    Special Pasta Bolognese
    Richard L.

    A hidden gem just over the bridge from SGI. Wasn't expecting much with the simple decor but we were pleasantly surprised. Staff super friendly. Menu limited compared to other Italian restaurants but everything was amazing. I encourage you to consider their specials which change daily. Our entrees included the Special Pasta Bolognese, Tortellini Marinara, Stuffed Shells, Linguini in Aurora Sauce with Grilled Chicken. The Bread and Salads were delightful. Very nice wine list as well. We will return.

    Very good food, nice atmosphere and great customer service. I would recommend giving this place a try.

    Lasagna

    Food a 10+. Wow. As good as it gets, seriously. The spinach & artichoke dip went so fast I almost didn't get a picture. My lasagna had beef and pork and excellent marinara sauce. The angel hair pasta with aurora sauce was fantastic. A spicy taste that came after you had swallowed! Wow. A 10 for sure and a must stop when in the area.

    Food and atmosphere were great as a lunch spot. I think it's more like a 5star cafe than a 5 star fine dining restaurant. Sandwiches and soup are excellent. It's clean a friendly.

    Chicken parm
    Michael B.

    The only Italian restaurant on the Forgotten Coast and it's worth the trip. Service was good. Everyone was attentive to our needs. It's not fancy or quiet, but the food is good. The chicken parm was a large breast with a tasty and crispy coating. Lasagna had several layers of cheese and pasta with a load of melted mozzarella and beef sauce on top. The pasta was not mushy at all which happens all too often with lasagna. It took no time for the food to arrive either. Be aware that many of the menus online are wrong. There is a limited selection of entrees. The crowd starts coming in about 6pm so might have to wait for a table if you get there after that.

    One of the daily specials.

    Pretty good Italian. Very nice people. Meatballs are huge but just OK. Marinara sauce is excellent.

    We were looking for a seafood place on our first night in Carrabelle Beach. The Red Pirate was…read morehighly recommended by several we asked and they he menu looked good so we drove over. It was quite crowded so there was a 30 minute wait. We didn't mind because there was a lot to explore and plenty of seating outside. There was a mini golf course, a gift shop and two more dining rooms. Both of those had a bar, dimmer lighting and live music plus one had outdoor seating. We didn't know they had other dining rooms so I told the hostess First Available. We ended up in the family dining room. Not complaining; just informing you that you do have a choice. You can get drinks in there but it doesn't have the atmosphere of the two bars. We were seated and ordered a Coke and a Coke Zero. I tasted mine and it had this awful muddy flavor that lingered. I looked at Jenn and she had the same look on her face. I don't know what was wrong with those drinks but they were so so bad. We told the server and she swapped both for ice tea. Sadly the tea had the same dirty disgusting taste. I don't know what's in the water there but it almost made me retch. We didn't order anything else to drink. We both ordered appetizers next- I got coconut shrimp and Jenn got the Buffalo Skins, basically loaded tater skins. Both were delicious!!! The appetizers were generous portions and quite filling. Jenn didn't want an entree after that but I ordered one - the southern fried chicken sandwich with a loaded baked potato. I should've followed Jenn's lead and skipped the entree. By the time it arrived (which wasn't an unreasonable wait) I was full, quite thirsty and ready to go. The sandwich looked very good, as did the tater but I couldn't eat it. I asked for a box and took it all back to our AirBnB. I did nibble to taste the fried chicken and it was quite good. I'm a fried chicken snob and quite picky. It was hot, not too much breading, well seasoned and the fillet was juicy. The only down side was the sauce on it. It was awful! I used a napkin to try to wipe it off. The server did ask me if I wanted it and I said yes (it was listed on the menu with the sandwich). I should've asked for it on the side. If you order the chicken sandwich you might consider asking for the special sauce on the side. I'm sure many people like it but for me it ruined the sandwich. I did bring the sandwich and baked tater back and will eat it later if I can. The baked potato looked very good, not too small and very well loaded. I didn't taste it though so I can't tell you much about it. They brought the sour cream separately too. Smart! Now I can reheat the tater. I didn't try any of the seafood except the coconut shrimp. I have to say it was excellent-large shrimps and a generous portion. I didn't need the entree at all. The place seems very popular and I will suggest giving it a try. I didn't notice anyone else complaining about the drinks so I don't know how to explain our experience with the Cokes and the tea. Neither of us could drink even one drink of them. I read reviews after we left and one even mentioned the delicious water. Maybe tuck a bottle of Aquafina in your bag or pocket, just in case.

Service was spot on the bartenders are attentive and ready to provide a refill on whatever you are drinking. As stated before these bartenders are spot on with giving good food advice. They're special, not only looks good but actually taste extremely good, the barbecue chicken is superb. The mac & cheese is beyond expectations, creamy, not overdone. Something to look forward to the next time I'm here. The bar area is beautiful old Florida style great place to come and enjoy.

Always important to me. I am particular about my morning coffee! I had the chicken and waffles and was absolutely blown away. The chicken was perfectly cooked and breaded and wasn't overly greasy. It's tough to get that just right! The flavors were warmed up and greatly enhanced by the spicy Tupelo honey butter. The heat didn't overwhelm the other flavors by any means. The waffle was really good but not great. I would for sure eat this again. My co-eaters got the bananas foster French toast and the Creole eggs Benedict with cheese grits. I tasted the French toast and it was just way too sweet for my liking. If you love sweet I imagine you'd like this. The person who ate it does like sweets though and still felt it was a bit much but did like it. She traded some of it away for the cheese grits. The person who ordered the cheese grits thought they were just okay but very much enjoyed the creole eggs Benedict. Some of the best they've had! I did not taste test - I can't eat eggs ‍ I will close out by saying the service was top tier. Our server and everyone in the restaurant was super nice and also knowledgeable about the town and area and answered all our tourist questions (or found the answers). I'm not sure I will be traveling thru Apalachicola again any time soon, but if I do I will certainly stop here to grab a bite!
