“Amazing Gluten Free Pizza! Thankful for a Celiac Safe lunch. A must try wood-fired pizza ( and the chocolate tart was also really good).“

“We had a wonderful evening at Antonia's in Key West. To start, we shared the imported burrata appetizer, which was creamy and delicious. For mains, the Lamb Osso Buco was rich and flavorful, and the Grouper was fresh and perfectly prepared. We finished with the classic Key Lime Pie — while the filling was tangy and refreshing, the graham cracker crust was a bit heavy and overpowered the pie. The service was excellent and the staff was super friendly! Overall, a great dining experience with thoughtful dishes and a warm atmosphere.“

“OUTSTANDING!! OUTSTANDING!! OUTSTANDING!! Only way to describe my recent experience at Chef Richie’s Lola’s Bistro. Incredible dinner with amazing sauces. Everything was great from start to finish. Will definitely eat here again. Two seatings 6:00 & 8:00. It’s BYOB. Best meal I’ve had in a long time. This place is a home run. Make sure to call ahead for reservations.“

“Usually, I go to Salutes at night. However last Friday myself and a good friend met for an afternoon lunch. I have to tell you from the moment we were seated and our server introduced herself the luncheon was spectacular. Mary Jo was so bubbly, excited and energetic that it changed the whole dining experience. She made the lunch fun and all about us. Apparently, Mary Jo works Monday -Friday and that's why I never ran into her before. Make sure you visit and look for her. Barbara Bosco Crespo“

“This place was amazing and will not disappoint. The food was absolutely delicious and the restaurant itself was clean with a great atmosphere. The secret to this wonderful place was the owner/waiter. Immediately you could tell her cares about his customers and wanted everyone to enjoy and be comfortable. Very caring and respectful individual who took his time to get to know each of us and make suggestions about wine, food, and local attractions. 100% recommend“

“A great pizza place we just happened upon when grabbing something from the grocery store. We are lovers of pizza and had tried other places, but this one was definitely the best! Awesome crust, great variety of pizza types and even gluten free for my husband. I tried the Greek, my husband the white pizza with chicken. So glad we came across here!“
