Pinellas' Best...

1. THEE Best Cuban Sandwich is located at a small deli across the street from the St. Pete/Clw airport down the street from the 49th street jail.  You might question what the hell the name of the place is, but it really doesn't matter...  they have the best cubans and they sell machettis to boot !

2. The Best Bar/Pub has to be O'Keefe's on Fort Harrison...  they have absolutely everything you could ever want to eat and drink...   also they host the largest St. Patty's day event in the state.

3. The Best Italian Food truly is Carraba's.   sure it's a chain, but the quality and the consistancy you get for the price is unbeatable.

4. Best Mexican Food is Carmelita's (several locations) hand's down.

5. Best Sports Bar (for any sport) CAPOGNA'S !!!  Home of the USF Preseason Tailgate !!!!

Its lunch... when I used to live down in Lutz I used to go to the one on Dale Mabry Hwy, they a few around town now, and the food is great.

The only problem I have with them is that the waiters glare at you while your eating as if they want to harm you... other than that its good eating... the all you can eat flan is a big bonus in my book
