Food decent but it has gone down a bit since our last visit Last visit meatballs were light and melted away with each bite Last night they were dense heavy and had a different taste Waiter said same recipe my mouth says something very different Staff overall lazy hostess did not even open door for people leaving She just says wrong door as people leave wtf your 3 feet from the door Open it for them Stay off you phone that goes for bar help in pizza side also Leave your phone alone pay attention to the people that come to your restraunt or we won’t come And honestly if you oblast you can not open a door you probably don’t even care Will not be back

Really expected at least a happy birthday greeting for my husband as it was a reservation with the comment. The restaurant was completely empty. Nice place. Charc board and garlic cheese rolls were excellent. My meal was just ok honestly . The meatballs that beat bobbly flay were very porky and didn’t balance nicely with the beef. The sauce was really lack luster. Husband thought his short rib risotto was fine. The waiter/bartender was very pleasant and made a great cosmo . Just wasn’t worth the hype from the reviews and being on the Michelin guide for Tampa restaurants…

Had a bigger group, when we arrived at 6:45 it was pretty empty but got full in a hurry. Food was pretty good, and not outrageously priced considering the area. Meatballs live up to their reputation for sure. Plan for long dinner

The dinner at Cena was outstanding, with a fantastic atmosphere and delicious food. Chef Buttacavolli's meatballs were especially popular.
