Open on Monday! A hidden gem in Stuart! Great Happy Hour selections. Bar is beautiful with a great view of downtown Stuart. A refreshing change from the water. Menu is reasonably priced - food is excellent. Highly recommend!

Turned us away at 9:30pm. Online says open until 10pm. I understand we were trying to come in right before close but still most restaurants will seat people up until closing. So , make sure your there I guess 1 hour before close? If you want to try this place

Very nice place to go for dinner. Classy and fairly upscale. Full bar. Outside eating available. Not a huge menu, but adequate representation of standard menu options for an Italian restaurant. Competitive, fair pricing. Food was outstanding with good sized portions. We were seated near the entrance to the kitchen, so we noticed that all of the food being delivered to diners looked delicious. Service was very friendly and attentive, but a little scattered. Manager visable, helpful to staff and very friendly. We are looking forward to eating there again very soon.

We had not been here for a very long time and will not be rushing back. Though the food was good the service was terrible. From the bartender not knowing how to make a martini, to the waiter incorrectly putting in our orders and waiting over an hour for our dinners it's just not worth it.

Went there last night for a birthday celebration. Our friends made the reservation 2 weeks before. 3 days prior they got a call that there would be an opera singer and a limited menu. That was already a disappointment. We went anyway because it’s hard to get reservations last minute on a Saturday night. Our waitress was the best part of the meal. The food is good but very overpriced. This restaurant is definitely trying to be something it is not. Would I go again No. Definitely not worth the money $315 dinner for 4

So the best thing about this place was Dan the bartender pumping out some delicious looking and tasting martinis! We tried the wedge salad which was quite tasty, the calamari which was ehh, and the swordfish which was in my opinion too salty. I would come here again but I would try other things in the hopes they were better. Seemed like a popular place all around.

My first visit to LouRonzo's for my birthday was a good experience. I thought it was strictly an Italian food establishment, but was pleasantly surprised at the varied menu selections with plenty of other options available. The wine menu had some interesting selections and we ordered a sommeliers 2019 red blend from Sonoma valley which had strong leading dark cherry accents which moderated as the wine breathed throughout the meal. I ended up enjoying it more than I initially thought I would. We started with an appetizer of meatballs which were tasty with a hearty red tomato sauce, but were disappointed the kitchen did not have the scallops which had immediately caught my eye. My wife and I shared Lou's wedge salad with creamy blue cheese and crumbles. It was the best I have had. We ordered three entre's, each was quite good. The leg of lamb, steak tips with gnocchi and vegetables, and the salmon all were delicious. I thoroughly enjoyed the food. Our server was attentive at first, but he didn't tell us initially what menu items they were out of, then forgot to place orders for some of our sides. As our meal progressed, it was difficult to catch his attention when we needed refills on drinks or to check on the progress of our sides. He, however was a quite friendly fellow. Overall, I think the experience was good, and with a little more attention to service, would be excellent. That said, I will be back for more of that savoury deliciousness!

Food and service was wonderful but the man in charge was not as kind, our waitress was speaking to me and he came over and told her that she had food up loudly, and felt that was very rude to me and to her. I would have like walking into the restaurant not into a bar area as well. But all and all very good. I would recommend and I have.

Just spent a ridiculous amount of money on food that was no better than your average diner food. First we were met with a limited menu due to an opera singer performing, you would have thought a smaller menu would mean the food would be that much better...well it wasn't. We didn't even let them place the fried calamari appetizer on the table...one look and you could see it was no better than the frozen rings sold in any grocery store. At 18.00 I expect fresh. Onto the buratta plate with brescola. The cheese was the size of a small egg and hard as a rock when you sliced into it...no creamy fresh oozing cheese as it should be. My entree at 38.00 was breaded shrimp scampi, more like over fried shrimp on mashed potatoes with a drop of sauce. It was almost inedible. The other entree was halibut that was so dry and again over cooked to the point of rock like consistency. We passed on desert since the offerings were basic key lime pie and chocolate cake. With a bill of over 200.00 we were beyond disappointed in an establishment we had heard such wonderful things about. I have no problem paying good money for a fine dinning restaurant but this was anything but. We will not be returning.

I used to love this place, but last night the food was not good. I ordered carbonara but it the bacon did not taste like pancetta. looked and tasted like bacon bits. And the onion was not onion - it was green onion scallions. Very disappointed. The Cesar salad was not good either - very bland and very little taste. For an Italian restaurant the Cesar should be very good. service was good although seems to have some new servers. I miss the Italian servers from the past.
Had dinner with my family Saturday night . We arrived a bit early . Our reservation wasn’t until 7pm but the hostess said ‘it was No Problem’. She seated us right away at a beautiful booth by the window .Already the night made! .. we ordered our appetizers and Entrees , everything came out wonderful .Portions are large . As the night went on the restaurant became pretty noisy and it became it bit hard to hear . our server was very attentive and pleasant. Service was great from start to finish . Definitely will be coming back here . Will have to try the patio next !

We arrived an hour plus before our show at the Lyric and thought that would be more than enough time but it wasn't. Our bad for not leaving plenty of time. It may have taken so long because we were seated in the bar area, the place was packed. Our bad for not making a resi and getting one of their spacious booths. This was my third time there but I confused it with Luna which is basically a low priced pizza slice place with a half hour wait for an inside crowded table, no thanks. So all that FYI.Upscale, Lou Ronzo's is worth every penny. I have not had anything there that wasn't outstanding. Alfredo was a special thin variety, creamy and cooked al dente, side of mushrooms perfect, side of broccoli the way you wish you could cook it. One expects happy hour wines to taste like happy hour wines but both the PG and Cab were really good, perfect with the irresistible warm bread we finished while we waited. Service could not have been better, bartender took our order without writing anything down (amazing), and they expedited check out with a smile.So, I'm going back when I have two hours so I can savor perhaps the best Italian food I have ever had, sorry Nonna. They say the sign of greatness is consistency and from my experience this place exceeds expectations every time.

I cannot tell you how disappointed We are with this restaurant we've been going there for four years and this year we've tried three or four times see if it redeemed itself last night was the final straw the food was ice cold the pasta was swimming in sauce and barely had any pasta we had friends from out of town who love the place and said they would never go back and neither will we. Whatever happened to the management or ownership ruined this place. The only positive thing going for them is the bartender Dan
