BRANZINI MEDITERRANEAN RESTAURANT in St. Pete Beach - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

The food is delicious, and the serving sizes are amazing. We had the lamb chops, pasta marinara, and Greek salad.

We've started going here recently, later in evening for snacks, the food is really good, so tasty and fresh, not expensive and the service is really quick and cheerful. The server Corey is a hoot. The fish soup is really scrumptious, the pizzas are amazing, so far we have loved everything we have tried. Well except for the Brussel sprouts, we didn't realize they were breaded and deep-fried, it kind of defeats the purpose of trying to order something low-cal and healthy. Be prepared to wear as little as possible because it's really hot in there. it's completely open to the outside so even though the air conditioning is on, it's extremely hot and humid. ( If it's hot and humid outside like it has been lately) There is a good variety on the menu, something for everyone! I would definitely recommend eating here, and we will go again.

The food and service here are incredible! We are local and actually surprised it took us so long to try this place out. Very glad we did! The food is more traditional Mediterranean style. Very fresh tasting and simple. We had multiple appetizers and entrées, and everything was delicious. This is not a high-end or fancy, or “vibes” place. If you’re looking for that, this is not it. Very basic but nice. In fact, if I can give some constructive feedback, I say turn down the lights make it a little more cozy and a better atmosphere. It feels a little sterile as is. Maybe that’s a traditional Mediterranean feel? The owner is wonderful and the staff have been excellent as well! We will certainly be back! Thank you!

Just a great meal, probably one of the most fresh seafood dishes around. The ceviche easily one of best I’ve had in Tampa Bay. Given how much average food cost, this is a true value for the quality you get.

The octopus and pan seared whole fish was amazing and Corey the bartender was so nice!!!

Cannot say enough good things about this place. Excellent!

1st time here, but not the last! I loved the branzini fish filet it was Awesome!!! Perfectly pan fried with various garni and a seafood risotto, I added a side of asparagus it was yummy grilled and seasoned .. I Loved all three! They also have a whole fish option as well. The Linguine Bolognese was very good as well. They have a full bar and a good wine selection. Other items looked good but next visit I will have to have the Branzini again. Our waiter Milos was great. We will return.

Owner is sweet, foods amazing, beautiful space next to the beach.

I have been here two different times now. All I can say is that the food is really good and the owner is such a nice person.

Tazo really has something special here. I came with girlfriends for a birthday/fundraiser and was truly blown away by the food and atmosphere. The Lamb lollipops were absolutely divine! We will definitely be back!

Amazing food and atmosphere 😀 you must come out and enjoy!

Is wonderful restaurant with great delicious food, I have some lobster ravioli, my friends haven bolognese pasta and fish with risotto, everything was delicious, we enjoyed and I was surprised because they have risotto because you can’t find in many restaurants, service was great too and very friendly people!

I will come back again to enjoy a great food and atmosphere in this beautiful restaurant everything was delicious

A gentleman at the beach handed us a free drink ticket for Branzini so we went for dinner. It was Sunday night about 6:00 and there were no cars in the lot. We hesitated, but went in. We were the only ones. We were greeted by the very friendly owner (?) who was also our server. The house wines are Croatian and the Cabernet-style red was very nice. My husband said the octopus salad was very good. I had beet salad, which was excellent, but the added chicken was a bit dry. Open air atmosphere is always appealing to those of us from the northern states.

We have a great time enjoying a dinner in Branzini restaurant, I enjoyed a fish, was right like i order, servis is great too

We stopped here by accident as our original restaurant selection was full. Boy are we glad the first option did not work. The restaurant has a Mediterranean beach vibe. It’s open air so keep that in mind if it’s hot. We ordered drinks and appetizers. When the appetizers arrive our conversation soon died off as we enjoyed all the dishes. The stuffed dates were different and delicious. It was party five and one ordered the lamb chops and the rest the branzini dish. Both were excellent. The waiter’s service was outstanding.

Great service and amazing food. We all ordered different dishes, and we had a feeling that we are in Croatia. Cannot wait to go back. Highly recommend this restaurant.

Dishonesty does this place in. With deception comes questions with their overall food preparation and quality. You have been warned. In response, to someone behind me?? Not so, sounds as if you may have betrayed more than just a few of us out here, ‘SHAME ON YOU’ !!! This is land of the free and freedom of speech, you betrayed a past customer and have been called out on it.

Best branzi fish we have ever eaten!

Absolutely delicious food and lots of it! We ordered wings as appetizers and it was one of the best we had but had to stop eating to save space for the main course. If you’re looking for fresh delicious seafood, this is the place!

What a fabulous evening with the best service by Tess and Milos! Octopus Salad and grilled stuffed zuchini with dates were delicious!! Will definitely make this a regular dinner date spot!!

The Greek salad was fresh and delicious. The branzini filet and the seafood risotto were amazing. Limoncello cake was delicious with our Limoncello over ice! Corey was our server and the bartender. It was his third night working there. He was great. Funny, fun, attentive and had us laughing all night. Such a fun time and great food!

Friendly staff and the most delicious sea soup!!!

Very good Mediterranean dishes. We were a party of six and every one of us was very satisfied with our food. Grilled stuffed calamari was done to perfection. Dessert was a delicious plus.

Wonderful food but the waitress was despicable. Treated us like trash the entire night and then demanded a tip.

The whole restaurant is open air, so on hot summer nights, it’s steamy. Waitress was super friendly & attentive. When we went it was very slow & nearly empty. Lobster ravioli was excellent & pizza too. The Greek salad was fresh but overall not out of this world. The salmon I added as protein was not the best.

What a great find! Great appetizer list. First class seafood. Friendly service and decent pricing. We had the Salmon on green mash potatoes. The very generous portion was cooked perfectly. Milosh, our server was efficient but unobtrusive. We will be back to sample more options.

Hotel restaurants could only learn from them. Food was great along with the server Tony. I love the open concept of the place and just wish I remembered to take a picture of the great branzini fish I ate.

My wife and I came to Branzini on our date night. Being locals we wanted to try it out. Let me be fair and say that the Branzini we ordered was good we love Branzini so I am a bit of a tough critic but do appreciate a restaurant that knows how to prepare it. The experience on the other hand was absolutely horrible. The hostess who was also our server made us feel extremely uncomfortable from the start. When ordering she had very little patience, she smiled while snapping at us. I don't even think she realized that she spoke loudly almost yelling at us. I rarely see this lack of patience my wife and I just kept looking at each other in disbelief. I was thinking of leaving before the meal but we were unfortunately hungry. I really disliked paying to be abused by the Waitress/Hostess. I don't like giving bad reviews and as I said the food was good but this experience is something I do not wish on any patron which is why I am spending some time on this. Hopefully management will investigate and correct this issue.

Food is top notch! Amazing food, I got the grilled chicken and it might be the best chicken I've had. My wife got the lobster Ravioli, she was in love with it. Definitely going to be in our rotation for night out food.

Food was very good. AC was not working and waitress was not very courteous.

Stopped in while in town with my daughters. Pepperoni pizza and prosciutto sandwiches were delicious! Didn’t catch waitress name but she was hustling! In charge of taking orders, getting orders to tables and taking care of those at the bar for drinks. Would love to visit again next time in town.

Came here after beach day at don cesar and Milo’s the server was excellent . Got the octopus, branzini filet and shrimp. Had a few different wines and baklava. Everything was so so delicious and fresh

Jojo is the best ever! The place is amazing ! The food is great! Everything here is great !

Food: great Service: Jojo was awesome Rating: 5 stars!!

The menu had great variety, the food was delicious and JoJo, our server, was outstanding. The bruschetta was very tasty. Lobster ravioli, caprese salad, Mediterranean linguini, grilled vegetables all cooked perfectly. Baklava and espresso were the cherry on top. We highly recommend this place. Jojo was super friendly, the food came fast and everything super clean. We will definitely come back!

Excellent for breakfast. Friendly service.

If you are looking for a high end experience with a Mediterranean beach vibe, this is the place to go! We made reservations for 2 a few days in advance of our stay. Our outdoor seating area was well-decorated, with plants hiding the busy street. Unique and fantastic wine, delicious food! Great service. Thank you!

WOW!! AWESOME!!! Out of this world Delish…. Ok…We have now been here a number of times and before I write a review, I only do for places I have been enough times to truly give a good evaluation. The service and food is GREAT. Come to find out the owner was the one waiting on us during an early 5pm dinner on a Sunday. She was so humble she never told us. Come to find out all the recipes are here. FRESH EVERYTHING…. Even the drinks are fresh fruit purée and juices. The food is amazing. Fresh fruits, pastas, ingredients and more. This is one of our new must go to places every week now.

Wonderful atmosphere, service, food and drinks. A true gem on the beach with fresh food, a full bar and super swanky. You have to try it! Jojo is the best!

Very nice, highly recommend! Food was amazing and Jojo the waitress was so friendly we will be coming back!

Everything is perfect food came down from heaven and Jojo brought it

Our server JoJo was an excellent waitress with a passion for making her customers feel, welcomed and at home. Would recommend this place to everyone who wants to try Mediterranean food. It was a completely delicious and filling meal and it was my first time trying this type of food and I was not disappointed. 5/5 review!!!!

This place is absolutely gorgeous. The service is excellent and the waiters are so kind! I can’t wait to come back here!

Super cute, great atmosphere! Food was very fresh and delicious! Service was prompt and great! 😊 They serve bread and olive oil upon seating! We got the caprese and chopped steak! Very reasonable pricing too!

A restaurant you want to return to again! The food is very tasty! Fresh vegetables from the garden, very comfortable terrace and very friendly service! And a very nice price for everything we ordered!

Great food, atmosphere, and service, definitely coming back to try more of the menu.

Menu is different at the restaurant then on line. Server likes to talk over you. First time there, probably the last. Food was fair.

Finally a Mediterranean seafood available on st pete beach. I am extremely happy about a restaurant that serve whole branzino.

Had a great dinner at Branzini! My fiancee had pirate skewers. Shrimp, scallops, fish. Ate one, took one home! I had a special. Lamb shank over home made mashed potatoes and asparagus! Wonderful! Will do it again!

Had the Calamari app and Octopus. Calamari was fresh hand breaded to order, with plenty of tentacles. Almost impossible to find restaurants around here that do this anymore. Octopus was fresh and tender. Probably, a few too many potatoes served with it. Both were excellent! Will be back.

Restaurant with delicious food and very good service.

Great bartender pouring an amazing bloody Mary. Upham beach hidden gem

Yum! So good. We had the grilled octopus, branzini with risotto and lobster ravioli. Everything was fresh and cooked well. Quality ingredients and good service. Will come again.

Dynamite food! One of the best around. I’m from Chicago originally and finally!! Thanks for opening‼️

Hubby and I stopped in for breakfast. Talk about a 1st rate, elevated flavor profile! This is hands down the most delicious breakfast I have had in recent memory.. Our server, JoJo was knowledgeable and delightful. We very highly recommend!

Had the raviolis and seafood pasta and both were out of this world

Nice place, good food and service.

Delightful ! JoJo our server was excellent , friendly and accommodating. 5 ladies went after theater. The food is fresh and delicious. 👍

Good food and friendly atmosphere. Tony was a great waiter and made us feel welcomed.

Jojo was amazing. Best fish we had on our trip.

Really good food. I love the place.

The food was phenomenal and the service was exceptional. From the mouth watering Stuffed Dates to the delicious Tuna Cubes appetizer and the generous Branzini Filet, every bite was perfect. We left with full bellies, smiles on our faces, and a promise to return the following week with friends, which we did and they loved it too.  To the lucky St. Pete Beach residents and our visiting tourists, you've got a culinary treasure nearby – savor it! A big shout out to Tazo, Kyle, and Tony for your excellent service! A bigger shout out to the Chef; simply unique and delicious of its own!

Excellent fresh food. Were here twice and always loved it.

Everything was excellent! I like it! Thank you for unusual food in USA:)

Very good. Problem was a group of 26 people walked in, to be seated together. Very noisey. Took the whole staff to waite on them. Yes, we would go back!

Very nice place, delicious food

Food, drinks and atmosphere are great ! Service from Will was EXCELLENT ❤️

Food was perfect Service was excellent. Thank you Tony for service!

Love this place for a quick stop! App and cocktail ! Great friendly service!

Delicious pizza Mediterranean style

There are many good things about this new restaurant that opened in 2024. The establishment has quickly become known for its excellent food and service, especially regarding seafood. I highly recommend the "Beet Salad" and "Vegetarian Spaghetti" dishes for vegetarians, as both are delicious. The portions are generous, so you may only need to order one portion. They also serve decent pizza with a thin crust. Only four options are available for dessert, including Napoleon cake, Baklava, and Chocolate cake. Additionally, this restaurant has a bar and serves alcoholic drinks. However, it's worth noting that one downside is its location close to the road, which can make it quite noisy when motorcycles are running. Despite this, the restaurant is still well worth a visit, especially for seafood lovers and vegetarians looking for delicious options.

Went to check this new place to see if u can add it to the recommended list to my guests staying in MajesticBeachCondo nearby. The place is definitely going on our recommended list. The food is very good. Ordered whole branzini and it was very good. Steak and seafood linguine were great too. Great selection of wines and beer. Service is excellent and very attentive. Our server Vincenzo was great. We loved their outside seating.

The Vegetarian pizza I ordered did not have anything that was listed on their menu. It was supposed to have Eggplant, Cherry Tomatoes, Arugula, Olives & Mushrooms. When I had ordered the Vegetarian Pizza a couple of months ago, it had all of those ingredients & was very good. However, this evening when I ordered it they only had peppers & onions on the pizza...none of the toppings I was expecting or wanted. Disappointing, also because it didn't have much flavor. I would have said something to our server, but he seemed overwhelmed and distracted.

Good all around. Polite, fast, good.

First impression: WOW Will be back for sure

This was our 2nd trip to Branzini for lunch. We have enjoyed this new spot both times. We were offered bread as soon as we sat down. It was served with a side of tangy olive oil. We split the veggie pizza and seafood skewers. Both were tasty and we have half a pizza left for dinner. All for $50 including tip. Our waiter, Doug, was attentive and the ambience is beachy chic. This is a nice addition to the SPB dining scene.

We stumbled today over this still new restaurant and decided to give it a try. We were amazed by the ambiance, the friendly server ( Jo) and the excellent food! The owner came to our table as well to greet us and he has a very friendly welcoming personality! We will be back for sure as often as we can. Great contribution for St Pete beach!

Love this new Gem in St Pete's Beach. Lobster Ravioli is amazing.

Branzini was the highlight of our family getaway to St. Pete. Amazing food and great people (Athena and Will in particular) make this gem of a restaurant a must-visit. Try the Grilled Halloumi!

Most amazing bruschetta I’ve ever had.

Really great food, very welcoming service, and nicly located on the main strip. Parking may be a challenge for larger cars and especially trucks. But that pretty much goes for most of the restaurants in the area. I had the Stuffed Calamari with a glass of Delirium Belgin Ale and a Napoleon for dessert. Loved it all! It was all very good and certainly worth a second visit to try their other tasty options. The waitress was also very friendly and happy to serve us. These days, it's so wonderful to see people who obviously enjoy what they do. Kudos!

Amazing in every way!!. Branzino’s was a terrific experience, from making a reservation with JoJo, to meeting Vincenzo, the mouthwatering Branzino (order it whole!!!) and blackened grouper, good wine list and homemade dessert. Exceptional service in a great atmtosphere. Highly recommend it! We are already planning our next visit.

Best mediterranean food in the area!Very fresh and delicious food!!

My new favorite spot on St Pete Beach! The staff is so welcoming and friendly and the atmosphere is really nice. Every member of the staff seem like they truly enjoy being there and make you feel the same, JoJo is so sweet, Milos is hilarious and very good at his job, Dougie is super cool, and Will is an awesome bartender...I could go on and on about the staff, every person is incredible. They have a super cute outside space that is covered from the sun with access to the nice long bar. Will is amazing behind the bar with his crafted cocktails made with fresh ingredients. I ordered a cucumber martini and Will blended fresh cucumbers which made the drink very refreshing! I told him I loved watermelon and he made a watermelon margarita with freshly blended watermelon. Try the blueberry or Strawberry mimosa with you guessed it, fresh fruit. He definitely has skills. My favorite dish on the menu is the Whole Branzini..trust me, it's simply delicious. They have happy hour and brunch daily so I highly recommend to stop in and let the staff put a smile on your face.

A Delicious surprise on SPB! The food & service is superb! I MUST HAVE 1 of their home made soups & beet salad EVERY time we go. Simply delightful!

Went there recently and enjoyed the food and listening to the band Kafkasso. Really great atmosphere 👍

We sat outside on a lovely breezy patio. Ceviche was delicious! Drinks were wonderful. Service great! Really great potatoes, eggs, everything.

What a wonderful establishment! Service excellent, food was amazing! Loved it ! Thank you Milosh !

Great atmosphere, service was amazing, waiters and waitresses gave perfect service, food was so great I had a grilled chicken and was one of the best I’ve had!! Would definitely recommend 10/10 place!! Great band as well . My friend had her birthday here and they made her feel extremely welcome and had a great dessert. Jojo was our waitress and she was amazing, gave excellent service and made us feel extremely welcome and happy to be there, im going to butcher this name but Vincenzo also was an amazing waiter and checked on us consistently and was extremely kind.

Absolutely LOVED this restaurant!! Came with my 2 girlfriends for my birthday and got the grilled chicken with mashed potatoes and vegetables. They did the cutest birthday celebration and had live music the whole time! The music was lovely and at the perfect volume. Jojo and Vincenzo were amazing servers! 100/10. Please go support them in St. Pete’s!!

terrible loud music--busy corner street at the stop light-you cant have a conversation--rude waiters and aggressive manager--most of the time almost empty--when across street restaurant is full--wondering why?

3rd time dining here and every meal was consistent and delicious.

Outrageously loud music - disturbing the whole neighborhood.

Food was excellent as was the service. Prices were very reasonable. Will definitely return!

Not sure about the food but great ambience been fantastic customer service.

I am so happy that St. Pete Beach has this amazing place. The food is amazing and the atmosphere is top notch!! I can’t say enough good things about this place! It’s truly an incredible spot to hang out and enjoy the weather, your friends, and amazing food!!!

We were there for lunch with our group of 4 friends. All the meals we ate were very delicious. Each of us left there with great pleasure. The portions were both quite large and very pleasing to the eye. The service was wonderful and fast. We can't wait to come back here🙏🏼❤️

As locals we were very excited to try Branzini, finally got there tonight and left very disappointed. I ordered the Ribeye. The steak was tough, I could barely cut through it. The potatoes that came with the meal where cold and not cooked enough. The waitress did bring another potato, but it was just warm and still hard, not cooked enough. My husbands had the Pirate Skewers, they were very mediocre. The service was just ok, when my husband asked for a new dinner napkin she brought a wad of cocktail napkins. I had to ask for a steak knife (not that it nattered) and when she took our order, she didn't ask how I wanted the steak cooked so we had to call her back and tell her. There was also the smell of cigarette smoke wafting through the dining room, that was coming from a woman smoking at the outside bar that opens up into the dining room. There is not enough parking, there were only 5 tables and the lady at the bar, and we had to park across Gulf Blvd. I really hate to write such a negative review, but for the price of a meal there it should be top notch. Maybe they will improve with time? But the food has to improve.,

Had lunch with friends from up North, all four of us had excellent meal; grouper, chicken, ravioly, and soup.
