“The most amazing Italian restaurant ever. The food is absolutely amazing. Family owned and they make you feel like part of their family. Could not recommend a better place.“

“Mark and Rose are terrific as server and helper team . Food is delicious and plentiful . The most tender fried calamari I've ever had , it just melts in your mouth and stays crunchy. Glad to have a good goto Italian restaurant in the neighborhood.“

“My son and I had lunch at Mister and it was extraordinary. We started with the Greta salad: the lettuce was fresh and the cucumbers, olives, and cheese were amazing. the dressing was flavorful and it was light and fresh. The margherita pizza was awesome. The crust was extremely crispy and thin and the cheese was perfect too. The basil and tomato sauce finished off the flavor to make this a positive experience. We had the Nutella Pizza and it was the most amazing treat; nutella and an excellent crust that we have never tasted before! Just awesome; We can't wait to return again to experiment a different pizza! return soon.“

“4 of us had dinner at Belle and Maxeell’s Saturday night, May 28, 2022. This was our 2nd visit. It won’t be our last. As before, the food was extraordinary. Unfortunately, as so many restaurants, right now, they were severely short handed however, we truly never noticed. The servers took exceptional care of us. Topping off our meal was THE BEST RICOTTA CHEESECAKE we’ve ever eaten. Thank you Belle and Maxwell's for making my Birthday special.“

“We couldn’t have been more thrilled with Rollatini Catering for our wedding! From start to finish, Victor and his team went above and beyond. They made the entire process—from the tasting to the big day—seamless and stress-free. Their kindness, attentiveness, and fun-loving attitude made us feel truly taken care of. The food was absolutely delicious, and the drinks were fantastic all night long. What really stood out to us was how accommodating and responsive they were. They listened to every detail and were always eager to make sure everything was exactly what we envisioned. The staff even left us a surprise memory: a fun group photo from the 360 photo booth that we’ll cherish forever. It really showed the spirit and dedication of their team. Rollatini Catering is top-notch, and we felt truly spoiled by their incredible service. If you’re looking for a caterer who provides both exceptional food and outstanding service, look no further!“

“. I have tried many Italian restaurants in the area and Mattiello’s is the best by far. His is authentic Italian dining He is set up in a food truck on Federal with outdoor seating or takeout. The best lasagna ever!“

“Delicious excellent service“

“The ceiling was dripping on us the entire evening..I asked servers many times .. all they did was twice came over with something to wipe off the a/c outlet.. I will hesitate to revisit this restaurant, seriously they cannot control the condensation“

“I love pizza 🍕 and I think I have found one of my favorite places in this area. Antonacci gives a very homey vibe, it’s a small restaurant and the decorations are cute. The servers are nice and attentive. The owners are very welcoming and always have a smile on their faces.

They also have live music which is nice.

Now the food, we ordered the Emilia and my friend ordered pimiento. Both pizzas were freshly made and had a nice crunch. My favorite was the Emilia, the truffle oil and the prosciutto was just chef kiss.
Pimiento was good but I’m not a fan of fig so I’m bias. Overall great pizza and great ambiance 10/10.“

“Nice local Florida chain that makes limited pasta dishes and wood fired pizza place. Daily specials. Plenty of outdoor seating, very limited indoor seating. No prices on the wine either bottles or glasses. Service was efficient. The food was good, with a very nice fresh salad and a well cooked wood fired pizza that wasn’t over sauced. We would go back to this location if the weather is conducive to eating Al fresco.“

“Great service and the BEST Pizza and Great Wine!!“

“Belluno already had me coming back for the food, but the people working there are what really make it special. There’s a tall guy and a girl with glasses behind the counter who somehow turn a simple pizza pickup into a genuinely great experience every time.

They’re always welcoming, friendly, and clearly care about what they’re doing. Whether it’s a quick smile, an easy conversation, or just the way they make you feel noticed instead of rushed, their energy completely changes the vibe of the place. You can tell they take pride in their work, and that kind of attitude is rare and refreshing. Please don’t lose them, they’re such a good team.

The pizza is delicious, but the atmosphere they create is just as memorable. It’s the kind of place you look forward to visiting, not just eating from. If you’re looking for great food and great people, this spot is absolutely worth it.“

“Went here for the first time today and the service and food was amazing! I highly recommend Little Italy Pizza!“

“Fantastic lunch!! Thanks!“

“absolutely delicious !!!“

“Outstanding Italian food and wonderful service! Ask for John!“

“Buon Appetito! “Savior the Flavor”. Campi most definitely lived up to the hype. We heard so much about the new restaurant around the way at the Ray Hotel in Pineapple Grove, downtown Delray, so we had to check it out and see what all of the fuss was about. Upon entering the chic, upscale, and aesthetically appealing establishment, we were greeted at the door by two extremely friendly and personable hostesses who immediately sat us at our table. Luckily we had the good fortune of meeting Luca, one of the GM’s, as we made our way to our seat, He graciously welcomed us with a round of sparkling Rose champagne. That set the tone and mood for the evening. A mini charcuterie board consisting of italian salami, chunks of freshly cut parmesan cheese, and an assortment of olives was served along with a basket of freshly baked, hot, bread. I highly recommend dipping the bread and other items in the flavorful olive oil. Our waiter Sebastian was wonderful and very knowledgeable about the menu and made a few recommendations that were home-runs! We started with the caesar salad which was one of the best I’ve had in a while. The lettuce was cool and crisp with the perfect hint of anchovies topped with the right amount of freshly shaved parmesiana cheese. Oh and I would be remiss if I didn’t mention the sweet roasted mini tomatoes which were the perfect complement. Next up we had their lasagna which is the talk of the town. It was served as pinwheels, which was unique, and the homestyle sauce, meat, and other ingredients were so flavorful. It did not disappoint. We took a few minutes to digest and then it was time for the main courses. My wife ordered the pistachio crusted salmon with pesto and our guest JB and I shared the chicken parmesan and short rib agnolotti with fresh horseradish and crispy garlic. Each and every entree was perfectly prepared and presented, and they even split the portions for us. The showstopper was definitely the agnolotti!! After dipping multiple pieces of bread in the various sauces, I finally had to wave the white napkin and surrender. Unfortunately, we had zero room for desert but promised to indulge during our next visit. We will definitely be back! It was truly a special night at this exceptional, fairly new, player to the Delray scene. Lastly, Campi certainly lived up to the reputation of its family restaurant, Campagnola (on the Upper wast side of Manhattan). We cant wait for our next meal at Campi!! RobandegEats rates Campi (4.5)⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5“

“Absolutely the best authentic Italian food I’ve ever eaten. Great friendly warm atmosphere along with great service and flavors. Chef Nino is one of the best Italian chefs in South Florida. It’s a must go to restaurant weather you are in the area or need to drive from far away you won’t be disappointed. Some of Nino’s old Italian recipes handed down from his family in Italy and some that the great Italian Chef Nino created himself, since he was born and raised in Italy he has captured the real Italian flavors and delivers to you right at the table. It’s a true Italian experience that you don’t want to miss. Five star restaurant.“

“Nice spot, good food and the staff was nice. Plenty of parking. Definitely try it!“

“Since our very first time dining at La Sirena, nearly 10 years ago, we have loved this restaurant. Everything about is is extraordinary including the food, menu choices, service, ambiance, and wine choices. Marcello, owner and chef extraordinaire and Diane, front end manager make this restaurant even more special. We are never disappointed and everyone we have brought there agree that it is the best place to dine in Palm Beach County.“

“I can happily say, my grown children and I have been enjoying Fiorella’s delicious food for over ten years. We have eaten over a hundred meals and have never had a disappointing dining experience. Every time my children come into town, we are always going to have at least one memorable lacto-vegetarian dinner.“

“been customer's of Rudi's pizza for years! has brooklyn water dough that makes a NY style crust ..delicious! Tony adds his special touch. the linguine w clam sauce is outrageous..and plenty of tiny clams..so is stuffed shells..Rudi's marinara has a bit of sweetness and tops all his dishes with flavor. my favorite house salad comes with the best balsamic house dressing I've ever tasted. and the staff, Derick, Owen and Jasmine are always polite, attentive and accommodating. Kudos all around! 5+ ☆☆☆☆☆☆“

“Wonderfully intimate longtime trattoria in Delray Beach, owned and operated by a delightful family with service by an amazingly friendly staff. Every appetizer, soup, salad and entrée made to order, with offerings such as Lemon Sole, Yellowtail Snapper, Lamb Chops, Osso Bucco, and outstanding veal and pasta dishes. Desserts equally amazing. The repeat clientele since 1980 is testiment to this South Florida gem's success! Be sure to make a reservation!“

“Dined at Rose's last night,,what an absolute delight,,now in my top 2 Italian restaurants between Boca and Delray !!! Am I am very selective“

“The food is very good but the restaurant was really noisy and difficult to hear the waiter and ourselves! The servers walking by bumped into us constantly. We were a party of six in a cramped corner. The food came out faster than we would have liked.“

“Pizza & Ceasar Salad was Amazing“

“Great fresh pasta with a variety of pastas, sauces, and toppings - customize to your taste! Delicious and affordable - good size portions! Helpful, friendly staff! Glad we came.“

“Been here many years and never ate there thought it was just a senior place,with cranky adults,even though i am a senior i usually don't go to that type of restaurant,,last week we ordered for delivery at avellinos,the food was great i enjoyed it,eggplant Parmigiano, and my husband had chicken marsala,and they offer your choice of side dishes,they were also very good,the delivery was asap aka delivery dudes,was prompt abd food was very hot,so all in all had a very good experience on all levels“

“The Philly Cheese steaks are great. The soups are made from scratch with fresh vegetables and meats. They are thick and very filling. A very tasty menu!!“

“Alicia was EXCELLENT! My husband and I came for a romantic evening, and we enjoyed ourselves so much. She came by to check on us frequently but not so much that it was intrusive. Service was so good! The food was also delicious.“

“Manicotti was delicious. house salad dressing is the best!“

“I’ve eaten here twice. Great. Here’s the thing about less than impressive reviews: if there’s one or two that are not great, out of 50, I don’t give them credence. No one or service is perfect for everyone all the time. Like all us, right?“

“I want to thank Steven for an amazing experience at Ruocco’s in their new Boynton Beach, Florida location. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by an incredibly friendly staff. Jake was our server and took exceptional care of us from start to finish. We are regulars at the New Jersey location—it’s our go-to restaurant, especially for catering—so our expectations were already high. As always, the food was A++ and the staff was absolutely top-notch. The new Florida location is beautifully designed, and it’s clear that no expense was spared. Steven and Angela were both at the restaurant during our visit and made us feel completely at home, which truly made the evening special. Florida, you now have an authentic Italian restaurant with amazing food and even better people who genuinely care about their guests. Be sure to stop in and see for yourself—you won’t be disappointed.“

“The restaurant is in a great location. You can enjoy the beautiful scenery while having your meal“

“Food is prepared with great care. The fish was superb and this time I had Chicken marsala but I wasn't overly impressed. I prefer more of a brown sauce. Their Tiramamasu is outstanding and I prefer it over the Butter cake. Victor is the BEST waiter!“

“My experience at Olive Garden was amazing overall! A little loud but not too loud to where you can’t hear. The food was fresh and hot, the chicken gnocchi cream soup was full of flavor and the cheese ravioli was absolutely divine. The server is definitely what made it great though; He was such a gentleman, ensuring that my husband and I were comfortably seated and happy with our portions. He also sent us home with extra soup and breadsticks, I couldn’t help but call him a sweetheart before we left because his radiant personality and kindness absolutely made my rough day into an amazing one. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a place to sit in with a decent variety of Italian food with breadsticks to go around.“

“They raise the level of dining out to an art. The food is extraordinary. Service is excellent, friendly, not stiff in the slightest. It's like you've been invited into the home of someone with the best wine cellar in FL.“
