Some restaurants surprise you with one great dish. Others deliver a memorable experience from start to finish. Our visit to Biscottis in Jacksonville's Avondale neighborhood managed to do both. We were greeted warmly when we arrived and seated immediately, and the atmosphere had a welcoming energy that made the restaurant feel like a true neighborhood gathering place. Susan ordered the Quiche Lorraine, and after the first bite we both knew it was something special. The crust was delicate and buttery while the filling was rich and perfectly balanced. It was so impressive that we awarded it our Culinary Duo Best of the Best dish recognition, which is something we reserve for truly standout dishes. Peter went in a different direction and ordered the Sweet Potato Pancakes with house made white cheddar hash browns. The pancakes were flavorful and comforting, and the hash browns were crispy with bold cheddar flavor that made them impossible to stop eating. Another thing we appreciated was learning that Biscottis carries the Slow Food First Coast Snail of Approval, recognizing restaurants that support sustainable agriculture and local food traditions. The service throughout the visit was cheerful and attentive, and the staff seemed genuinely happy to be there. If you enjoy restaurants that combine great brunch dishes, incredible desserts, and a lively neighborhood atmosphere, Biscottis is definitely worth visiting. read more

Dessert man explaining the desserts very nice. I think they just need a sign on them, though. We took out. One piece of the tropical cake was $14.50 The cake is amazing. Super moist and fresh. Worth every penny of $14.50. The place was packed. People eating dinner and taking out dessert. Ambiance was loud but pretty. Very nice. read more

This is the place for all! We love getting the pizza here but last time I ordered the scallop special and ate EVERY bite. Service is 10/10- I always greatly appreciate the servers here. Thank you Biscottis for being you! read more

The food here is absolutely delicious. As you approach the entrance, you're welcomed by the outdoor seating area. Inside, you're immediately greeted by the dessert counter, with the hostess to your right. I love the dimly lit ambiance that gives the perfect setting to enjoy your meal. One of my weaknesses is bread, and Biscotti's has the best mozzarella bruschetta. It's an absolute must-try when visiting, along with the salmon BLT. I always pair mine with sweet potato fries. I'm also a big fan of the Ortega Signature Pizza. Everything is consistently flavorful and satisfying. read more

We had Saturday morning brunch at Biscottis in the heart of Avondale. This was our third or fourth time there and I'm reasonably sure we've always been during breakfast / brunch hours. I had the Steak & Eggs. I asked for scrambled eggs, medium rare steak and smoked cheddar grits. The eggs were great and I knew I liked their grits so the question mark was the steak. The medallions were a good size and quality plus the cook temp was perfect. I've tried a few things for their brunch menu but this will probably be my go-to from here out. My wife ordered the Vegetarian Quiche and picked the Apple & Sage Chicken Sausage Links for her side. I'd tried their Quiche Lorraine previously and loved it, so I assumed she'd like the vegetarian version. She did. She REALLY loved it. We didn't get home until 8pm or so but she must've said "Wow...I REALLY liked that quiche!" about 10 times randomly throughout the day and maybe two more times after we got home. If there's any sort of chicken sausage on a menu, she's going to order it so she liked that as expected. Avondale is one of a few areas we don't eat in enough because we're always expecting a parking battle. Whenever we go somewhere like Biscottis, we're reminded that the meal is worth the parking effort. read more

It's taken me years get to Biscotti's because it's on the other side of town. Not only is this a darling little place it's located in Avondale full of walkable shops. Go for lunch like I did and then take a stroll around. I started with the tomato basil soup which was absolutely delicious. It comes with a dollop of goat cheese to swirl around in your soup. So good! Next I opted for apple dill chicken salad wrap but I changed to sourdough bread and held the cheese. The bread was really fresh and delicious. I felt the chicken salad could have used more flavor. More dill and more apple. My friend had the same sandwich and felt it needed something as well. She opted for sweet potato fries as her side and they were very good. Of course, here are the star of the show all the desserts. We opted to share bread pudding, which we both really like. It was served warm with the side of vanilla ice cream, and it was excellent. biscotti is known for their desserts and this did not disappoint. I definitely will be back. I'd love to try it for dinner. read more

Me and my girlfriends go here almost every Tuesday. Delicious drinks. I love teeny Tuesday great food.

Took my best friend here for her birthday brunch. Service was good and the restaurant was busy but not overly crowded. The waitress was friendly and attentive as well. It was pretty noisy during brunch time but the noises didn't bother us! The area was clean too. I would suggest you do a reservation because it does get crowded. We had the Brie cheese, toasted baguette, and garlic gloves appetizer. It was really good! Really liked the fruity flavors of the jam and it went well with the warm Brie, toasted garlic, and bread. The bread was warm and fluffy and we loved the roasted garlic on top. The garlic was roasted perfectly and spread like a dream! We had the house quiche and house burger. The quiche was delicious and the flavors were so jam packed into the quiche. It came with a side and my best friend chose bacon. Bacon was perfectly crisp and fried to perfection. I had the house burger and did not enjoy it. It was soggy from the aioli and the bun fell apart. It had so many flavors going on and I tasted mostly tart and sour than anything. The dressing on the arugula was the culprit and to me, it was way too tangy for the burger. I would not get the burger again. I got the fries and they were hot, crispy, golden, and tasted great! We also got German chocolate cake Togo and the cake tasted great (chocolate, pecans, and coconut flakes) but it was dry in some areas. The areas with a lot of frosting weren't dry and it tasted divine and not too sweet. Overall, we would come back again but probably try other things. It wouldn't hurt to try this place out! They had lots of desserts too and I heard the bread pudding was divine! read more

We dined in without a reservation and were seated promptly. We made it in time for the happy hour specials and enjoyed the tater tots most of the bunch. They were crispy with a lightly spicy dipping sauce. The sandwiches came on beautifully soft bread. The burgers were okay but the fried zucchini sandwich was exceptional although the cheese wasn't as hot as it could have been so it wasn't melty. The risotto was well cooked and nicely portioned. The salad was large and the cauliflower soup was topped with a cranberry butter that stood out. Our server was kind and attentive despite the busy restaurant. Overall we enjoyed the experience and would dine in again read more

This place has been in my list for a while. Some friends and I decided to visit for brunch to celebrate a birthday. We had reservations and was seated promptly. Our waitress was awesome and made great recommendations. I settled on a half portion of the crème brûlée French toast and it was amazing. No syrup needed. The house made sausage was well seasoned. My friend decided on the omelette with gross and hash browns cake. The grits were great and the hash brown cake was to die for. Um fortunately she returned the omelette as it was not seasoned well. My other friend went for the steak and eggs and she enjoyed it immensely. read more

Favorite brunch in Jax - the white cheddar ranch hash brown is a must! Definitely make reservations.

Went to biscottis during brunch 10am on Sunday. I ordered an omelet and my husband ordered sausage biscuits and gravy. We ordered coffee upon arrival and Shannon(awesome server) made it perfectly! Off to a good start, so I thought. Me and my husband were enjoying our coffee that we weren't tracking how long we were waiting, but then our bellies started growling. We realized we had been waiting for 45 minutes and nothing. So we waved our server down and she looked into. She said we had a few more orders ahead of ours. Our food arrived to the table 15mins later and we were excited just to be able to eat! We took one bite of our food to discovered I food was luke warm/cold. So disappointing especially when we've been waiting an hour for 2 small plates. We let our server know. Now they took our plates and brought out food 5 mins later. I notice that all they did was heat up my food( I know this because I took at bite of it) they said that's what they normally do, I said not acceptable also the food still hasn't hot and fresh. The finally brought me was supposed to be fresh food and still barely warm. Me and my husband ate enough to say we ate and wanted to leave. We asked to speak the manager and he down played their mistakes. Didn't want to compensate us. We will not be returning. Also, I think most of their food is premade. read more

Stopped by for dessert to go on a Saturday night around 8. It was busy, and several staff still found time to ask if I'd been helped. I eyed the case of desserts up front, and was given a menu and I promptly moved to the side to make my choice. They had my dessert boxed up within minutes and I was on my way! See the picture from my car... it was as beautiful as it was delicious. Folks, that slice of Pink Champagne cake was perfect! The vanilla cake complements the raspberry creaminess between the layers. The buttery richness? The crunchy sugar? Oh yessss! Decadence! read more

One night after a hockey game in town, we stumbled up across this place. We were gonna go to the mellow mushroom across town, but we noticed that this place so it's open super late. They were able to see six people right away and it was like 10 PM. This restaurant is so romantic and has the most adorable date night vibes. We didn't have any expectations for this place, but once we took our first bite of our meals, everything tasted way better than we thought. My husband's burger was delicious, It had a great sauce on top. The waitress was so sweet. My aunt and I was sharing a meal and she split up the meal for us into two plates. We ordered the meatloaf sandwich and it came with a pesto pasta. And what really caught my eye walking into this place was their case of homemade cakes. We tried the raspberry cream cheese, and we tried the cappuccino mousse cake. Such a hidden gem and can't wait to visit and try some more items on the menu read more

We decided to stop at this bustling restaurant while traveling through Jacksonville. While on the road, I called ahead to make a RSVP. We arrived to the area and had to travel around the block a few times to look for street parking. We finally parked, walked in, and were seated right away. It did take some several minutes for a server to greet us, but by the time he showed up, we were more than ready to order our entire meal. I ordered the Sweet Potato Red Pepper Soup. It was naturally sweet and a very thick pudding-like consistency. I thought it tasted and looked like baby food. I think I would have appreciated a thinner consistency and a more savory balance. I was not a fan. I also decided to order the "TMB" Salad (marinated tomatoes, mozzarella medallions, & balsamic vinaigrette). The salad was a very generous portion. The fresh basil added a nice taste to the salad. But the stand-out ingredient was the tasty, house-made balsamic vinaigrette. This delicious dressing gave the rather simple salad an edge! Hubs enjoyed his veggie omelet with sides of bacon and smoked cheddar grits. All in all, this was a very pleasant lunch stop before continuing in our travels. I would definitely like to come back to this quaint historic area and browse the shops, boutiques, and other eateries. read more

Always great to visit Biscotti's. They are consistently one of the best brunch spots in the Riverside/Avondale area. There is indoor and outdoor seating and they're popular. You'll want to make a reservation. The interior is both casual and elegant. Sitting outside feels like a true cafe. Great decor, great atmosphere. Service is always great and I've never had anything that wasn't a home run. Prior, I've had their Omlette, their amazing hash browns, the steak salad is the best of its kind anywhere, and this weekend I tried the Zucchini sandwich. The zucchini was lightly fried, fresh mozzarella, the perfect roll and their house seasoned fries are really tasty. Just an impeccable sandwich. Try to save room for dessert here because they have amazing cakes. I've had their carrot cake here multiple times and it's incredible. If you haven't tried Biscotti's, I highly suggest you do. You'll be glad you did. read more

Great service, delicious food, easy online reservations, and amazing dessert selection makes Biscottis one of our local favorites. Variety of seating options with bar seating, booth/chair small tables by the bar, a variety of tables throughout the dining room, and outside sidewalk tables as well. Last minute Saturday lunch for two, made a quick resy and luckily found parking pretty quickly. Bonnie was our server and wonderful throughout, especially making sure our waters were always refilled. My steak was cooked perfectly on my salad and it was still delicious after omitting the crispy potatoes. My husband enjoyed the fried zucchini sandwich with creamy burrata and minus the mayo. Always a great meal, even when we skip the dessert tour! read more

Biscottis is always a great place for coffee and dessert. Our server was very tentative and super funny! I wish I would have remembered her name but she was amazing!! We sat outside as it wasn't too hot or cold this weekend and enjoyed some people watching, a great sunset and some amazing dessert. They have a case FULL of tasty desserts and treats to choose from and if you are interested in ordering dinner they have. A pretty extensive and delicious menu. We definitely recommend stopping by and at minimum having desserts. read more

Solid choice for lunch or date night in Avondale. Cute and cozy ambiance. Great selection of huge cakes and cheesecake when you walk in. It was my first time eating dinner here and I was pleasantly surprised. Highly recommend the Korean BBQ short ribs which were so tender that the meat just falls off and the white rice was very fragrant. Charcuterie board was amazing too. Tip: if you ask for water with no ice, the water won't be naturally chilled. It will be warm fyi read more

Went to Biscotti's for a girls' lunch and overall had a nice time. The drinks were good, the vibe was okay, and the staff was professional and very accommodating to our group of six.

It's a cute spot, especially if you've got a sweet tooth, the dessert case is worth a peek. read more

Place was packed around 2 on a Sunday--server estimated a 25-30 minute wait for the couple ahead of me. Luckily, the bar was open, so I was able to grab a seat immediately. Bailee, my server, was friendly and attentive and offered a solid brunch recommendation. Went with her suggestion, the sweet potato pancakes, with bacon and fresh fruit on the side. The pancakes were fantastic, not excessively sweet, just a hint of sweet potato flavoring. Fruit was good. Didn't love the bacon, but I'm real picky about that. Cozy little spot and there are plenty of shops nearby to check out while you're in the neighborhood. read more

Place was busy. Glad we got reservations for biscottis. Didn't care for reservation app they use so ended calling the restaurant to set up reservation. Was seated in bar area so it was noisy and had a hard time listening. That's all the down stuff. The service was good. Ordered a Ruben sandwich and this was by far one of tge best Rubens I've had. Corned beef can be tough but this was very tender. And the fries were excellent. Anna got the steak salad. She enjoyed. Drinks to start off. At the end shared a carrot cake dessert and this slice was HUGE. and very moist. Worth saving room for it. Biscottis is a nice place. Heart of Avondale area. Great area to walk and people watch. Got to try it. If possible... don't sit in the bar area. read more

Biscottis was delicious! We happened to come upon this gem after leaving a hockey game close by. It was such a cute and cozy place that was modern and nicely decorated. I tried the open face meatloaf sandwich with pesto pasta! It was very flavorful and a great portion size. My niece had the smash burger and Caesar salad. The waitress was very knowledgeable and patient. She was able to explain everything in detail and was also a bartender there so she was able to suggest drinks to our liking. For dessert we tried the cappuccino pie and wow it was a nice ending to our magnificent meal! Definitely will be returning when I visit Jacksonville again! read more

It's been a couple years since I've stopped by for brunch! It used to be my go-to! Normally I am a big fan of the French toast, but wanted to switch it up and tried the house made Salmon Gravlax. Glad I did. Bagel and lox at its fancy best. I would say it was just a bit too heavy on the tomatoes (easily resolved - I just removed a bit) but otherwise great. A crunchy red onion and very fresh dill was just what I was craving! I would say (and I try not to judge because everything is so dang expensive now) that this was maybe a bit overpriced though as good as it was. I did also decide to be an absolute glutton and got a side of the French toast (mascarpone with the light orange zing is still as delish as always), and a side of bacon (excellent, crispy in the right way). I also had coffee, which was good, and then an Irish coffee which was even better! My dining companion had the quiche. She said it was good! I did not sample, so take her word for it. Same for the hash brown! She also has a mimosa, which I did sample and it was well balanced - not too much champagne, not too much OJ! Our server was wonderful, the right amount of attentive (not overbearing, but also not MIA). He was also helpful discussing menu items and just all around a pleasant human. I feel like the ambiance just was very blah. And maybe this is just me - and this is why 4 stars instead of 5 for me today - but they just don't seem to have the "extra touches" they had previously. I mean this in the food and the mood of place. It used to feel like an experience coming here, and now just... going out to eat. read more

Biscotti's is definitely one for the books. I went there with some friends for Sunday brunch. We came as a walk-in and had to wait over an hour for a table. I would definitely recommend reserving a table for this restaurant as they quickly seat their guests who have reservations. I ended up ordering the sweet potato pancakes with the house-made sausage and the hashbrowns. EXCELLENT! Would recommend this to anyone who is on the fence between options. The house-made sausage definitely took me by surprise by its freshness and great flavor. Everything that I had on this plate was a 10/10. If you're in doubt, you won't regret choosing this restaurant. read more

Food service was great. It is a cozy spot on St. John in Avondale. Very nice menu. I had the burrito with black beans, eggs pico. It had great flavor.

Really enjoyed. read more

My niece and her boyfriend took my sister and I here for mothers day brunch! OMG! The food and bakery items were fabulous. The servings were huge and we got to bring home dinner and dessert as well. I had Sweet potato pancakes and a slice of peanut butter mousse cake for dessert and lots of mimosas. We had awesome service anf the place is so cute on the inside. It's located in a historical area of Jax called Avondale. After brunch we went for a little walk and explored some of the local shops that were open. This made for a wonderful Sunday afternoon. I highly recommend Biscottis for a meal or a take out bakery item such as a cake for a special occasion! read more

We had a lovely dinner here. I went for the pizza and it was delicious. I was only disappointed by how much grease was under the pizza. I soaked up two full napkins and could have used one or two more. With that said, the flavor was great. My husband enjoyed his gnocchi. The cake was good too! My friend got the red velvet and I have to agree I like that one better. The nuts on top didn't really do anything for me. Could use some spice or salt. Their carrot cake is really good too. read more
