10 Best Italian Restaurants near Placida

“My wife and I stopped in here on a whim last week for a quick glass of wine. We spoke to many regulars who raved about the food and every staff member we encountered was incredibly friendly. We did not eat during this stop but we're definitely going back the next time we're in the area.“

“Sisters! Wow! Great food. Fun outdoor atmosphere. Deck dining with umbrellas for shade. Indoor atmosphere seems old school and clique-would recommend seating outside. Menu has great Italian fare offerings. Lots of apps, salads and entrees. Our server Jax was amazing!! It was a busy Saturday. Takeout was happening and all tables were full! We were a large party and he more than accommodated all of our requests, he was generous, helpful and happy. The other servers and hostesses we encountered looked miserable and acted so- we were so pleased to have Jax! Calzone, pizza, tuna salad, Cesar salad, chicken Parmesan, all tasted great! The dipping oil is very tasty to accompany the bread prior to the meal. Would definitely come back here next time we are in Boca Grande“

“I'm from New Jersey and live down here in Florida part of the year and the hardest thing to find is good pizza. I've been searching all over my neck of the woods in Florida for good pizza but couldn't anything good until I went to Bobarino's. If you want great New York style pizza don't look left don't look right go straight to Bobarino's and tell them Guy sent you! Mangia!“

“This is a bustling Italian restaurant and when it is bursting at the seams you know it’s going to be good! The wait was a bit lengthy but while waiting everyone who worked there was checking on us. Once seated things moved quickly and the food and drinks are plentiful. Food is authentic and made individually to order. Everything is delicious. Seating is crowded but it’s ok.We are definitely going back!Parking: Parking available on both sides of the building.“

“Stopped by for lunch today. No wait, we were seated immediately. Our group ordered a chicken parmesian sub, a reuben, and a taco salad - everything was freshly prepared, hot out of the kitchen and tasted amazing! Service was superb - thank you for a great lunch!!“

“We were so impressed with the service and the quality of the food. It was very delicious. We were in town for two days for a family funeral and the owners of Isabella’s were able to cater an incredible meal for about 30 people within less than 24 hours notice. We will forever be grateful to your kindness. We loved it all…. And everyone enjoyed the food very much!“

“Scarpa's Coastal Restaurant on Boca Grande is a true hidden gem!The food was in one word, INSANE!!The mini crab cake for an appetizer was truly amazing! Our meal was one to remember and we will return. Owner Ashley, manager Sarah and their team are exceptional in hospitality. A must visit!“

“Sorry to take off one star for sitting in outside area. Restaurant repairs were not yet completed, so we ate in a tent area. Don't let this put you off, with the nice weather it wasn't bad. They had it set up nice. Food was great. We will be back soon.“

“We stopped in to order and the guy behind the counter was so friendly! We waited for it to be ready it was fast like 15min tops! Food was good and the guy gave us good local tips too. We will be back while still here. I was worried with the reviews but those ppl who wrote them musta just been in a bad mood to start with cuz the guy we delt with tonite was awesome“

“I had baked stuffed shrimp, and it was delicious. My husband got the lasagna, and he was not impressed. The beef was like tasteless mush. The French onion soup was also tasteless. My Malibu martini was great. Duncan was a great server, and very attentive.“
