This is a must every time we are in the area. You can't go wrong with the pizza and I always enjoy the eggplant rollitini. The staff is super friendly and they work quickly. Stop by Genovese's for delicious Italian food!

Wow! Don't miss this favorite spot of locals/regulars! We entered this cozy, family-style restaurant with its attractive Mediterranean-style mural on the back wall. We seated ourselves and a friendly hostess, with a great smile, made us feel welcome and quickly brought menus and took our beverage order. We ordered a delicious "spinach Alfredo pizza" with spinach, obviously, Alfredo sauce, mozzarella, and pecorino Romano. What was amazing was the crust! Literally, the pizza crust was one of the best that I've ever had. I almost never eat pizza crusts, but I gobbled this one right up! It was light, crispy, and yummy! We also ordered some cheesy garlic bread for carb excess and it was good too! Not thick, gummy, dense, too doughy, etc. I'd love to return to try other items like their salads. Salads were seen making their way to other tables and they looked very fresh! This is a place often frequented by regulars. You'll probably become a regular too, after enjoying one of their pizzas!

Great pizza for Florida. We were in town from Chicago and enjoyed this pizza. It's not Chicago style, probably more like New York style.

Greeted and seated right away. Our server, Gavin, was very attentive. He answered every question…read moreand made some great suggestions. We started with the sampler appetizer platter. Very good. Everyone in our party Had something different. All the food came out together and very hot. Someone int out party had never had the lemon chicken soup. He raved about it the rest of the night. The only disappointment was the restaurant was out of the rice pudding for dessert. Great meal!

I liked the ambiance and had high hopes that the food would be something I would want to come back to again and again. I had the Greek gyro platter, because I love gyro meat and it's a good test dish. The tzatziki was good, they gyro pretty average and could have been a lot hotter. I was excited to see Greek peas on the menu, but they were quite bland with no discernible seasoning and could have been hotter too. My husband had a falafel sandwich. He thought the falafel itself was pretty good but felt the same way about the peas. Not sure that we feel comfortable coming back and trying the octopus and lamb chops. The high point of the meal was being offered a to go cup of Diet Coke.

The Holy Grail of Cheesesteaks has been located and they reside at Bubba's Bistro! We thought our…read moresearch was over but then this little gem opened in Ormond Beach. The generous thick cut rib eye steak with grilled onions and provolone on a butter griddled roll was done to perfection! After ordering and before our food arrived we were treated to "oohs and aahs" from other tables which heightened our anticipation, we were not let down and soon added our own sounds of pleasure! Everyone, from owner to wait staff to chef were friendly and generated a truly pleasant atmosphere. Jenny, our waitress, was delightful and kindly tolerated my accidentally expletive laced declaration of how good the cheesesteak sandwich is. Looking forward to trying the Meatball Sandwich and Pastrami Ruben!! P.S. If you're an unsweet iced tea fan Bubba's iced tea is an unexpected delight. Most places serve it up too weak and put it in a full glass of ice which waters it down more. Bubba's is strong but not bitter and served with half the ice so it maintains its strength.

We ordered the roast beef sandwich and a chicken Parmesan sandwich. Both were incredibly filling…read moreand very well done. I included the photos with this review. The staff there are very accommodating and extremely helpful. There are so many people that prefer low carb and you can order sandwich without the bread on a bed of lettuce which I thought was very accommodating. Bubbas bistro is one of those places if you enjoy a quiet atmosphere and a very cozy dining experience with casual menu items, this is your place! We wanted to try the meatball sandwich but it's such a popular item they were already out. We plan to go back! Very reasonable on beer and wine and they also have outdoor dining as well

We came by solely for dessert because my kids recently learned about dondurma (Turkish ice cream)…read moreand they were very curious to try it and we could not find anywhere in Virginia or D.C. that sold it, or Jacksonville or Orlando, so imagine our surprise when this tiny restaurant in Ormond Beach serves it. We swung by after dinner and ordered a few choices to split as well as a coffee for me and sodas for them. The restaurant was empty except for the lady handling the front so we got seated and ordered immediately. Everything was awesome. My relatively picky kiddos and I ended up cleaning the plates (it was tough, the portions were pretty sweet and satisfying especially for dessert so we almost couldn't finish them, but I'm no quitter!) Everything was delicious. The ice cream is really unlike anything you have had before. The desserts were so good, and the coffee was so smooth and delicious. I loved that it was served with the Turkish Delight on the side for you to chew and sip your coffee through so your coffee gets that extra layer of sweet and rose and it's just really cool. Unfortunately my kiddos discovered Turkish Delight at that moment too, so I ended up losing half of my piece to them and then had to buy more to give them at home, and now I have to worry about being betrayed to an evil witch that lives behind my wardrobe. The dessert was delicious though, highly recommend this place and I can't wait to go back and try the food too.

Food: my family and I have been here several times now and it's one of our favorites by far! Soner…read moretreats us like family each and every time and the food is incredible. Service: On point always and filled with laughter and great conversation. No rush through this dinner service like some places.?Enjoy at your own pace. Ambience: Not a sparkling new space but who cares if the experience is a 10 of 10 each and every time. A MUST VISIT!!! Cya soon Soner and Team. Cheers!
