    Highly recommend this "off the beaten path" spot in KW. We loved it so much that we came here a few times on our trip. The Key Lime Martini is amazing, any/all pasta dishes are a hit. You MUST get the fried mozzarella appetizer, you'll see 😁.

    A perfect spot for an intimate date night. Amazing service with such friendly and polite staff, very attentive. The pasta has that home cooked flavor. We’ve had better but still tasty. The calamari was slightly rubbery. We left full and happy.

    My husband and I have eaten here a few times and really enjoy the service and food. The menu is delightful and the prices are Key West normal, higher than mainlanders are used to. Menu is a la carte, for example a basket of bread is $4.50. I enjoyed the spaghetti and meatballs and my husband had the spaghetti and Italian sausage. They offer gluten free pasta perfectly cooked, but there is an extra charge ($3.50) for people like me who can’t tolerate wheat or gluten :(. The meatballs were plentiful and delicious. I recommend request seating in the main dining room. We were seated in the small room off the front entrance, which is intimate and pleasant until we were joined by a very loud patron whose voice filled the room. Charming, delicious, generous, with loyal clientele. A very pleasant stop during our Key West visit. If you like this review, please click on the Helpful button.

    Loved, loved, loved the authentic Italian cuisine at this restaurant, a bit off the beaten path in Key West. Friendly, attentive staff. The food was delicious with very large portions. We had fresh bread with olive oil, balsamic, & ground pepper, chicken parm, veal parm, & fresh caught black grouper. Probably could've shared a single entree between 2 adults. The art & ambiance were very nice, too, & it wasn't as crowded as many places in the super busy areas of the island. Good wine & cocktail selection. Everything was so fresh! Prices were great for island dining. Would definitely recommend!

    It's definitely a good Italian restaurant. Nice wine selection and great portions. Will definitely be a returning customer on my next keywest vacation

    Everything was great, but the drink prices were outrageous. I had 3 double scotches. $60 for 3 double shots. It was actually a little more, but I rounded down. Honestly, I didn't feel like they were truly doubles, like they were holding back a bit. I would eat there again, but I'll skip the alcohol next time. Lousy value for drinks.

    Wow! Sums up what I can say. We found this restaurant because it was close to our hotel but literally we are just blown away. This is probably the best Italian food me and my husband have ever had. We ordered the mussels and the whole roasted garlic for an appetizer. Amazing. For dinner we split the chicken Milanese and the special of the night a spaghetti carbonara. Is was literally out of this world. I can’t believe this place wasn’t jammed packed. It was full but comfortable enough that we didn’t have to wait for a table. The service was excellent and the drinks were perfect, they have specific glasses for red or white wine which does make a difference and is so refreshing to dine like that in key west when you are used to getting drinks in plastic! This is 100% our best find restaurant in key west and will now make sure we come back anytime we are visiting. Seriously we are still talking about how good the food was. 10 out of 10!

    We came for dinner, and left very happy. Our server Carlos was friendly, and took very good care of us. The seating was incredibly comfy, the music was fantastic, and this place has a vibe that we needed after a long day or in the sun. Husband loved the calamari appetizer, and my chicken parmesan was great. Bathroom was very clean. This is a cozy spot that is 100% inside, no chickens running around by your feet.

    3 out of 4 diners thought food was good. First trip there in 4 years, salad which used to come with meal was now $8.95 additional charge. Restaurant had nice decor and a comfortable feel. Staff was friendly but didn't check back often.

    We wandered into this amazing Italian restaurant on a lark and it reminded me why Italian food is so good. Caprese salad is always a treat on a hot day as an appetizer. I ordered the spinach and ricotta stuffed manicotti and it was savory, not too heavy, and delicious! Try the key lime martini.

    This is a solid choice for an Italian dinner in Key West. There are many choices on the menu and we received great service. I wouldn't say it was the best Italian food I've ever had but it was good. The chicken parm was particularly good.

  • 3/5 Alexis R. 1 year ago on Google
    About one week age I stopped in for dinner. I had shrimp scampi with garlic bread. The bread was delicious but I never ate shrimp scampi with so much Oregeno in it. I was picking hard pieces of that spice out of my mouth. I didn't care for it.

    Loved this little Italian restaurant we found on our last night in town Dec 5th. Kudos to the staff . Loved chatting with young lady who waited on us and also attended the bar. Such a delight to chat with and very attentive. Would highly recommend.

  • 2/5 Def S. 1 year ago on Google
    Wish I could give 2.5 ! There was no wait and the staff was friendly. When we started reviewing places and when we started doing this we said we would be honest. The food looked great in the pictures we saw online! We ordered the Spaghetti Polpette (spaghetti and meatballs) and Vongole Bianco (Linguine w clams in white sauce). The food also looked great as it arrived to the table. Maybe it's because we're from NJ but the food didn't have a normal Italian flavor even in the mediocre sense. The staff was short because it seemed like the bartender was also double duty as the server. With that being said Coco did a nice job and was very polite. Even gave us a suggestion for something to do while on vacation! Thanks Coco !

    Staff is super friendly. The inside is adorable with throw pillows and booths. The bruschetta was a little different than I’m used to but it was still good! Prices found online are much cheaper than the actual price but worth the stop in!

  • 5/5 Susan G. 1 year ago on Google
    So good we went two nights in a row. Charming, thoughtful decor. The staff are amazing and inviting. The food... well we had appetizers, entrees and desserts two nights in a row. The menu had the usual selections you would hope for and some personal daily specials from the kitchen.
