Food it fantastic. If you're looking for small town charm, but big time flavor this is your place!

We love this little place, food is always good, service with Jocelin is always great, plus they have good pizza so what's not to love! It doesn't look like much from the outside and although small, it has a very quaint dining area. We love coming here read more

This is the most amazing quaint, homey restaurant you'll find. Fine homemade Italian creams and sauces. Pasta for days, hot fresh bread from the oven. A MUST DO! You'll love the people and atmosphere! Reasonably priced as well. Bon appetite! read more

Hours now changed once again to only 4:30 to 8 p.m. ONLY. Third time we have tried to eat here after driving from Marianna. Consistency in hours is needed--or ar least update Internet listings. read more

We ordered shrimp Alfredo to go after placing our order online. It took over an hour before it was ready, and even after I arrived, I still had to wait. My wife and I both ordered the shrimp Alfredo, and unfortunately, it tasted like nothing more than milk-coated noodles. There was virtually no flavor or seasoning at all. For $68, we received two small salads and two orders of shrimp Alfredo that were incredibly disappointing. This is now the third straight visit to Lil Pesce's that has failed to meet my expectations. The previous time, we ordered a pizza that took an hour and a half to prepare. When we got it home, the dough was still raw, and the toppings were cold. After three disappointing experiences in a row, I can't justify coming back. Major changes are needed in both the kitchen and order management before I would consider giving Lil Pesce's another chance. read more

Always great service! I recommend the Italian salad. It is wonderful! The Shrimp pacada is crazy good!!

I am hard pressed to recall when I have ever had a worse dining experience. It was 1 hour just to get our dinner for starters. Plates were brought out to tables one at a time. We ordered unsweetened tea...received sweet tea. Was told despite wine being listed on the menu. "We can't serve it right now"???? But our waitress suggested we could walk across the street to the liquor store and bring it back. Ice for drinks was scooped from an igloo cooler. My salad was awful and my husband's soup was tasteless. Sauce for the spaghetti tasted like canned sauce. When we were finished dinner, our waitress joked. "Bet you can't wait to get out of here" not funny. Behind the cash register on the wall there are hanging wires and overloaded outlets. Spider webs in the corners and hanging tape patches on the ceiling. We will definitely not be back. read more

The food is absolutely the best!! The service is top notch. The restaurant is quaint and the lighting is just right. It's the restaurant you want to drive up on for some genuine food. read more

Traveling back to GA from PCB. Agree with other reviewers the cheesy bread and marinara are excellent. Definitely a place that we would have never stopped based on outside appearance. Inside has a very clean and unique decor. Music a little loud but the Frank Sinatra/Dean Martin vibe completed the ambience. Also had a good Philly cheesesteak which came with choice of salad, soup or fries. Main course entrees said to allow 30 minutes, however, we did see customers order from those items and it did not take that long. Price including 25% tip $20. Thanks Yelp for the help in choosing another enjoyable lunch. read more

Lil Pesce's Restaurant - Cheesy Bread appetizer - Italian Near Me - Alford, Florida

Great food at a great price. Everything we ordered was delicious...eggplant Parmesan, cheese curds, Caesar salad, chicken Marsala and pizza were all outstanding. read more

What an amazing find! The staff is great. We were on a trip and stopped in for dinner. I had a lemon chicken dish that was perfect. The garlic cheesy bread was so good we asked for seconds to take to go for a snack on the road. Nice little small town restaurant with five star food. We will definitely make it a stop on any future adventures thru there. Every dish that came out of the kitchen looked amazing. read more

Simply stated Italian, the seafood bowls are huge, and tasty, while my expectation was set moderately low based on locale and decor, but am very pleased with the ultimate product. Will return when I'm in the area again. I wouldn't drive from PCB to get, but in the outlying area such as chipley and cotton dale definitely beats driving into PCB for food that easily matches and in some cases exceeds what's there. read more

Was served RAW CHICKEN Showed up 30min before closing on Saturday February 24th 2024. Asked if we were too late but the server said absolutely not. My 7 months pregnant wife ordered the Chicken Piccata and was served RAW CHICKEN. It was rushed out completely pink and raw all throughout sitting in a soupy watery "sauce" that clearly wasn't reduced long enough. Be careful eating here, the cooks will put you and your children's lives on the line serving raw poultry because they're in too much of a rush to close the kitchen down and get home. Their time off work is worth more to them than your lives. read more

The service was excellent and came out within a get time. The food was phenomenal. Great atmosphere and great service. 10/10

Awesome spot for dine in and carry-out! Love all their pizza's, garlic bread, pasta dishes, & and desserts. The service is outstanding! Love them dearly! read more

Authentic Italian cuisine, good service, small establishment cozy atmosphere would definitely recommend for lunch.

The little Italian restaurant right off the highway, is absolutely a must try! The sauce is excellent and the special ravioli was delicious. The atmosphere is casual and the service is friendly. Well worth the trip. The chicken parmigiana is soft and tender, cuts with a fork! Great find! read more

I have tried eat here 5 or 6 times. They have odd hours and days. The family have wanted to go there many of times but every time the family gets together and goes there they are closed no matter what time of the day . Finally caught them on a day they were open. Went inside there was only 6 people in the Restruant . I was told they are real busy and it would be 45 mins befor they can take my order. So I left . The next time we went we tried ordering 3 different things they were out of shrimp ,fish, and Hamburger. Not sure what they did have but we left. Not really wanting to leave a bad review but this is my experience with this place read more

Worth the 22 mile drive for some FRESH MADE Italian cuisine. On the weekends this place is only open 430 -830. We arrived shortly after 5pm and all 8 tables were full. We were told it'd be about a 25minute wait and it was. Once we were seated, we looked over the menu and it started food was freshly made and would take approximately 30 minutes to arrive. We decided on the ravioli and Redfish. Both dishes were fresh and tasty. All prices are cash but they accept credit/debit cards at a 3%rate. Worth the drive read more

We went for dinner It was wonderful and fair priced Huge portion of eggplant parm and the special was wonderful I would highly recommend this for a night out. read more

Me and my family got 3 different calzones, an order of garlic cheesy bread, a kids spaghetti and a Philly cheesesteak sub. The calzones were HUGE! I couldn't finish half of it. Definitely worth the money. The kids spaghetti was enough to feed an adult which is even better, so leftovers for the kids. The cheesy garlic bread and marinara was my favorite thing! The marinara was sweet and tasted homemade. We'll definitely be eating here again and trying other things! read more

There was a dirty oven mitt in my food!! If that wasn't bad enough the menu online ingredients were different, and was made in the wrong sauce. And online it said my meal was $13, and it was $26! Then they added in a tip, and I had no choice to decide they don't deserve a tip.The owner argued with me and accused me of lying about what sauce I told her!!! First and last time I will be eating in this this unsanitary restaurant and the rudest owner I have ever encountered. I have been in the restaurant business as a server for over 20 years and this is beyond unacceptable sanitation and customer service. I hope this post helps to shut it down! read more

The food was exceptional. I got the lasagna and it was absolutely delicious. My husband got the chicken Parmesan and said it was wonderful. The service was great. It had a very mellow atmosphere about it. It is definitely a place we will go back too. It's definitely a place to check out if you want great Italian cuisine. read more

A bit scary, no ambiance, food just ok. Very very slow service, not worth the wait. Not much else to say, just keep driving. read more

We ate here for the first time tonight. There was a wait of about 15 minutes for a table, and it took a bit for the food to come out as they were packed with customers. It was well worth the wait and more. The staff were all so friendly and helpful. The food was so incredibly delicious. We ordered a second round of garlic bread. The sweet cabbage soup was delicious. We had the lasagna and chicken Alfredo for our main course. There was so much cheese and such a robust flavor to everything. We will definitely be repeat customers here. This is the most amazing romantic little place in the world. The different customers struck up conversations with us and made us feel like part of a big Italian family. I could go on forever about how amazing this place is, but it's time for dessert. read more

The food was very good and for such a small place the ambiance was really nice. We arrived at a time when the restaurant was at capacity so we waited outside for 20 minutes and since we were celebrating our 21st anniversary that was no problem; we just enjoyed each other's company. When we went inside we were seated at a large round table. We were seated there for another 10 minutes looking over the menu when a group of five came in expecting to be seated sense they had reservations which the staff had forgotten. We graciously agreed to wait for a booth that was just being vacated and had to be bused and let the party of five have our table -- no problem! But, then the waitress (all the rest of the evening) sent the other party's orders in ahead of ours. Both of our parties ordered calamari. They got theirs and finished it 10 minutes before we got ours which came as a result of my registering a complaint. We were really looking forward to getting our order of Shrimp Alfredo on penne pasta when the waitress informed us they had run out of penne pasta and asked if we would like regular spaghetti or angel hair? Oh well so much for that! They did apologize for our wait and comped us a dessert for our "inconvenience" ?! Other than all that we enjoyed the end of our anniversary day and the time we got to spend with each other! I would, however, recommend not going to this restaurant at peak time! read more

Today we went with another couple. We arrived in time to take advantage of their early bird special. Tea or coffee.... salad or soup....entree and dessert along with fresh baked bread for 10.00.... insane right....and the amount of food is plentiful...can't imagine anyone leaving hungry. I had chicken and eggplant parm. Most places I have a tough time deciding which one to get...but here... I get the best of both worlds ...plus pasta... We also ordered an cheese curds while waiting for friends .... Yummy.. Served with sauce. The employees were very pleasant.... We all had an amazing meal. Lighting is very low so we sat by the window to take advantage of natural light. Planning on another visit soon. read more

This is probably the only spot near Marianna you will get resonably priced great pasta dishes. Quaint little spot friendly staff. They also have great pizzas. My wife and l always thoroughly our visits to Lil Pesce's. The chicken marsala is tops in my books. read more

Worth the 3 1/2 mile drive off I-10 which is a food desert. Don't let the outside deceive you; cute & quaint Inside, kind staff, and pizzas, bread, and shrimp salad were fresh and delicious. Will stop here again on our long drives through the panhandle. Offering beer or wine would be my only suggestion :). read more

Food was fantastic! Quite a surprise. The waitress had no idea what was on the menu or anything else for that matter but the quality of food made up for that glitch. We have returned several times since read more

Had a wonderful lunch here with friends who were traveling. Highly recommended! The Chicken Marsalis was great. Dinner portions are huge! Come hungry! read more

Overpriced food, needs to have better management, pizza was not done, calzones are not what you would expect, dry ,nasty, overpriced

Made special request angel hair Bolognese for me. It and the Caesar salad were very simple but good. Large portions and reasonable prices.
