17 Best Italian Restaurants in Key West

“Due to the weather, I found myself spending another night in Key West. I came across this quaint restaurant near my hotel. Francesca the owner is so sweet and friendly. Mario behind the bar was just great. He really knows the drinks and the food. I had the cream of zucchini soup. It was delicious large portion and great flavor. Two ladies at the bar shared their antipasto tray with me. Enjoyed both the tray and the ladies who shared it. I will definitely make this my first stop the next time I’m in Key West.“

“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.“

“Great food and drinks-Enjoy.“

“Food was great. Service was great. Even got free app. Why not 5 stars? We were a party of 3 and the bill had an auto gratuity added. Waiter didn't say anything at the time. And the credit card slip to sign didn't say there was a gratuity also added. So I felt like most people would double tip. Waiter should have said he was doing auto gratuity and the credit card slip to sigh should also say “add additional tip” not “add tip”.“

“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!“
