The overall experience was phenomenal. Even thought we sat outside in the heat (no fans), the rooster who lives in the bushes kept us company. We went on the evening that bottles of wine were half off and enjoyed the bottle we ordered. The salad and pizza were delicious and those deserve 5 stars. However, The disappointment comes with the fettuccine Alfredo. We were expecting absolute bliss with this dish and unfortunately it was the worst pasta dish we have ever tasted. The pasta might be house made but it tasted as if it had been cooked with some pasta water ladled in and nothing else. There was no cheese or flavor or anything else and the dish was uneaten and our family member went without dinner that evening. If you order pizza and a salad those flavors are delicious. Sadly, we do not recommend any pasta dish there and cannot believe the lack of flavor the fettuccine Alfredo had. read more

Felt like having a steak and they have a lot of options. Didn't have to wait on a table during Monday dinner 8:00 took bar seating. Fried mozzarella appetizer was good. It's thick, just too thick not fully melted in middle and slightly cold. Ribeye was well cooked on the Santa Maria grill. The star here was actually the rosemary potato side. Delicious read more

We haven't been here in about 5 years, so decided to come back in. Started with a caprese salad. $17 for 3 slices of poor supermarket quality tomatoes. How we can live 150 miles from where they grow them in the middle of summer and still have tomatoes like that is beside me. Then a margherita pizza. By their own description it was to have basil and fresh mozz, this had neither. Looked and tasted like a plain cheese pizza. Just too expensive for the quality. read more

Onlywood Grill - The tomato for the $17 caprese salad. - Italian Near Me - Key West, Florida

Visited here for dinner during our Key West stay, our server was very attentive and the Keylime martini was very good. We both had steak dinners that were also very good for the price. The inside of the restaurant was very beautiful and modern and also very clean. read more

After a night of grazing at local bars and still feeling a little hungry before calling it a night, we stopped at Onlywood for a pie. Ordered a margarita pie, which is their basic. For a Florida pie I have to say it was one of the best handmade pizzas I ever ate. It had a hand made dough that had a perfect texture and had some flavor of a wood stove and, more importantly, tasted fresh. The cheese was equally good, stringy and complimentary to the red sauce underneath. The pizza left-overs were very good COLD the next day too. I rated it high because I didn't expect this in KW. read more

I went for happy hour and loved everything! I was craving italian food, and this totally satisfied that craving. The outdoor seating was perfect, and the staff were attentive. I will definitely go back. read more

The reasons for 3 stars after my better review is for the food. The service is still unfriendly and chaotic. Unfortunately the food is following suit. I loved the porcini mushroom fettuccine when it tasted more like Rome, now more like macaroni and cheese We ordered the regular surf and turf and got the mini, no points off for that. However look at the picture of it, unappealing. Steak was cooked to temperature which gets a point. All in all I'll probably not make the trip next time read more

The restaurant was bustling two nights before New Year's Eve in Key West. We ordered a grilled chicken breast served with a fresh salad, and it was delicious. My husband ordered gnocchi Bolognese, which was satisfactory, though we needed to adjust the seasoning at the end for better flavor. I asked if they could prepare a classic Negroni cocktail, and they delivered it, though it was just okay and not disappointing. A small suggestion would be to use the correct amount of ingredients and include a slice of orange peel instead of a larger chunk of orange. The service was good throughout our meal. The ambience was great! read more

Came for the pizza and weren't disappointed; thin crust with good chew and lovely teeny, tiny chopped tomato base to the mozzarella topped pizza. I read that they make their own mozzarella! The wood burning stove seemed to take less than a minute to cook the pizza. Also had a chopped fennel salad with oranges, pistachios, and radishes. The dressing could have used a bit more acid and definitely needs the fennel to be chopped up more. Still, not disappointing. The wait staff was lovely and considerate. The music was dreadful, but it was part of a special event going on that week in Key West. The young woman who waited on us agreed - - it was giving her a headache, but she couldn't complain because the manager said it suited the theme for the events going on. She was quite cute about it all. There is outside seating that I would've preferred, but it smelled kind of fishy. Literally, like bad fish. When we left after eating, the smell wasn't there. I don't know what that was about. I would definitely return for their pizza. read more

Onlywood Grill - Almost gone pizza and fennel salad. - Italian Near Me - Key West, Florida

We visited the SM onlywood at South Beach on Christmas Eve We were excited to go based on all the prior review reviews. My husband called before we went there to make sure they were open and they picked up the phone, but then hung it up immediately. So we took a chance and walked over and they were open. The staff clearly didn't want anyone there probably because it was Christmas Eve. The music was blasting 80 dB. we asked them to turn it down and they did for a couple songs but then cranked it back up. We would not recommend this place. The pizza was good so maybe takeout? read more

Ate at Onlywood on Caroline St. In Key West this evening. My wife had pasta and it was good. I had the most expensive hamburger I have ever had, and the worst burger ever. Our waiter was Ivan, who never once smiled. I'm not hard to please, but the burger was raw. After looking for Ivan for 10 minutes, I asked him to take it back to the grill and char it. He said they would bring a new burger. After another long wait, he brought a fresh burger. This one was as raw as the first one. I asked him to take my plate away and he offered a free dessert which I did not want, but my wife accepted. Seriously, how do you screw up a $25.00 burger? read more

Dined at this establishment for a birthday dinner. All food was exemplary!!! Perfect temperature perfect portion size and wonderful flavor!!! Service was.... Not bad, but the time it took for attention was a bit off. I understand everyone has bad days or whatever, but I feel a little closer attention to customers might be a benefit. The outdoor eating area was shaded and lovely! read more

The location and venue is quite attractive and they have a huge patio out front with heaters that are definitely needed for the colder nights. We came in as a large table without a reservation and was thankful that we got seated after about a 20 min wait. The apps (salads) did take quite a while to arrive- but after that arrived the mains come shortly after. The salads caprese and ceaser were as expected, although the size of the ceaser was huge as the caprese was tiny. In terms of the mains, the steak was a hit at our table, so was the pizza and octopus- there were really no complaints about the mains. The desserts were definitely a fail. The crème brûlée and the tiramisu def was not good and used the same crème in both. The best would have been the Nutella pizza. Service was fine. Not a must try but not a bad experience either! read more

I love the Onlywood on Duval and eat there at least 6x a month. But I avoid Onlywood Grill. Oh the food is good-but it is NOT DOG FRIENDLY outside- even a small, quiet dog in a stroller. We left before ordering and were welcomed at The Square Grouper. read more

An enjoyable Italian grill sitting near the marina with generous menu options and variety. We had some spacious indoor seating, and despite being next to the bar, it still felt somewhat intimate with the ambiance. It's not upscale romantic, but casual and dim altogether. The mozzarella fritta I started with was pretty generous in portion, almost the size of my entree. The gentle, crusty exterior gave each bite of the gooey mozzarella some excellent texture. Mozzarella was melted in such a way to retain enough fat and moisture to keep the mozzarella tasting fresh. A pretty good start. I ended with the Gnocchi Alla Bolognese. The three meats courted the homemade gnocchi's soft, absorbent texture, and had a hearty pork, veal, and beef flavor in each bite. Others in my party had a pork chop that was enjoyable, but one was also undercooked. The kitchen heated up the pork chop again, but it wasn't enough to fix it. HOWEVER, the staff was courteous enough to discount it kindly. The staff was great and offered recommendations and alternatives, and along with the pork chop issue they were very accommodating. We didn't wait long for the service or food. I had one of their cocktails, but like many cocktails in this city I found it to be lacking in alcohol content and tasted like I was drinking juice. It wasn't a terrible cocktail, but I wouldn't pay a cocktail price to drink juice. All together, it was not a bad experience. My meal was actually quite enjoyable and the staff was great. I'd most likely go again. read more

A slice of Italy in Key West! The best Italian food in Key West. It's a beautiful space, open kitchen, great staff! Pizza is baked for just a few minutes in a wood fired oven, like being in Napoli. Pasta is made in-house, same with sauces. The mozzarella fritta is AMAZING! My spouse is from Umbria, Italy and this is as authentic as it gets!!! read more

for the pasta alone (pappardelle) "delicious" for the "short rib" supposed to be in the sauce. Minuscule and barely found it twice in the entire dish after tenaciously looking. I would have to say millimeter in size. Technically it was there? Just their bolognese sauce is all it was. Now that being said, I do blame this on the economic conditions which I totally understand a business trying to make it nowadays. Hence no beef. for the excellent service by the bartender. For their pizza which is always in point!!! Fresh and authentic, with incredible dough. read more

Amazing meal! We sat on the deck and it was so nice. We had the burrata pizza -- AMAZING! Also had the Caprese salad & it was great. Will definitely be back. read more

I tried here since we drove by it multiple times on the hotel shuttle. The happy house appetizers were good. Meatballs and fried mozzarella. I was excited about a lobster pizza until it arrived...there was no way it was lobster. It pretty much was imitation crab. Disappointed. Other guest enjoyed their pizzas. Two others ordered medium steak, and both steaks were very overdone and not flavorful or melted in your mouth. Tough to eat. Overall, minus the upsets, the food was good. Would order different items next time. read more

While looking for a great dinner and pizza place in Key West we stumbled upon Onlywood Grill. They have two locations. The small one is where they started. And the story goes that their lines were so long at that little place, that they later acquired the larger location. We dined at the newest and larger location and the atmosphere was beautiful. They have an outdoor sitting as well. Our waiter Alfonso was so tentative and friendly we felt like we've known him for years. For appetizers we ordered the octopus. We usually have doubts about ordering octopus because most places give you a very small portion and charge a lot. But when we got it, it didn't disappoint. It was fresh and the sauce was divine with it. My husband ordered pepperoni pizza which was delicious. Authentic wood grilled pizza. The dough was crunchy and soft. Simply a heck of a good pizza. I ordered a side salad with the appetizer wings. Wow, you must try those wings. Best I have ever eaten. The spices and their sauce... outstanding! We loved it so much that we returned the next night to have our 39 year anniversary dinner. My husband ordered the surf & turf and I ordered the two lobster tail dinner. We also shared a mushroom risotto. Alfonso (we got the same table again, and our waiter :), already knew what my husband wanted for drinks. And we felt again, the great 5-star service. Overall, we will definitely be back to try additional menu items when we are back in the Keys. Cheers to another great restaurant experience!! read more

This is based on a to go order and not dine in experience. The margarita pizza 4/5 was freshly made . I'm not a big fan of the sauce which also means the spaghetti 3/5 tastes same as pizza . Both my kids didn't like it which is odd as it tastes just like the chef boyardee I ate growing up. The chicken Parmesan 3/5 was breaded chicken with no cheese or sauce . My ravioli spinach 1/5 could use ALOT less oil. It was dripping of oil and I could not finish it . The lobster and shrimp ravioli 4/5 was good had a generous amount of lobster. Overall the price to value wasn't there for me . read more

Wood grill cook dripping sweat and nose fluids on food being cooked. Brought this to the manager's attention and he gave him a hair net. Didn't work. So nauseated, could not order main dishes. Asked for the appetizer bill to be waived, owner gave us a $12.00 credit. We said still do not want to pay, ruined dinner, he called the police and they said they would arrest us if we didn't pay. The only apologetic one was our long time favorite waiter. We paid the bill and tipped our server $40.00. Not his fault. read more

We went here because the review seemed pretty good and it smelled good passing by (wood fired grill). I ordered the DelMonico Ribeye which had zero flavor. I have had $40 steaks at Longhorns that are 10x better. My wife enjoyed her pasta. Our server was less than helpful and seemed annoyed to be working. We had high hopes but cannot recommend this place. read more

Paolina was our server. She was attentive to our needs. We ordered Happy Hour drinks; hubs had the Italian Job and I a Key Lime Martini. Both were delicious. He ordered off the Happy Hour menu with a mini pepperoni pizza (had great flavor) and I Gnocchi Bolognese (beef,pork and veal) both pictures of drinks and food attached. Only reason for NOT 5 stars was the restaurant was not cool!! Assume with the wood oven and open flame difficult to cool. Please come and try their food, so much more than pizza. read more

Truly one of the best dining experiences I have had the pleasure to experience. We waited about 10 mins for a table on a Friday night without a reservation. The food was excellent, service was quick and the restaurant itself had a great ambiance. The wood fired pizza was excellent, we ordered a Margarita and a Truffle/Shrimp pizza and both were perfection. Outside eating area was packed but intimate at the same time. Would recommend to anyone looking for a nice Italian meal. read more
