    Needed a meal after our abysmal dinner

    A uniquely poor dining experience. Our two starters were acceptable but had no wow factor. We tried 3 pastas after. Of the 3 two were utterly flavorless. This was alarming as one was a veal bolognese type and the other garlic/clam/vongole. These are classic dishes and for them to be abysmal is radically disappointing. As a final insult the corkage fee is higher than published on their website. They did nothing to remedy the situation and we were presented our inflated bill. Service was poor. Never again! Left so hungry need to buy fried chicken!

    Veal scallopini, so lemony and delish

    After leaving, I did a quick search and learned that the chef/owner previously had a restaurant in…read moreLong Island, NY. That made perfect sense, I immediately loved the ambiance as soon as I walked in, even before trying the food or experiencing the service. I frequent many places in Long Island and really enjoy that style, so it felt familiar in the best way. We had a wonderful waitress, and the entire staff stood out for being genuinely kind and attentive, not just at our table, but throughout the restaurant. As a thoughtful gesture, they even removed the Kir Royale drinks from our bill since we didn't enjoy them much. We hadn't expected that at all, and it really showed how much they care about their customers. Every dish we tried was excellent. The calamari appetizer and the pesto gnocchi entrée were particular highlights for me. This is definitely a place I've added to my list for when I'm back in Florida. Highly recommend stopping by and experiencing it for yourself!

Prompt seating and drink order taken from Austin our waiter. He was very good and provided excellent suggestions when asked. Party of 8 Sat dinner. Very good crowd. Austin provided daily specials and a verbal description of a non written menu items such as chicken Parm which was fantastic. Large fresh hot portion that was yummy. Halibut special was popular in our group and all had positive remarks. Very good spot- looking forward to next visit.

    Awesome spot, happy we finally checked it out! It's small and intimate and the food was delicious…read more It's the perfect date night! It appears they do two seatings, 5pm and 8pm. We made a 8pm reservation and arrived a few minutes early, so we grabbed some wine and headed outside. For some reason, the bartender wasn't friendly at all towards our group, but I'm letting that slide. Anyway, when we sat down, they immediately brought us a bread basket that included their homemade focaccia bread and butter, which was wonderful. For appetizers, we split their meatballs and their zucchini fritters. The fritters were incredible. The dishes looked huge, so we split two dishes between the four of us. The chicken francese had a ton of flavor, it did taste like an old school NY/NJ spot. It was 100% on point. After our meal, they gave us a bit of lemoncello and homemade Italian cookies, which were fabulous! Service was good too. (Please note, it's beer and wine only). Also, there isn't much of a bar, (we weren't sure before we arrived). Had a great experience though!

We ordered calamari and meatballs as our app and neither knocked our socks off. The meatballs needed more sauce / flavor. The calamari does come with peppers. We got the branzino special and that was the only thing special about it. Our waiter was amazing and very friendly. The best thing we had all night were the cookies. This is not an old school red sauce Italian type place if that is what you are looking for. Overall I'm not sure we would return because it's not our style.

The food overall was okay, but not particularly memorable. We tried the eggplant rollatini, lobster ravioli as an entrée, and fried calamari as an appetizer. For salads, we had the beet salad with fried cheese and the house salad that came with the ravioli. While everything was decent, none of these dishes really stood out. The pizza, however, was a highlight. We ordered the Meat Lovers, Margherita, and cheese pizzas, and all were very good. It also seemed to be the most popular choice, as many of the tables around us had ordered pizza as well. I'd likely return to give it another try, especially for the pizza.

    10/10 - One of the Best Italian Meals I've Had in Florida…read more I don't usually write long reviews, but Vulcanos Italian Restaurant absolutely earned it. From the moment we walked in, it felt like one of those rare local spots where everything is made with love and completely from scratch. You can taste the difference in every single bite. We started with the wedge salad, and it was perfect -- crisp, fresh, chilled lettuce with the right balance of toppings and dressing. It was way bigger than expected (portions here are no joke), but every bite had amazing flavor. It's honestly one of the best wedge salads I've had anywhere. Next, we ordered a gluten-free pizza, and I was blown away. Gluten-free pizza is usually hit or miss, but theirs tasted like real, authentic pizza with that homemade texture and flavor. The crust had that perfect balance of crispy and chewy, and you could tell it was made in-house and not something pre-packaged. Easily the best gluten-free pizza in the area -- maybe anywhere. But the star of the night was the lobster ravioli. Absolutely incredible. You can tell it's homemade the moment you cut into it. The pasta was soft and fresh, and the filling actually had real chunks of lobster instead of the usual "barely-there" filling most places give you. The sauce was rich, creamy, and absolutely addictive. If you come here, this dish is a must-try. On top of the food being amazing, the service was warm, friendly, and attentive without being overbearing. You can tell the staff really cares about their customers and takes pride in what they serve. Also, the best vodka sauce I've ever had in my life, better than in Italy! Super homey ambiance! If you want real, homemade Italian food served with big portions, great service, and authentic flavor, this is 100% the place. We left full, impressed, and already planning what we want to try next time. Highly recommended -- 10/10 experience

    The Hungry Poet is back baby!! (I love being Yelp Elite…read more I've just been busy!) "The Salty Zebra blew me away, The Black Grouper entree made my entire day. The burger was seasoned and the patty was fat, But those home made desserts....whooo that's where it's at!" This meal/dining experience brought me to Yelp immediately. I was excited y'all! The Salty Zebra (picked it b/c of good reviews and proximity to Barnes and Noble in Tequesta) They cover the basics extremely well: greeted with kindness and professionalism, seated promptly, and approached immediately by a wonderful server. I won't spend time here just know you will not be disappointed with the service and it was beyond pleasant. Apps Burgundy Escargot (Pernod Garlic-Parsley Butter) We asked for a recommendation from the appetizer section of their menu (perfect amount of selections by the way...I despise an encyclopedic menu). We were thinking escargot and we were so pleased that it was recommended...that sealed the deal. It was garlicky and buttery and served with the perfect white bread. Spot on. Entrees were freaking fantastic! Florida Black Grouper (Creamed Kai Kai Farms Mustard Greens, Colab Farms Glazed Carrots, Carrot Marmalade) I never order grouper. I go out of my way to order it because I don't enjoy white fish usually. Something spoke to my spirit (plus our amazing server highly recommended it) and I went against my natural inclination. Lawd have mercy I'm glad I did. That grouper was perfectly seared, flaky, flavorful and completed excellently by the mustard greens and carrots. I do t know what the sauce was in the plate but it was savory a bit earthy in the best possible way with a twinge of sweetness that made me want to lick the plate ‍ (hey I'm from Mississippi...we do that ). Needless to say there wasn't a morsel of food left in my plate. Other reviews complained about small portions. I beg to differ it was a perfect portion, and I have a biiiiig appetite. (I am the hungry poet after all! I enjoy experiencing three full courses and not being miserably full by dessert.) Bistro Burger (1/2 LB CBS Blend, Gruyere, Sweet & Sour Onions, Au Poivre Sauce, Parmesan Potato Wedges) Boyfriend got the burger. It was great--I am well loved so I got the first bite lol Patty was thick and moist and seasoned! I was impressed that they didn't stay away from seasoning with this burger. We suspect it could have even been prepared sous vide then seared because of how evenly cooked it was. Our server was even kind enough to bring ketchup for the potato wedges. Dessert LET ME FIRST SAY: the second dessert (chef's special) was complementary. I don't know why? Good karma maybe? Speaking of the chef... Chef Michael was working that dining room. ‍ He walked by our table and asked if everything was okay. Not realizing he was the chef we asked for a little more bread to sop up the escargot butter. He brought the bread out a few minutes later himself and was super polite. He introduced himself and I was impressed that he was so personable. He stopped by two more times to check on our entrees and desserts. I love an involved chef. I have a couple friends who are Executive Chefs in pretty swanky places and I love to see that bar being met. Especially as a Yelp Elite reviewer. You know how most people can't wait to write reviews when they're pissed. I can't wait to write reviews when my socks are knocked off. Back to dessert... Chocolate banana I love banana desserts. Some might be biased but this dessert was oooooooh wee deliciously special. I don't have the description because I think desserts change weekly/daily etc but trust me... GET IT! If you like bananas chocolate and caramel get it! Homemade S'more When I said made in house I mean it! The marshmallow the graham cracker all of it! It was rich and decadent and it blew me away. I'll be thinking about these desserts for a while. And again I don't t know what we did to get a free one but Chef Michael brought both out himself and I felt the "we go the extra mile" vibe. It was crystal clear. Sounds like I'm using hyperbole but I swear I'm not. Decor and ambiance was beautiful. Wasn't loud at all. Hands down a perfect dinner experience. We had been walking in the hot sun all day after this impromptu trip to Stuart and even in leggings and a T-shirt we felt comfy and welcomed. Thanks another review giving it to you straight no chaser from The Hungry Poet aka Elizabeth S. aka Lizz . Enjoy!

The balsamic enhanced all the flavors, as opposed to overpowering at other places I've gotten. My husband and I chose to split the Gnocchi Sorrentina and the Sole Francese and really enjoyed both dishes. The sole was cooked perfectly and the francese sauce was light and lemony. The gnocchi was definitely the winner in my book. Creamy, cheesey, and light tomato-ey goodness! And luckily, portions were very generous so I was able to take some home to enjoy the next day for lunch! We opted for a dessert as well. They have a few flavors of Tartufo (vanilla, chocolate, and pistachio), and we all chose to share a pistachio. The perfect ending to a delicious meal!! Our server, Jordan, was so friendly and efficient, and we also got to meet and chat with Lance, the GM! Such a welcoming environment. We are so looking forward to returning the next time we are in town!!

The place used to be a sports bar, and while they've upgraded the tables and added a full bar, the overall layout still screams "game day." Plenty of TVs line the walls, which feels a little unusual for an Italian restaurant, but hey, if you like watching the game while enjoying a good slice of pizza, it's not a bad setup. Speaking of pizza, I went for the Carnivore Pizza, and it did not disappoint. Loaded with toppings, great crust, and just the right amount of cheese--definitely a solid choice. My companion had the Antipasto Salad, which was a fresh and flavorful mix of greens, tomatoes, roasted peppers, garbanzo beans, salami, and provolone, all tossed in a tangy red wine vinaigrette. Both dishes were well done, and you could tell they put some thought into their ingredients. Now, here's the part that had me feeling a little bad for them--we were the only customers there for lunch on a weekday. It's a new spot, so I really hope they get more traction because the food and service deserve a crowd. Prices were very reasonable, with lunch coming in at under $20 per person, which is a steal for the quality. Parking is plentiful. Overall, I'd definitely come back, maybe for dinner when there's (hopefully) more of a buzz. The food was excellent, the service was attentive, and the prices were fair.
