    Waited too long to dine at Enza’s. What a treat it was today! Was greeted by my amazing waitress named Amanda upon arrival. Blessed to have met the owner Enza’s herself who was so kind and sweet too. As I listened to the nice holiday music being played by a piano nearby, I sat comfortably browsing the menu. Dining area where I sat opposite the main bar was dimly lit and had a relaxing ambience. The menu had many interesting choices. Some specials were also recommended by Amanda. I’ll definitely try a special on one of my next visits. It sure was difficult but I decided on the the meatball appetizer along with the fried calamari for starters. Dinner entree chosen was the meat lasagna. I also added a side salad and dove into the basket of garlic bread as soon as it arrived to my table. Every dish not only looked super but everything tasted so fresh and delicious. I even dipped the calamari into the meatball sauce which was perfectly sweet and savory. Garlic bread was served hot and melted in my mouth once dipped in some olive oil. Then finally arrived the tasty lasagna and salad. The foods sweetly blended flavors all around brought back many memories from growing up in NJ and eating Italian cuisine close to NYC with my family. Very happy overall with my dining experience and saved some leftovers to enjoy at home. Not sharing with anyone! Can’t wait to dine again at Enza’s and enjoy some of the best Italian cuisine around!

    Very busy place because the food is so dang good. Was not a long wait on food. The owner/chef cooks your food as if you were at her house. TLC I see the same staff so that tells me this is a good place to work. Check out the menu. I had the grouper hmmm delicious 😋 class place. Other side of restaurant live music and drinks are great. I can have better pictures on next visit. Was just so good

    Excellent service and food. Make reservations, they get busy. Know that your food will take time, everything is fresh. Dining here is a traditional Italian experience, meaning its time to relax, enjoy your food and connect with the people you're with.

    My family and I went on Christmas Eve and had the most outstanding dinner! Stephanie was our server.. she was the nicest person! The atmosphere, cocktails and vibe were absolutely wonderful. The food was some of the best Italian I have ever had and I’ve been to Italy! I HIGHLY suggest Enza’s they are family owned and operated and deliver absolute quality with a smile ❤️💚🤍

    My sister and I are visiting Jacksonville on a birthday trip and googled restaurants. We decided to try Enza’s and it was the perfect choice. The ambiance was stellar; the customer service was exceptional, and the food was exquisite! We had the recommended appetizers, salads, and seafood entree and everything was absolutely delicious! The owner greeted us and the waitress was friendly and knowledgeable about each dish. I highly recommend this restaurant, you won’t be disappointed!

    Perfect garlic bread.... my husband had one of the specials... scallops, and they were delicious. I had chicken Alfredo and it was just ok. The marinara on the pasta with the special was shockingly uninteresting for an Italian restaurant. We would go back, but not for anything with the marinara.

    Great local restaurant with great food and service. They also had live piano music too! We ordered lamb chops, chicken parmesan, and pasta carbonara. It was great! The service was also top notch.

    Pro: warm bread, tasty calamari Con: seating is very snug with tables close by, caprese barely had any basil, and tiramisu lacked flavor

    Top notch Italian restaurant, our meal was prepared perfectly. Spinach Ravioli and Baked Lasagna were excellent. Service was superb even during busy dinner hour. Clean nicely decorated restaurant elegant atmosphere.

    Hard not to fall in love with this place. The food is delicious, prices are fair and our server Ida was so sweet. Add the piano player in the background and it simply makes you want to relax and enjoy the evening. We had the lasagna, meatballs, chicken parm, pasta fagoli, enza salad, creme Brule and pistachio gellato. Would get all of that again.

    We decided to try this out tonight for the first time. I called in to place a to go order and they were very prompt in getting it done. However, when I walked in I was stared at by servers sitting and standing at the big table folding silverware linens, no one greeting me, just staring. After standing there for a minute I figured I'd just walk to the bar since no one that was working there could use their words. The bartender was very sweet and ran back and got my food. Now... the food... it was ok. Not as great as I've heard people talk about. Maybe just having an off night I hope. The Greek salad was EXTREMELY disappointing. I was really looking forward to it, too. The description on the menu should list that it only comes with 1 tomato, 2 small slices of peppers, a couple crumbles of feta cheese and very bitter romaine lettuce. Pretty disappointing experience.

    A little gem tucked away in a corner of a plaza. Fantastic cocktails and phenomenal live music by nightly pianist. Service was amazing. Food was delicious, hot and served promptly. My husband had spaghettini and sausage which he loved. I had shrimp scampi … it was good but I did not taste lemon… mostly garlic and butter. Eggplant parmigiana is excellent and lasagna too. Cheesecake was creamy and crème brûlée was perfection. A lovely evening to have for a date night. Super large family table in front of piano. Lots of parking.

    We had reservations for a Birthday celebration and Enza's did not disappoint! The ambiance was lovely, the staff is attentive, but not overly so. Stephanie took care of us and she was phenomenal! Her stellar service started with a no hesitation run down of the specials and she just got better from there! Stephanie took our drink orders and came back with those and some awesome garlic bread that was warm and very tasty! I ordered a starter of calamari and it was hot and delicious! The table placed our orders that ranged from baked ziti to chicken parm to a pork shank special that was to die for!! I am here to say....it was all fantastic! Oh, and plenty of it! More than one box came home!! Enza's is the restaurant for any special occasion or just a night out for a couple! I suggest reservations, though they are always busy! It is worth it!!

    All food courses were delicious. Even though we ate at the bar the service was great. Prices were reasonable. The only quibble was that it was a little on the cold side. I had to get a sweater for my wife and a jacket for myself. Would definitely recommend it to others.

    Love this place! Best Italian food around! Brian has the best piano bar here. He is dripping with talent ✨️ Claire, our bartender, is you in her class!!! And Enza is always offering a friendly smile and conversation. Highly recommend 👌

  • 5/5 Ralph A. 8 months ago on Google
    Enza's was outstanding. Service was great. Everyone was very attentive. The food was very good. We had the fried mozzarella, homemade not frozen, delicious. The meatball appetizer, awesome. We had the baked ziti, chicken parm, gnocchi pesto cream sauce and the linguini and classic, everything delicious! Garlic bread, to die for. My daughter-in-law had been several of years ago, but no one else in the party so it was a pleasant experience for her because it was good as she remembered and the rest of us for the first time. We will definitely be back.

    My husband and I arrived shortly after opening tonight and was immediately greeted by a friendly hostess. We had a reservation and was immediately seated. Cindy was our waitress and she was great! She gave us the specials, made great recommendations, and was attentive. The service was excellent. The food was excellent. There was also someone playing the piano there which gave it a wonderful vibe. I loved the live piano. Definitely recommend and will be back!

    Had a wonderful dinner here tonight. We celebrated my mother-in-law’s birthday and everything from the drinks to desserts were fantastic. Great atmosphere, wonderful service (Amanda was awesome) and can’t wait to go back and try some other dishes on their menu.

    Not only is this a great restaurant to go to, but the catering was AMAZING. I had my wedding with 150 people on 9/7/23 and the food was perfect, there was plenty of food for everyone and more. The service was outstanding and we appreciated Stephanie so much! She helped immensely. Thank you Enzas for helping make our night the best one of our lives ❤️

    My husband took me here for our 2nd anniversary, we were in the piano room, and I absolutely loved it. Amazing food and service. I think our servers name was Dane, but his suggestions were perfect and I can't wait to come back!!

    This is hands down the best Italian restaurant in Jacksonville fl! I have had the pleasure of eating at Enza's twice already. It would have been a 3rd time tonight but, Enza's is closed on Monday's. The owner of this establishment is a wonderful soul, that greets all of her customers; with a warm welcome. The Chicken Parmesan is my favorite. Even though, I have tried multiple dishes; not once have I been dissatisfied. See you soon Enza! Please save a seat for me...

    We arrived at Enza's @ 4pm without reservations, the hostess was kind enough to accommodate our party of 11. My family and I were from out of town and wanted a nice dinner together, Enza's did not disappoint. What a wonderful place! Cozy atmosphere, great food, wonderful service and totally awesome piano player that touched the heart of my 4yr old granddaughter and her mother. If you are in town give them a try for a wonderful dining experience. Thank you all for making our time special 💕

    Enza Italian in Jacksonville deserves every star! The service is as warm as their wood-fired pizza—friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. The live piano music adds the perfect touch, turning a meal into a delightful experience. Grazie, Enza, for bringing a taste of Italy with a side of hospitality to Jacksonville!

  • 5/5 Matthew T. 2 years ago on Google
    Looked for a good place with live piano music while enjoying dinner and Enza's didn't disappoint. Very friendly service, great romantic atmosphere, and outstanding Italian food!!! Spoke with the piano player as we were leaving, extremely nice gentleman. We let him know that he was why we originally came even though we didn't know him. But we'll be back (often) for the whole experience. He's there Thursday, Friday and Saturday night. Had the Frontier Old Fashioned, meatball ricotta appetizer and veal parmesan - all excellent! We loved the place - highly recommend!

    This was a pleasant experience! Walked in to white tablecloths and a piano playing. The servers were very friendly. Food was cooked good but I had to add way too much salt to my food for flavoring.
