas, all of unusual size. These are not subs, but are traditional sandwiches made on a variety of fresh bread of your choice. As the name implies, there are also many varieties of cheese. Everything is made with the freshest ingredients. Also sold are a selection of wines, condiments and side items, all of which I would consider gourmet.
As this is a favorite regular stop for us, for one party I ordered from their catering menu. My friends were so excited to see the food from here. There are cheese spreads that are made fresh, and taste testing is encouraged. Sample tubs are put out for customers to try the varieties. The sandwich and cheese trays were both emptied very quickly. They also make boxed lunches.
This is very much a "mom and pop" store, and the service is incredible! When filling a large order for work, each sandwich had the person's name carefully written. When I am not sure what to get, I tell them what choices I am considering, and they have many suggestions, sometimes even making a new sandwich not listed on the menu.
If you are still reading and not sold, then I say if you have $11,000 try the whale (no one ever has).

We don't use anyone other than Carrollwood Deli for our catering needs. They have done everything for us from business meetings, a wedding shower and a memorial service. We are so glad we have a local small business who appreicates it customers as they do. Everthing has always been on time, fresh and everything they promised. The customer service provided it beyound compare. Thank you Carrollwood Deli!
They also offer a small dinning room that is always busy and a fun experience! Get there early for a seat.

A Play Patch offers several great birthday party packages which include theme products, cake, refreshments (juice boxes for the kids) and activities. The best part is having everything taken care of from set-up to clean-up! They also supply Pizza's if you want or you can bring your own food and refreshments. Private party's are weekends only and must be booked well in advance. We found A Play Patch for open play during the week. It's only $7.00 per family!

Over the past 18 years my husband and I have enjoyed a day at the races.
Tampa Bay Downs is just north of Tampa and we go south to Oldsmar and then east onto Race Track Road.
This business is only open in the winter months as it is way too hot in the Florida summer.
We have been lucky enough to get in free on several occasions.
The last few years the development, where we live, have got up day trips. For around $17 we get a seat in the box and a luncheon.
It is easy to put bets on. Even better when you win.
There is plenty of parking.
A fun day out for the family. So if you are in the area give it a try.

Jimbo's is a real, down home BBQ joint! The ambiance at Jimbo's goes far beyond expectations with Picnic tables as the main seating! The give out free pickles, which are so yummy and the kids love getting their baskets of pickles! The BBQ itself is never disappointing! Always slow cooked to perfection! By the looks of Jimbo's on the outside, you would never guess what a great place this is to eat! Skip the BBQ chains with their dry meats and pre-made sauces! Head over to Jimbo's and you WON'T be disappointed!
I do have to say that I had my engagement part there a couple of months ago, and the server was a little short with us. That made me unhappy, but that is the only time I have had anything bad to say! The prices are great and you can relax there!

This is the caterer I chose for my wedding in April 2004, and my family is still commenting on how great it was. The food was excellent and very inexpensive. A buffet menu of meat, pasta, two vegetables, salad, and two appetizers, including a nice plastic ware service was $11 per person. I'm not sure if his rates have since changed. The food was excellent. Luigi was very nice and helpful through the whole process, even helping with the wedding favors! Added touches that make for superior service include: the staff will serve drinks that you bring if you choose for them to do so as long as there is no hard alcohol, a member of his staff brings hors d'oeuvre to the bride, groom and family while they are having the professional pictures taken, very flexible availability for pre-event meetings. Very highly recommended.
