    Food here was good, I was a little disappointed that all seating was indoors and it was chilly. Though everything we had was good I won't be adding this to my go-to places when I'm in the keys. BTW, bread service for one crisp flatbread and 2 rolls, that were hard, is $4.

    Our waitress Stephanie was AMAZING. The food was amazing as well! Great overall experience we were just not impressed with the overly obnoxious bartender. Unfortunately we couldn't even hear our own conversation over her yelling across the restaurant. But again Stephanie was amazing and our food was perfect!

    Bartender is the rudest most obnoxious I've ever encountered. This otherwise perfect restaurant has a weak link, and that is the bartender. Nicole was an awesome pleasantly attentive waitress, and the food was superb. Just one mans opinion.

    We had a great experience overall. The food was delicious and unique. The linguine was made in house and fresh. I would definitely recommend the special meatballs with linguine. I thought the seafood linguine was okay but my husband loved it (dominant seafood flavors & not as much cream/Parmesan in the sauce per my taste). The lasagna was very meaty and savory, reminded me of a Shepard’s pie spin on lasagna. Escargot was the best I’ve had. The atmosphere and service were great. The house wines were also really good (moscato, merlot, Chianti we’re nice). I’d recommend!

    An upscale Italian restaurant. The food here was a bit expensive, but well worth the cost. The restaurant is very atmospheric with dim lighting and candles, a bar with excellent wine selections, and friendly servers. Everything was cooked to perfection, and absolutely delicious. If you're not afraid of a small pain in the wallet, this is definitely a great place to grab dinner and one of their lovely desserts.

    This is a good reliable Italian spot in the heart of Duval street. We enjoyed the Caesar salad and the mains, and they were very kind to make Chicken Parm for my son after I noted that they had a veal chop parm and a chicken Milanese on the menu. The bolognese was good and the grouper + gnocchi special was as well (but not great). Their key lime pie dessert was excellent!! I’d recommend this place if you’re looking for a reliable unpretentious Italian spot in Key West.

    As a person living in Switzerland that was in Italy several times I can approve that the taste is definitely authentic. The service was perfect timing and really attentive. You guys definitely managed to bring a part of Italy to the Key’s!

    Went to this restaurant with my family to have a pleasant night. Unfortunately the waitress indicated that we need to calm down our kids because people paid expensive for the food they provide. I decided to go and pay for just the bottle of water we had asked for. My kids are one and three years old… Absolutely not worthy at all… We typically visit good and high end restaurants and have NEVER BEEN TREATED THIS WAY.

    We had a nice dinner on Monday. The place was hopping for the day of week and given that it is off season. The calamari we shared to start was good, though the star of the plate was the bread soaked in the garlic and sauce. The veal scaloppini seemed better than the other mains - seafood soup and osso bucco. The brownie for dessert was salty, sweet, warm, and cold.

    This restaurant from online and outside looks absolutely gorgeous. However, if you're sober or a couple who doesn't drink with meals, expect your service to be less than. Our server asked if we were having any wine or cocktails, and we respectfully said no. Then watched the tables surrounding were treated slightly differently. The bread is on the menu as in you purchase it, so be sure to understand it comes with just oil. We did know and would've liked butter with ours as well since other tables received butter with theirs aside from just the oil. The caesar salads are covered with anchovies which I don't mind, however my wife does so if you don't like anchovies save yourself the money and order a different salad or an appetizer the dressing itself is very heavy in fish flavor. I ordered the special which was tuna steak and was shocked that it was more medium than rare, which I didn't like too much since the more cooked it is the more similar it is to a can of tuna. My wife got a pasta dish and asked to add grilled chicken, and they did beautifully. At the end of our meal, we had their coffee, and that was delicious. But decided to get dessert somewhere else on duval street. The inside has an ambiance for romantic type of dinner. Glad we went, don't think we'll go back however there wasn't anything that had a wow factor.

    We went to to this restaurant based on popularity, reviews, and the fact it was recommended by many. My review is purely to acknowledge service and Devon was great with us! Thank you Devon! Service was friendly, timely, and on point! This goes for all members that serviced the table and cleaned. The food and concept is mixed and confused. It’s labeled as Italian, but has some French, and local items. Osso Buco was bland. Seafood Linguine was made with frozen seafood. Bread Service includes 2 buns and 2 long chips. Escargot was cooked in a butter sauce that wasn’t very appealing to the eye.

    Our food was wonderful. We shared an appetizer of baked snails, cooked perfectly great taste of garlic and oil. I had a macaroni dish that was cooked to perfection. The seasoned just right. In all it was a great experience.

    The rain stopped just as we arrived and were seated by the water. Our server was the happiest woman we ever met! The food was very good and the chocolate cake was the best I've ever had, not super sweet. Love the tiki hut!

  • 5/5 Lexie L. 1 year ago on Google
    This restaurant is truly a hidden gem of Key West! The food was incredible and all made in house. Our server Devon was the best server we’ve ever had! Definitely will be coming back every time I’m in town.

  • 5/5 Theresa J. G. 1 year ago on Google
    So much I could say but I’ll keep it short and sweet. The staff were amazing! If we were not told they were a little understaffed with servers, we would not have known it. The owner was hands on and his passion for his restaurant and the food was evident. The food was amazing! I had the filet with a peppercorn brandy reduction sauce and the flavors were amazing. Hands down the best steak I have ever had out. The seafood was fresh and equally as tasty. This place is a must if you are in Key West!

    10/10 would eat here again. The food here is clearly made by skilled and meticulous people. After a string of disappointing meals at other restaurants, it was so nice to eat well-made, fresh food. We had an eggplant mozzarella cold app, green salads, a scallop and shrimp gnocchi special, fettuccine bolognese, key lime pie, coconut cream pie, and decaf espressos. That gnocchi special really was special, just superbly made and a delight to eat, with wonderful flavors and textures. Thanks to our server for the recommendations.

  • 3/5 Trey's E. 1 year ago on Google
    The calamari was mostly rings no big deal, but the sauce was bland. The escargot were served on bread not the traditional ceramic dish. They were standard fare other than that. The bolognese was served just over cold. It was sent back and delivered slightly over warm. The veal scallopini was excellent the sauce was off the chart good The shrimp Diavolo which was an off the menu item was good, but the red sauce was very bland. The fettuccine Alfredo was good. The homemade pasta was aldenté as it was supposed to be. No coke products.

  • 5/5 Ethan Y. 2 years ago on Google
    Great food, I had a grouper gnocchi special that was phenomenal. Just outstanding fish preparation, gnocchi were good. Escargot was also exceptional, like as good as you get in France good. Fettuccine di Parma was very good too. Had a lovely espresso to finish the meal.

  • 5/5 Kristen W. 2 years ago on Google
    The dinner we had here was fantastic. The pasta tasted so good, they’ve clearly perfected the flavors! I was very happy with the service, and would certainly eat here again. Highly recommended.

    Th ambience is second only to the fabulous food. My son went with a buckwheat crepe filled with vegetables and topped with an egg. I had a traditional crepe filled with fresh fruit and a side of potatoes. The food was delicious and very fresh. We will definitely eat there again

    This is one of my favorite places to eat in Key West. A friend of ours is a local snd a regular here. We went when we were in town this past week. It was our second time going, and it didn’t disappoint. Both of us got the grouper over gnocchi that was a special item— not on the written menu. It was one of the best meals I’ve ever had. They had a very good key lime pie dessert too, which was as much about the crust. As about the filling, which was a nice change of pace. Delicious all the way around.
