To sum it up: Great view and setting, Very Average for everything else. Prices reasonable. We seemed to get lost in the cracks when it came to service and noticed a few tables that came in behind us get served their food before us. Just the act of ordering seemed unorganized and not systematic. This did seem like a mom & pop restaurant (& the name seems to suggest that) along with the pandemic might have handicapped this restaurants service but this is what we experienced and as first timers can not say if it’s the norm. We had breaded mushrooms for a starter and Alfredo chicken plus gluten free Bolognese as mains. On the tasty scale it was 2, 3 & 4 respectively. It has a lovely scenic waterfront seating on the intercostal along with cosy, warm inside seating.

Ordered two pizzas. We totally finished one before the second. I don’t ever do reviews but this was the worst pizza I have ever had. So bland. The pizza sauce had no flavor or the crust. Our waitress kept talking to the people at another table and another waiter that cleared our table finally brought our check. The waitress had the gall to say to us as we were leaving “ you’re still here”……

Stella makes beautiful and delicious food and they serve us their mouth-watering dishes at St Anthony's Hospital Cafeteria on Friday. Today I'm having Salmon with a gorgonzola cream sauce over fresh garlicky pasta and delicately cooked vegetables. Stella tops everything off with arugula, parmesan cheese, parsley and her smile. So much love in their food.

We stopped in on the spur of the moment Sunday evening. They were preparing to close and all invited us to come in, sit down and enjoy a pizza and a drink. We ordered a white cheese pizza with pepperoni, mushrooms and fresh garlic. It was so fresh and tasty, with a thin crust. It was quite possibly the best pizza I've ever had. Greg was our waiter and he was very welcoming and personable. The food arrived quickly and Greg was attentive. The evening was beautiful. We'll be back!

Greg was are waiter and he was badass! Great service, great recommendations, and great food. My only regret is not licking my plate

Like a lot of places, atmosphere is a large part of the experience here and this place is no exception. It's located by the water and had outdoor seating. We placed a to go order and it was ready in about 15min. The pizza was a thin crust with a slightly raised rim. It looked like it was thrown together quickly and toppings were added after it was cooked. The pizza was crispy and had a cracker taste. Not my favorite

My friends and I come here every year. We usually get their pizza, the gluten free pizza specifically, and it’s always good. We also get some other entrees and wine. Very friendly service and good conversation.

The staff was friendly, the food looked decent, we only had drinks. I am not a fan of the tourists and shoppers walking through and enjoying the nice view.... with the baby strollers and shopping bags. We were there early and on a weekday, on a busy Saturday I feel like it would be super hard for the servers. They DO have indoor seating!

A salad, two beers and an easy to cook entre took 1 hr 15 minutes. They were not busy when I ordered. Others sat down after me, were served , paid their bill and left before my entree was served - including pizzas and other entrees. Their house vinaigrette was straight balsamic vinegar (no spices, no oils, not aged, not blended. Straight up vinegar). Bread was served at the 45 minute mark ( after the salad, before the entree) $52 and you do not get value for your dollar.

This is Italian food at its best! Al and Stella’s is the real deal and a quiet gem of a place. The food was divine, the atmosphere relaxed and enjoyable and the service was exceptional. We would travel to Sand Key just to eat here again. Bravo!!!

Everything was great! Second time here on a vacation, definitely a favorite of ours. We will be back here again. Thank you Greg and family!

My husband got the Italian meat lovers pizza, and he said it was the best pizza he has had! I had the gnocchi Gorgonzola, it was seriously amazing. The best food I’ve had in a long time! Would definitely recommend! We sat out on the deck by the water, very cozy. Our waiter was so friendly, and took the time to chat with us, and was on top of the service!

We enjoyed dinner last night. Had the meatball for appetizer. We both had the specials the shrimp and veggie pasta was amazing! The porcini Ravioli was very good too. Then Tiramisu for desert. Best tiramisu I had in a long time. The waiters were very friendly and accommodating we wanted to take our time and enjoy our bottle of wine with dinner. Highly recommend this place.

Food is absolutely delicious. Service is so personable and fast. Drinks are perfect. Music is just what you want to hear at an Italian restaurant. WE LOVE IT!
