28 Best Italian Restaurants in Stuart

“Fabulous family owned restaurant. Excellent food and service. We dine there quite frequently and you are treated like family. Great specials and always freshly cooked. Occasionally, you may need to wait a few extra minutes because they’re not popping anything out of a can. It is all fresh cooked to order. Extensive menu, delicious, desserts, and family, friendly. A+++“

“How does a restaurant get 30+ people to rave about their dinner? Ask Piatto Divino. They know how and they do it easily. There are very few restaurants that can do that. Bravissimo!!!“

“Linguini with clams is a taste delight! Older patrons enjoy the smaller lunch entrees. Also, when Italian people dine at an Italian restaurant indicates the fare is authentic and delicious. Wife recommends chicken Marsala and the ricotta cheesecake. We’ll drive from Sebastian again for this delightful experience. You will not be disappointed! Kindly, Brenda & Daral“

“My wife and I had the small plate lunch, lentil soup, Caesar salad and for her meatballs and for me, fettucine alfredo. food, service and price were great. Our server Sammy is top drawer, he knows the menu and knows how to treat and interact with the guests.“

“I have to say this place rocks. If you are looking for authentic Italian food served by an authentic Italian family then this is the place. Service impeccable, people are fast friendly and so damn kind. Food was delicious and you taste the herbs and fresh tomatoes. My whole party was extremely happy and we were a party of 75! yes, 75!! Not one of the people in my party had a negative comment, not even a hesitation. We will be back. Thank you to the beautiful family who runs, owns & cooks to make this sooo Good!“

“Excellent dinner! We have been getting pizza & a caesar take out here for the past few months and this quickly became our go to pizza spot. Had dinner for the 1st time this eve, arrived at 8pm with friendly staff and incredible meals. Fresh flavorful tomatoes in the Arabiatta sauce and tender chicken piccata. Hidden gem“

“Not only does Salerno Pizza support our TCCA community with give back nights, they have also bailed us out personally with pizza parties! Today they went above and beyond, opening early to make pizzas for our 2 year olds birthday and let me tell you, EVERYONE LOVED THEM. 10/10 recommend Salerno Pizza for not only pizza but all your Italian needs! Oh and they offer a cash discount!!“

“Great food and good service. Excellent chicken parm“

“Michelina's never disappoints and it has become our favorite Italian restaurant. The food is always perfectly prepared and delicious and the kitchen is accommodating to any special requests. The entire staff is warm and welcoming and makes the experience totally enjoyable. Michelle is the best hostess and Logan is the best waiter anywhere. We highly recommend Michelina's for dining or catering.“

“Servuce from joanie was great. everything crafted to perfection with a delightful touch: a small serving of eggplant caponata accompanying our tomato mozzarella appetizer, house salad paired with a slice of heirloom tomato and homemade balsamic cream vinaigrette dressing, freshly baked bread, and a complimentary limoncello at the end.“

“Absolutely wonderful experience. Birthday dinner for my husband . Couldn’t have asked for a nicer evening. Excellent food , fabulous wine selection.. The owners go above and beyond to make your dinning experience memorable.“

“My wife and I had dinner here last night and it was excellent! Good food, good prices and very friendly staff. I read some of the other reviews and don’t understand some of the feedback. Been eating here since the late ‘80s and am never disappointed. One of our favorite places for Italian food“

“Delicious food, great atmosphere, and joyful servers! Loved this place.“

“I dined here last October with a group of people. To be honest I couldn’t recall what I had. I was told I had the duck but, honestly it obviously didn’t leave an impression one way or the other. Why I had duck at an Italian restaurant is beyond me. Clearly it was not the dish to try. However, that was not the experience I had with my most recent visit.

The Ambiance
The ambiance is a cross between your typical Italian restaurant with wallpaper scenes of Italy and a sports bar with photos of baseball players (predominantly my team, the Yankees) and a Tom Brady wall when he was with the Buccaneers. There’s high-top tables and bar seating in the bar area and a large dining area in the dining area.

The Service
Efficiency with a smile would be the best way to describe the service. It seemed like everyone had a job and each person filled that job to perfection. Tables were cleaned as soon as they were messed, dishes were cleared as soon as they were done, drinks were refilled immediately all with a smile and the utmost of courtesy. As a restauranteur, I must say I have never seen such efficiency and professional courtesy all in one package.

The Food
If you like big dishes, one’s that provide enough leftovers for a week, you’ll love this place. If you like fantastic Italian food, this is the place for you, if you enjoy a great dessert, you’ll find one right here.
For our appetizer, we shared the Calamari. It had a crispy crust and a uniquely chewy, yet tender interior. My lovely bride chose the Chicken Piccata over a bed of Angel Hair Spaghetti. The chicken was oh so tender with just the right lemon in the sauce to add a bit of zest. I chose the eggplant parm with rigatoni and sweet Italian sausage. The eggplant, although a bit thicker than I like, was covered in a crispy layer of melted mozzarella cheese. The eggplant was tender and tastefully finished with a nicely seasoned breading. The entire dish was amply topped with a robust marinara sauce. The accompanying rigatoni was a bit too thin for me but was cooked Al Dente to perfection.

For dessert, we chose the tiramisu and peanut butter pie. Both were excellent with the tiramisu featuring just the right blend of coffee and cream. The peanut butter pie was oh so creamy and finished with a sprinkling of chocolate. Both were a fitting way to end a great dining experience.

The bottom line
The bottom line as always with my reviews is my “customer so what” … would I come back? I’m sure you know the answer based on my above review. Although pretty expensive for an Italian restaurant… $150.00 for a party of two, the size of the dishes is big enough to provide leftovers for another two dinners, I definitely would return and if you haven’t been there, it’s definitely worth the trip.“

“Had an amazing experience and delicious food. Also Henry, our server, made the experience even better!! Five stars for him!“

“Best pizza in all of Florida , also love the chicken parm sliders . Owners are amazing. Staff is super attentive. Love the atmosphere, very welcoming !“

“I've been going to Anna's Pizza for years, even when she first opened & was near the bridge going into Palm City, today with a slight name change & location in actually Rio/Jensen are with the word, "Original" included. Her pizza's are the best, my personal favorite is her Veggie pie. I've been told by this person, that person to try different pizza places, all not worth going after eating other pizza. Her pies & other items are 100% the best, of the best..“
