Hopefully not to late but Kinjo's near Tyrone is good in St. Pete and I've always like Matoi's on Dale Mabry in Tampa.

I think the best one I've had is the Pho at Alesia Restaurant in St. Pete. New place just opened about a month ago www.alesiarestaurant.com. Second one I like probably Taste of Saigon in Pinellas Park.

Just Tried Astra's and was pretty good. Thanks for the tip guys. I think Little T. hit the nail on the head regarding the cheese. The first slice I thought it was just an ordinary slice but the second slice you can tell they werent skimping on the cheese which gave it a nice bite. I've frequent Gianni's and do enjoy their pizza; although it was starting to become an expensive habit.

Thanks all. Will definitely try both sides of the bay to the places mentioned above.

I just moved into town about two months ago and just found about chowhound recently so bare with me. I have been trying alot of okay pizza. Anyone recommend a solid "New York" Style pizza? Thanks in advance.

I just tried this place and thought it was pretty good. Has anyone else tried or heard much about the place?

Toasted Pheasant - Small Plates nicely executed

Ceviches - Love their scallops in Manchego Cream Sauce

Fleming's- I know its a chain but Can't Go Wrong, consistent and solid everytime I've been.

Pane Rustica - Great bread and overall lunch experience. I could eat there all the time.

Alesia Restaurant - Tried this New Restaurant in St. Pete. that finally opened. It really suprized me on solid fresh food and on price. Vietnamese - French concept. Great Pho and Banh Mi Sandwiches
