Pia’s Veranda: Casual Italian Dining with Fresh Seafood & Relaxing Beach Vibes in Gulfport, FL

Had a delicious dinner sitting outside on a delightful evening. The the mista appetizer was delicious, homemade linguine was worth the splurge on carbs, and the sweet potato cheesecake was unique and delicious! We had a wine & a martini- both were great. A fun evening hanging out with my daughter!! We’ll be back

This place was recommended by a friend and I'm glad it was! I sat inside near the bar. Only about 5 tables inside but outside has plenty of seating and tonight they had live misic. A cool and casual atmosphere. I had Katie as my server, she was sweet, pleasant, and made sure I had everything I needed. The meal was really very good. I had the caprese salad and veal parm. Both were delicious. The veal came with homemade pasta and was also really very good. I will definitely return.

Amazing food. The seafood dishes we ordered were not fishy and not overcooked. The environment was very peaceful and relaxing especially with the garden like wall. Overall the service from our waitress Laura would make us come back. She was very attentive engaging and educated of the dishes. Definitely the best service of our trip.

This is a regular dinner spot for us, when we are visiting the St Pete area. Pia’s Veranda is a more casual, no reservation required patio spot with great Italian food. It’s the exact same food served at the trattoria, just with better breezes and a great beachy vibe. Red checked table clothes, sunshades, and palm trees make for a great atmosphere. Servers are incredibly helpful, knowledgeable about the food, and are ready to help you make choices that fit many dietary requirements. Specials are always good - my last visit included the fig, walnut and goat cheese spinach salad, followed by swordfish with risotto, accompanied by 1/2 carafe of house Pinot Grigio. Enjoy an espresso martini while you peruse the menu, it’s delicious! This food is not inexpensive, but it is worth it.

Love to hang out here on their porch, listen to some music and get some decent Italian food. I have found I enjoy just about every dish. I am bummed they no longer make house iced teas as I enjoyed a crafted non alcoholic option. The desserts, pasta dishes, fish. It’s all delightful. I prefer the air conditioned spot next door during the summer months but as it can be hard to get a reservation there in short notice this is a great new option. I recommend getting there early if you want a seat.

This place is a gem! Nestled in Gulfport amongst all the little shops and other local restaurants, this restaurant really stands out with the beautiful outdoor and indoor restaurant areas. They have live music on the patio...the trees and flowers make it a very romantic experience. All the tables are spaced appropriately and allow for a comfortable kind of private/cozy experience. The menu is incredible...I've been here a few times and I've tried different dishes each time and I must say they've all been amazing! The staff are super friendly and make for a great experience. This place is the complete package. I highly recommend visiting and dining at Pia's. Whether you're visiting or you live locally, Pia's is sure to be a memorable culinary experience.
