Posh Pizza
LB C.

So glad my son brought me by to check this place out! Lovely atmosphere, delectable food and great service. The Surf and terf Pizza was off the chart. I would recommend it to anyone who loves filet and lobster.

Delicious, both oasta we ordered (even the kids menu one was good), good portion size. My little one loved the lemon pasta!! Carbonara was also good!

Lamb shank with truffle risotto.   Tender and flavorful.

The food and the presentation of the meals is a 10 ++. The lamb shank with truffle risotto was tender and flavorful. The carbonara which was made WITHOUT cream and should be made WITHOUT cream was so delicious. I love when it's made as it should be As for the ambience, it was nice and clean but I felt like something was missing, maybe giving it a softer vibe. Maybe mini faux candles on tables and bar area. They had a guy who played music start at 7pm. I would have requested more Italian songs to be played if we were there longer but it's a nice touch to have music while dining. We found this restaurant thru reviews and we want to add our opinion and highly recommend you go.

Incredibly service! Beautiful authentic Italian place. Food is devine, authentic Italian recipes and also Italian atmosphere. Can get little loud, so be aware of that. Drinks are also great, I had a watermelon basil martini and i can tell you its worth the hype. Overall great place for an evening meal and occasional drink. They have gluten free options too! P.S. My ratings are based on whether I believe I could make a better or healthier version at home. If food/drinks/service impress me, I'll be happy to come back. If not the stars reflect that.

After a long day at Disney, I was absolutely famished and came across Little Italy's Ristorante and something in my soul just needed to come here. I was a little scared about the reviews about poor service, long wait times, etc. but I honestly didn't care because those photos were enough to absolve the sins of the past. I have no complaints regarding service. My server Elaina was phenomenal. I've eaten out a lot this week and she was by far the best server I've had in all of Daytona. She was ON IT with refills, made me the best tiramisu martini to the point where I almost started levitating, and didn't mind my cranky and hungry kids ordering their food to come out with the apps. Elaina was an absolute gem and I really appreciated her hospitality and bubbly personality. The food was insane. Shout out to the chefs for curating plates that were absolutely masterpieces and had my taste-buds dancing with glee. I think this might actually be the best Italian food I've ever had. My table ordered an absolute SPREAD! Remember, we were dying after spending all day at Disney We got their pizza, a spaghetti & meatball, bolognese (GET THIS IT WAS SO GOOD), arancini, chicken piccata, fried veg & calamari and desserts. NOTHING MISSED!!! It was so freaking good. Literally 10/10 I have no complaints. Insane service and food. I attached a few pics because I was too busy devouring everything. Also, the ambiance was cute. I opted to sit outside because it was nice, but really anyone could come here. It's a great vibe.

Excellent place to dine in and have great Italian food; pizza and pasta, with friends and family. Also, to have some drinks and enjoy a good time. The place has a great ambience and good service. Street parking available.

The garlic knots
Rick P.

This was a nice place to stumble over because of an art festival on beach street. Needed to sit down and cool off. Started off with a couple of waters and beers to cool off. Got the menu and decided on garlic knots. Took awhile but the bartender/waitress got the kitchen on the right track. The knots were very good. Over all pretty good... just slow in the kitchen. Waitress did great. We'll probably back

Spaghetti and meatballs
Mike S.

Very good food and atmosphere. The staff is very friendly. The karaoke draws a decent sized crowd.

Pollo Piccata
Morgan N.

Eating here will leave you with a smile on your face... the food, and the atmosphere... overall just a great restaurant. The outdoor seating was very enjoyable and entertaining as they had live karaoke on the night I went. Everything I tried was delicious, and came out fairly quickly. The Bruschetta was a great appetizer, fresh warm Crostini bread with that balsamic! Yum! The Pera e Gorgonzola Salad dressing just seemed to be missing something flavor wise so I also tried the house dressing which was fantastic. The people outside were absolutely loving this place, definitely recommend stopping by for dinner here!

Been a long time since we've been to Mario's. Did not…read moredisappoint with the service and food. Started off with glasses of wine and garlic bread. Bread was hot and very good. Nice sized loaf for the 2 of us. Candyce got the chicken parmesan and I got the Veal parmesan. Nice big pieces with a side pasta Alfredo super creamy and oh so good. Great service Great food. Nice location for dinner.

We've lived in the Daytona Beach area for almost 5 years and have driven by this restaurant…read moremultiple times. One weekday night we decided to try it out, and we're happy we did. First off, the restaurant is a lot larger inside than you would think seeing it from the outside. The colors are warm, the seating either bar, high tables, tables or booths. And, at the end of our dinner the restaurant was full, but it wasn't noisy. All of the staff were very friendly. We were promptly seated in one of the booths and perused the menu. We were offered a choice of bread or garlic bread. We opted for the garlic bread. Soft, warm, with just the right amount of garlic and butter. We started with the stuffed artichoke. I think we would have liked it better if the artichoke were a bit more "meaty." Most of the leaves were just breading with a sliver of artichoke. We were then brought our dinner salads. They were large. Lots of fresh ingredients. You could almost make a meal of just the salad. My husband had the lasagna which came with a meatball, and I had the Mario Combo which includes chicken parmesan and lasagna with a side of spaghetti. The servings were generous and hearty. The sauce very good. I judge Italian restaurants by their sauce, and this one was a nice thick blend of tomatoes and spices. What was interesting is that the spaghetti sauce seemed just a bit sweeter. We needed carryout containers for the leftovers and they packaged them very nicely. Took a star off for the stuffed artichoke which wasn't very flavorful. Also while the food was good, there was something almost sloppy about the presentation. Prices are about right, and you can get a discount if you sit at the bar or on the high tops... We'll come back again... we'll just make sure we're really hungry!

While the patio is nicely designed and has comfy wicker chairs, the parking lot traffic does take a bit from the ambiance. But hey, how often can I dine outside in Florida without dying of heat or mosquitos or drowning in a downpour. They had a ton of delicious specials going but I like to try places for the first time based on my favorite dishes. However, I can't pass up octopus carpaccio and while it was delicious, the slices stuck to the plate which the waiter attributed to being outside where it warmed up. Next time, calamari for sure! I got the fettuccine bolognese as I'm still chasing a sauce that isn't just ground beef added to marinara. I'm happy to say it's the best bolognaise I've found in Central Florida! Their pasta was cooked perfectly and the sauce was rich and not overly tomatoey or sweet like most places. It also was fully tossed so it clung to the noodles. Dad was in a pizza mood but was definitely temped by the veal chop special. He ended up with the all in pie and I knew it was a winner when he ate the crust. He's very picky about crust and this hit the mark on texture and taste! So yes, the love this group has for Don Giovanni is real and if you haven't tried it I definitely recommend it!

I am an avid fine diner and have had many experiences in Italian fine dining. As a party of 8, we booked two reservations of 4 due to the limited reservations online. No problem at all. As we arrived we requested to be seated near each other, as there were 4 top tables available next to each other. The host informed us that they did not want us interacting as it would disturb the vibe. To assume that we don't understand proper etiquette was a bit insulting. As we sat in the basement, it felt like we were getting seated for a church dinner. The fake stained glass and outdated carpeting was incredibly tacky, as well as the dirty piece of paper requesting restraint from cell phone use (as pictured). Other than the strange indoor decor, and the host demeaning our party, the food did not disappoint. We enjoyed the carpaccio, pasta, veal scallopine, lamb, and chocolate desserts. Everything was delicious. I was unaware when booking that they do not have a liquor license. I came to find out when I ordered an espresso martini. The wine list was decent and I decided upon an Amarone which was the perfect compliment to dinner. Overall, it was decent due to the food, but the vibe was very strange and didn't feel upscale whatsoever. Service was fine, nothing exceptional.
