17 Best Italian Restaurants in Stuart

“Hands down, the best Italian in the area. My family has been coming here for decades. My folks had their 50th wedding anniversary here and it was perfect, my brother had his 50th birthday here and it was awesome, I'm having my birthday dinner here next week and it will be epic! Skip the chains, eat authentic Italian, I mean, they make and roll their own pasta, get here already if you haven't!! Make reservations though. Tammy is the best server in the land, dine with her!!”

“Loved our Thanksgiving dinner at Nostalgia! The turkey dinner with all the trimmings was delicious and satisfying. Nice to have the option of ordering off the regular menu too if you wanted. Our server, Karla, was apparently new (it was her 4th day there) but you'd never guess it. She was so pleasant and efficient. Michelle the hostess is always friendly and Kirsten, the manager, is very attentive always. We have been coming here quite often in the past year and it's nice to see that the new management hasn't changed portions or prices. They've made some upgrades to the overall appearance inside and out. Hoping they will find a way to reduce the noise level as the acoustics are pretty loud. Also, have to agree with one reviewer about allowing diners to smoke right outside the entrance to the restaurant. Pretty gross. Please post no smoking signs. Overall we love it at at Nostalgia! Keep up the great work!”

“Five stars all the way. Menu options were incredibly attractive with something for everyone. Presentation of the food was delightful. Tastefully exquisite, every dish. My father-in-law is a farmer from Iowa and ordered beef filet. He said it was the best steak he's ever had. Additionally my mother-in-law chose the salmon. She commented that she has salmon most everywhere she goes for dinner, and this was an impressive piece of quality fish with seasoning that melted in her mouth. Her favorite meal of the entire 10-day trip here in South Florida. Five stars for service. Everyone was attentive beyond expectation. The wine list is also wonderful. Beautiful hostess who smiled and delightfully greeted everyone upon entry. Management also came to every table to say hello. The pistachio gelato is a must try. Delicious!!! We will definitely be back. Very nice. ?”

“The staff are absolutely phenomenal when it comes to customer service, and the food is absolutely delicious every single time too. If your looking for a great breakfast or lunch, I would highly recommend it here. They won't disappoint!”

“Yes they pride themselves with the style of pizza and Italian food from Connecticut, especially The New Haven area? Coming from NY, Didn't know it was different from any other Italian restaurant, but everything was done well. I do recommend it!”

“We ate dinner at 18 Seminole last night. I had the Chef’s shrimp & my husband had a veal dish, both were excellent. The service was perfect and the outdoor dining experience was exceptional. The courtyard is very cozy. We would highly recommend!”

“When you talk about a great place with even better food, you can't leave Salerno's out of the sentence. We LOVE this place and the people who work there are almost as good ?. The owner is VERY welcoming, always working when we come in and all around attentive. Great way to run a business!You HAVE to try a Stromboli with pepperoni and meatball - it's the best we have ever had (and one of our kids are SUPER picky).”

“First time here and gotta come back for more. Had the special pulled pork ravioli in Marcela sauce. It was yummolishious. Our server Michael was excellent attentive. Huge portions, great pricing and have leftovers for the next day. Excellent.”

“I can not say enough good things about this restaurant. My family and I came to celebrate my wife's birthday. The food was the best Italian food I have ever eaten (short of when my grandfather was alive and cooking). The service was five stars. The atmosphere is great for any type of dinner, small or large parties. My wife and I will be back to enjoy a meal together again.”

“Service was excellent here. Food was strikingly delicious, and was served almost unbelievably promptly. The restroom was very clean. The price was fantastic. These good folks fully deserve their high ratings and we most certainly intend to return! A+! Thank you!”

“We LOVE Anna's and get food from there every time we visit my Dad! The Yummy Chicken Parmesan Dinner, around $22 feeds 6 people! Don't forget to bring cash, they don't take credit cards. I'm sure that helps with the Great Prices!”

“Went into this restaurant across from my house I would like to say it was the best out to dinner experience I've had in a really long time to food was five star it was a quiet little place and the waiter was a darling and gave us everything we wanted but best of all the food was amazingDietary restrictions: I have some dietary restrictions and the server really help me find things that were perfect for me”

“This is definitely a local place. One of the few places around where you can walk up to get a slice and coke. Heading inside, its a little small in an original building from the early 1900's. This is what makes it cozy and quaint. No big bougie crowds. Home-made food or pizza are always excellent. You can't go wrong with anything you order. In downtown Stuart you can eat dessert in the restaurant or take s little walk around to find other treats.”

“This pizza is my favorite of all. We had a medium pizza, half pepperoni and half Hawaiian. Both were delicious! The marinara, cheese and pepperoni were all generously proportioned and of high quality.The pepperoni is a bit spicy and so delicious… the meatballs and marinara are delicious too. We were also very pleased with our Chianti which was served at room temperature. Very smooth. The service was warm and prompt. Food came quickly very hot, fresh from the oven. The dining area, bathrooms and kitchen area were all impeccably clean and there’s a beautiful tiki dining area out back also…We ❤️ this place!’nParking: Street parking and large lot out behind the restaurant”

“You feel like you are back in the Bronx going to the corner restaurant where a friendly family takes care of you. Moma and her Children (son and daughter) out frond Papa is in the kitchen.The food is prepared for you fresh with thick sauce and tons of flavor. The price is fair considering the huge portions. it is ok if you are going from Queens, Staten Island or Brooklyn.”

“Our first visit and we give it a 5 star review. Saturday night dinner with music was just what we needed. Outdoor dining, waterfront views, super menu and our waiter Josh made for a wonderful evening. Price fixe menu options were too good to pass up, although all the specials sound wonderful as well. We are so happy to have Mangia in the Pocket.”
