My Italian Grandparents came to this country many years ago. They opened their first restaurant, in South Plainfield, NJ, during the depression. The lines wound around the block! I have not had such magnificent Italian cooking, since moving to Tampa! We found this restaurant, on the recommendation, of our Daughter, who moved down here, to Tampa, almost twenty years ago...We moved here a year and a half ago and are sick and tired, of the chain restaurants! Everything, in the Westchase area, is a chain, of sorts...Ivarones is clean, has an attentive staff with excellent food. Ivarones, fills a huge void.....FINALLY!
