Best Fine Dining Restaurants in St. Pete Beach

We came here for my husband's birthday dinner. This was our first time at Malio's. Our dinner and service were both amazing. We ordered the Filet and porkchop. Both cooked to perfection. Our friends ordered the Filet and Scallops and loved both of those as well. We shared the jalapeno creamed corn, Brussel sprouts and loaded baked potatoes. All the sides were fantastic. For dessert we ordered the Creme Burlet and Banana Foster and again both were absolutely amazing. Some of the best food all 4 of us has eaten. We live an hour away and we will definitely be coming back. It's worth the drive!! My only complaint would be that it is a little loud in there when it's busy. Hard to hear across the table sometimes but we won't let that stop us from coming back again soon!

This was our second time at Mei, we went for the soft opening and were already blown away at the quality of the food and the exceptionality of the services. I expected nothing less for the Grand Opening. The 5 course experience truly was one of a kind, I am still chasing those flavors as I write this. The staff was quick and attentive while remaining at their absolute best. Food was 12/10. My feedback after every course was welcomed eagerly and accepted without reservation (most of it was simply praise or wanting more of the dish because it was so good). Mei is doing something special in this city and I am eager to return for my 3rd trip in the near future. Congrats to Chef Alex and his entire team on the great success that is Mei.

Joel was our server and was amazing. The pull apart focaccia and meatballs were outstanding. The Caesar salad was one of the best I’ve had. The dressing was so light and flavorful. The lobster spaghetti absolutely delicious with great flavor and pasta cooked perfectly. The steaks are always perfect. The chicken dish is full of flavor and the skin is so crisp. Absolutely a fantastic experience as always. 

Never a bad experience here, service is top notch and attentive, courses flowed nicely allowing time to also socialize during the meal, Tomahawk Tuesday are awesome for Birthdays and value priced, Had an Awesome 70th Birthday experience, Thank you

IL Riorno is by far one of our favorite restaurants in the Tampa Bay Area. I know they are in the Michelin Guide two years running, by in my humble opinion they should already have a Star. Last night we had dinner to celebrate my birthday. As usual, we were not disappointed. The dishes were off the charts amazing and the service was superb. Shout out to Chef Benstock, Joe and CiCi.
