My wife and I were shopping in Bartow this afternoon, and had lunch at Tua's (as my wife had read a number of excellent reviews on the food and service). This is a family owned and run restaurant that is very clean, and offers a good selection of Italian foods.
My wife had their house salad with chicken, and I had their sausage, peppers & onions dish. Both were excellent, and tasty.
They mentioned that expanded gluten free dishes will soon be added to their menu, and as well pizzas. This restaurant is well worth checking out, if you enjoy fresh quality Italian food.
