5 stars! We finally tried out this amazingly delicious neighborhood Italian restaurant, and it far exceeded our expectations. Everything was fantastic from that atmosphere to the impeccable service, and the food is absolutely outstanding! We started with the Alice’ Sardine appetizer which was heaven on a plate, it was so delicious! And, The grilled Octopus, was simply divine! We shared the culinary masterpiece, Frutti Di Mare! Everything was perfect, including the fresh baked housemade sesame bread.

We recently dined at Osteria Pollani Italian on Main Street in Safety Harbor, Florida, and it was an outstanding experience! The highlight was the phenomenal Chicken Marsala, prepared in an authentic Sicilian Italian style with tender chicken cutlets (not frozen half breasts) and a perfectly paired side of pasta. The service was impeccable. Our server was attentive without being intrusive, demonstrating a deep knowledge of the menu and the restaurant's offerings, not to mention the history prior to establishing in Safety Harbor. It was clear that she was passionate about providing an exceptional dining experience. The only minor drawback was the table setup for two, which felt a bit overcrowded with decorative items (flowers, lamps, etc), leaving limited space for our dishes. However, the staff quickly accommodated us by relocating us to a larger table outside, which made our meal even more enjoyable on a wonderful Florida evening. I highly recommend Osteria Pollani Italian for anyone seeking delicious authentic Italian cuisine and excellent service. 4.99 STARS

Exceeded our expectations, this place is a must try!! The food is fresh and so flavorful. Husband had the Chicken Parm and I had the Pollo Burrata. We both substituted the house made fettuccine and it was amazing. Service was friendly and attentive. The atmosphere is lively, with live music and lots of people. We felt the prices were a great value for what was served. I was scared about the bread after a few negative comments, but we were served warm, crusty slices. The limoncello cake was so good, we could taste the zest! Overall 10/10, can’t wait to come back!

I’m writing this review after our second visit to this restaurant. In addition to our Feedback, we’ve had two sets of friends have also had a great dining experience. The food is awesome. It’s not necessarily your classic Italian. It’s more of a Sicilian style. However, all of the basic Italian ingredients are there. There’s a good selection of appetizers, main pasta entrees, meat and fish, salads and more. Highly recommended and we will be going there regularly!

Osteria Pollani delivers an authentic and elegant Italian dining experience. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with a refined touch that makes it perfect for both casual dinners and special occasions. The pasta is clearly handmade with care, and the flavors are rich and well-balanced. Service was attentive without being intrusive, and the wine selection was thoughtfully curated. A charming gem for anyone who appreciates quality Italian cuisine.

Stopped at Osteria Pollani for dinner. My family loves Italian cuisine and we had to give the new place a try. Not disappointed at all. Jeanette was our server and she was on point, friendly and knowledgeable. We tried 2 types of gnocchi and both were amazing! The chicken parmigiana was excellent as well. Go see Jeanette! Welcome to the Harbor Osteria Pollani!

Osteria Pollani: A Love Letter in Every Bite There’s something quietly electric about Osteria Pollani, nestled in Downtown Safety Harbor. It’s not just the food—though that’s reason enough. It’s the way the family moves through the space, like they’ve been doing this forever. Like they know the power of a shared table and a perfectly simmered sauce. You can feel how much they want you to love it. And you do. Every bite tastes like it was cooked with memory—like someone whispered to the tomatoes and lit candles for the garlic. It's comfort and intrigue, tenderness with a glint of something deeper. Not just a meal. An experience that lingers.

We made reservations for Christmas Eve dinner for a party of seven. When we arrived the friendly hostess greeted us and we were seated right away. The atmosphere is casual but nice. Our server was friendly and attentive. We had fried calamari, bruschetta and Sicilian Bang Shrimp as appetizers, all of which were excellent. For dinner we ordered the Pollo Burrata, Grouper Siciliano and Penne Vodka all of which were delicious. The wine list is also good. Prices are in line with the quality of food and service. Overall I would highly recommend Osteria Pollani and we will definitely be back.
