11 Best Italian Restaurants in Punta Gorda

“On Sept 11th my husband & I enjoyed a delightful and most delicious meal. It was our anniversary and the staff made it even more special. The only downside is when we paid the bill we were not told that the tip would be POS entered separately from our account. My husband checked our account and he thought the tip had not been given. So he made a trip to Carmelo's to ask about why and to correct. He was told the tip was done separately - think this should be told to their guests. Thank you for a lovely evening and amazing food.“

“Went back to Brooklyn Joe's today. Had the sausage with onions and peppers. It did have red sauce and white American cheese on it. I'm sure you could have provolone or something different if you choose to , but the sandwich was very good. The sausage had a good fresh flavor with a nice spice to it. Plus the pizza by the slice is good. I noticed that older people were seated eating plus young kids coming in to eat. Also workers coming in for lunch. The food is good and the place has a good character about it. The employees have a good personality and all seem to be welcome. Thanks“

“The food and service were both great. We had Christina and she was a great server.“

“We had an amazing meal at the Dough Bar!!! Met the new owners, who were very visible and friendly. tried the NY Style Pizza and it was out of this world- thin, crispy crust!! We also had the Chicken Rollatini and it was the best we have had there. Looking forward to going back soon!!!“

“Had a Large Pizza from here today and we ate every piece on the way home! Can’t wait to try the garlic knots and another pizza next time we stop into Arcadia Seas! A +“

“Food was excellent! Staff was very good and attentive, atmosphere was really nice! Was very hot evening was afraid to eat outside but their fans made it very comfortable. Was very much impressed with Ortigia all around and will recommend dining there!“

“I have been coming to Elena's for about 9 years now. They serve a fast, reasonably priced breakfast. It is in a shopping strip off of 41 in Punta Gorda. It is not gourmet food but it sure as hell tastes good. The staff is friendly and they are always busy. You may even have to wait in line. I get the same breakfast every time...I know what I like. I have never been disappointed and I keep coming back even though I moved to North Port 5 years ago. It remains my favorite breakfast place. I have tried many others in 9 years..they just don't measure up to Elena's.“

“Picked up a large two topping pizza for $7.99; They have great pizza at half the price of other local pizzas.“

“Ordered from here for the past 13 plus years and still love ordering from them!“
