The waitress did a great job explaining and her recommendations were spot on! We started off with the bruschetta. It was very fresh and layered with flavors! We then ordered the Salsiccia Italiana (Mozzarella, Sausage, basil, olive oil, sea salt) and the Crepa (Mozzarella, bacon, basil, garlic, balsamic glaze, olive oil, sea salt). We both agreed the the Crepa was our favorite but they were both very good! The Italian sausage was very flavorful. We ate half of each pizza and saved room for dessert. Our waitress recommended the S'mores with added cookie dough. It was so yummy and worth the calories! We love supporting these type of specialty restaurants in St Joe. We will definitely be back!

Being used to Kansas City staples like Garozzo's and Cascone's, we were excited to give it a try, but unfortunately, it didn't quite live up to the high rating hype. ​ ​The Atmosphere & Service: The space was clean and the waitstaff was incredibly warm, nice, and welcoming throughout our meal. ​Drinks & Extras: They have a great wine selection! However, keep in mind they don't have a full physical bar, so non-wine options such as beer and spirits come from a can. Bread is also a separate purchase and doesn't include an olive oil dipping sauce nor did they bring out or have any fresh ground pepper or parmesan cheese which is a bit of a sin with our meals. Note: I did get a pepper shaker, but it poured heavy like a cheap bottle of wine... Lucky for me. I'm a pepper fan. My Entree: I tried their signature Tagliatelle pasta with meat sauce. While the flavor was definitely there and the pasta was cooked just past al dente (which I didn't mind), the sauce was quite runny on the plate. ​The Price: Very reasonable--it definitely won't blow a hole in your wallet! ​The Verdict: ​While the hospitality and prices are great, the food just missed that "chef's kiss" quality I was hoping for. It's a nice spot, but overall it felt a bit overhyped compared to top-tier Italian dining.

Wish we had just one more piece of garlic bread to eat with it! It was exactly what I was expecting. The pasta carbonara had a nice meaty flavor throughout from the guanciale. My husband loves meat so he added an Italian sausage which it really did not need. But I'm glad he did because the piece I stole from his plate was amazing with the tastiest char. I want to go back just for a side of Italian sausage. As for the wood fired lasagna... it was good. I saw reviews where people said it was the best they've ever had. I can't say the same. When the description says sweet marinara or sweet red sauce, believe the sweet part. This sauce is SWEET. It's definitely oriented for those who eat and love a lot of sugar. I personally think if it had a splash of béchamel on top to counterbalance the sweetness, it would be better, but that would totally change the dish. I'd DEFINITELY try their white lasagna anytime if they ever have that on special. The pistachio butter Panuozzo Dolce is pretty much exactly how it looks. Think of the pistachio butter just like peanut butter in texture. It's just green instead of brown, and tastes of pistachios instead of peanuts. It's wood fired dough and the pistachio butter. I think it needs some whipped cream on top to jazz it up. I'll try the tiramisu next time! I appreciate the decent priced bottles of wine. One thought on the decor (which is pretty cool), is that it would be really nice for those patrons sitting facing the big black wall, hanging some big black framed mirrors would be fabulous so we have something to look at besides our table mates. We will be back.

Fazoli's is probably one of the best "fast food" restaurants out there. If you want something to eat at home, the drive-thru is speedy and gets the order right [most of the time], with breadsticks hot and ready. In the restaurant, the service is very good. Albeit, the tables can be a bit unclean at times, but that's mostly only on busy nights, in which they'll clean it as quickly possible. Your meals get brought out quickly, and it's nice and warm. If you ever run out of breadsticks, you can get more, free of charge. And the majority of the employees are quite pleasant! The food itself has great quality. They're certainly not stingy when it comes to sauce, although sometimes you aren't given many veggies [at least for broccoli on the side]. However, it's a good amount of food otherwise. If you purchase a full meal rather than just an entree, you get a drink and either a slice of pizza or a salad. To me, this is a good deal. Overall, like any restaurant, Fazoli's has its occasional flaws, such as the tables being unclean when it's really busy or cutting you short on the sides sometimes, but most of the time, it's quite spectacular for a fast food restaurant, and has some of the best pasta I've ever had.

The space is on the small side and you may have to wait a bit. Totally worth it. It's true the food is unlike any Mexican fare you've likely had. That's because they cook things in lard. And it results in some great food. The tortilla chips and hot cheese dip (or salsa, avocado dip, spicy bean dip or beefy cheese dip) will have you wondering if you weren't served pastry instead. They serve the best tacos I've ever had anywhere. Yes, they will charge extra for cheese. So what? The only non-punitive deficit is that they don't offer a fajita plate. Which is why next time in I'm going to take the Fajita Burrito for a test drive. I live in Kansas City and will make the drive in a heartbeat. Again and again. Trust me.
