Partner and I come here once or twice a month for quality food and friendly service. He is very picky and only likes pepperoni calzones with no ricotta, and this satisfies him completely. We also love the bread, which is served warm. I've had several dishes here from the pasta soup to their Alfredo as well as their spaghetti and meatballs, and I've never had a bad experience with any of my food. My favorite is their fettuccine Alfredo with vegetables; it's very filling and there's a hearty amount of vegetables and well-cooked noodles. Sauce keeps me coming back for more! Pricing is just a bit higher than average, a hearty pasta dish is around $18.95 or more. Slowly working my way through trying out nearly everything on the menu as we keep coming back for a great experience. Outdoor patio seating is nice, just your average clean (if not a bit dated) restaurant interior and Italian decor. Always happy to have a meal here!
Great Italian! This is an exceptional place! Tasteful atmosphere and good people. The food was delicious, and Riley is an Olympic class server. I hope they'll have me as a regular!
I ordered the spaghetti/w meat sauce and the Caesar salad with chicken. I received about three layers of meat and a thimble of sauce. It tasted BLAND! Like they INTENTIONALLY decided not to use seasoning at all. The salad came with no grated cheese. Smh. I'm from out of town but will be back. Definitely not rushing back here. Not for a meal over $40. The garlic bread was good though! I went to the hotel lobby and bought a microwave pizza.
Dinner tonight and I cannot wait to dig in. I absolutely love their food. I have a large cheese pizza a large pepperoni pizza and a order of shrimp Alfredo a side salad and some bread.
We have eaten here a few times over the years and have always enjoyed their food If I lived on this side of town, I would come more often. However, I would have to pass several equally good Italian restaurants between my house and here so we don't get much. The first thing you will notice as you enter the courtyard where they are located is a enticing outdoor eating area. I imagine when the weather is nice in Tallahassee that this is quite popular during the evening. Our most recent visit was a party of 12. We were served by one very experienced waitress who did an excellent job keeping all of us satisfied. Drinks were refilled regularly, bread and butter was brought promptly (and replenished), salads came timely with the correct dressing for each and all 12 entrees came out hot and at the same time. That is a sign of a well organized restaurant, especially considering there were 2 other large groups plus plenty of other diners. I loved my red snapper piccata special and had enough to take half of it home. My wife enjoyed her carbonara and also had to take over half of it home. Everyone in our group enjoyed their food and commented on the great service we received.
I had been running around town after work looking for costumes for my kids for Halloween and I was in the mood for some good lasagna! I searched but couldn't find one and then I remembered this place. I'd never been before but I've passed by it (since it's in the Winn-Dixie and Chick-fil-A shopping center) and wanted to try it. I looked up my trusty reviews and decided it was time to try it. They have a really nice outdoor patio area and it was busy for a Tuesday night. I saw so many positive things about how the bread was delicious... and I'm a bread lover! I was torn between the lasagna and the Baked Cannelloni but decided I'd stick with the original plan for lasagna. The lady at the register seems to be Italian and she was very nice, she suggested that I do the lasagna since she too loves it and that I should try the cannelloni the next time I was back ;) When I got home with the food it was still hot, however there were a few cold spots in the middle. Nonetheless, I can say that I was pleasantly surprised at how good it was. I ate the entire container and the delicious bread all by myself! I'm a very picky eater and I will definitely be back to try more of the menu items. They are priced great for the portions and to be able to get a home cooked meal.
It isn't that great but for the prices it offers accordingly. Simple but good. It is a very spacious place both seating inside as outside. As modern as it looks outside, it is outdated inside. Friendly staff. Simple menu. Full open bar. I had a sangria which came without fruit. I ordered the caprese salad which was terrible but for the price what you expect. Cheap thick cut tomatoes with tasteless mozzarella. It's as good as me fixing this myself at home. But again reasonable for the price. The spinach lasagne was really good. The soup of the day and eggplant Florentine were really good, better than when we had this at Cipriani's!
Salad is kind of small for the price, but I get it for the dressing combo. Pizza is always good i haven't been in a long time and I did notice this pizza was a lot more greasy on the top and bottom than normal. Service is good. I don't like sitting inside but I love their outdoor seating read more
A really frustrating experience. I brought 20 people here for a work gathering. Appetizers, meals, the works. I order the Shrimp Fettuccine Alfredo, which the menu says features jumbo shrimp. You can see my picture of it, not quite "jumbo". It comes with a house salad. I ask if I can get a Caesar side salad instead and I was told it would be an up charge. No problem, I thought. When I get the bill, they charged me for a full size entree Caesar for $12.50 because they don't offer it as a substitution. "Up charge" and "Full Price" are two totally different things. I asked another server afterwards to inquire and state my concern and her reply? "Yeah, I don't know why he worded it that way to you." On top of all this, there's an additional charge for using a credit card. Nope, never again. When you intentionally nickel and dime everyone, they do exactly this - they don't return. read more

We had a wonderful meal tonight! I ordered the linguine with clam sauce at Alec's (waiter) recommendation. INCREDIBLE! If you order it definitely save some bread to put extra sauce and clams on. Yum! We sat out on the patio and it was a beautiful night! read more

I've been to Little Italy on a few different occasions and have always enjoyed the food. I recently had my graduation party here, BEST decision I could have made. Everyone made sure my day was perfect! I can't thank you all enough! The space was great and my guests enjoyed all the food options. I really love the outdoor courtyard, perfect for pictures. My mother enjoyed her pizza she loved the fresh dough. I generally eat spaghetti or chicken alfredo and it never disappoints. My aunt also noted she loved the cheesecake. I had to skip the cannoli this time but grab one while you're there. As always I'll be back and absolutely recommend for a quiet lunch/dinner or an event! read more

What a great find! Do not let the Winn Dixie next door deter you. It's a quaint little restaurant who knows how to do Italian! I got the Chicken Country Style and it is the perfect blend! My husband got the Carbonara and it was delish too (rich, but delicious). The bread is fresh baked and the wine is also yummy! Special shout-out to our waitress Abi for not only being a great waitress for us, but running the whole place (inside and outside) all by herself! P.S. I didn't think to get photos of the food - ate it too fast, so you get a photo of the courtyard on a rainy day. :) read more

One of our favorite places in town the past 4 years and must try if you are in Tallahassee and love great authentic Italian food ! It's a very intimate family owned type of restaurant. Usually plenty of seating and can be busy for holidays like valentines definetly reserve. Their prices are fair and provide a range for any budget! Gotta try the dinner or lunch specials that bring a soup or salad and the entree. Amazing service everytime we've had nimrod servers and they're always constantly checking in and super attentive to our needs. The food was fairly quick and tasted homemade! read more

Boy what a hidden gem! My wife and I ate there for lunch taking advantage of their lunch sandwiches special during the week. When we arrived there was one other couple there besides us but by the time we left there was plenty of patrons. The food was great. The atmosphere felt very Italian. The service was attentive and polite. Overall very pleased with this restaurant and will go back again and again. Great first date or any dinner place. read more

Had an amazing dinner here, super friendly servers, family friendly, very quick service, and delicious food. We got the baby pizza, chicken parm and veal. Loved the ambiance and feeling of being in a family owned restaurant! read more
It pains me to write this, as we have ordered from Little Italy many times. But our experience last night will be the last birth due to the quality of the food and the attitude of the owner. We often order veal parmigiana dinners for delivery. While not exceptional, they have been good and Little Italy is one of the few places that sells veal that is open on a Monday. So last night we ordered 2 veal parm dinners and a fried calamari appetizer from Little Italy using bitesquad. Note that the dinners each come with a side salad, a side of spaghetti, and bread with butter. The deliver arrived on time. We started with the calamari, which was cooked well and was tasty. Next came the salads, served with ranch dressing, which were crisp and fresh. However, next came the veal. We removed the veal parm and spaghetti from the metal containers and put them on plates. After a few bites of the veal, it was clear that something tasted off about it. Upon closer inspection, the veal was brown all the way through, which to us indicated that it was either way overcooked or too old. The spaghetti was fine, but the veal was simply bad. So we stopped eating it and contacted bitesquad through the chat feature in their app. They asked me to send a picture, which I did (and which is attached to this post). To make a long story short, bitesquad would only agree to give us a $5 credit. I told them that we would happily pay for the calamari, but that we would like a refund for the two dinners, each of which cost $16.95. They told me to contact the restaurant (which they are actually supposed to do). So I called and talked to the owner, ave had her on speaker so my wife could listen. The owner said that if we didn't like the food then it would be no charge. She said that quickly and repeatedly. But she said bitesquad is supposed to call her. She told me to contact bitesquad and tell them no charge for the dinners. So I called them and told them this, and they wanted to call the restaurant to verify. Perfectly understandable. They came back on the line to tell me the owner was only willing to credit one dinner because her husband, who is the chef, and she said that they thought the veal was fine. That's not At all what she told me, but she would but budge. So we are ending up partying for one that was just as bad as the one they credited. I then decided to take a look at the food inspection reports and discovered that they had 20 violations at their last inspection in September. That's a lot. Maybe the poor quality of the veal was related? It's imposible to know. In any event, we will never return. Poor food can happen. Poor service by the owner when it is reported is inexcusable. read more

The quaint, mom and pop restaurant is everything and more you'd expect from the local, Italian ristorante. Being Italian, about once a week I have this strong, overpowering urge to stuff my face with cuisine from the homeland. There's a short, old lady who runs the joint. She's branded with a thick, Italian accent and always desires the patrons to go home bursting at the seams (like all Italians). Her pleasantness and her matronly mannerisms make here a joyous delight to talk to. When I think of authentic Italian food, I picture large plates, succulent meats, an abundance of herbs, fresh bread, and masterful sauces. After coming here for years, it's safe to say this is what you consistently receive. The linguine with clams is a five star dish. Big chunks of fresh clams and perfectly cooked pasta pair together seamlessly. It's served with a heaping of fresh bread and it runs you only $10.95! You can order take out, dine in, or even go alfresco in the scenic courtyard. Little Italy will never provide you the flash or the glitter, but it will always provide great service in a comfortable environment with a complete and satisfying, home-cooked meal. From the atmosphere to the downhome righteous cuisine, I love everything about Little Italy. read more

Came for dinner with wife and two teen sons, all were pleasantly surprised. Arrived at 7pm, nice out. Loved the courtyard and outside seating. Fresh flowers and candle on all tables. Water fountain made nice ambiance. Decent prices. Fresh bread was excellent. Boys split large pepperoni pizza, they liked it. Wife got the baby eggplant pizza, thought it was delicious. I got a ham and cheese calzone, really enjoyed it -- could've had more of the ham and cheese but still ok. TWO THINGS THAT WERE GREAT SURPRISES... Live blue-grass music every Tuesday, and 15% off entire bill on Tuesdays!! We'll definitely be back - and with our community of friends!!! read more
