TJs Italian Cafe in Indian Rocks Beach

We only picked up a pizza, it was ok pricey for a pizza.

What a wonderful restaurant, right across the street from our condo on the IRB beach...I don’t know where to begin. The menu is amazing and they have indoor and outdoor seating. Sharon was an amazing host and we hit it off, both of us born in, LY, NY. They are taking precautions by hanging beautiful curtains between tables. I’ll share photos

What a surprisingly intoxicating Italian experience hidden in plain sight! This restaurant is very upscale although you wouldn't suspect it at first glance! The outdoor patio when you first walk up is just stunning! Complete with comfortable seating and gorgeous chandeliers. When we opened the door we were overwhelmed with the delicious aromas of chicken parmesan, brick oven pizza, and spaghetti with meatballs and sausage. We opted to sit inside because it was humid outside although I seriouly debated sitting on the front porch just to feel like I was a princess at the grand center table underneath the Victorian chandeliers! I have to say - the experience sitting inside felt just as majestic! And we took in all the amazing smells of freshly prepared Italian dishes as they were served from the kitchen! This amazing experience was all so reasonably priced I'm already planning my next visit to indulge in all of their mouth watering dishes!! 😋

Amazing food! We met Ms.Kim at the hotel where we stayed, Erica was a delight to meet! You could really tell the chef takes pride in all of the dishes me prepares! - Stephen and Jessica from Georgia ;)

Very friendly hostess. Got a outside patio and inside seating..right outside the beach entry.. fantastic food.

Authentic Italian food, great value and service, we love this place!

Although a little pricey, they do have good food and the waitress was absolutely wonderful.

The seafood medley was amazing, the whole family enjoyed their meals and the meatballs were huge and delicious! We will return on our next vacation

Thank you Adam for your service & for all the patience and time you spent with us.

Love this place. ERICA is an awesome server and will defiantly be returning. Me and my girlfriend had never been here before and we are in love.

Just recently moved to Clearwater, we are trying a lot of the restaurants out. We ordered the works pie and lasagna, both were really good. Billy was our waiter, he alone gets 5 stars, awesome waiter!!! The hostess needs to find a job she enjoys because it was obvious she doesn’t like her job. Will definitely return and will be asking to sit in Billy’s section.

We ordered curbside pickup after an evening at the beach. We picked up the food at 9:40, near closing time. The food was well packaged and delicious! I ordered coffee, and they made a fresh pot. That alone made me very happy! Great menu with lots of selections for different tastes. It was a great end to a day-cation.

Got our food 3 hours later after we told them just to charge us for the drinks and appetizer.And then they said that we were under charged.The food was good The service was terrible

Awful service made worse when the owner berated us for "dragging him out of the kitchen". This after he sent a server to pose as a manager. We were one of three occupied tables. We also heard him loudly cursing at the staff from inside the kitchen. Terrible experience. Never going back.

Good food just a little pricey but beach life is

Great food, service and atmosphere.

A regular go to spot. The food quality had really improved. Server seemed new and once food was dropped off seemed to forget we were there. That's the only reason for the four star rating.

The food was fresh and delicious! I went there for Valentine's Day and there was no wait. I live nearby and would definitely be returning.

Friends whose pic is posted tooka few of there for dinner all food was delicious. Great ambiance and wonderful food. Highly recommend

Great place. Been here a few times now. The owners are super nice, and the staff is pleasant and attentive. The restuarant is very clean,The atmosphere is laid back and casual feeling, however the food is nowhere near casual. The food we ordered was delicious, served hot, and you can taste and feel how much love gets put into the meals. We enjoyed every bit of the experience. The music in the background is at a perfect volume, Thank you for making my birthday complete with a nice dinner. We will be returning in the future for sure!

One of the worst dining experiences I’ve ever had! While on vacation, stopped into this place on Thursday with my family. First off, probably not a great sign when there is no one in attendance at 7:30... food was mediocre at best. service took forever and the server seemed so scatter- brained. Brought out two of the same dish my sister ordered. Didn’t know how to split the checks either. Lastly, left $20 for a $14 check and he gave us back $16 dollars. We didn’t realize his error until we got home and when we tried to return the money later the next day we were greeted rudely. We will never go this place again!

The food was wonderful.

Best lobster ravioli, with big chunks of lobster. Great service. Thanks Anthony!

Tons of menu choices, you can definitely find something for yourself. Lovely al Dente pasta, not overcooked Like a lot of places will do. I had the garlic cream bowtie pasta, it was excellent. Reasonably priced food, they're not ripping you off on the extras like a small salad, glass of wine or beer. Great atmosphere, large deck for outdoor seating as well. I would most definitely eat here again. Clean and classy.

Thr service is excellent and would love to go back soon ❤

Why I would rate Tj's a 3 is because I ordered the pepperoni pizza and the pepperoni is not real. It looks like school food

Very polite waitress, decent menu selection, large portions, cozy but lively place there was a live musician playing when we visited.

Great little Italian restaurant, service was superb and the food was too. Away from the major tourist area I love Indian Rocks Beach and this place , try it out

We have had pizza from dozens of places in Pinellas. This is definitely one of THE BEST!!! The wings were by far, THE BEST we have found. We didn't dIne in, we picked up, but the inside is absolutely beautiful. They were catering a small beautiful party in the front covered porch, also beautiful. The menu looks awesome. We can't wait to go back!

We went for dinner we did have a big party but they knew we would be coming if you couldn’t take care of us should have said soTook 2 1/2 for my dinner to come to tableWait staff was the worst customer service is a noTo start with they spilled drink on me with no care in the worldAfter 2 hours I was done asked to speak with manager and staff said no he was to busy to see meThey made 3 out of 4 meals wrong I asked for it to go I was over it still took 30 mins for them to get boxI asked 3 people for my bill no care you just need to wait And was told when I was handed the bill that they didn’t add a tip really I see you will never have repeat customers just one timers There is many. Choices out there don’t go there Fair warning

I wish I could give this place more stars. The restaurant was so cute and cozy. Our waitress was amazing. The food.... insane. The portions were huge! Our kids shared a small 12 inch pizza and were only able to eat half. My husband ordered the stromboli and could only eat half and he doesnt have a small appetite. I ordered the lasagna... it was huge. Everything is made fresh to order but the wait isnt even that long. It was amazing.

Elegant place on the beach to dine in or carry out. Service great.All food was so good .. hand tossed and made white cheese steak pizza my favorite.Also like the spaghetti and steak.Its become a weekly favorite

Terrible hostess and waitresses as soon as we arrived. Food was great but service was terrible. Have been treated better by the McDonald’s drive thru worker handing me food in a bag.

What a wonderful experience. I’ve been here a few times but had the pleasure of coming here with a group of 22 and we couldn’t have been happier. Incredible service, delicious food for being served to the masses, and a great atmosphere!!! I am excited to frequent this restaurant more and I am happy to tell all of my friends about it. The tuna was perfect, pasta scrummy, and wine was a variety and delicious. Thank you for a fabulous evening!!

Wonderful place, great clean, italian food, kind and proffessional stuff!

Red sauce is on point. Meat balls are tender. He’s got the right recipe. Alfredo is light and right. TJ is a top notch host. For those from up north looking for a solid Italian restaurant, look no further.

The service is excellent, the food is top notch, and I don't have anything negative to say. The decor helps create a relaxing ambiance.

Omg the food is amazing here had the. Calzone and Antipasto delish. Tony rocks if you can get him as your server I totally recommend it!

Pizza is fresh and delicious, I like thin and crunchy. Also the spaghetti is great. I order the child portion for my son and it's more than enough.

The food was so fresh n served hot, very tasty also!

Love this place .. friendly, easy to get wait staff attention.. clean.I love their pizza's.. Only suggestions..Toppings go to edge of pizza..Having pizza with a 3 inch crust around it, is not good, and...A little more on toppings.Can always tell when TJ is making our pizza.. excellent.Beautiful inside and recent remodel out side.. is just lovely !

Delightful evening. Pizza and a bottle of wine on the porch. Excellent food and service.

TJ's was/is among the best experiences that we had in a long time. The service was extraordinary and the food every bit as good as any that we've had in the surrounding area including Tampa Bay, Clearwater, St Pete -Very High Recommendation here!!

Really good authentic Italian. The veal parm is amazing. Hint swap out the marinara sauce for Alfredo and it is even more amazing. Have to stop when we’re in Indian Shores.

Stopped here on vacation and it was fabulous! The atmosphere is lovely as well as the food is delicious. Generous portions & tasty! We ordered the lobster ravioli & chicken parm 😋Huge menu w/ summer specials! We will definitely be back next time we are in town! Thank you Tonia- you were sweet and accommodating!

try to go as often as we can! Live in Temple Terrace. But it is still the best around, try to always get Erika as our server! She is the best and makes the experience a 10 star but reviews will only let me do 5 stars!! White Philly cheesesteak pizza is by far our favorite!

Excellent food and service.Pricing is great. Very Large portions.

Food is fantastic, server and prices excellent!

Went with a large group (over 35 people) at this restaurant. Other than our server being courteous that’s about all I can say about this establishment. The dinner was scheduled way in advance and our party waited over 2.5 hours (With kids!) to finally get our meals. This is unacceptable. If you could not accommodate that many people in a group the owner should have said so. We could have gone somewhere else. I’ve been a resident for over 20 years and I’ve never EVER been in a hospitality industry where patrons waited that long to be served their meals. Stay away especially If in a large group! Disappointed!

Fantastic food, service, and great atmosphere. We will definitely eat there again and recommend to our friends.
