6 Best Italian Restaurants near Islamorada

“Food is so authentic and delicious! Service is excellent! I would definitely try this restaurant if you are in the area!“

“Incredible meal today! Gourmet food with a casual price and atmosphere. Many local brews on tap. We started with the fish dip that came with homemade rosemary crostinis which were the perfect ratio of crunch to soft bread. We had spicy fish tacos, which is actually wrapped like a burrito. Fish blackened perfectly, amazing flavor. I asked if they had a spicy dipping sauce for it and they made a sriracha ranch for me. Also had the grouper reuben which was also amazing. Large portions. Fun arcade games to play also!“

“After 6 days at Cheeca Lodge ate at Mia Cucina our last night. Wish we had done it sooner. The homemade pasta was superb, as was the laid back atmosphere. Our server Gary was simply the best server we had in the keys period - and a great representative of the “Cheeca way”.“

“On our 2nd visit to Island Grill, we had the spicy salmon bowl, and mahi tacos. They were both good with nice flavor combinations and ingredients. The reason this place doesn’t get 5 stars, from us, is their special menu that they have around happy hour time. We had come a couple days earlier, excited to try their tuna nachos (which we saw on like 10 other menus throughout the trip, so although theirs are the original, it’s not the only place to order them). Only to find a special happy hour menu that was confusing and charged $15 extra for us to share the nachos. Seriously? It was just two of us and we should be able to choose how we eat. A $15 surcharge is ridiculous. I think that was my first time walking out of a restaurant. We didn’t even order because I didn’t feel like they deserved our money. The only reason we ended up back there another time was because friends brought us and really wanted to go. Atmosphere is important for us and the surcharge for sharing food with my husband did not feel like a welcoming or casual atmosphere.“

“We went at 9 PM and were able to get one of the best Greek salads I’ve ever had with a perfect cheese pizza followed by a house made Tiramisu…… washed down with an ice cold Miller light ……. friendly service, great food and a great local atmosphere with boats docked right outside……“

“We have an Italian exchange student with us this school year. She is from Milan. We came to the Keys for spring break. This was the ONLY place she said was real Italian pizza. She said if she closed her eyes while eating it, she would think she was back home. And we have taken her to many pizza places. The pizza was amazing. Can you delivery to Michigan?“
