    a half eaten sandwich
    Todd D.

    Kelsey's Pizzeria, 1954 U.S. 1 Rockledge, Florida 32955- 1-Star (Chain Restaurant Rating) The original Kelsey's Pizzeria & Eatery was founded in 1983 in Titusville by a local guy, Nick, as a small local family business. Having considerable success, he franchised a few other Kelsey's throughout North Brevard. This particular franchisee on US-1 in Rockledge has a second on North Courteney Parkway in Merritt Island according to its website. Additionally, you can find a couple of other Kelsey's in Port St. John, and Cape Canaveral, if you are so inclined to check them out. Assuming they are like this one, I'm not. How many different boxes of pasta and pizza dough exist through purveyors? Countless, I'm sure. It's always the same. Most likely the least expensive. Hence the reason Italian restaurants become more and more tedious. No one makes their own dough and lets it rise overnight anymore. I don't care what anyone tells you. Fresh homemade risen dough would cut into the margin, meanwhile pizza remains the highest profit food item in the world next to bottled water. Many a stoner and those among the zaftig couch-potato set will tell you that all pizza is good pizza as long as it's smothered in cheese and pepperoni and delivered to their face. Not for this guy. At the Rockledge location, we were met by a pleasant server named Hayley who got all my inside comments. Something I often find lacking in a waiter. As usual, however, despite a direct request to box up my leftovers, she declined. So, I asked her who typically boxes up the take-out orders. She confessed, well...her. Yeah. Not the greatest of all time. The menu here was not diverse, just your typical Americanized pseudo-Italian fare. I ordered my baseline Fettuccine Alfredo, my point of comparison for evaluating the level of any ristorante's pasta game. Kelsey's fettuccine compared poorly. It literally had zero taste. Not even the creamy taste typically associated with Alfredo sauce. Alfredo di Lelio, owner of Alfredo on Via della Scrofa in Rome, who lovingly invented this dish of fresh-egg fettuccine with butter and parmesan--Fettuccine all'Alfredo--to nourish his pregnant wife in 1907, would be rolling in his grave. My second choice from the menu was a meat calzone with sausage, pepperoni, and ham. It was a dismal wreck of food. The calzone bread was the Sysco pre-rolled ball one thaws out and massages. The ingredients would have to have been stepped up to even be considered crappy. The Big Boy says, "Between ugh service and low-grade ingredients there are SO many better pizza options in Brevard. Skip the Kelsey's in Rockledge."

    Always a pleasure to be able to write a glowing review. From being wonderfully welcomed by one of…read morethe co-owners, Herman, to being taken care of by the humorous Neil, the service was great, but easily outmatched by how delicious the food and drinks were. The strawberry basil sangria and warm, homemade bread with special butter barely prepared us for how tasty our time at Tuscany was set to be. While I enjoyed all the food I tasted, including my Short Rib Genovese, of particular praise must go to the calamari and amaretto pound cake. Both were extraordinarily light, flaky, and satisfying to the tongue. I also must commend the design and aesthetics of the place, truly making us feel transferred to Italy. As really, that is my only criticism: the facility is sited in a strip mall center (which admittedly, is somewhat out of its control) that contributes to detrimental automotive-focused suburban design - especially by its impervious paving and vehicular circulatory areas and parking in what should be contributing to a denser, walkable, multi-modal environment. That at the service would do better to be a bit more attentive, but as a former server, I know all too well the challenge of being overworked and understaffed.

    This was our third visit to Amici's and I can't believe that I hadn't given a review…read more In short "We highly recommend this place!" Superb in every aspect. From decor, ambience, cleanliness, climate, but service and food? That was exceptional. We didn't have it this visit, but you must try the Tortellini soup, it is amazing. We didn't opt for appetizers on this visit, mainly not to over do it. The fresh baked bread and olive oil/herb and garlic mix more than made up for that. That salad that came with the entree what so good and full of vegetables. Lettuce (of course) black olives, green olives, tomatoes, cucumbers, red cabbage, croutons with a vinaigrette that was the perfect blend. Our entree was the special of the evening, which was ground sausage bolognese rigatoni. This was a flavor bomb. Probably the best Italian dish I've had. If you don't go, you're missing a great meal. Every time we're in the area, we make this place part of our planning. You'll love it. We sat at the bar and Toni took exceptional care of us. She made the experience awesome.

    Great Food and Even Better Service…read more I've been to Amici's several times, and while I haven't always been completely wowed, this visit was definitely a great one, especially because of our server, Brandon. We had a pretty demanding family with us, and Brandon did an amazing job. He was attentive, patient, and had great wine recommendations. His service was truly top notch and made the whole experience so much more enjoyable. As someone who loves onions and garlic, I can't recommend the Tartufo di Amici Sacchetti enough. It was absolutely delicious and packed with the flavors I love. I also really enjoyed the Salsiccia Fatta in Casa. Overall, a really enjoyable visit. Huge thank you to Brandon for taking such great care of us. Great service makes such a difference, and we'll definitely be back!

The restaurant is very big and it looked like they had a large room in the back if you have a group of 10 or more. It is ideal for families but you have to ask what's on the kids menu. They have one just not printed out. We went with the Alfredo Pasta with chicken for the kids and one order could have feed three people. The portions are huge so go into your lunch or dinner knowing that. We didn't go for the pizza because our server recommended the lunch calzone which was about the size of my head. Not joking at all. He said the dough was made from scratch and you could tell in the craftsmanship of the cooks in the back. Conveniently located Just a stone's throw from the cruise port, Zarrella's is an ideal stop for travelers looking to enjoy a hearty meal before heading out to sea.

This place is truly a hidden gem. It sits right on A1A in Cape Canaveral, just beyond the traffic light as you cross the Cruise Ship Terminal. Parking is plentiful, easy to access, and easy to get in and out of. The atmosphere is warm, friendly, and inviting. The service was top-notch, and our waiters were extremely knowledgeable about the menu, including how everything was prepared. One thing that really stood out to me was the freshness of the food. There are no heating lamps keeping plates warm and no "Chef Mike" (microwave) shortcuts. Everything is made to order, exactly the way you want it. They have a great regular menu, but they also offer specials, which is what I went with. I had the NY Strip special, and it was cooked to perfection! The steak was incredibly well-seasoned and paired with a zucchini and squash medley that tasted like it had just the right touch of truffle oil and garlic. It was seasoned perfectly. I normally don't eat zucchini or squash unless they're prepared a certain way, and this was exactly how I like them. Absolutely delicious! I highly recommend stopping in and giving this place a try. Be sure to take a look around at all the space-related items throughout the restaurant--they add a really cool Cape Canaveral touch to the experience. Great food, great service, great atmosphere, and a memorable evening. You won't be disappointed!
