“My girlfriend and I had an absolutely wonderful experience at Milano's Restaurant last night! A huge shoutout to our amazing server, Landyn, for delivering "exceptional service." From the moment we sat down, Landyn was friendly, attentive, and made us feel so welcome—it really elevated our entire evening.❤️ We both ordered the ravioli with braised short ribs and a salad, and it was absolutely SCRUMPTIOUS. As an added bonus, we had the pleasure of listening to Stephen Lopez. His acoustic guitar and smooth, captivating vocals were such a treat and made the night even more special. You could tell everyone was enjoying him—some even sang and danced on their way out! 🎶 Landyn and Stephen are true gems and brought so much joy to the experience. Thank you, Milano's, for an incredible evening. We’ll definitely be back!”

La Dolce Vita Gelato & Pastry 6146 SW State Rd 200, Ocala Ice Cream Shop • $

“The best we have ever had!!!! The gelato is equivalent or better than any gelato we have had in Italy, Switzerland, or Germany. We would share our favorite flavor, but that changes every time we go, as the owner only uses the freshest seasonal ingredients. Let's just say we can't find a flavor we don't like. Today a shout out for the grapefruit, amaretto, biscotti, cannoli, coffee, and chocolate gelato. My husband is the biggest coffee snob I know. He spends hours weekly ordering the best beans, roasting them, and pulling shots of espresso. It is rare that we go out for coffee and we can say the coffee is good. This owner knows how to pull a good shot of espresso!”

AK Pho & Boba Tea 2635 SW College Rd #200, Ocala Vietnamese • $

“Very pleasantly surprised to find Vietnamese owned pho and boba tea place in Ocala. They’re new (5 months). I was skeptical on the authenticity when I saw they didn’t have tendon as an option, lol. I ordered the fried spring rolls and the fresh rice paper rolls as appetizers, a Vietnamese iced coffee, and the combination pho but, asked for the eye round steak uncooked on the side, which they obliged very kindly.
The fresh roll was perfect ratio of ingredients and the texture of the rice paper was spot on. The fried spring roll made me utter a giggle of surprised delight. Seriously one of the best spring rolls I’ve ever had. I do want to mention I used the red fish sauce (have to request) instead of the sweet and sour sauce that comes with it because it’s the better sauce, in my opinion. When the pho came I thought it was going to be flavorless because it looked a little too clear but, once again, the first bite shut me up and confirmed me as a believer, and now a promoter, of their place. Savannah gave me excellent service, and Jose and Ethan followed up with genuine pride and curiosity for my experience and sharing their community with me. I hope you will come support this locally owned business. Oh, the one thing I wanted to suggest is for there to be some kind of background music. Vietnamese or anything really. It was super quiet in there and I would be self conscious when talking to a friend. But that’s just me! 🙏🏽❤️”

Diane was the enthusiastic voice on the phone when making reservations for six for the Sunday brunch. She was the delightfully welcoming hostess when the party arrived. George, as other reviews have attested, was flawless: engaging, attentive, approaching his tasks as a performing art...terrific! Freddy Lopez, the manager, took great pride in the staff and offerings from the kitchen. He described changes soon to be made. The name will be something like "Marketplace Kitchen and Bar", an unfortunate image of an older shopper with shopping bags full of groceries sitting nursing a beer at the bar. Food was very good, although NOTHING except the salad dressings had labels. Individuals will allergies would need ask or simply avoid any item which was not entirely identifiable. Indeed a hotel pan of Creole fish could not be identified by two members on the line. It was Mr. Lopez who solved the mystery.”

Crumbl 4414 SW College Rd Ste 325, Ocala Dessert • $$

“I went in for a dirty soda. The young girls working continued to work without helping me. I had to ask if I ordered myself and that's exactly what I had to do..I ordered myself, and paid by myself. Eventually 1 of the girls made my drink and I was gone, but dang...don't ask for a tip on the register when you don't even look up at your customers”

“Franco’s Italian Restaurant in Ocala is absolutely amazing! The food is delicious, portions are very large, and the prices are great for the quality you get. The staff is wonderful—very friendly and welcoming. Our server (Ashley) was extremely knowledgeable about the entire menu, which made ordering easy and enjoyable. The food came out fast and hot, and everything was perfectly prepared. We will definitely be recommending Franco’s and will be back again!”

“To say this is my favorite place to go to in Ocala is an understatement. I've been going there 6 days a week since they've opened. Every trip is a true pleasure. The staff is beyond helpful and always kind. The ingredients they use are so very fresh and the taste is always incredible. This place has spoiled me to the point that my blender and juicer now have dust collecting on them. Do yourselves a favor and give them a shot. They're definitely a hidden gem.”
