We've dined here several times, but never before when they offered the pizza special. The pizza was the right size for the two of us. No leftovers to take home.“

“Excellent dinner! We have been getting pizza & a caesar take out here for the past few months and this quickly became our go to pizza spot.

The entire staff is warm and welcoming and makes the experience totally enjoyable. Michelle is the best hostess and Logan is the best waiter anywhere. We highly recommend Michelina's for dining or catering.“

“This is areally cool little place. The appetizers (mac and cheese bites and boom shrimp) we had were good and the steak sandwich and chicken and shrimp ceasar salad. Our waitress was so nice and the atmosphere was interesting. Its a military/ 1st responders bar and grill I thought that was really interesting“

“I remember when Ruffinos opened years ago. They have the best pizza and sauce we have ever eaten. I also love the Chicken Marsala as the sauce is delicious. Plus you get spaghetti and choice of salad or soup and the most scrumptious garlic bread. Also the canolas are authentic not filled with whip that some others use. We usually order takeout but there is seating inside which is kept very clean and decorated with an Italian theme. The people that work there are always friendly and welcoming. We love this restaurant!❤️????“

“My wife and I had dinner here last night and it was excellent! Good food, good prices and very friendly staff. I read some of the other reviews and don’t understand some of the feedback. Been eating here since the late ‘80s and am never disappointed. One of our favorite places for Italian food“

“La atención de estás personas emprendedoras es increíble, la comida impecable. Es un lugar en donde no podés dejar de pasar a comer y disfrutar un buen rato. los recomiendo 100%“

“Had an amazing experience and delicious food. Also Henry, our server, made the experience even better!! Five stars for him!“

“I dined here last October with a group of people. To be honest I couldn’t recall what I had. I was told I had the duck but, honestly it obviously didn’t leave an impression one way or the other. Why I had duck at an Italian restaurant is beyond me. Clearly it was not the dish to try. However, that was not the experience I had with my most recent visit.

The Ambiance
The ambiance is a cross between your typical Italian restaurant with wallpaper scenes of Italy and a sports bar with photos of baseball players (predominantly my team, the Yankees) and a Tom Brady wall when he was with the Buccaneers. There’s high-top tables and bar seating in the bar area and a large dining area in the dining area.

The Service
Efficiency with a smile would be the best way to describe the service. It seemed like everyone had a job and each person filled that job to perfection. Tables were cleaned as soon as they were messed, dishes were cleared as soon as they were done, drinks were refilled immediately all with a smile and the utmost of courtesy. As a restauranteur, I must say I have never seen such efficiency and professional courtesy all in one package.

The Food
If you like big dishes, one’s that provide enough leftovers for a week, you’ll love this place. If you like fantastic Italian food, this is the place for you, if you enjoy a great dessert, you’ll find one right here.
For our appetizer, we shared the Calamari. It had a crispy crust and a uniquely chewy, yet tender interior. My lovely bride chose the Chicken Piccata over a bed of Angel Hair Spaghetti. The chicken was oh so tender with just the right lemon in the sauce to add a bit of zest. I chose the eggplant parm with rigatoni and sweet Italian sausage. The eggplant, although a bit thicker than I like, was covered in a crispy layer of melted mozzarella cheese. The eggplant was tender and tastefully finished with a nicely seasoned breading. The entire dish was amply topped with a robust marinara sauce. The accompanying rigatoni was a bit too thin for me but was cooked Al Dente to perfection.

For dessert, we chose the tiramisu and peanut butter pie. Both were excellent with the tiramisu featuring just the right blend of coffee and cream. The peanut butter pie was oh so creamy and finished with a sprinkling of chocolate. Both were a fitting way to end a great dining experience.

The bottom line
The bottom line as always with my reviews is my “customer so what” … would I come back? I’m sure you know the answer based on my above review. Although pretty expensive for an Italian restaurant… $150.00 for a party of two, the size of the dishes is big enough to provide leftovers for another two dinners, I definitely would return and if you haven’t been there, it’s definitely worth the trip.“

“Ordered from door dash just as a new find and wanted to try it. Prices were great but the food was fantastic!!! We were floored at how good it was! We will be DoorDash ing this many more times! The portion sizes were great too. We tried the chicken parm pasta for 14.99 and the cabanero pasta (spelling?) with a side of breadsticks and mozzarella sticks & choc cake for dessert. We had plenty of leftovers for lunch the next day. Forgot to take pics but they looked as good in person as it did in the pics we saw.

Kid-friendliness: Nothing was spicy and cheesy enough that kids would love it!“

“Not only does Salerno Pizza support our TCCA community with give back nights, they have also bailed us out personally with pizza parties! Today they went above and beyond, opening early to make pizzas for our 2 year olds birthday and let me tell you, EVERYONE LOVED THEM. 10/10 recommend Salerno Pizza for not only pizza but all your Italian needs! Oh and they offer a cash discount!!“

“Delicious food, great atmosphere, and joyful servers! Loved this place.“

“Today I decided to try this place, because I live in an area without popular places. And I have to say, I was very happy with the service I received. My waiter was incredibly nice and friendly, he asked if I wanted refills, and was very attentive. However the food was not incredible. It was alright, like your average pasta. Unfortunately, my whole family of five felt sick afterwards, but it was tasty. I was definitely expecting more - because everyone online I’ve seen loves this place, overall, I might come again. Again - service was incredible!!!“

“This is an over exaggeration of what really happened we were a little busy but no one ever waited two hours they were late showing up the whole party came in late the most they were there was 45 minutes we do cook everything to order“

“One of the only places to get a decent slice of pizza!!! I've been venturing on the rest of the menu and so far it's been very tasty!!!“

“Absolutely wonderful experience. Birthday dinner for my husband . Couldn’t have asked for a nicer evening. Excellent food , fabulous wine selection.. The owners go above and beyond to make your dinning experience memorable.“

“Being from Boston , for me it was like going into the North End With that feeling of Family acceptance when I walked into the door The Bensonhurst Sandwich was incredible. What made it so good was the fresh Italian Bread roll it was on . Being married to a Sicilian woman for 35+ years I would consider myself a connoisseur of Italian food and everything I bought and took home from there was "Benissimo" I've found my new GO TO place for Italian Foods now.. The Service was was amazing and the variety of selections was exactly like being back hone... If you want the BEST in Italian food and deserts, Look no further , for this is the Place to go !!! Grazie per il tuo meraviglioso negozio“

“We found Three Guys Pizza when everyplace was closed. So happy we did, my friend visiting from Massachusetts and I ordered the Ranch, bacon and chicken. It was an amazing pizza!! Can’t wait to order more from here, will definitely be back!“

“Whatever the time of day, you can go to old Dixie and find something great to eat. Recent updates really improved the atmosphere, and it’s clean and the staff is friendly and fast. You’d like to do takeout? Usually ready within 15 to 20 minutes, and well packaged. We picked up the chicken français the other night and it was so so good. You also get a side of salad and rolls and everything you need if you want to go to the beach with it or take it home. Great place.👍😊“

“I've been going to Anna's Pizza for years, even when she first opened & was near the bridge going into Palm City, today with a slight name change & location in actually Rio/Jensen are with the word, "Original" included. Her pizza's are the best, my personal favorite is her Veggie pie. I've been told by this person, that person to try different pizza places, all not worth going after eating other pizza. Her pies & other items are 100% the best, of the best..“

“Love the great service and a menu that just says we have it all . Fun to watch the jurors every so often . Be back pretty soon !“

“We got a meat lovers pizza minus the pepperoni last night and it was amazing. The crust was perfectly crisp and the toppings were just perfect on top of that pizza. It was like a work of art. I encourage you to try the pizza there because I can tell you I’m very picky, and it’s the best I’ve ever eaten.“

“Our meal and service (from Claire) was exceptional. We enjoyed the grouper, the salmon and the roasted duck with our dinner party. Service was top-notch and our dinner was delicious. We highly recommend and will be returning .“

“Great food and great service“

“I have never been disappointed in the pizza. Our office orders several times per month and always order the Veggie Special (love the fried eggplant on it!) and a large Cheese pie. Garlic knots are awesome, and their antipasto and other salads are extremely fresh and tasty. Their house dressing is refresing and light.“

“We ordered hot and cold subs and a pizza for a party. All food was great, just as we had ordered, ready on time, and good price.“

“The single best pizza in FL! Born in Chicago, raised in Fairfield CT. You cant beat this anywhere, its like being home again, give it a shot, my family is white clam. I order a large Jimmy’s special for myself & take the rest home.“

“Excellent service, great deals, and tasty food what more could you ask for a local business? Oh that’s right there is more they also give back/support the local community partners with the local elementary school, the fire house, no wonder they’ve been voted the best. It’s true!“

“great food-b-tenders very friendly im there every thur rain-shine price's good & leslie a great b-tender good to b.s, with " go there "“
