Candela's Pizzeria & Ristorante Italiano

Great food. Casual atmosphere. Friendly staff. Locally owned.

Handled a group of 27 flawlessly. Loved the Veal Marsala. Private room is a real plus.

The best pizza, wings, and pasta we've found in the area. Hands down. Not sure why this isn't rated higher - everything we've had from here is delicious and authentic tasting. Don't skip this place if you have a hankering for Italian!

The food was very good. The portion size was very good. We enjoyed our dinner there and had enough to take home for another meal. Their social distancing was great. Can't wait to return.

In preparation for Hurricane Irma, I went here to get some sandbags. My husband was at work and I am disabled and have an extremely hard enough time moving, let alone to shovel sand into bags. On September 5, 2017, I went to the Gibsonton location and was greeted in a very polite manner. The first gentlemen asked me if I was disabled. I need shoulder replacements, hip and knee replacements along with numerous other debilitating health conditions. I was stressing out completely because I was on my own. Every person I met was friendly, sincere, kind, empathetic, etc. By the time I pulled up to get my sandbags, I was told to back in and pull into a spot and they would load pre-filled sand bags for me into my truck. All I had to do was unlock my wheelchair lift to open up my tailgate. They were such a blessing!!!! I will never forget how courteous they were and I will forever be grateful and thankful to them! God Bless them!!!
