Had a wonderful dinner last night. Everything is top-notch. Great bottle of wine for a reasonable price. Had the zucchini, flowers and the carpaccio for appetizers, very very good. For dinner I had the veal scallopini and my wife had the veal chop. both were excellent not to mention the scrumptious desserts. Worth the price. Chef Ricardo came out and said hello, that's a nice touch and our waitress is great. A must go!

Simply delicious meal with attentive knowledgeable servers. Enjoyed their zucchini blossoms, filet w pecorino crust, lamb ragout and ended with chocolate soufflé. Will definitely return soon.

Riccardo, his son Giovanni and Pedro all do a terrific job making everyone feel welcome. Riccardo is the real deal serving authentic cuisine from his Capri roots. His dishes are well prepared and are delicious and nutritious. Perfect Italian sized portions are very welcome.

What a wonderful 95 th birthday celebration for mom! This beautiful little gem is hidden in a strip mall In Tequesta. We had the pleasure of having Ashley as our waitress. She was so knowledgeable and helpful with the wine and food selections and a very personable server . We enjoyed the zucchini flowers and  antipasto for starters , both excellent . Then we were all in the mood for pasta so we shared the cavatelli, homemade pappadella with lamb ragu and the Fruta de mar All were excellent !!!!! The evening was finished with a beautiful chocolate flourless cake and a complementary pistachio moose! The very talented chef came out to wish mom happy birthday and chat about Italy with her . Couldn't ask for a better 95 th dinner Will be back soon , thank you so much

The food is authentic italian. While the location is hard to find and not ideal, the inside of the restaurant was quaint, and the service and food were outstanding. Would highly recommend fettucini bolognese

We took some friends who had never been to this restaurant and they absolutely loved it! The service was outstanding and all of our meals were excellent. We each ordered desserts also and they were wonderful. We'll be returning often!

Hands down one of the best Italian restaurants in the Jupiter/Tequesta area. Chef Riccardo and his team always do a superb job in terms of food and service. Highly recommend.

We had so much fun here. The food was outstanding. We thought we were going to do the Flavor PB, however the specials sounded so good we couldn't resist. The amuse bouche lets you know what a delight dinner will be. The swordfish livornase and special ravioli delivered so much flavor and inventive details. The salmon/tuna carpaccio app with fresh dill and kiwi....come on...insanely good. My husband had the octopus, shrimp, scallop pan seared app, it was so good we tried to best each other on sharing it. Flourless chocolate cake was perfection and the husband loved the gratis homemade limoncello shot. It is the perfect invitation to come back. Love the red we got and they introduced me to a dry Italian white I will be having in the future. Our waiters were perfect. The woman waiter was training and she was so helpful with the white selection. Did I say the chef gave me some coarse sea salt to use. What a super nice guy. Now, you all know we probably won't be able to get in. Hah.

Try this newcomer to Tequesta. Three of us had specials of the day, and they were delicious and original. Enjoy the friendly and competent service. (The conversation might take place in one of four languages!)

Excellent food and service served in an intimate location. The owner/chef from Capri gives personal attention to each dish. Everything is fresh, including the excellent bread. Not your typical Italian fare, but creative approach from Italian roots.

Authentic Italian food in a small hall in the wall, you would have not known this amazing restaurant was hidden in plain sight, spinach gnocchi was to die for,and everything else we had was absolutely delicious

This was our second time dining at Il Professore. Tomaso greeted as we arrived and made us feel welcome. The food and service was excellent!! Be warned...the restaurant is small with a limited number of tables...reservations will need to be made well in advance during season. That said, I highly recommend I'll Professore!

The chef had several special entrees, In addition to all the regular menu items. The food was delicious. Served hot. Excellent wine pairing suggested by our very professional waiter. Very attentive without being overly familiar. Overall a wonderful experience.
