My first time at Little Italy, and I was absolutely blown away. From the moment we walked in, Mario and everyone there made us feel like family. The food was beyond amazing — authentic, full of flavor, and made with so much love. It honestly felt like sitting at a real Italian family table, sharing a homemade meal surrounded by warmth and hospitality. You can tell this place is built from the heart. Thank you, Mario, for such an unforgettable experience. We will definitely be back! 🍝🇮🇹❤️

Tried the new location for the first time and it was great. Calamari app was tasty. The arancini app was awesome, perfectly crunchy on the outside and perfect inside. The osso bucco over risotto was delicious and plentiful. The mushroom ravioli special was great as well. Had the svogliatella was very tasty fresh and flaky exactly how it should be. First generation Italian and I am a picky eater especially when it comes to Italian food. Atmosphere is very nice. I hope people support and the place can become a fixture. Will be back to try other selections but so far so good!

I did not enjoy my meal the first time we went when they were on Beach Street. The food was bland, but I loved the atmosphere. We gave it another try at their new location, and was equally disappointed. I ordered the Chicken Picatta, and it was pretty bland, flavorless. I thought the service was good. Being married to a Sicilian and living in NY my whole life, I know what authentic Italian food is supposed to taste like, and theirs just doesn't cut it. Mario's is authentic Italian food, and every dish is great there.

My wife ate lunch there and I asked her to bring home a lasagna for me. It tasted ok. BUT, for $26 the portion was quite small. It was a dinner with NO salad and NO bread. I had another dish I was going to try. After this experience I won't bother.

Our first visit to Little Italy's Ristorante was wonderful. Our waiter Brian was super attentive and a pleasure. Mario came out to greet us and made us feel very welcome! The food was fantastic. The homemade meatballs are made fresh daily and were yummy. I got the Stromboli and my wife got the Cheese Calzone and both were amazing!
The Italian Margaritas were the best we have had! 🍹

Upscale atmosphere, Great place for craft drinks but if you are looking for authentic cuisine this will leave you dissatisfied. I had baked ziti my companion had penne vodka. The sauce was good, but the pasta was generic and ziti could have been baked more. Cheese was barely melted and portion size was kind of small.
Update: i'm adding and updating my review. We tried the new location on Atlantic Ave. And were blown away. Sometimes giving a place a second chance is a good idea. This time I had the chicken marsala, my companion had penne vodka and both were outstanding. Service incredible, prices reasonable for an upscale restaurant. I don't know if it's because of the new location, or some other change, but very delicious and enjoyable.

The food was delicious! We had the Burrata and the meatball appetizer, a house salad and the Pasta Bolognese. It was all great! Not to mention our waiter Brian was so nice and attentive and even made us laugh at the end! We will definitely be back!

My husband Tim and I had the absolute BEST experience today at Little Italy in Ormond Beach!

From the moment we walked in, it truly felt like we were stepping into a family dinner. The atmosphere is so warm and welcoming—it’s rare to find a place that makes you feel that comfortable right away.

The food? Incredible. Hands down the most authentic Italian food we’ve ever had, and every bite was packed with amazing flavor. And the Italian margaritas… WOW. Easily the best we’ve ever had!

Our waiter Brian was so attentive and kind—such a sweetheart and really made the experience even more special. The owner, Mario, came out to personally say hello, which meant so much. You can just tell how much he cares about his restaurant and his guests. And to top it off, chef G came out as we were leaving—what an amazing touch! That man is beyond talented.

This wasn’t just dinner—it felt like being welcomed into someone’s home and sharing a meal with family.

We will absolutely be back and highly recommend this gem to anyone looking for authentic Italian food and a truly special experience!

Had an amazing experience at Little Italy Ristorante! We stopped in around 9:30 PM looking for dessert to take home, and even though they were closing at 10, the staff was super accommodating and hooked us up with three pieces of tiramisu to go.
The tiramisu was absolutely incredible—light, fluffy, and full of flavor. We brought it over to our neighbor’s house and surprised her, and it paired perfectly with coffee. Such a great ending to the night.
Also have to mention the restaurant itself—beautiful inside, very clean, and classy atmosphere. Definitely looking forward to coming back again!
