Editorial Review for Iavarone's – by Alexander Thomas
The Scene
It may be off the beaten path, but it's a favorite of the locals. Iavarone's has been serving steaks and Italian specialties since 1948. Elegantly casual, Iavarone's can accommodate families, couples, or business diners.
The Food
The menu of Northern Italian pastas and grilled specialties is moderately priced, and offers a wide variety of choices. Appetizers feature shrimp piccata, grilled shrimp, and Italian sausage, to name a few. There are a variety of salads; leading the list is the vine-ripe tomato salad, topped with gorgonzola and a basil vinaigrette.
What to Order
The standard steaks (filet, Porterhouse, strip, and prime rib) are offered as well as grilled chicken, pork chops and fresh catch of the day. The sauteed entrees are a nice change of pace, and can be topped with different sauces. Pastas are all simple, but nicely done.

I love this place! The pastas are always right on, and the fish specials are always fresh. A little pricey, but worth it if you're treating yourself or a special someone. The atmosphere is great. Private and dark, perfect for a first date if you're trying to impress.
Pros: Quality food
Cons: Some dishes are overpriced

We have eaten at some of the most highly rated and far more expensive steak houses all over the country, but the steaks we had there on our last visit were spectacular. We come to the Tampa area three or four times a year and always make a visit there a priority, but this time the steaks were so good we went back another night for more.
