Il Ritorno St. Petersburg Reviews from The Last Year
Steak lovers beware!
I ordered the Wagu Ribeye, medium rare…Expensive to say the least, however… The server comes back and informs me the chef will only cook it to “medium temp” and not any lower…I was like, What?? I don’t like drama, but I was speechless for 3 seconds… So, to get a steak at medium rare, I had to “pay an extra $7” for a New York Strip. I hesitated but caved… BIG mistake! 1st, Ribeye is a better tasting cut due to fat content (IMO) just tastier all around, and then 2nd I “caved” to what likely was an upsell…I should have switched altogether. I mean what chef will NOT do medium rare for a requesting customer? I’ve heard chefs won’t do “well done temp” and rightly so. The NY strip was tepid/slightly warm when it arrived, and tough to chew…and $79…for a smallish, already sliced steak that was on taste/texture level of a Sam Seltzers steak. Rest of the meal was good and wife loved her meal, however that was my first and last visit as I was very disappointed in my steak!
Perfection
It’s restaurant is amazing ! Start to finish it’s the best. Our server Devin was great , attentive and knowledgeable with a great sense of humor. Cocktails to start and a Super Tuscan to go with dinner. Charcuterie board was the best , great cheeses and meats with a spicy pork pâté that we all Loved. The Oxtail main course is good , I was salivating for days in anticipation!! Zeppole and Affogato for dessert with espresso and Amaretto to finish a perfect meal !! Do your self a favor and go !! Friday and Saturday definitely plan ahead and make a reservation.
An excellent tasting menu that’s full of flavor
Chef de Cuisine Sheridan Scott helmed the kitchen staff to a perfect finish—a visually pleasing, fresh, and flavorful meal. It was great to watch the chefs not only handle the exacting details of a chef’s table but also the rest of the restaurant and its al la carte menu. Surprisingly I enjoyed the mackerel, but my favorite was by far the truffle risotto (with the uncharged alba truffle shavings). Close seconds were the Dungeness Crab and the unique Hokkaido scallops. It’s a busy restaurant but the service was always on point and pleasant. The Chef’s table is the way to go for a creative and tasty meal (celebratory or not), in the heart of downtown St Petersburg.
Why no Michelin Star?
Tampa Schmampa. I love Tampa restaurants. But on a sleepy St. Pete street some gnarly dude hols court... his name is David Benstock. He apparently sweeps some magic wand over some exotic potions and creates stuff out of thin air. St. Pete? Yes, but Benstocks St. Pete. il Ritorno is every bit as good as Onyx in Budapest or Edvard in Vienna two of our favorites, both with Michelin stars. Benstock pays attention to flavor for sure. But also texture and temperature and weird exotic taste sensation mixes that dance off the tongue and linger for just the right amount of time. Friendly wait-staff, servers, greeters and bar personnel. (they make their own Lemncello... amazing stuff) This is not thrown together fare. The kitchen is in full view, nothing hidden. No chaos but rather an army of Kitchen culinary connoisseurs, artists actually who quietly work in tandem to make stunning dishes for anyone that is lucky enough to darken the door of this incredible intimate quiet venue. Fish & pork we had. Sounds mundane, until you taste it Benstock style. Indescribable. No words. And terrific wine list.
Great food worth your choice to dine here
It has been a few years since we dined at Il Ritorno on Central ave in St. petersburg. We loved this restaurant then and love this restaurant now, delicious! All food is made in house wonderful bread and pesto and whipped butter brought to the table. Service is excellent, knowledgeable and enjoyable wait staff genuinely want you to enjoy your experience. $25 corkage if you bring your own wine ( max 2 bottles). Drinks from bar are delicious and made well. The only issue I have has nothing to do with the restaurant, downtown st. petersburg has an awful parking problem. homemade foie gras lasagne as fantastic, truffle risotto delicious, short rib ravioli flavorful and not heavy beautifully delicate. Be sure to have a reservation, go early to be sure we have time to hunt for parking. Bar has seats you can dine at, outside seating available. This is a great spot!
A great dinner
We have been to this restaurant quite a few times. The food and service are consistently excellent The staff is highly professional and our dishes were delicious It is upscale and worth the expense
Imaginative and Tasty
This is a great spot to try an innovative take on Italian food. Everything was fresh and delicious and some familiar dishes were presented in imaginative ways. The service was great, the wine was excellent. My only complaint would be that the amount of food we got for the steep price paid was a bit disappointing. But overall, we would go again.
Superb Dining
Four of us had a special dinner here. This small restaurant has a nice atmosphere (lively but not too loud) and fabulous food. Lena did a great job taking care of us as well. You will need reservations and parking is on the street. We started w/ a charcuterie board and ate every piece. Nice selection of meat, cheese, veggies and nuts. Enough for 4. Three of us then had the short rib mezzaluna which be is a specialty. It’s a light ravioli. One couple split a salad which they also enjoyed. I had the branzino which came w/peas and a beautiful sauce. All wonderful. We added a bottle of Chablis and two desserts (donuts and sorbet). $375 before tip. We would definitely return.

Great Service - amazing dinner!!
Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!!
Worked perfectly!
Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.
Got into Nobu Malibu
Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!
Very easy
Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future
Fabulous Lunch
I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!
Great reviewer team
Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks!
Incredible
I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service.
Best platform out there!
Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations!
This app is life changing
This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10!
Worked perfectly
Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly.
Highly recommended.
Success on Short Notice
Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again!
Worked flawlessly!
Worked so well! I was a bit nervous, but everything went very smoothly. purchased the reservation, and got into the restaurant seamlessly.
Love this app!
So glad I came across this app :)
Quick table in Miami
I didn’t have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here
Prime time, great meal
So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it
Got impossible NYC res
instead of waiting weeks I got my 4 charles reservation instantly
Worked perfectly to get into Carbone. So delighted
perfect
Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability
I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.
Last minute reservation for Delilah Las Vegas
Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldn’t be happier! 😍
It works!
Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!
Money transfer
As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.
Love this app
Got to go to places otherwise unreachable
Easy Access
Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York.
Appointment
I was waiting on the transfer for name but it hasn’t happened yet and my reservation is tonight , will it be an issue that is hasn’t changed into my name yet
Buyers interested in Bern's Steakhouse: PLEASE READ
Same goes for 4 Charles and I Sodi
Prepaid Reservation Fee
Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.
Just got scammed!
Thats unfortunate but you can always get your money back if they cancel the reservation.
Congrats on 3 mil
🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🧨🧨🧨 now on to 30 mill!
Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it?
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid?
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted.
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
