“I took a friend for pizza today, it was a fairly wonderful experience. Service was great out the gate, very attentive server, the pizza was delicious. she got the mushroom, I got the Riccardo! Then I spilled a glass of water all over the table. I cleaned it up best I could with the napkins on the table. The server came by at one point to check on us, I let him know I'd spilled water and cleaned it up as best I could. He said, no big deal it's raining outside. Never cleaned it up, even brought the check 15 minutes later and laid it next to and on the spilled water. Everything up until the spilled water was great. I just cannot wrap my head around the lackadaisical behavior, not only by our server but the other 2 servers who stopped by to check on us. Perplexed to say the least.“
“I always look forward to stopping here. This place makes the best sandwiches. They also have the most AMAZING Italian desserts I've tasted in a long time. The people working there have always been pleasant and accommodating. Food and desserts are consistently good.“
“It's deli style meets restaurant. Very homey and cute decor. Everyone was super nice and spoke to me. I was alone waiting for my son who was very late and I was nervous something had happened. They were kind to me. They kept his pizza warm while I waited.“
“Italian deli with some delicious foods and generous portions. Not only do they serve sandwiches, paninis, wood fired pizza, but they do sell gelato and have assorted Italian desserts available for sale. The Frankie's special was delicious, a 9 inch sub with prosciutto, ham, mortadella, Genoa, provolone, spring mix, tomato, onion, roasted red pepper, giardiniera and dressing. Lots of flavors brought together for a very tasty sandwich. The only down side I had about the sandwich was there were quite a bit of oils so napkins are definitely a must. The Italiano Panini included, ham, Genoa, Cappy, spring mix, tomatoes, onions, roasted red peppers, artichokes, and dressing, along with the chips. The mozzarella sticks are homemade and quite cheesy, as they are made to order. The garlic bread is very plain but heavy on the garlic and cheese but is the way I prefer. Ended up trying some of the cookies and cake that they offer and it brought some good flavors, however the tiramisu tasted a little dry. Overall, not a bad place, definitely want to come back and try the pizza.Parking: Located in a strip mall so there's a decent amount of parking“
“Just had breakfast there today and it was a great experience. The owner (Raul) greeted us at the door and welcomed us to the diner. He also followed up with us after our meal. Wendy waited our table, not only did she provide great service, she was an excellent communicator. The breakfast was cooked in a reasonable time for a Sunday morning, was delicious and priced fairly. 5 out of 5 recommend you try La Loma for breakfast some time.“
“I would definitely eat there again! We needed something quick and not too expensive and stopped in for some pizzas. Great outdoor seating, super-friendly staff, and yummy food. Couldn't see the ocean because it was dark, but we were able to walk over to the beach for a few minutes while we waited for our food. Also, the bathroom was amazingly clean, which I would not have expected from a place so close to the beach.“
“I can not say enough about Trattoria Bella! Our office used their catering for our Christmas party & everything was just amazing! Everyone raved about each dish. Julia the owner, was wonderful to work with. She answered all my catering emails very promptly and made great suggestions. I loved everything so much, I took my daughter there tonight for dinner. It’s the cutest little Italian restaurant with a great atmosphere. Our waitress was great & service was fast! Highly recommend checking them out!“
“Bacco Wine Cafe- Melbourne- 5 Stars When a restaurant has been in business for 18 years, I know one of two things. It's either the only restaurant in town, or it's the best. I am here to say that Bacco Wine Cafe in Melbourne is the latter of the two. The place is run by a husband and wife team, the husband, Loris, takes care of the front while his wife, Rafaella, runs the kitchen. As the place is reservation only, we were very fortunate and grateful that Loris gave us a table. He said we arrived early enough so it wouldn't be a problem. As my eyes began to devour the choices on the menu handed to us by Loris, I thought this was sure to be an amazing meal. However, our server, Jennifer had me briefly second guessing that assumption as she came across as a zombie. Or your typical 25-year-old. She was adequate enough as she got our order right but, really seemed to just go through the motions. I ordered a three-course meal consisting of Tagliatelle Alla Bolognese, the Veal Chop Alla Marsala and for dessert, I went with the Pere Cotte Al Vino Rosso. Jennifer was soon doing the zombie shuffle towards our table with a tray of culinary science concocted in the laboratory of Chef Rafaella, Ph.D. in foodology. As our gastronomical treasure was set before us, my sense of smell became overwhelmed with scrumptiousness. The odors spirling up from the plated art in wisps of steam would make a dead man salivate (which I found exceedingly ironic given the mortal condition of our server). My comestible journey began with the order of Tagliatelle Alla Bolognese. Sadly, this recipe has been hacked the world over. It has been reduced to "common" food status when in reality it was the dish of nobility as traditionally it consisted of beef and fresh cream, items not easily obtainable by the commoners. Chef Rafaella reminds everybody of the true origins of this dish by elevating it once again to noble standards. She starts by making her own pasta and finishes with the freshest cuts of prime meat around and tops it all off with a homemade Bolognese sauce that recalled to mind one of the nicknames of the city it hails from, "la grassa" or "the fat" in reference to the city's culinary mastery. After literally licking the plate clean (thatsa some sauce!), I directed my appetite towards the Veal Chop Alla Marsala. As my loyal followers know, this is my "barometer" for measuring a good Italian eatery. The Veal was obviously USDA Prime as it was so tender it practically melted on the palate. The mushrooms were fresh cut (YAY!) and Chef Rafaella really took it to the next level by using shaved garlic in her sauce. Served with riced garlic mashed potatoes and bedded atop a bevy of market fresh veggies this was truly a dish from a chef at the top of her game. However, Rafaella's chef-d'oeuvre this evening was her take on the classic Pere Cotte Al Vino Russo. What can I say about this delicious masterpiece of dessert? Was it perfect? Was it divine? Everything falls short. The pear was cooked unerringly to perfection and the red wine reduction sauce was out of this world. A dollop of fresh cream was the exclamation point to a fabulous meal. The Big Boy says, "What are you doing still reading this? Call Bacco and make a reservation. Now. Boun Appetito!!" #bigboydiningout #iamthebigboy“

“My wife and I grew up in New York city we live in Haines city Florida. To be honest, this pizza is incredibly good and close to authentic New York pizza ? the cheese, sauce, and crust was very good and must do if ever in the Melbourne Florida area. Thank you.“
“This is a consistently good place for a nice lunch. Four of us went on March 20. Kudos to the restaurant for providing a basket of bread to the table. The bread is fresh-baked, plentiful and irresistible. We ordered glasses of wine. The various house wines are good quality and come with a generous pour. Two of us had one of the specials _ fresh Atlantic flounder Francese-style with rice _ and it was absolutely superb. Perfectly prepared fillets, light and flavorful. The others at our table had eggplant parmesan and lasagna _ and enjoyed both. Dinner-sized portions on both. The staff wrapped our leftover bread to take home _ and added several more pieces. What a considerate gesture.“
“The place is absolutely amazing relaxing and the family and staff are truly the best. Food is delicious and the pizza is better than back at home in New Jersey. Portions are huge and good wine. Try it you won’t be disappointed. 5 stars in my book“
“Super delicious, genuine, homemade Italian food. The "lobster tail" canoli dessert was great. Service is kind of slow but friendly. Easy listening Italian music playing on the TV. Antonio's enthusiasm is infectious.Kid-friendliness: Not a kid atmosphere.“

“The food was Absolutely delicious and the atmosphere was comfortable and welcoming. Homemade sauces, generous portions, and Meatballs you can slide a fork through. Our server, Becky, was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. But not overly friendly, she knew when to stay and when to leave; this was Definitely the best experience we’ve had in a very long time and the amount of gluten-free Options was impressive.Dietary restrictions: All of the sauces and toppings are available for gluten free guests for the craft your own pasta.“
“Had the Italian Bagel with their hot sauce. Enjoyed the food so much I also bought a bottle of the Latorra's hot sauce. They have a large variety of bagels to choose from. Looking forward to going back and trying all their bagel options.“
“I hadn't ever heard of Slices. I ordered on a whim from Uber Eats. Omg! Absolutely delicious! I grew up in NJ, surrounded by Italian Moms and Nonas. I know good when I taste it! And it doesn't even matter that I haven't been to the grocery store because this is enough food for a week!!! Thanks so much, Slices. This dinner tastes just like home.“
“I like Sbarros already. Went to the one inside Cumberlands on Viera Blvd today. Young man was very nice and I swear it’s the best pizza I’ve ever had from a Sbarros. I’ll be a repeat and repeat customer from this location. It was that good. And it was nice to have a friendly staff member. Keep him Mr Owner.“
“I was impressed. I ordered a pizza here a few months ago and one yesterday . It was a lot better this time around. We ordered a medium pepperoni and my wife added pineapples on half. The dough was the perfect consistency for pizza dough. It was chewy, thin crust and delicious The pizza was well cooked and had bubbles from the heat which is a must for brick oven pizza. Not a fan of pineapples on pizza but that was not their doing bc that's how we ordered it. I had to stop myself from over indulging. The reason for the score was because of their improvement. Please give them a try. The place looked clean and the staff seemed friendly. We ordered a take away and not dine in.“
