Crust Artisan Bakery

Best Italian food in the area!

Never have I ever had to walk through a restaurant’s kitchen and prep area to get to the restroom. I don’t know how this is not a safety issue. It literally was awkward to walk through the kitchen avoiding running into staff and walking past plates prepared for customers. The food was good but terribly overpriced with no ambience. The owner was kind. No printed menu and she verbally tells you the menu and we should have asked the cost of the dishes we ordered. $42 for a piece of grouper with no sides? We were definitely sticker shocked with the bill. I would not recommend mainly because of the cleanliness and design of the restaurant. Totally disappointed in the lack of ambiance, prices and tour through kitchen to get to restroom.

I’m obsessed with this restaurant and bakery. Crust is phenomenal. Don’t fall into the trap of staying and eating on 30a. The best restaurant in town is on 98. Crust beats them all!

Food was very good the menu changes daily they wait staff reads the menu options I recommend the pork chop if you want alcohol you have to bring your own. Wait staff is knowledgeable about the menu and attentive laid back atmosphere. I would revisit.

It’s been a while since I’ve enjoyed every single thing that was ordered at the table. And I love to eat. All types of foods.

We ordered
- crab salad
- arancini (risotto balls)
- manicotti
- veal chop over spinach

Nothing was overly greasy or heavy with cream like most Italian places. The pasta was definitely handmade… it was so thin and tender it was almost like a crepe. The lump crab was fresh and not fishy at all. The arancini, although fried, was very lightly fried. The veal. Very rare to have a chop at a restaurant. It was well seasoned and had a beautifully seared crust. The spinach, still crunchy, not soggy. And lastly, I’m not a huge fan of marinara sauce typically… but theirs was different. I would definitely eat here again.

The only one “knock” I’d say is that the food does take its time to come out. You order one course at a time. However, when things are made to order and taste this good, it’s worth the wait. Pretend you’re in Europe without a schedule and come hungry.

5 of us ate here, all having different dishes! Oh my, every dish was top-notch! Lasagna, spaghetti, chicken parm, and crab cakes!

My time at crust was nothing short of delightful and delicious! Immediately I felt a sense of comfort, we were ecstatic to see it was a pretty chill day and had no struggle with seating. Service was great and the menu was explained in full detail by memory from our wonderful waiter Kim. Food was great and the Chicken Parm was to die for! What a lovely experience, I will definitely be coming back!

We are regulars at Crust and enjoy bringing our adult children when they visit. Tonight’s supper experience was our best yet. Veal Chop, Rack of Lamb, Cioppino and Chicken Parmesan, plus two appetizers and two desserts. Four of the best meals we have ever enjoyed and served with a smile by Kim, the restaurant owner. No visit to Florida is complete without a meal at Crust. Highly recommended!!

Fabulous dinner & great service from Kim at Crust! Every course was incredible & satisfying. Love being able to BYOB. Lump crab salad, burrata with pear, & arancini to start. Then seafood pasta, gnocchi bolognese, & tiramisu to finish. No frills in the atmosphere, but that’s a part of the experience. Perfect date night!

Wonderful food and atmosphere. We will go back. Ordered the family style for us and it was the best Italian food. My Grandmother from Naples Italy would have loved it.
