“Been here before and this place is still a winner. Great and creative choices plus cheerful and more important competent wait servers. It’s becoming an our favorite when we crave pizza or perhaps mozzarella sticks. Don’t let the construction outside from the new Publix turn you off. Bronx Pizza is alive and well.“

I was pretty fooled when I stepped in to a totally different atmosphere, a place where all the locals come, and it was packed, sat at the bar Andrew the bartender took care of us. He was amazing. He was on top of his game. Nothing unusual for him whatever he suggested was excellent service excellent food excellent wine excellent I drank sangria from Spain so did everybody else in the place? It’s my new go to it’s a hidden gem and I really thought this was just a joint and didn’t know if I was actually gonna eat here but was T fooled thank you so much guys for your food and service will bring all my friends and family to you.“

“We popped in here on a whim. Tucked down a little, cute street, fostering a wonderful vibe. It was about to sprinkle(maybe..Florida, ya know) but the owner said if we wanted to chance it, would could sit outside, as the wait time for an inside table was over an hour. We decided to chance it. So glad we did! Best chicken piccata I’ve ever had. Generous “wife portions” of wine, hah. And the food came very quickly. Really enjoyed the owner’s hospitality as well. Highly recommend!!“

“We had an exciting time celebrating our graduates, and it couldn’t have been more perfect! The pizza was absolutely delicious, and we indulged in three mouthwatering varieties. And let me tell you, the house salad was incredibly fresh and packed with flavor! I can't recommend this place enough—it’s a must-try!“

“One by of worst experiences of our lives! Food is ok. Rude waiter, loud, perhaps high as kite!!!! Could not wait to get out of there. If you want to be treated poorly,and by Jason,this is the place to go. He has poor customer service.“

“Excelente servicio y la comida deliciosa 👍🏽“

“I have eaten at Piesano's twice, and each time it was awesome! The food is absolutely wonderful - today, my party and I enjoyed a cheese calzone, shrimp scampi, and gorgonzola salad with shrimp. All were excellent. And the service and ambiance are exceptional. It is very quiet and comfortable, and the wait staff are patient and kind and don't mind if you take your time. Not many restaurants are quiet and relaxing these days. The prices are fair, as well, especially considering the high quality of the dishes. Highly recommended!“

“Food was all very fast, and freshly made! Such a unique concept on serving too - all on a board which was definitely more enjoyable for our family!! Food was delicious and fresh (went for brunch). Family friendly as well. Definitely a hidden gem!“

“We were visiting St Augustine for a couple of days and both of our dinners were from Carmelo’s pizza. The first night we had supreme special pizza. Yum! Last night was lasagna and salad with artichoke, peppers, feta cheese and more. Sorry didn’t remember the name of it. It also was delicious! If we come back to St Augustine, we will be eating here. Not only because the food is delicious but everyone is happy and really great at customer service. Jean - on the left both times on the phone with our orders but also in person makes you feel like you are the most important customer in the shop. I am a manager in customer service and the service she gave to me and the customer service that the team gives each other is outstanding. This is how a business is run: great food, customer service and team work! Thank you Jean and everyone for making our anniversary weekend special and delicious.“

“Best Italian restaurant in St Augustine by far. Food was delicious, staff was fantastic and the owners are from my home state of NJ. What more can you ask for ?? My wife and I will definitely be coming back !!“

“We order from Marco’s all the time and they always hit the spot! The staff here go above and beyond. While I was waiting for my pizza, the gentleman making it even remembered that I usually like it well done. The new app didn’t give me that option, but he took the time to ask and then put my pizza back in the oven for a few more minutes just the way I like it. It’s those thoughtful little details that make this Marco’s so special and why we keep coming back. Thank you for always being so considerate and making sure our food is perfect!“

“We decided to have pizza delivered to the condo for our last night of vacation and omg so good! The island Baja pizza is amazing! Wish we lived closer so we could eat here more often! Best pizza I have ever had!“

“Sorry it took us so long to try this place, fantastic!“
