“Best place out here. From someone that was born and raised in NYC. This is as close as you will get to New York pizza. Something was forgotten on the ordered they delivered to us right away. Top notch service as usual. God Bless youse guys!!!“

“The marinara sauce is absolutely THE BEST sauce I've ever had! Seriously. It's mouth watering. It's addicting. Yum. We've also had their pizza and eggplant parmesan -- also delicious! ? We will definitely come back again and again!!“

“My family has eaten here (and their PVB location) dozens of times over the last 6 years. Food and service has always been exceptional. I have truly enjoyed their eggplant dishes. Early bird specials are a great deal, however prices have started to rise dramatically over the past few years, and portion sizes seem to be diminishing - as with many restaurants.“

“Such a nice little place that's clearly popular, so come early or make sure you have a reservation! Popped in for a light meal and we're definitely coming back for more. Chris and the staff are attentive and service is generally quite prompt for whatever you order. Can be a bit busy for date night, but is still a great place to dine alone or in groups.“

“Went for dinner tonight & was pleasantly surprised. I had the olive oil & garlic pasta with shrimp. If you love garlic, you will LOVE this dish! I got to try the bruschetta & it was so good! Service was excellent as well. Can't wait to go back & try the lobster tail pastry puff.“

“The food was amazing. Jeff our waiter was so sweet and attentive. Will the manager also checked on us several times and the food he prepared has been the best so far we've been coming to this location for over 15 years. Tonight was special very great atmosphere and food. Will definitely made us feel special we usually get to go but this make me want to dine in more often.“

“Excellent food. The shrimp and grits momentarily stopped time. My gluten free pizzas are amazing every time. This place fills up fast and they don’t take online reservations. Call 24+ hours in advance if you canSaint Louis style shrimp and grits? Idk but yumDietary restrictions: They have delicious gluten free crust. Shrimp and grits are gf as well.“

“We love Vito's! It's my daughter's absolute favorite restaurant. Franco makes every visit super special. The food is delicious (the kids love the pizza) and I highly recommend anything off of the seasonal/special menu. If you have a chance to try the pasta funghi (if it's on the menu when you visit), I can't say enough good things about it...so good!“

“We went in for lunch today, everything was excellent. We’ve ordered and picked up before but never ate in restaurant. My husband had garlic knots, he loved them. We split a small cheese pizza (I’m from Long Island NY - that’s how you know a great Pizza) which was excellent! We will return for sure!“

“Glad we stopped in here. Visited for the first time Saturday night and had a great experience. Reese was our waiter and we couldn't have asked for a better one.Very good at communicating with us throughout the night and was knowledgeable when it came to wine. Seems to really care about making the customers have a good experience.I would definitely recommend this restaurant to friends.Thank you !“

“We had an awesome first experience here! I’ve heard rave reviews I just never pulled the trigger. We went for our first wedding anniversary and the food and service was spectacular. They even served us ginger ale in champagne flutes with cannolis to celebrate. Definitely will be back.“

“I ordered from this restaurant for delivery and this was my first time. I would just like to say the food was excellent. It was very authentic Italian. You could tell it was homemade fresh to order. I have found my Italian rest. Do yourself a favor and try them. You will be very pleased.“

“Our server was Grace. She had a very pleasant attitude and gave great selections on entrees we usually don’t have. She also upsold us on the $10 take home entree, which was a great deal. Price point, food and service was great. Thanks Grace!“

“Dr. Courtney Whiting is the best that I have ever had. There is no doubt in my mind she cares about my girl. She always does what’s best for her even getting down on the floor with her to make her feel at ease. Holly has always been wonderful to as a nurse. I am 100% confident in their care for Izzy. I consider Dr Whiting Family as she takes care of what’s most important to me and does it with love, compassion, wisdom, and passion. I am so grateful to her. I would never allow anyone else to care for my Izzy except her.“

“This was our 1st time here. The food was amazing the bartenders both were awesome. Will definitely be back we had appetizers a Caesar salad, homemade garlic, bread and pizza. We had to try more because everything was delicious so we added on lasagna and had a cannoli for dessert. Everything was spectacular. The drinks were on point & the place is super clean. Loved the place so much thank you for a great night. My fiancé recently had a stroke about 7 mths ago & we don’t go out often this is his new favorite place he felt normal again & it was so close to home. Everyone was so nice ❤️ Thank you Trattoria Di Bernard“

“We are a family that has multiple food allergies and love that we can safely eat here! The staff go above and beyond to be extra careful for customers with allergies. Tyler and Ty, I owe you a big shout out for taking care of our orders during my daughter’s birthday lunch last week. You guys made the experience extra special! Great fresh food, great service!“

“Our first experience was last night. I don’t know why we haven’t been here years ago. It’s very comfortable inside with a medium size bar area, booths, and tables. We had excellent service and the food was very fresh and delicious. I’m a pizza snob . Their pie had a tasty sauce . Not too sweet and fresh mozzarella. The house salad was great with their creamy Italian dressing. I only wish it was a larger portion because I could eat that every day.“

“Was so disappointed pizza was made wrong twice,sauce on side was turned& pineapple piece's were also turned sour. But other trip's were awesome friendly manager& helpful worker's. Order was delivered fast. & Close to my apartment.“

“I know it's in a strip mall but I'm telling you this is one of the best Italian restaurants in Jacksonville, we stopped in once for their lunch buffet and was blown away by their food quality, not your typical cheap cruise ship foods, it was so good we decided to go back for dinner a few days later, just superb food, really home cooked with individual dishes and sauces, not 1 marinara sauce spread out over 10 differnt dishes, everything is unique in flavor.. I digress, this place is awesome, highly recommend. Oh and I should add the service is always exceptional, the wait staff really take such good care of you!“

“It's always nice to support good people and you can support this food truck knowing it's owned and run wonderful people. Seek them out, enjoy the food and feel good knowing you're supporting good people and a locally owned businessVegetarian options: Gluten free!!“

“I loved the place, the exquisite, delicious food, the presentation, the family atmosphere, the employees who were very friendly and helpful from the moment you entered, the manager attentive to every detail, we fell in love with the place. It's a pleasure to go and enjoy the food and all that they offer you fresh and varied food, a very good alternative.Kid-friendliness: Children's menu“

“We dine in here often, but chose delivery for tonight’s purchase. Had to contact the store to add on a forgotten request and Jonas was the most outstanding professional customer friendly service person that we have ever spoken with at this location. His outgoing personality truly made us get excited about the delivery we were expecting to receive. He is definitely an asset to this company and the perfect person to handle these calls! Thanks Jonas! We appreciate your hard work and dedication to your job. It is truly hard and extremely rare to find support staff that you can tell really does care about the customer and their experience. Thanks again for being an example of excellence and another Awesome Carrabba’s experience!“

“We went for a late weekday lunch. We generally have a good experience at this location the weak spot this time was our server, not attentive and not very energetic. Maybe he was new but he acted as if we was in no hurry. Our orders came out correctly and were very good. I was happy the kitchen did not skimp on the shrimp. The payment kiosk on our table did not work. We waited for Slow Moe but he was nowhere to be found. Fortunately the manager stopped by and checked us out, plus brought out our forgotten Andes mints. Overall we had a good visit and will surely return.“

“I would rate this place: 5/5 decor 5/5 cocktails 3/5 food It has potential but it is at a very strange location: a random strip mall behind Bally's Fitness in Southside. You won't see it off the main road. You see the valet parking sign but there's no need for valet when there's an entire empty parking lot at a strip mall where most of the stores are closed. It would be better suited in Downtown Jacksonville riverfront to revamp our downtown area or San Marco/Riverside area. It is a beautiful space that you would see in Miami including the prices. Tip: dress to impress in a classy way or to a buisness meeting. Don't show up in jeans, Tshirt and sneakers.“

“Lunch was good. Meatball sub with drink and spaghetti with meat sauce were both tasty enough. Service was excellent and the atmosphere was pleasant enough. All in all, it was enjoyable.Parking: Parking lot is small and is shared with other establishments. Had to park across the street today.“

“We love this little pizza place. People are sweet, caring and just down right friendly. We have been coming here now for about 6 years. Food is good and pizza is best. Not greasy, not dripping with oil just yum. You wont have a bad experience, it's not a fancy place, but it's simple and fast. The girls all know us, tell them we sent you. EnjoyStephanie, Noah, john and Jordan.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free“

“OMG! Front walking in to finish was awesome! I called in my order for a calzone with extra extra cheese! When I arrived pretty early for my order. I waited for about 15 mins, I was offered a complimentary drink. I already had my water and went back to my car. Not long after my order was being brought to me and it was absolutely delicious!!! Thank you and I will be back!“

“We visited V Pizza in Fleming island and I have to say that the service was AMAZING! Our bartender Bobby recommended the Cryin Hawaiian wings and they were phenomenal! He even gave us a taste of the Stromboli. He offered us the perfect beer to match my craving! Come in to this hidden gem and make sure to see Bobby at the bar! He loves selfies!“

“It was a rough and busy day, and just wanted to end the day with a good meal. We met Harley (our server ) and immediately our mood was lifted. She has such a welcoming smile and personality. She was very attentive. I enjoy a glass of wine with dinner and was pleasantly surprised Harley asked if I’d like a water as well. That’s a first for me and I appreciated the attention to detail. She truly made us feel like we were her only table. We’ll certainly be back! Great job on hiring this one!Sincerely,Riesling goes with Ziti“

“I got my food Door Dashed it was speedy, hot and wonderful. I had the chicken noodle soup and bread and fries. The soup was so full of veggies and noodles not just soup that you’re searching around for your noodles. I loved it all. Thanks! give them a try. Next time im getting … oh gosh idk because the menu is vast. Yummy!“

“5 stars & 5 ?????Do yourself a favor & stop in for a slice or 12! Good vibes and all our welcome! We cannot say enough wonderful things about Renna’s and their staff! Keep up the great work, thank you for making great pizza! #fivestars #fiveslices #notchordinarypizza #nomnomjax #eatthisnow“

“Enjoyed an exceptional dining experience at Rosalia's Italian Restaurant and Pizzeria. Savored one of my preferred specials, mushroom ravioli, while my other half had the delectable flounder stuffed with crab meat. The sauces were utterly delicious, as always and the espresso martini exceeded expectations.“

“This is not the first time I’ve been here, nor will it be my last. Every item on the menu has been exceptional to include the drink selection and specials. The only thing that would top that is the service! Servers are fantastic! Lesley was our server and she was very attentive and made great suggestions. Best Italian food I’ve had in Florida! Definitely worth the drive! Recommend the calabrese, the garlic shrimp and all the specials!“

“I've ordered a calzone 3 times in the last 2 weeks . I had some teeth extraction so can't chew as normal figured I'd eat the inside cheese but the dough is so soft and airy. The cheese is so delicious and juicy. Definitely need to try more when I can.“

“The restaurant was alittle too chilly for me but the food was good and service was good. I was going to order the spaghetti with gluten free noodles but was told they needed 30-45 minutes to prepare. I opted for the club sandwich on GF bread. It was very tasty.“

“My husband and I saw this place on a Jacksonville IG account, we decided to try to on PI day....WOW WE ARE BLOWN AWAY! the customer service and pizza did NOT DISSAPOINT!!! it was absolutely delicious we are from NY and very picky, but this was A1 so glad we got to try this, and will definitely be back!!!“

“I found a gem! Tucked away in a little strip mall off Blanding is a place called Sorbellos Authentic Sicillian...Basically, I went there just to get a pizza to go but took Sarah up on Her wine suggestion. Both the pizza and wine were delicious, but the conversation I had with Sara was priceless. I went there on a Saturday afternoon, and there really weren't too many people there, so I was taken care of right away. I realize that by writing this review, there will probably be more people there on my next visit, but, to me, it will be well worth a little longer wait to try some more of Sara's cooking. ThankYou Sara for the food, the wine, and especially the conversation!“

“The fettuccini chicken Alfredo dinner was excellent and the deluxe calzone was great this evening. You've got to try the Cesar dressing for the garden salad. The food is always very good but I'm mainly writing to say that the manager showed such care and concern for my wife who was feeling a bit of stomach upset when we first arrived, probably because she hadn't eaten in a long time. He quickly offered several items and she settled on some plain flat bread, which were given to her immediately. It helped so much to get something in her stomach. How kind and caring. Just had to let folks know!“

“I wanted to try a new pizza place and I came across Vivo’s pizza and grill restaurant. My family and I loved their pizza. It taste so delicious. They kept it nice and warm until I arrived to pick it. The owner is a nice pleasant guy. Go visit you would love it! ?“

“My husband recently surprised me with a reservation at Prati for a birthday dinner with my best friends. The staff worked closely with him to ensure the surprise went smoothly, and treated us like gold. Every experience my husband and I have had at Prati has been positive, and this time exceeded expectations. From the genuine kindness of the staff to the always incredible food (plus special birthday dessert), this was a magical night I will always cherish. Thank you to everyone at Prati!“

“I ordered pizza here for a get together and our order was taken on accident by the delivery company. They were so quick and communicative. I knew what was going on and they just had amazing customer service and professionalism. Plus the food is AMAZINGwe had 0 leftovers but full and happy bellies!“

“I just downloaded the app and placed my first order, once I got the place I was attended by a very young lady, her name is Sara or Sarah, she is one of the kindest human in the world, one of a kind to be honest. When I got in my car I noticed that I placed everything wrong, I supposed to order half of the pizza only with cheese for my daughter. I went back and explained my mistake and asked for a new pizza assuming my mistake and of course to pay for it. This young lady gave it to me for free just because of my daughter and it meant a lot! Whoever is her boss please help her grow and don't let her go. If this review is read by her parents feel proud of what she is and how nice she is. We need more people like this in this world.“
