37 Best Italian Restaurants near Saint Johns

“Best Italian I’ve had since Patti’s closed down MANY years ago!!! My Chicken Parm was delicious! Waitress was very attentive (sometimes they are not with a single mommy and a child). The salad and wine was great too. Only thing I would change is to offer customers fresh grated Parmesan when the food is served. I had to ask for it and waited for a few minutes for it to come as my food was getting cold. Overall great experience. We will be back!! Oh, and I tipped about 23% because waitress was so awesome!! I think her name was Lauren or Laura. Very close to my name. Lol We will be back!! 😁“

“One of the best Happy Hours. Drinks are excellent and 1/2 price appetizers are very good. Wish they would add Fried ravioli. Would be great with their marinara sauce. We had a Thursday "special" meal. It was the best beef stroganoff we have ever had! Should be on the menu, even though it isn't Italian.“

The atmosphere was exceptionally well where it was well lit while not too bright. There wasn't much noise even with a busy night. The food was savory and satisfied my family's pallete. An amazing experience overall and definitely would recommend. Shout out to Brandon again!“

I had more than enough to enjoy. The service was top-notch! Not only from the server but also from the Manager. My compliments to all the staff for making the experience magical! Absolutely ♥️♥️♥️ the ambiance - reminded me of Woodstock, NY.

All and all, I give Moon Dog Pie an A++++“

“Seriously don't understand why I haven't been here before now. This is hands down the best pizza I have had in the Mandarin area. And the Greek salad was an added bonus. Prices are good. Service is fast and friendly. Beer selection is slim with bottles only, and we thought the wine was a bit pricy but not too bad. Wishing for some craft drafts, but no matter, we will be back.“
