41 Best Italian Restaurants near Orange Park

“The owner is probably one of the nicest guys in the restaurant business, comes up an greets you like you're family. The food is always amazing and the staff is incredible. We do not get to eat out much so when we have the chance to splurge there are no questions where we're spending our money. Give these guys a try, you won't regret it.“

“My wife and I eat here regularly because the food is great. Our go-to’s are the egg plant Parmesan and the Luca’s special calzone. Can’t forget the always hot and fresh garlic knots. Yummy!“

“Love this place. Perfect neighborhood get together“

“Awesome food!! Best pizza in the area! Love the thin crispy crust!! Will definitely be going back in the near future. Highly recommend. 5 star!“

“My favorite is the Meat lover pizza, but also, I've tried the Pappardelle Bolognese, and it is out of this world. Great atmosphere and service. I would definitely recommend this place to everyone.“

“Our first time ordering tonight from Leona’s. I’m from up North and it’s hard finding pizza close to back home. This was pretty impressive. I have a friend coming this week so I’m looking forward to possibly trying again
.

I just have two “complaints”. We ordered Bianca Pizza with meatballs. We did get charged for the meatballs but there were indeed no meatballs on the pie. Not the end of the world but disappointing.

The other is more of a suggestion. The food came barely warm. I’m not sure if you have insulated delivery packs but it seems like maybe not.

Flavor was on point so I do want to stress I would like to give it another shot.“

“We were with a wedding party. They knocked it out of the park. I was really pleased with how well orchestrated the event was, feeding fifty people really good food at the perfect pace for a pleasant Evening. It was loud of course, and we had a subset of the full menu, but really good overall. Great work, Vito's.“

“We had the Sourdough Focaccia, Bolognese, and Pinwheel Lasagna and all three were delicious! The staff was friendly and attentive. The atmosphere was beautiful. We’ll definitely be back to try more!“

“Terrrrrible service period! Waiting over 2 and a half hours with kids to eat is insane. CC was overcharged too! Never again. 0 stars! Do not recommend unless you want to be bamboozled!“

“Delicious ❣️Enjoyed every bite❣️“

“I have been here several times to celebrate different occasions like today we celebrated our wedding anniversary and like always food and dessert was delicious. 😋“

“Just love this restaurant! Food is amazing... when I'm coming to Jacksonville always make my reservation in advance. Can be busy especially on Saturday night!“

“We didn't have to wait long...The food was great! Everything was very fresh. Our services was also great. And they have plenty of Employees ♥️.We will be going back soon!“

“Our first experience was last night. I don’t know why we haven’t been here years ago. It’s very comfortable inside with a medium size bar area, booths, and tables. We had excellent service and the food was very fresh and delicious. I’m a pizza snob . Their pie had a tasty sauce . Not too sweet and fresh mozzarella. The house salad was great with their creamy Italian dressing. I only wish it was a larger portion because I could eat that every day.“

“I just visited Uncle Charlie's and as always I was more than satisfied with my delicious meal. I ordered the lasagna with an extra meatball. My husband and son ordered Uncle Charlie's Special ( the sub ) and both said it was scrumptious. From the first time I tasted their food I told them they have a loyal customer for life. They not only meet our expectations, they exceed them. I don't care what day or time we come in the food is always mouthwatering unlike many other restaurants whose dishes are continuously inconsistent. If you have been there before your experience itself should be enough for you to come back and if you have never been let me invite you. I promise you won't be disappointed.“

“If you are planning a big party or a reception I highly recommend booking the private room. I just had my 60th Birthday Party there and it was AMAZING! Their ability to accommodate large groups is impeccable! All of my friends and family were blown away with the delicious food and highly competent staff!! All I can say is they made my special day absolutely perfect!! Do yourself a favor and call to reserve this room for your special occasion!!“

“Went tonight first time at new place. Food was even better than old place. If we don't order through Grub Hub will definitely go in person“

“Amazing good food, service was fantastic and the most friendly staff“

“My husband and I took our 13 year old daughter and one of her friends to dinner on a Saturday evening around 8 pm. Dinner was fantastic as it always is. Our food was delicious and the service was excellent. I would highly recommend sitting at the bar if you’re able to. It’s our favorite place to dine when the restaurant is busy.“

“Went to Mandola’s yesterday for the first time and had a wonderful experience. Everyone was super friendly. The food was amazing! Branden the manager was very nice and made sure we had everything we needed. We had a piece of the chocolate cake and some gelato which was absolutely delicious! We most definitely will be back very soon!“

“First I'm apologized to Olive Garden because they took care of me. They got my order right and there was no problems. And I should have just called and talked to somebody in the first place instead of posting a bad post. Hopefully Olive garden can forgive me and this is still my favorite restaurant.“

“Excellent service @ great food.“

“I’ve been coming since they opened and they have the best customer service and the best salads/ pizza!“

“We have been hoping for a local pizza place we can go to. We live in south Hampton so location wise it’s perfect. Good price and the food is fantastic. Highly recommend.“

“Dr. Courtney Whiting is the best that I have ever had. There is no doubt in my mind she cares about my girl. She always does what’s best for her even getting down on the floor with her to make her feel at ease. Holly has always been wonderful to as a nurse. I am 100% confident in their care for Izzy. I consider Dr Whiting Family as she takes care of what’s most important to me and does it with love, compassion, wisdom, and passion. I am so grateful to her. I would never allow anyone else to care for my Izzy except her.“

“Went to Moon Dog today for lunch. I ordered the Grilled Chicken Stromboli (no mushrooms) and an order of Fries. I was so pleasantly pleased with the food! The Stromboli was so well prepared, and tasty...the chicken was tender, the cheese was perfectly melted and the red sauce on the side was flavorful. The Fries were awesome! I know that might sound trivial, but they were prepared perfectly! - cooked just right, not too greasy and they were long, good sized fries. I put a little salt on them and they were excellent. Moon Dogs has been around for a while (we first went there probably 10 years ago). It's so good to see that the chefs have kept up their game. The 2 girls running the floor were hustling to keep up with the lunch rush and did an awesome job.“

“Thanks to our attentive and knowledgeable waiter, Sebastien we had a wonderful experience. The service, drinks and ambience were exemplary, and the food was quite good. The salmon was delicious, but the branzino was slightly overcooked. The dessert was unbelievably delicious! Overall, the flavors were tasty and we will definitely be back.“

“Long wait time and they shorted me on vegetables. Every other location gives large styrofoam to go full, this one only small baggies. Fantastic flavor though, the breadsticks were amazing and calzones were to die for, will definitely come back because everyone was chill and food is killer!“

“Tried Emangeos today for the first time! Very very good pizza. 🍕 + an awesome friendly staff. Definitely going here again.“

“Delicious! Come for the delicious pasta and pizza and stay for the gelato! Great service.“

“What a fun place, has weekly schedule of events! Has many large screen tastes to watch football or baseball games on!
Had the 18" 2 topping pizza special. Best pizza from a brick oven! Not heavy on sauce either!
Family place with video games too!

Parking: Lots of parking in evening as is only business open in strip mall!

Kid-friendliness: Fun for the whole family of a group of adults!

Wheelchair accessibility: Easy access and ample handi-cap parking spa es.“

“We had our work Christmas Party at V Pizza in Fleming Island. We had a great time! Andre the manager took excellent care of us and made our party really special. Alex made us great drinks and provided super service to us throughout the night. There is a super nice outdoor patio where we spent the evening. The live music made it so much fun! Thank you guys so much.“

“Vino’s Pizza and Italian Cuisine is an absolute gem! I’ve been eating here for many years, and every single time, they deliver nothing short of excellence. The food is consistently delicious, with the perfect balance of flavors that make you want to savor every bite. Whether it’s their mouthwatering pizza, flavorful pastas, or their rich, savory sauces, Vino’s truly knows how to deliver top-notch Italian cuisine.

But it’s not just the food that keeps me coming back – the service here is exceptional. The staff always go above and beyond to make you feel welcomed, and they genuinely care about your dining experience. It’s rare to find a place where the service is just as incredible as the food, but Vino’s hits the mark on both.

If you’re looking for a fantastic meal with friendly and attentive service,“

“Been coming here for years. Great pizza, very good crust and sauce. Delicious“

“We stopped in for lunch and the food was great (pizza and lasagna) and the service was great also, Thank you Rick! We will definitely be back. Side note my Mom and Grannie used to love coming here when my Grannie was still with us GOD Bless you Grannie ?“

“They have Brazilian and American pizza and Brazilian cuisine. Top quality, amazing flavor! So glad I discovered this place, we will be back! The Coxinhas were 10/10 🤤 we even ordered some to go!“

“I used to order Rosati's up north all the time. Now that I'm down in Florida, glad to see I can get a legit taste of home. Thin Crust Pizza, Italian Beef and Calzone, were all great!“

“Great experience! The woman on the phone was very knowledgeable and extremely nice and patient while I ordered. Been craving Cajun bread for the longest time and it definitely lived up to my expectations. Thanks hungry Howies, you guys are amazing!“
