  Very good quality pizza. If you appreciate Italian style wood fire pizza you will enjoy the pizza here. The crust was chewy and delicious. The ingredients were fresh and flavorful. This place will definitely be my neighbor choice for pizza.

  We visited Viva Napoli last night and honestly had a really nice time. It’s in a quiet residential area, which makes the whole experience feel relaxed and a bit more authentic. The service was warm and attentive without being over the top, just the right balance. You can tell the pizza comes from a wood-fired oven, and the quality of the ingredients really stands out. We tried the 5 formaggi, rich, flavorful, with great cheeses, and a Margherita, which was just as good. You can taste the freshness right away, especially in the tomato sauce. They also have a good selection of beers, both in cans and bottles, with plenty of options. Prices feel fair for Tampa. If I had to point out one small thing, the pizzas could be a little bigger, but honestly the quality makes up for it. The place reminded us of those classic Italian trattorias and pizzerias from the late ’80s and ’90s, simple, rustic, and full of charm. We’ll definitely be back.

  Was excited to try a new Italian/ Pizza joint. This place had one of the highest ratings (4.6) so was optimistic. The pizza somehow managed to be burnt and chewy at the same time. Couldn't believe it. The garlic bread was just as bad as the pizza because it was a pizza- just with garlic instead of tomato sauce and cheese. When i opened the salad container, i observed a tiny insect crawling on a piece of lettuce. Needless to say, won't be going back.

  Very dissapointed, food was so so, charge for Bread, really ? Prices too expensive, definetely won’t be back. Atmosphere was really bad, very noisy and tables very close together, no privacy, owners should spend a lot more time on appearance of rest. Inside.

  I came here because they had a pretty high rating. The restaurant was very pretty inside, I was the only customer. I ordered take out. The server at the counter was kind and attentive and was nice about printing me an itemized reciept even though I ordered through door dash. The cook was on his phone sitting out front by the oven. I got the cheese bread and the chicken piccata. Both were sub par at best. The cheese bread was flavorless and there was barely any cheese actually on it. Though the size was good for the price. The chicken piccata was honestly the worst I've ever had. Flavorless, borderline bitter, the chicken appeared to be frozen and then fried, ( I could be wrong) there was no actual sauce, just greasy lemon juice. If they actually made the sauce from scratch, they did not cook the wine all the way out, which would account for the bitterness. All in all, meh.
