Even though my friends and I arrived about an hour before closing, Vinni and the entire staff welcomed us warmly and never made us feel rushed. The food was absolutely amazing, and the service was outstanding. Thank you, Vinni and team, for your hospitality! We truly appreciated it! 🍝🇮🇹

From the bottom of my heart, this is genuinely the most amazing meal my wife and I have ever had. The atmosphere is very authentic and the service was phenomenal. They opened the door for every customer that came in, we were greeted immediately and Ozzie did an amazing job and now we don’t want to eat anywhere else this trip! We ordered an appetizer, a beverage, two entrees, and THREE deserts. It all rang up to $104 before tip.

The service here was amazing I unfortunately don’t remember my servers name. But his service was excellent. And so was the food… OMG best calzone I’ve had in a long time, we barely had any leftovers! We all got cake/pie, and drinks. Everything was a 10/10

Honestly I was very excited to come here as the food looks good, and the reviews really sold me on to going with my girlfriend. I don’t know if it was the owner who was serving us but he was very disrespectful towards me. The food was nothing out of the ordinary, it was good but definitely I’ve had better. Service with us was slow but he was moving around with everyone else. We ordered dessert and the dessert we ordered had ran but without giving us the option to choose another he brought us 2 dessert we weren’t interested in and puts the plate infront of us. It was bad, maybe good for someone else it would be good but he didn’t give us a chance to look at the menu once more. And I quote he just told us to the dessert we didn’t ordered and I was charged for it. It felt like he was pressuring us to eat something we wouldn’t like. Than it came down to paying the bill he snatched my card out of my hand and tried to pay as fast as possible. It’s like we weren’t welcomed, it honestly felt like he wanted us out of there as fast as possible. As I was paying the bill he stood over me as I chose the tip. I felt pressured to pick a tip he didn’t deserve in the slightest. Will not be coming back.

Not sure how you get a 4.9 rating for a restaurant that serves mediocre food in a cafeteria environment. Saving grace was the server who took my lukewarm, undercooked fish back to the kitchen and off the check.

What an amazing dinner experience. Our server Vinny was awesome and the bartender Ozzy made the best Lychee Martini I’ve had in a really long long time. They made my 30th birthday so welcoming! The food was incredible, fresh delicious. Such a hidden gem ❤️
Best Italian food I’ve ever had. Vinny was the best. Ossie was the best bartender

Worst pizza and food in the Keys. I am not joking when I say this.
I gave them three chances, one when they first opened, and two more about 8 months after each experience.
They were consistently bad. They may be Italian but must be the worst cooks Italy has to offer.
If real pizza from Italy was both burnt on the crust and raw throughout (as they make it here), not sure how it EVER became popular throughout the world.
Pasta was dry and tasteless, salads underwhelming with minimal ingredients aside from lettuce.
Atmosphere is nothing to write home about with the view of a parking lot, service was poorest I have received in the Keys (no silverware until after food is served with asking server for utensils after food served), no drink order for over 10 minutes after seating, no check in from servers between orders and customer has to find server to ask for check (to get additional drink orders on the bill or even offer desert or desert menu-I mean do you want to upsell your customers or not?).
I have never been back since these three times and even though there has been one other restaurant in the Upper Keys that I have also not wanted to go back to, I had the desire to go back to try there food again.
The food and service here was consistently bad that I never had a desire to go back.
P.S. They will dismiss your review as “not understanding real Italian pizza”, or “you’re sure you went to the right place-we don’t have a record of your order”, or “your honest one star review really hurts our standings”.

Fantastic place, do your self a favor and eat here. I greatly enjoyed the burrata. The Parmesan and prosciutto that accompanied it brought flavor and salt to bring it to life. Fettuccine Allo Scarpariello was a simple pasta dish and yet amongst the best pasta I have ahead to date. Seeing plates go by to other tables I envied those with the appetite to tackle their Parmesan, veal, and lamb.

We were in the Keys and thought we must seek out seafood, clams specifically. However no restaurants had them. We went to what we thought we’d not want down here in the Keys because this Italian restaurant has clams, but holy macaroni!, this place is amazing. It’s night 2 and we’ve come back because the atmosphere, food and service are just superb. Felt like I was back in Italy. Food is sooo amazing. Cheese wheel. Pizza. All the things. The pasta is cooked so perfectly. I can’t believe out of all the restaurants down here this is what I’m looking forward to coming back to eat everyday! However, I’ll be back. I bring more people. I recommend you do yourself a favor and have a meal here, take a trip to Italy; you can thank me later.
