“Oh my goodness the new pizza man is killing it! The pizza he made me was perfect!!! Never have I ever had NY style tasting pizza in all of Florida for all the 13 years I’ve been living here ! Ordered the special buffalo chicken pie and plain pie. Wow crust and dough was perfection. Taste was on point! I dont know if this place is under new management or just new pizza man, but everyone needs to try the pizza. It’s amazing!!!!!“

“My sons baseball team goes to Stuart every year for their “spring training”. My husband and I love this team and we sign up to feed the masses one day for lunch during the week we are there.Looking for good food that won’t be astronomical in price is difficult to come by. I called Dave and told him the situation. We had to feed approximately 60 people. He was incredibly kind. He suggested what would be good, easy and what would give us more bang for our buck. His generosity, knowledge and willingness to do pretty much anything to make this happen for us, did not go unnoticed.We ordered with the time we needed to pick up and he told us it was no problem, even when he had another large order along with ours that afternoon.We arrived and his restaurant was busy! (He is a popular establishment) He greeted us and had everything ready to go. He even asked if he could help bring it out!I have absolutely nothing negative to say about this experience, nor the food. The food was terrific. The boys loved it.Thank you, Dave and Salerno staff. We are so grateful for your hard work and kindness.We look forward to seeing you next year during Spring break. You have our business!!!“

“We love Pepe & Sale! The food is delicious and service impeccable! Eric is fabulous remembering us and personable with a smile. Take their recommendations, they know their food & how it is prepared.never rushed and all servers work together. Highly recommend Pepe & Sale!“

“This is a hidden gem in PSL West. I had the Grilled Chicken Panini with french fries, a choice of cucumber salad and for dessert a slice of the most delicious cannoli cake with pistachios.Food was so fresh and tasty. I found Nonna's Bistro & Cafe during a professional development near by during lunch break. It is a place worth to come back.On Saturday March 9th, 2024 they have a special event for the whole family. I recommend this place, you won't be disappointed.“

“Just a fantastic treasure of a restaurant, in the middle of an area that sorely lacks it. Chef Luca, at the helm every night, presents Italian fare exactly the way you'd expect at a good restaurant in Italy. Every course we tried was top-notch, and the ones we didn't made us want to come back. Waitstaff is also well trained, or they just have an instinct for good service. I highly recommend the place with all the stars.“

“this dinner was incredible. great service by Olga and the other staff. the food was absolutely delicious and it was so nice for both the chef and the owner to check on us personally. will definitely be back to eat and check out their events!!!“

“OUTSTANDING Catering!!!La Forchetta has been one of our FAVORITE local restaurants for many years. The food is delicious, the atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the Staff treats you like you are family, visiting your Italian Grandmother for Sunday Dinner! So, when we decided to celebrate milestone events, (30th Wedding Anniversary and 60th & 70th Birthdays) we asked our favorite eatery to cater the event. This was our first time throwing a party of this size and we had no idea of what, or how much to order. Rosalie made many helpful suggestions and the entire Staff of La Forchetta was wonderful to work with. On the day of our event, the food was delivered perfectly on time, and all the suggested food selections traveled excellently well. The appetizers, shrimp cocktail platter, cheese platters and dessert cookie platters were not only delicious but were also beautiful works of art! All our guests complimented us on the food and wanted to know where it came from. Although many of our guests had heard of La Forchetta, and knew it as, “The Italian place by Halpatiokee Park” most did not know they provided catering, and a few who had not been to the restaurant are planning to try it for dinner. We cannot thank Rosalie and the Staff of La Forchetta enough for the delicious food and service they provided to help make our event such a success. We would highly recommend anyone thinking about catering an event to seriously consider La Forchetta!“

“What an excellent place to get southern style food cooked to perfection. A little taste of home. Pleasant workers are in abundance in this establishment. Kudos to the management. Our server Nicole was the best, and on her recommendation, we will come in and try breakfast. I highly recommend stopping in and giving them a try.“

“We just ordered some heros for lunch and sent my husband in to pick up and he said he didn't want to leave! LOL lunch was fantastic and I'm so happy to have found a NY Italian deli that serves high quality food just like home!! Can't wait to order again!!“

“Anna's hits the spot! When we went, there were 8-10 different pizzas you could order by the slice. But I'd recommend branching out to the stromboli! Different filling options, and boy will it fill you up. The staff is super friendly and makes you feel at home.“

“This is a gem located off the beaten path. Very authentic selections. The pizza was one of the best we've ever had. We enjoyed the Chicken Piccata and the Bruschetta was awesome too. My wife enjoyed sitting in the sun on their little patio, too. Don't miss this place!“

“Flavored Fork is a culinary treasure in our town! Their food is unmatched in quality and flavor, and their customer service is exceptional. The team is incredibly kind, generous, and always quick to respond. They go above and beyond to ensure customer satisfaction, making them an invaluable asset to our community.Flavored Fork is truly an amazing part of our town, and we're grateful for their presence. If you're looking for unbeatable food and service, look no further than Flavored Fork—you won't be disappointed!“

“Came here with a party of 20 on a Friday night. The owner, Michele, served us. The experience was absolutely amazing. She remembered everyone’s name and she was an absolute pleasure. I highly recommend for big parties or even just a date night. The desserts are out of this world. Also, get the everything bagel seasoning on the crust!“

“We don't generally go out to a lot of Italian restaurants anymore.Because the sauce usually doesn't live up to what we grew up with... My wife's first bite and she is Sicilian and Calabrese, was a smile and the word AMAZING!! We both grew up in Italian Families comprised of immigrants. Eating here and meeting with Vincenzo. And his wife brought us back to that time period the food is amazing. The atmosphere is amazing. Vincenzo and his wife and the entire staff are phenomenal. Go to this restaurant when you want to have a great night with your family and know what it was like to grow up in an old school Italian household... Minus the loud yelling and shouting of the things that went on WHEN IT WAS PASTA Sunday.   L' Appetito Vien Mangiando“

“I recently hired Michelina's to cater my wedding in February, and I cannot express enough how thrilled I am with their service. From the moment we started planning, their team was attentive, accommodating, and truly went above and beyond to make our special day perfect.Firstly, let's talk about the food. It was absolutely delicious! Our guests couldn't stop raving about it for days after the event. Michelina's not only provided a diverse and mouthwatering menu but also took special care to accommodate guests with allergies. Everyone felt included and indulged in the tasty offerings.Moreover, the service was impeccable. The staff was professional, friendly, and seamlessly managed every aspect of the catering, leaving us stress-free to enjoy the celebration. They were attentive to every detail, ensuring that everything ran smoothly throughout the event.What impressed me the most was Michelina's commitment to excellence. They didn't just meet our expectations; they exceeded them in every way possible. It's no wonder they come highly recommended by friends and colleagues who have experienced their catering at other community events. Their stellar reputation is well-deserved.I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Michelina's to anyone in need of a caterer for their event. They truly know how to make an occasion memorable with their delectable food and outstanding service. And as for me, I'll definitely be returning to their restaurant for more of their yummy offerings in the future. Five stars all around!“

“The food here is really good! The Pizza, Calazones, sandwiches, when you walk in you can smell a little bit of Italy, and the service and friendly and fast, the place is neat and clean and every time I get somthing there I'm just blown Away!“

“We didn't realize there isn't much indoor seating or we would have called an order. It was worth the wait though. We had an antipasto salad and Meat lovers pizza. Both were so good. The salad was loaded with meats and cheese and the pizza was as well. It was literally piled with the meats. Don't pass this place by. Even the parking lot smelled amazing.“

“Five stars isn’t nearly enough. My wife and I had our small wedding on the patio here, and dinner on the back porch. The level of accommodation was truly outstanding. They were so kind and so easy to work with, we can’t thank them enough. Rose and Jodi in particular did so much to make our day great, but everyone did an exceptional job. We’re looking forward to having dinner there every time we’re in town. Can’t wait to eat here again, and again, thank you so so much!!“

“I would highly recommend coming here. We were celebrating our 2nd engagement anniversary. We got engaged when it was Pietro's and wanted to keep the tradition going for celebrating our anniversary at the same restaurant however; The Nest was even better!!! We had Mary as our server, she is outstanding!!!! The food was delicious! Narby was our server last year and he remembered us. How cool is that. Definitely check this place out.“

“When I say my family & I are foodies... huge foodies. Greek food is our favorite. From the bread to the apps to the entrees it was unbelievable. It is one of the best restaurants I've ever eaten at. We sat outside & it was beautiful. Our service was outstanding, Gabriella was super sweet & knowledgeable & if we ever come back (we are visiting from New Smyrna Beach) we will request her! 10/10 recommend!!!! Do not walk... RUN to Nostalgia! New Smyrna needs this restaurant!“

“Delicious. We were able to find something delicious for each person in our family. So good! I don't know that we'll order pizza from anywhere else going forward. The Pasta Primavera was on point, and so was the Chicken Francesca. Thanks so much for doing such a great job.“

“We were staying close by at Sandpiper Bay Resort, and were looking for an Italian Restaurant to celebrate out 17th Anniversary. We ordered Eggplant Parmigiana, Chicken Frances, Chicken Piccatta, Shrimp Scampi, and Veal Frances………..All 5 Entrees get 5 stars….We think it is the best Italian we have had in years!!!! The Best!!!! Thank You Roma!!!!“

“Always a great time here.Mary was our server and was awesome, the staff is wonderful and the food is always great. Never disappointed. Mary's helper gave me a heads up on a side of marsala for my mashed potatoes, thank you brother. God bless Caracas in stuart.“

“First visit, Jasmine & Sarah Kate at hostess stand were the beginning of an exceptional dining experience. Food, cocktails & views were exceptional but first impressions are everything & the hostesses really created the whole experience!!“

“Awesome atmosphere, kind and attentive staff, great food - we highly recommend! We were greeted immediately and seated after a short wait. There was live music, perfect volume and song selection, very enjoyable. Our server, Alfredo was delightful! He truly was the heart of our experience, what a sweet man! We are so glad we decided to check this place out while we were visiting.“

“We got food from them two times and both times the food tasted great! I got the pesto pasta both times. The first time it was amazing! The second time it was still good but extremely oily. Way more than the first time. Not sure if it was a different cook or something so that was the only reason for 4 vs 5 stars. Overall we’ll get them again and I’d highly recommend them!“

“First time in there. The place was full, there was a not long wait, but we decided to asked for a take out pizza. I'm from MA and have had some great pizza and this blew them away. Has to be the best pizza I've ever had. Will go back again. Hope to have a full dinner there soon.“

“Ate here on our weekend trip to Hutchinson island. Food was good, drinks were good but nothing that great. We got a pizza and some pasta with mushroom sauce. Pizza was good and pasta was surprisingly average for an Italian restaurant. A bit better taste and quality than olive garden but not much better. They also add a service charge on the check which I have no idea what it was for, still tipped the servers. Prices are high enough without this.We also made a reservation but were instead asked to sit by the bar on a hightop table.“

“The manager, Michael Barone, was one of the best managers Olive Garden has had in quite awhile. He went above and beyond what I expected. He took care of any problem that was not satisfactory or acceptable. He treated my friend and I like family. He's the best!!!!!Anne Puglisi“

“Pretty close to traditional chicago pizza….sauce/cheese/toppings (sausage) were terrific, crust was a little thicker than expected. Would like to have tried a chicago dog or Italian beef sandwich. We had a short wait; it was fairly crowded but service was quick. We enjoyed the back patio area. Plenty of street and lot parking.“

“Food is always good with big portions. The mussels with white wine & garlic sauce is delicious. Chicken Parmigiano is good with big portions. Pizza is delicious too. Lisa & Amanda are friendly and great. They always take time to talk whenever possible.“

“Keith and the staff were soooo friendly, it’s very clean and nice inside, the pizza was delicious !! The crust is phenomenal! Closest pizza to up north that I’ve ever had. 10/10Kid-friendliness: Accommodated our pizza party, very family oriented“

“Great little gem in downtown Stuart. Have gotten their pizza before thru the little service window but decided to take my partner to dinner and the service was marvelous, very attentive, friendly, and the food came out quick aswell. Very lovely placeParking: If it’s a busy afternoon or evening it can be difficult to find parking close to the restaurant but they do over street parking on the other side of the train tracks.“

“Great Place... don't judge it based on the outside looks!!! Our server (I believe his name was Jeff) was GREAT!!! I was HAPPILY Surprized by this place!!! Based on what it looks like outside.. I would have never gone in... A friend gave me a gift card... so I figured why not! REALLY HAPPY that I did!!!“

“So we went there for lunch the other day and got slices and garlic knots. Everything was excellent. Knots are amazing and pizza was really good. Staff was very friendly and accommodating as we only had about 20 minutes. Saturday night we placed an order for delivery. Eggplant rollatini, knots, pasta fagoli. A small calzone and mussels. Fast delivery for 6:00 on Saturday within 30 minutes. Food was fantastic. We will be back soon. We love the fact that they are open for lunch.“

“"Veronica, our friend Swampy, and I decided to swing by Renato's Italian Ristorante on Sunday afternoon for their Happy Hour, and what a delightful choice it was! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere exuded warmth, and we were greeted with genuine hospitality by the staff. Jim, our bartender, deserves special mention for his impeccable cocktail-making skills.As we settled in, we couldn't resist indulging in some of Renato's signature dishes. The lasagna was a true highlight, boasting layers of flavor that left us craving more. Even Swampy, known for his carnivorous preferences, couldn't resist and polished off every last bite. The Ahi tuna was equally impressive, tantalizing our taste buds with its freshness and exquisite seasoning. "Additionally, we couldn't overlook the garlic knots, which were simply the best we've ever had. Perfectly baked and oozing with garlic butter.Our experience at Renato's was nothing short of memorable. The combination of delicious food, attentive service, and cozy ambiance made for a perfect afternoon outing. Swampy even vowed to make Renato's his go-to spot whenever he's in the mood for Italian cuisine.If you're looking to elevate your afternoon, evening, or night with exceptional food and a welcoming atmosphere, Renato's Italian Ristorante is the place to be."“

“A great Latin spot while in Port St Lucie don't be intimidated by the location or the casual decor, it's the patrons, the staff as well as the DJ playing those Latin songs that move your feet and body. I highly recommend and will return at my next visit“

“First time stopping in there yesterday and we just wanted to get a slice of pizza the young girl serving us was awesome ( hailey?)who helped us and their slices are huge ( like 2 slices in) and they were very good amd crust was really good..we then decided to order a salad to go which we had for dinner that night and a salad was unbelievable this will be our new go to Pizza and Restaurant place...loved it!!!“

“Mangia was so Amazing in helping us support an Easter Fundraiser for Families and Children. Benefiting Safe Space Marys House and House of Hope. Enjoyed Music Bingo all the customers participated in our raffle and 50/50 games. Everyone at their tables was so pleasant. The staff and management were so helpful and happy and all around provided an excellent environment with Great Vibes and Energy! Can't wait to go back and visit again. The food and drinks were delicious! Highly recommended for Friends Families and Co-workers for a Fun Time! We Truly Thank You.“

“If you haven’t tried their Strawberry Chicken salad you’re missing out. This salad has grilled chicken, fresh greens, mozzarella, strawberries, apples & candied pecans. I paired it with balsamic vinegar dressing but they have other choices. This salad was huge! Enough for two large servings and tasted amazing. Do yourself a favor and try it!“

“I would like to say everything was perfect feom the start. We were seated promptly, served water and bread then our server Michael came over and introduced himself. He was so polite and professional. I cant say enough about Michael. And we've been to a lot of restaurants and traveled the world. Then from the salad on every was done right. Very comfortable great food and amazing polite service from Michael. He should be commended.“

“A nice and quiet place. We met up with friends after a home listing appointment. I was pleased with the tortellini alfredo (a modification from the menu). Other guests with us enjoyed a flavor filled pizza, and an eggplant Parmesan. All portion sizes were sufficient for take home boxes. The staff was excellently attentive. A local business had referred us here and we can see why! The pre-meal bread basket was unique. That may be what sets this experience apart.“

“I have never been disappointed in the pizza. Our office orders several times per month and always order the Veggie Special (love the fried eggplant on it!) and a large Cheese pie. Garlic knots are awesome, and their antipasto and other salads are extremely fresh and tasty. Their house dressing is refresing and light.“
