10 Best Italian Restaurants near Placida

“My wife and I stopped in here on a whim last week for a quick glass of wine. We spoke to many regulars who raved about the food and every staff member we encountered was incredibly friendly. We did not eat during this stop but we're definitely going back the next time we're in the area.“

“The food was fantastic. Freshly made in-house. We had the veal parmesan. So good! The servers help each other, so we never had to wait for "our" server. Indoor seating or outdoor. We were thrilled to find this gem of a restaurant.“

“Sisters! Wow! Great food. Fun outdoor atmosphere. Deck dining with umbrellas for shade. Indoor atmosphere seems old school and clique-would recommend seating outside. Menu has great Italian fare offerings. Lots of apps, salads and entrees. Our server Jax was amazing!! It was a busy Saturday. Takeout was happening and all tables were full! We were a large party and he more than accommodated all of our requests, he was generous, helpful and happy. The other servers and hostesses we encountered looked miserable and acted so- we were so pleased to have Jax! Calzone, pizza, tuna salad, Cesar salad, chicken Parmesan, all tasted great! The dipping oil is very tasty to accompany the bread prior to the meal. Would definitely come back here next time we are in Boca Grande“

“Excellent food and service. Ordered take out this evening, the weekly special, it was to die for. Veal, prosciutto, artichoke and mushrooms in a marsala sauce. Will definitely be ordering more take out.“

“This is a bustling Italian restaurant and when it is bursting at the seams you know it’s going to be good! The wait was a bit lengthy but while waiting everyone who worked there was checking on us. Once seated things moved quickly and the food and drinks are plentiful. Food is authentic and made individually to order. Everything is delicious. Seating is crowded but it’s ok.We are definitely going back!Parking: Parking available on both sides of the building.“

“Thank you Stefanos for the best food drunk of the year. Tender Turkey , sausage stuffing , mashed potatoes and gravy and string beans. Topped off with Apple pie. It was wonderful. I gobbled till I wobbled. Two thumbs up 👍“

“Truly delicious food and a wonderful experience. We are hoping many will support Nicola's by ordering from their food truck. Here's hoping their permits will be approved quickly so we can all enjoy their full service soon!“

“Scarpa's Coastal Restaurant on Boca Grande is a true hidden gem!The food was in one word, INSANE!!The mini crab cake for an appetizer was truly amazing! Our meal was one to remember and we will return. Owner Ashley, manager Sarah and their team are exceptional in hospitality. A must visit!“

“This location made me a super fresh Greek salad and the staff were very friendly and courteous. Hot, fresh and plenty of toppings for this price point. It’s rare to find such genuinely sweet people working behind the counter anywhere. It got my attention and we were happy with our decision to go with Howie’s for a cheap meal!“

“We have made memories at La Stanza throughout the years. We've made those memories with our dear friends and our romantic dinners together, the little table beside the railing. Thank you Bill. The bartender you've served us very, very good drinks and we thank you for that. You're the best. And lastly, but not least, thank you for all the wonderful meals. The deliciousness of it, the thought that went into in the hands that prepare them. Enjoy your retirement. You've earned it! ❤️❤️❤️❤️“
