11 Best Italian Restaurants in Palm Beach

“We went here for desert and it was excellent. Not able to get a table as we walked in, we pulled up some chairs to eat. The cakes and coffee was really awesome. I felt they could have been more accommodating in finding us a proper place to sit. The cost here is outstanding as well. Bring your Bently.“

“A long overdue review, but dined there on valentines this year 2024 and had such a pleasant and wonderful experience. The ambiance was quiet for a holiday and really made the setting feel more intimate. We were greeted by our server Daniel who took it upon himself to listen to our interests in cuisine and recommended some of the house speciality dishes that ended up blowing us away. This is our third time dining at Cucina Palm Beach and we always leave more than happy to return. We went ahead and ordered the Carmella di pasta appetizer as recommended by Daniel and it was amazing. The medley of sweet but savory flavors melts in your mouth along with the sheep’s milk burrata that was stuffed into the pastas. It was warm, gooey, and delicious. Following up we shared the Sorrentino chicken dish for a meal. The portions are a good size and each meal packs a punch of flavors.Throughout our dining experience, Daniel checked in to make sure everything was going well and kept our alcoholic beverages and waters topped up. It was exceptional service anticipating our needs and maintaining that fine dining feel while keeping the mood light, comical and made to feel at home. We will certainly continue to return to Cucina and would look forward to dining again with Daniel as our server. It’s quality employees that help make a great restaurant and memorable experience. Thank you Cucina Palm Beach, and Daniel, for the greatness you continue to serve to your guests.“

“Chef Pierangelo is a culinary genius, his cuisine is simply divine. Last 2 nights Ive had the Tagliolini Carbonara with the original authentic ingredients of Guanciale Pecorino and NO CREAM PEAS OR BACON. Tonight I had some black truffle delicately shaved on to the Carbonara which was deliciously decadent.. Chef you are a culinary God amongst men Grazie!! Favoloso!! Incomprable!!“

“This place is one-of-kind special. They cater to the workers in the area, and offer delicious lunchtime options and affordable prices...which is unheard of in Palm Beach! The kind young man named Andres who delivers everything on his bike can always be seen around town making his deliveries! And the nice lady at the counter manages to answer 1000 calls coming in with speed and efficiency. I always recommend this place... and we here in PB are very appreciative of their service! Don't Change!“

“I saw this place quite by accident and I was attracted by the fact that it was an Italian restaurant! We didn't have a reservation, but they sat us at a table with a view! I tried the signature cocktail and my daughter tried the pizza and she really liked it! The pizza was authentic Italian! Thin dough and lots of mozzarella, as well as basil!Parking: Free valet (only tips)“

“The overall dining experience was incredibly well executed! Impressive attention to details and attentive staff members considering a busy / near capacity restaurant. The food was delicious and wait times to receive ordered items was better than expected. Highly recommended for summer outings especially the patio dining atmosphere is beyond expectations!“

“We had read the Renato's was the most romantic restaurant in Palm Beach and we would agree! We had a lovely table in the courtyard and as the sun began to set, the string lights came on. The service was attentive yet not overbearing. The food was delicious! We wish the night could have lasted even longer.“

“Had dinner there on a Wednesday night while on vacation and it couldn't have been better! My fiancé and I shared their eggplant parmesan appetizer, a veal chop parmesan entree, mushroom alfredo pasta, and pesto gnocchi. The only issue was picking which dish we liked the most (seriously). I have to say, pesto gnocchi ultimately was the star for me. It was also a "half-dish" that really was a full dish, so well worth the price. Our waiter was very friendly and did a great job attentively waiting on us despite having a rather full area. If you have the choice, sit on the patio it's a great atmosphere. And get the pesto gnocchi!“

“A nice, family oriented restaurant with tasty, italian-oriented food. The identity of the restaurant is a bit...mixed. Think olive garden- but with pergolas, arcade machines, game rooms and an outdoor playground. You can definitely bring your kids here, (I think that's the point).Kid-friendliness: Very oriented towards families with kids. There are several game rooms replete with arcade games, foosball table, ping pong. There is also a playground outside the restaurant.“

“Always a lovely experience at Cafe Flora. We dine here often. Their chicken Milanese is the best in town and their rigatoni bolognese is amazing. Lovely outdoor atmosphere with classical music playing in the background create a nicely lit romantic experience. I highly recommend this restaurant. It's one of my favorites in Palm Beach.“
