37 Best Italian Restaurants near Cocoa Beach

“My travel partner and I are staying at port Canaveral this evening. So we came here for a nice meal before our cruise tomorrow.
First off, we were warmly greeted and immediately seated. Our server immediately resolved an issue with the initial service table setting. The decor is electric, country style and clean. Very reminiscent of “the old country”.
We had questions about the menu, all of which were answered thoroughly and professionally.
We started off with a Caesar salad and a house salad both of which were exceptionally fresh with tasty dressing. They also brought some freshly baked bread and olive oil with herbs — and it was spectacular. Perfection.
For dinner, my dining partner had the blackened tilapia with scallops and fresh vegetables. The blackened seasoning was not overdone, and the tilapia was melted in your mouth good. The scallops were also good but not outstanding.
I had the pork chop with rice and vegetables. The rice was presented with peas and onion. The vegetables were freshly steamed. Now onto the pork cho! This pork chop was an 8 ounce cut. It quite simply is one of the best pork chops I’ve ever had in my life. The brown gravy was perfect spot on with hints of red wine and a ton of flavor. The gravy was not overly salted either and perfectly complemented the grilled flavor of the pork chop, which was no doubt brined in advance.
To sum up our visit, this is some of the best Italian style food I have ever had in Florida. Highly recommended!

“Just picked up my order, the shrimp Parmesan dinner, was just completely outstanding, the meatball Parmesan hero was out of this world, also had a pie a cheese pie that had so much cheese on it and I didn’t even ask for extra cheese, just fantastic.“

“We had Justin as our waiter, he was excellent! The food was also good quality. The environment was relaxing. I have never been treated with such respect by staff in such a location. Everyone is caring. Now, some constructive criticism would be for the protein within the meals. For example the shrimp scampi only has approx 4-5 small shrimps. Besides this, it was an excellent experience.

- on a side note, this location also has rather... Healthier meals as compared to other restaurants... Per se. Good day.“

“I came here tonight for dinner with my friend to celebrate my birthday. My two other girl friends actually surprised me with the help of the hostess.

Amazing service and amazing people. Highly recommend Genna's.“
