10 Best Italian Restaurants near Fort Walton Beach

“We had an absolute blast! The food was awesome! Great portions, great taste, even better waiter!!“

“The garlic dipping oil is amazing. We took some home and put it on sandwiches and in a crab omelet. We have been talking about it for days. The lasagna is remarkable and the ribeye steak I ordered was enough for three meals. Cooked perfectly medium rare. Friends had the lobster ravioli and shrimp with vodka sauce which was good. Calamari was outstanding, very tender. Our waitress was Lauren L., very professional and pleasant. We will definitely go back there again next year when we visit.“

“Food was excellent and our server Ashlee was amazing. Atmosphere is warm and inviting. We felt like familia.“

“We always have an amazing I ng experience at Olive Garden but Our Server Mike was an amazing & very personable server. He even included our 9 year old dinner guest in all conversations as well & that is where he scored points with me. Too many servers in the Food Industry treat children like they done have minds or thoughts or opinions of their own about their food orders & Mike treated Our Little Lady like the Little Lady she is & we appreciated that so very much. Not only is the food good but the Service is just as amazing Thank you“

“There were 13 of us from the Kennel Club eating tonight 8/20/2025. The food was great and our waitress was the best waitress I have ever experienced. She was so polite and attentive to our needs and wants. She knew who the food went to when our order was served, for 13 people! This is my new favorite restaurant. I would love to know this waitress’s name and we want to request her every time we come. The food and people are out of this world! Great job everyone!“
