    Cheese Ravioli
    Jessica P.

    Delicious little spot we found while visiting family! This spot seems more like a take out/delivery place. The food is delicious but comes in aluminum to go containers. They don't have water glasses, it's bottled Aquafina. I also didn't see any wine or beer in the menu. The chef is a very kind woman and her nephew Sebastian was very attentive to us. The pasta dishes come with garlic bread and a side salad or soup. I chose the salad with Italian dressing. It had tomatoes, onions and the homemade dressing was great. Better than anything store bought. I ordered the cheese ravioli with meat sauce. It comes with melted cheese on top. The flavor was wonderful! Next time we're in town, we'll definitely order take out or delivery from here!

    Penne Spicy Antonio Pasta with sausage
    Maya C.

    Some of the best Italian to go I've had! Rarely do I have a craving for Italian so when it hits me, I try to make sure that I'm satisfied. I searched thru my delivery app and I found this place. There weren't many reviews written about it here on Yelp or Google but the consensus was that they were amazing. I shrugged my shoulders and decided to give them a try. Looking over their menu, they some really good options, like Jumbo Shrimp Linguine Scampi pasta and even combos where you can get half ravioli, half lasagna. I haven't seen that before at a local Italian place. They also offer hot and cold subs, pizza, and calzones but I decided for this meal I wanted pasta. I ordered the Spaghetti Aribiatta Pasta (fresh basil, tomatoes, fresh garlic, olive oil, sautéed with mushrooms in a spicy tomato sauce) with added jumbo shrimp, garlic bread on the side and a choice of soup or salad to which I chose the antipasti salad. My man chose the Penne Spicy Antonio Pasta (Sautéed with fresh garlic and tomatoes in a spicy creamy Alfredo sauce) with garlic bread and a house salad. He also added a sausage to his pasta. When we got our food and unwrapped it, we were surprised by the portion size. This could easily be two meals. My antipasti salad looked and tasted amazing! Never have I had one with mortadella salami so this was a real treat. My pasta was superb! I'm glad I chose the shrimp as it paired well with the spicy sauce and they were not kidding when it said spicy. Maybe from a lot of red peppers? I'm not sure but I liked it. Will say though I ate a lot of the pasta the first night and it did leave my stomach a little upset but I still ate the rest of it and I was fine afterwards. That was probably too much spice at one time for me. It was worth it. My man absolutely loved his food. You must try them out!

    We went back and were so happy to see every table was full! Lets keep this yummy family owned restaurant in biz!

    Baked Ziti With Marinara Sauce

    I just ordered takeout food from here for the first time and it was amazing and reasonably priced. I got the baked ziti dinner that came with a side salad and garlic bread. It was covered in cheese and super flavorful. I can't wait to try more items!

    Shrimp Fettuccine Alfredo. The mushrooms and artichokes were a great touch.
    Natalie V.

    You have got to try it! We went for lunch. She is the sweetest women cooking great food for us locals. My husband couldn't decide between the baked ziti and spinach lasagna. He chose the lasagna and when it came out she was sweet enough to make it half and half. Super thoughtful without us ever asking. I ordered Shrimp Fettuccine Alfredo. Y'all, this is my absolute favorite meal in the world and it was great, authentic, creamy, homemade Italian food. The salad was great and the homemade Italian dressing was way better than anything in a bottle. I will say, this will be more of a lunch and takeout place for me, as I like sitting down, having drinks and such for dinner. This is more of an eat and go place which is totally fine. I will visit times over

    Spaghetti with meat sauce.
    Gigi T.

    Off the beaten path! This little restaurant packs some really good flavor. Popped in while we were in town and wish they were closer to home! The meat sauce is delicious with authentic Italian flavors. The garlic bread and pesto bread are amazingly fresh. I also got their minestrone soup as a side and it tastes just like my Italian mama's soup. This place really made me feel like I was eating a Sunday dinner at mama's house.

    Meatball parmigiana Sub was excellent. Delivery was on time. I would recommend using a different bread but not terrible.

    Probably the BEST BIRTHDAY so far that I could wish or ask for. Thank you god for everything that…read moreyou have given me in life. Having said that what an awesome way to end my birthday with this amazing dinner that I had at this place. One of the best Italian restaurants in Jacksonville I must say. As soon as me and my wife walked in to the restaurant we were greeted and sat right away. The ambiance of this restaurant is truly amazing and very Italian vibe. We were greeted by our server MORGAN who was fantastic from beginning to the end. She suggested some incredible stuff that as a vegetarian I tried and was just amazing. For drinks we had mojito and pinacolada which was nice and refreshing. For appetiser we were recommended with Pomodoro Caprese which was amazing especially their Pesto sauce. For my entree she suggested me Luingini Josephine which was unique and nice pasta. Morgan surprised me with a dessert which was very kind of her. Overall this family owned small business is an amazing must try Italian restaurant. I can't wait to back and try more stuff. I highly recommend this restaurant.

    Back to back reviews everyone we are here again with the same group. Got my good buddy Bezos,…read moreogre, bs wife, and tragic.. Initially, we were going to Coopers Hawk, but forgot we had to make a reservation a year prior. We were told a 2 hour wait! That is wild given how big the place is. But again it is a Saturday night, and people were smarter than us and made reservations, and thus we left. After giving the news to ogre she full on had a rage attack in the parking lot screaming for those classic Coopers Hawk egg rolls. While we were consoling her I heard a soothing sound coming from behind the restaurant and we landed in front of Enzo's. We were greeted by the kindest owner ever who thankfully along with the help of her staff got us in with no wait, given how packed it was.. We were greeted by a very nice waiter who seemed all over the place though. I think he was definitely new, and was forgetful at times.. Anyways! We got three apps which were all fried stuff. Fried ravioli, Fried mozzarella sticks, Fried calamari. Honestly looking back kind of gross.. but they were solid tasting! Nothing out of the park at all on the apps just your standard.. a little tasteless on the calamari, but then again I had like 3-4 pieces because the ogre consumed them.. but then I got clarification from my good buddy bezos that it was kind of tasteless. The most tastiest was the fried mozzarella! Which shouldn't happen. Onto the entrees! Actually wait side reference note I initially ordered mussels with linguini. It was the worst dish of seafood and pasta I have ever had. I literally NEVER send stuff back, like literally never.. it feels inconsiderate and I feel like a bother even if it is just a little edible I would eat it with no complaints but I literally could not. It was so fishy I am now writing this nauseous. Some of the mussels were also closed, cold or broken.. it was just very very poor and I'm mad I had three mussels. The first one was crazy fishy, but I gave it another shot and then another, because I believe in second and third chances. But no, I was grossed out. Not to mention consuming all the fried prior. I also ordered a soup that was forgotten, and didn't get my cocktail sauce, but not really an issue if the dish was made to torture people with. Eventually I did get my soup and it wasn't bad! But now onto the entrees! Bezos: Chicken francese Tragic: veal parm Ogre: Chicken parm Doctor B Wife: Chicken Caprese Me: after the swap I got Veal Parm (thanks tragic) Oh and we had some garlic bread, but it needed some sauce or added flavor with it idk.. Reviews! Ogre: The chicken was good Wife: Mid Bezos: *yawn* ummmm Tragic: Italian stallion Me: the veal was solid, but that dish was so bad before that I lost all my appetite and I am just bleh.. and our waiter seemed a little lost.. again nice guy but come on. All in all we are grateful we were taken in by Enzo's and that owner seemed like she was a hardworking person that definitely can inspire her staff. I loved the piano playing, and the environment was really pleasant. Although me personally I disagree with the food, that dish was the worst ever, and our waiter again although nice was extremely forgetful. I feel sick to my stomach and I probably am going to vomit. But thank you again you gave us a good night and a place to eat..

    The first time I've come here for an actual meal (rather than just a seat at the bar with maybe a…read moresnack) and I enjoyed it! We came for a birthday dinner. I had the very simple rigatoni bolognese. Pasta was cooked to a perfect al dente and the sauce was really good. It was a little on the sweet side for me, but tasted pretty fresh! They also brought us out an "on the house" mushroom appetizer that was delicious. If you like mushrooms, get it! I also sampled the lobster ravioli (on special) and enjoyed it. I am not a huge lobster anything fan, but even I thought it was pretty good! I also had a glass of the house red wine blend they have and that was one of the best house wines I've had in a long time! Super smooth. Teeniest bit sweet. No aftertaste at all. The service was wonderful. Our waitress was attentive and very knowledgeable and just generally great. I had only sat in the bar area previously and thought it could get a little loud but I felt less so about the restaurant itself. The tables are nicely spaced from each other so you have your privacy. My only complaint (and not really a complaint a just a warning so no one is surprised if it comes up... ) is that they charge a $30 cake fee if you bring your own cake. It's just a little bit of a bummer, but I totally understand why. They were super polite about it when I called. Anyhow... food and service was great. Would go again!

    Yummy food again at this new favorite of ours. Service was great and the fish special is still on…read moremind! They are very accommodating and the place stays very busy. Reservations recommended!
