“Operated by an Italian couple which knows first-hand how to make excellent Italian food. Talking with the cook who has an Italian accent is part of the experience and the atmosphere, which is an upscale food court with other vendors. It even has a golfing simulator attached to this food court. Just try it and you will be blown away by the quality of Italian food and service. I'm going to come back here next visit to the area.“
“Best Italian food in the area. Make a reservation because this place is popular. It's nicely decorated and gives off that fine dining look but it's cramped and very noisy. Otherwise it's our newest Italian dining stop in Destin.“
“Locals here- best Italian in Destin, in our opinion. We literally get takeout from here several times a month. Ingredients are fresh, and it reflects in the taste! Everything we’ve tried is good! Service has always been spectacular, especially when dining in. Celebrated a birthday here as well, and it was a wonderful experience. Love this place!“
“Tasteful dining with absolutely delicious food for a very reasonable priceThe atmosphere was niceOur server Kathy was AMAZING and a true asset to this location!I highly recommend this restaurantIt will be our go to place every visit to Destin“
“Large deep dish / Detroit style Hawaiian well done hit the spot.Thin crust extra time was a crowd pleaser.For a local pizza place this place will support any party.Just note the large is reasonably sized but over order - you won’t be disappointed.“
“I didn't know about these pizzas, I ordered one online and I really loved it. I think from now on this is going to be my pizza place. Their page allows you to customize your pizza in a way you haven't seen before. Plus the prices are good. So I recommend it 100%“
“Absolutely amazing food and a wonderful and inviting staff! Our waiter, Curtis, was incredibly friendly. He recommended the vodka pasta, which ended up being one of the most delicious vodka sauces I've ever had. The portions were great sizes and we all took leftovers home. Overall, a charming and delicious spot for dinner in Destin!“
“Ordered takeout. 3 large pizzas and boneless bites. Our order was ready right on time and the pizzas were great! Loved the crust on these. My favourite is ordering the veggie pizza and adding pepperoni and chicken. It is absolutely delicious. Should have ordered more of the boneless bites as they disappeared very quickly. Have eaten there in the past. For dine in, they have friendly service and it's a great place to have a drink and catch a game. Convenient location if you are staying close to Baytowne.“
“This restaurant is Top tier from the staff to the food!!!! Give them a try and thank me later !Kid-friendliness: Still not sure if kids are allowed because my daughter and niece where the only two kids in the building but the staff definitely didn’t make us feel out of place even after reading later that we were supposed to make reservations we were still seated quickly and provided GREAT customer service“
“Lovely atmosphere, great food, and great service. Was really hoping this place was going to meet expectations, and it did. Certainly would recommend for anyone in the area that wants a change from the regular seafood dishes and tourist trap places.“
“This is a great option for a nice dinner in a relaxed atmosphere. The food was amazing. The service (Dennes) was top notch. The ambiance was perfect. We had a large party with lots of different dishes. Everything came out hot and perfectly cooked. The portions were very generous and the staff were incredibly friendly and hospitable. This is definitely a stop to make in Mirimar Beach / Destin!!“
“CHEIF'S KISS! Perfect date night with live music or a must try for all food critics. They won't disappoint. I dont understand why this place was not packed out the door, maybe because they're hidden on the first floor of the Marriott.As we exited the elevator we were greeted by a lovely hostess and immediately sat at a noticeably comfortable table. Lights are dimed and live music playing from the bar area in the back of the restaurant. The atmosphere was very inviting. Our waiter Brady arrived at the table ready with water. He was very knowledgeable of the menu and explained the cheif's featured menu helping me make up my mind. It was hard deciding because everything sounded so delicious. I ordered a Lemon Drop Martini which was suprisingly better than my own. My husband ordered his usual Manhattan it also was mixed perfect. We shared fresh calamari for an appetizer. For dinner I ordered the melt in your mouth Grilled Swordfish served with vegetable medley. My husband ordered the fresh Kale Salad served with pieces of fried Artichokes, and Grilled Octopus on the side for his protein. Everything was seasoned and cooked to perfection. I was impressed start to finish and that says a lot coming from a local who has tried every restaurant in this area. We will definitely become regulars of Vincenzo's“
“My wife and I stopped in Friday night after reading about this restaurant. We had a fantastic experience. The place was so nice loved hearing about the history of the home. The food was amazing. We had the tomahawk steak. It was one of the best tasting steaks I’ve had. Wonderful portions and the veggies were delicious also. We will definitely be back and have been recommending to our friends.“
“Beautiful location for friends, dates, or meetings. We had a relaxing date night with lots of food, nice wine, great locals, and sports tv playing.They do have indoor and outdoor seating. Special little place in our town.I had the ricotta tortellini with marinara & salad. The salad needs more love besides lettuce, but the dressing was great. It was a side salad and maybe that’s a restaurant thing.My guy had the buffalo chicken pizza. He really liked it. Plenty of leftovers.The wine is a nice blend, soft, red, smooth taste with a nice aroma. Try the wine.Amazing service!Vegetarian options: Pasta, soupParking: Easy parking“
“Wow what a warm and awesome welcome by the GM, Larson! So friendly and happy ! The greeting alone made me feel valued and happy too. They had a fun movie playing in the dining area and it was clean and tidy. The other employees were just as nice when they offered anything else that I required. Super happy I grabbed a pizza for lunch today ! :) pizza was delicious!“
“In addition to the phenomenon food what sets this place apart is the phenomenal service! You can tell the owners worked in the service industry for years, and they took that hospitality and have hidden graded it into this business. Although they have healthy options, Get your dieting out of the way so you can try the chicken cinnamon roll THANG!!! Definitely an experience to remember. Tips 1) they usually have a seasonal dish; TRY IT 2) it's Italian food, but cooked by folks who know how to season Food 3) look at the board outside; the Chef commonly has special items not in the regular menu or seasonal. 4) Don't except the food you see online to be the only dishes they have and vice versa; that change things up quite a bit .... In a good way 5) Independent small business owner: SUPPORT THESE FOLKS!!!!“

“I love this restaurant and the staff and the atmosphere. If you’re genuinely hurt that this Americanized Italian (chain food) restaurant isn’t “authentic Italian. Well duh. But the food is great and I come here a couple times a month and every server I’ve had has been fire. Is the restaurant pricy? For two people I spent $60 dollars. The food was great service was so I tipped $60. If you don’t have money go to fazolies. Shoutout to the Olive Garden team and tonight my server Alex. Love this place and will always be a loyal customer.“
“Hungry Howie's in Fort Walton Beach recently helped us cater lunch for a large charity event and their customer service deserved more than 5 stars! Jason, the manager, and his team were so kind and had everything ready to go to make our lunch event a huge success!“
“Since I don't live in the area, I've only had the pleasure of dining at Clemenza's at Uptown on two occasions (so far!).? Each visit was such a DELIGHTFUL TREAT!Upon entering the restaurant & being greeted, I felt GENUINELY welcomed in. I'd describe the atmosphere as EASY, CLASSIC, COMFORTABLE, ELEGANT. The service was OUTSTANDING! ...it's as if the servers are GLAD to be there & they KNOW they're about to give you an AMAZING dining experience! The food was EXQUISITE? both visits, IMPECCABLE! I'm sure I'll be visiting again when I'm back in the area & I'm definitely looking forward to it!Parking: The parking lot (located right outside the restaurant) provides plenty of parking possibilities.Wheelchair accessibility: Although I didn't notice any wheelchairs during our visits, the entrance does appear to be wheelchair accessible & there are tables that would easily & efficiently accommodate a wheelchair.“
“Best Italian place in the Niceville area. I love this cute little place. Been coming here for years. The pizzas are handmade & delicious. Pastas are to die for. Drinks are cheap and delicious. You're missing out if you haven't been here. There's also an attached bar if you want some late night fun.“
“We had a fantastic experience with the crepes atCapriccio Cafe! We ordered two Nutella crepes with strawberry and bananas, and they were absolutely delicious. The older gentleman who greeted us inside was incredibly sweet. We'll definitely be stopping by again when we're back in town! Highly recommended!“
