We have eaten here many times and the food and service are always excellent. It is located in an historic building in Ybor City. They also have a 3rd floor where we have hosted and attended private events.

I love Bernini. The food is delicious, the service is excellent. The servers are friendly and professional. Ybor is a cool place to go and Bernini has a great Ybor vibe. Sitting outside on a nice evening is an enjoyable experience. Happy hour is a good deal - try the $3 martinis!

These folks have it figured out. It is a well-oiled machine. I love Bernini and have been many times. Here's what I like- they get you seated quickly. They take orders quickly. The food comes out quickly. My pasta dish literally had steam coming off it. They have an amazing happy hour from 3-7 every single day and the savings are for both food and drinks. Who doesn't love $3 martinis and fancy homemade pasta for $17? It is also cool inside because it is Ybor so it's old and unique. This location actually has 3 stories. The 3rd floor is for private parties but regular diners can sit on the 2nd floor. We loved the bread and whatever garlickly spread they provide. My mom couldn't stop eating it.

Visited here on a Sunday around 6, we were pleasantly surprised by their special: half off pasta dishes and $3 martinis. The service was good, our server was attentive. The ambiance was nice, the restaurant use to be a bank. The food was good, could have used a little more flavor but it was good. When we asked for cheese, I was expecting freshly grated cheese from a restaurant like this, I was disappointed that it was the cold shake from a jar cheese. I would visit again the next time I'm I'm Ybor, especially if they still have that special.

"Recommended to us" The atmosphere was beautifully inviting. The choice of colors were warm. Long and very tall walls accentuated with these long oversized windows all made your eyes wonder around the room. Decor wonderful. The service was top notch, shout out to BOB!! Greeted us, sat us, was very knowledgeable about the food options, very accommodating, kind, professional and took very good care of us during our dinner. The food arrived reasonably quickly, was hot, seasoned to perfection and so tasty! I ventured with the Diablo shrimp & crab sauce over spaghetti, hubby went with the sausage, peppers & onions over his choice of Penne. We very much enjoyed our experience here, food well done. Kiss to the chef highly recommended for a tastebud adventure

I took my GF out for dinner before attending the Ballet. It was both our first times, and while it was beautiful, the din inside was so loud. It was hard ro have a conversation with my companion. The food was ok, the Chicken Parmesan was dry, and hard to chew. My friend loved her duck, except the broccoli was pretty raw. Overall an Ok experience.

Bernini of Ybor is truly one of the best hidden gems in Ybor City. While most people head to the area for Cuban food or the lively club scene, this stunning Italian restaurant is an absolute must-visit. The location itself is beautiful, full of charm and character that reflects its long-standing history in the area. It's the perfect spot for a special meal, with a classic yet vibrant atmosphere that sets it apart from the usual Ybor hotspots. Their happy hour is one of the best around, offering unbeatable deals on both food and drinks. But even outside of happy hour, the full-priced meals are well worth it, given the quality and flavor of everything they serve. Personally, my go-to entree is the Crispy Duck with an incredible cherry sauce that perfectly balances sweet and savory. For appetizers, I can never resist their calamari, which is always cooked to perfection. The drinks are just as impressive, with generous pours and a great cocktail selection that never disappoints. Whether you're looking for a pre-dinner drink or something to pair with your meal, they've got you covered. Bernini is a spot that shouldn't be missed when visiting Ybor, offering an unforgettable dining experience with amazing service that stands out among the rest.

Sure! Here's a revised version: --- Bernini's has the best happy hour in the city! It runs every day from 3-7, offering $3 martinis with Skyy Vodka and 50% off entrees. Imagine enjoying incredible food on a popular strip at such a great deal! The inside is cozy, but they do a wonderful job making everyone feel comfortable and spacious. My favorite dish: Shrimp Orecchiette and Salmon (pictured) I have nothing but gratitude for the wait staff and hosting team--they're always happy and go above and beyond! It's recommended to make reservations or try your luck at the bar. There are also a few outdoor tables where cigar smoking is allowed. Parking is limited to street parking, nearby lots, and a few garages.

I used to go to Bernini every Sunday 10 years ago because I was obsessed with the veal lasagna. Stopped in yesterday to see if it was still as amazing a decade later... it is! The sauce is to die for. I'd eat it on anything. Also, those Ybor Oysters... *chef kiss* it's been so hard to find great oysters lately and those were so good, I had to order another round after the first and then I convinced the guy at the bar to order some too! I know this seems fat, but I also ordered the duck entree. I'm not a sweet and savory person so I was unsure about the cherry demi-glaze and the chef came over and offered me a sample of a lemony caper sauce she thought would be a great accompaniment and she was right! It was so good, I poured some on the oysters too and asked for some to take home. I came in during happy hour when all the entrees were half off and the martinis were $3 each and I had 4 martinis... so maybe it was the alcohol tasting my food for me, but I wouldn't have it any other way!
