Had dinner on a recent trip to Punta Gorda. By far this is the best Italian food in the south. I can say this being from Connecticut. This is a must stop for anyone

Have eaten at Italia before. Better than this last time. Ragu bolognese was average. Needed more sauce but the sauce was brown. I prefer red. Service was poor. No attention by server. Never refilled water glasses but was willing to provide more alcohol. We had two couples and server put whole bill on one check. Never asked how to offer the check. We will go back just because previous times food was good. However, the service was never above average.

The food was mediocre. My wife's seafood stew consisted mostly of risotto. My spaghetti carbonara was small for a pasta entree and pretty flavorless. The waitress was slow and perfunctory, and the food runner was wearing a sweatshirt and pretty much threw the food at us. On a scale of 1-10 against Carmello's in Punta Gorda it's. 1.

We came for my father-in-law’s birthday while visiting from Wisconsin and had a very good experience. We were able to snag a last second reservation and while our server was incredibly busy, he was attentive and friendly. Food was excellent and fair prices.

Our food was amazing, please don't get rid of your wonderful crunchy bread and your dip. Everything that all four of us had was absolutely delicious and Lynden are waiter was perfect.

Food was good. We got the Lasagna, Carbonata, Burrata, Tiramisu, and espresso. All delicious! That’s a soft atmosphere and looks like Italy restaurants. Simple. But the service was slowly yesterday.

Love this place. The lasagna roll is fabulous. Service is usually pretty good but the last time we went our waitress was not our usual and she was not good. Kept forgetting stuff and we were trying to celebrate my son's 21st. But everyone has an off day and I still highly recommend. ☺️
