The city of Pinellas Park is located in eastern Florida. The city acts as a byway between the Tampa Bay metro area and Florida's Atlantic coast. Largely a suburban bedroom community, several restaurants are in operation in the Pinellas Park region, many of which specialize in the cuisine of Italy.
Campanella's Italian Restaurant offers a rotating schedule of weekly lunch and dinner specials in addition to their salad, pizza and pasta entrees. Patrons can choose from starters like scungilli salad with vinaigrette sauce, bocconcini bread and eggplant campanella with mozzarella. Several fettuccine entree options are available, pairing pasta with chicken, shrimp, bacon, sliced Italian sausage and veal. All entrees are served with a garden salad with a choice of house-made dressings and handmade garlic bread.
