Outstanding Restaurant! Everything was top Notch! Love the ambiance and the highest quality fine dining in the area! Massimo Patano is a brilliant Chef....!! Ps. They have the most excellent wine selection!
We had an amazing time at the Massimo's and will definitely go again. We went for my wife's birthday, and while we had never been before, we depended on the online reviews given by other diners. We weren't let down. We were seated immediately upon arrival, and noticed the ambiance of the restaurant was very low-key and relaxing. The only critique we would have of the restaurant is the time to get our various items for our meal. Our waitress didn't take our drink order until we had been there for 15 minutes. In addition, because of the time between course, we left the restaurant after being there for 2 1/2 hours (some of that was because they served the cake for my wife's birthday), so pretty lengthy, although we weren't in a hurry. All that being said, the meal was incredible. The soup of the day was amazing as were my wife and mother-in-laws salad. The duck & brie appetizer was very good as well. The entrees were nicely portioned, except the chicken parmesan plate was big enough for three people! My maple-glazed Pork chop was the best I've ever had, and I don't make those comments lightly. All in all, the dinner was amazing and other than a couple of minor things, we would definitely recommend Massimos!
We went to celebrate our anniversary. The service was excellent. The food was delicious and presented beautifully. Never rushed. Great for a quiet, relaxing, quality evening.
Our first time. For my wife's birthday. The food was amazing. I had the duck appetizer, as well as the duck L'orange entree. Both were superb! Wife had the seafood Risotto. I tasted that as well. We loved it! Our server, Sara was very attentive and pleasant. We even got a visit from the chef himself! We live in Port St Lucie, but if we lived nearby we would eat there very often. The wine selection is incredible. Massimo's is a must visit for delicious food, great service, and extensive wine selection. I will be back!!!
The lobster bisque was fantastic, my husband loved the chicken parm and my crab pappardelle was just ok. Our server was on the quiet side, but she was great at timing everything. It was my husband's birthday and she brought a ball of whipped cream with a candle in it, which we thought was kind of funny. I would definitely try to come again and order something different next time.
Staff were great and very attentive, chef came to the table to see how everything was which was a nice touch. Definitely could use a makeover/updating. In my opinion, the entrées were overpriced and not very flavorful.
Food was excellent and service was friendly.

Wine dinner night (with multiple food and wine flights) was outstanding.

I can't speak to the food there because we left before we ordered any food. The menu however is limited. The beer and wine list is also very limited. We made reservations and showed up on time. I asked the host for a specific type of table and he immediately pointed to another table that was nothing like what I asked for. He never considered my request. We sat and were given menus that was limited. I asked for a particular kind of beer, a popular beer, but it wasn't carried there. The server told us the specials and we didn't hear anything that was appealing to us. The dining area is very small and the tables are close together not allowing for a private conversation without being overheard. All in all it was not a good experience at all for us. To be fair there was nothing inherently wrong with the place . We left after I finished my beer and my wife finished her tea. The tea was served in a bottle that could be gotten from a vending machine. The tea is not brewed in house and it's not very good. As far as electic dining goes , it seemed straight up and not very diverse. In conclusion, I'm not saying to stay away from this place because we didn't eat. I'm sure some people love it but not us. It's not cheap but the food may well be worth it, I don't know.

I had Lobster Bisque was very good. My ribeye steak wasn’t the best: Too rich, too much stuff over it, it canceled the steak’s flavor. The Tiramisu wasn’t the best. For this high price dinner I was expecting more. I won’t be back.

Everyone mentioned that this was an authentic Italian restaurant so we tried the pasta dishes. We were not happy with our dinner at all. The Alfredo was like soup and the chicken parmesan had more bread than chicken. The best was our wonderful waitress who was absolutely attentive kind and told us that we have to come back and try the meats and fish as that was their specialty. If we do go back it would be because of her.

We go to Massimos for special occasions. This was our 31st anniversary dinner. It couldn't have been any better. We've been there about a half dozen times and each time it's been the same, outstanding! Thank you for an excellent night.
Wine list is amazing! Menu choices are great! Service was very slow considering there were only 5 or 6 occupied tables. Ambiance could have been better for an Italian restaurant. Would have liked to hear some music. It was so quiet that you could hear the conversations of tables around you. Our server was friendly and professional but the wait between his visits was much too long. 2 1/2 hours on a Thursday for just the 2 of us. Considering there were only 5 or 6 tables occupied and at least 3 servers plus a hostess.
The bartender keeps harassing me on Facebook with racist comments about how I must have hotels and a “goat to f***” she’s completely unhinged and constantly posting racist things online. You won’t want to be served by her if you’re anything other than white. Posting photo in comments.
