18 Best Italian Restaurants near Pensacola Beach

“Good pizza, nice staff (although some were wearing trump shirts instead of uniforms, which is weird), but the price is pretty outrageous given the prices of everything else in the area. We spent more here for a celebrity pizza, a soda, and a beer than we did for dinner for 2, apps and drinks at crabs, flounders, and other local spots.“

“We had reservations for 630 and were quickly seated. Our server Gavin was fabulous and kept our glasses full and our heads going with a wealth of knowledge about the entrees and specials answering all our questions without being overbearing. He did a great job keeping us happy. For cocktails we really liked the Smoked Pancetta Old Fashion. Smoky and a little sweet tasting, delicious! The New Orleans Shrimp were almost as good as the real thing and the whipped feta was served with grilled sourdough was out of this world! We had the Doppio, Ravioli and Beef Short Ribs. All dishes were well presented and delicious. I definitely recommend a visit to Angelenas.

“Bonelli’s is always a fun dining experience with excellent service! The food is authentic Italian and always delicious! They have great wine too. Inside it is cozy and relaxing and outside feels festive and relaxing.“

“It is Olive Garden and this one is a good one. My only complaint is the food came out before the appetizer, and then the unlimited breadsticks and salad were not explained. I understand it’s Olive Garden but some of us don’t eat here frequently.“

“The food here is so delicious! Especially the pizza! My favorite is the peach one by far! But other than how great the food is, the customer service is always great, and being able to get some great craft beers while you eat pizza, is one of my many joys in life! I suggest it to anyone!“

“V. Paul's Italian Ristorante is a true culinary gem! 🍝🍸 Along their delicious Italian dishes, their martinis are absolutely unmatched—some of the best in town. Each one is perfectly crafted, from the classic to more creative options, making it the ideal place to unwind with a drink in hand. The atmosphere is elegant and inviting, with a great balance of upscale dining and a relaxed vibe. The staff is friendly and attentive, making sure your experience is top-notch from start to finish.

“Just like Italy!! Absolutely loved the vegetarian!“

“We had a wonderful meal tonight with some friends. Payton did a great job with our busy table. The food was wonderful and the atmosphere was great. We enjoyed seeing Butch there and he is a wonderful addition to the staff. Thank you. Mark Matthew.“

“Tried Seneca’s for the first time and was blown away by the deliciousness and great service. We had 2 sandwiches; a chicken parm and a caprese. Both were scrumptious and huge! The chicken was so crispy and juicy. The bread was soft with a nice crunchy crust. We also tried a side antipasto salad, sampled some olives from their selection and ended with a fresh made cannoli and some delicious almond cookies (best I’ve ever had). Put this place on your rotation locals. We can’t wait to go back and sample more of the menu.“

“Had the new Salsiccia Pizza and it was DELICIOUS!!!! Love this restaurant!!!!“

“I was visiting Pensacola for a family reunion. To make things easy for dinner we decided to order pizza. Someone suggested Ozone Pizza Pub. My group of 16 consisted vegans, vegetarians, someone with religious dietary restrictions, and people who are everything. Ozone Pizza hit a home run! They didn't blink at my take out order. They said 30 minutes and I believe it was ready to the very minute. Very friendly staff. As far as the pizza, DELICIOUS! I highly recommend Ozone Pizza Pub. Thank you so much!!!“

“Best pizza in Pensacola and locally owned and operated too.“

“Not sure who the guy answering the local location phone was, not in a foreign country, but at the local Gulf Breeze location. But I've ordered from him several times. I recognize his voice. Most recently, tonight 1-18-2023. And every time he was even toned, helpful and worked to make things happen. Even when I called back because Door dash was screwing up. He was polite and tried to help. Thank you to that guy! Sincerely, from the Little Hill Lane peeps!“

“Oscar was my delivery driver tonight and deserves this praise! It might seem minor but he really made my night. I ordered cinnamon twists with my order and was given garlic sauce instead of icing and he made sure I got my icing, PERSONALLY. Honestly he could have relied on the store to find a way for me to get the right sauce and went about his night but he didn’t and for that i am thankful!!“

“Everything is so expensive around here, wow! We just wanted to sit down for the night and relax in our room with some beer and pizza. We ordered personal pizzas so we could get what we wanted, and spot on!“

“The pizza is real good. I get the sausage and pepperoni what the three cheese and butter crust so tasty and I also get the boneless wings with the ranch sauce and Howie cookie, the orange Sunkist, the meatball sub and the steak, cheese & mushroom sub.“
