Our family group of 6 ate at the DeBary location on Sunday, 8/23/26. We will NOT be going back…read more The reasons are numerous: 1. Seating. We were sat at the very front of the restaurant just inside the door. I don't know why because it was only 5 o'clock when we dined and much of the restaurant appeared to be empty, yet we were by the door with people coming and going. It was not the best situation for us. 2. Service was inattentive and slow at best. Water glasses were never refilled, beverages for the young people at our table were limited to Sprite only, but then later on only Pepsi was available for refills. There should have been iced tea or maybe a few other soda choices. Much of the time there were only a few diners present, yet staff was scarce. 3. Entrées were pricey considering that no salads were included with any of the menu items. Salad off the menu would start you at $13-$14. 4. Atmosphere was uncomfortably disrespectful. While we dined and conversed, staff set up a very long table opposite us. The table was for at least 20 diners. Heavy metal chairs were dragged across the floor and banged into place at the table, and the metallic screeching sound drowned out our conversation for the duration. The man doing the set up was oblivious. 5. Most of the food was "adequate", not great. My pasta was served in a dented little metal pot, not on a nice plate. The " crispy guancialle" featured on the menu trned out to be rubbery little chunks of fatty pork. Parmesan cheese was administered by the wait staff after our request. Can we not be trusted with a cheese dispenser at table? I was totally underwhelmed. The rest of my party felt the same only shortly after service began. La Strega looks like it is trying to be an upscale restaurant ("bistro"?) but it really falls short, in my opinion.

I really wanted to like this establishment as the name and the menu seemed very appealing. They…read morehave a great selection of Italian items on the menu and the name of the items would lead you to believe that it's truly amazing. Authentic Italian cuisine. The restaurant itself is disappointing. You feel like you're walking into a Mediterranean restaurant and it's very casual in the atmosphere and decorations. I dined with a group of individuals and we all felt the same about the food in that it had zero depth of flavor or in the case of the broccolini and the chicken marsala, they both had a distinct sour flavor. We all asked for Parmesan cheese, which is not served as a part of the meal, you do need to ask for it. And we all needed salt. The service was another disappointment. Although they were nice and friendly, they were not attentive in just a little things were left off. When we raise concerns about the soreness of the food, they said that that's the way it was supposed to be. Overall, the price would lead you to believe that this is an upscale restaurant and the experience is very downscale

But Goodfella's Pizzeria & Italian Restaurant in DeBary is the real deal--it is hands down the best pizza I have had in Florida. While it's not quite a New Haven coal-fired pie, the crust has that essential chew and the toppings are actually fresh, which is a rarity down here. They use high-quality Grande cheese and you can tell the dough isn't just an afterthought. Living in Volusia, I'm just thankful this is in my backyard so I don't have to settle for the "wack" options or the chains. This place is a class act that actually respects the craft; they seriously need more locations because Florida is starving for pizza this good.

Someone needs to take control of this place…read more Our first visit was great. The food was well done, the experience was good, and you earned our business enough to convince us to come back. Then came visit number two. We should have turned around the moment we walked in. Not a soul in sight. Employees dressed like they had wandered in off the street. No professionalism, no urgency, no hospitality, and apparently no standards. Let's start with the one thing this place gets right: the food is very good. Whoever is cooking clearly knows how to put out good food. Unfortunately, it wasn't until afterward that we noticed the condition of the kitchen--and that completely changed how we felt about what we had just eaten. The kitchen looked extremely dirty. We could see cooks with dirty-looking rags sitting in the same areas where food was being prepared, and the kitchen vent was beyond filthy. Not a little grease from a busy shift--this looked like something that had been neglected. We didn't know until AFTER! That is unacceptable in a restaurant. If the areas customers can see look like that, it immediately raises questions about the sanitation standards in the areas we can't see. Now the bar. You cannot advertise a FULL BAR when half the inventory is unavailable and I have to explain to the person behind the bar how to make my drink. That's not a full bar. That's a liquor shelf with a confidence problem. Then there's the service. Our waitress looked like she had 47 other places she would rather be. If customers feel like they're inconveniencing the person being paid to serve them, you have a serious hospitality problem. And for the love of restaurant standards--get uniforms. I'm not asking for tuxedos. A clean, consistent dress code would immediately make this place look like an actual establishment instead of a group of people who happened to show up at the same building. The gentleman at the front was friendly enough to acknowledge us, so credit where it's due. But dude--pull your hair back. You work around food. Especially after seeing the condition of that kitchen, basic sanitation and presentation need to become a priority. At one point I genuinely couldn't tell whether I was eating dinner at a nightclub or watching a low-budget episode of The Sopranos. And that's what makes this so frustrating. You have good food. The hardest part is already there. But good food cannot save a restaurant with a visibly dirty kitchen, sloppy presentation, disengaged service, an unprepared bar, and zero visible leadership. The first visit made us want to come back. The second visit made us wonder who the hell was running the place.

I have a new favorite Italian restaurant in the area AND they're open on Mondays!…read more We came in on Memorial Day which meant they were slow (apparently not a lot of pizza wanted on a grilling holiday?) but that was fine because we got a quiet restaurant and excellent service. I'm constantly chasing the flavors of my childhood Italian restaurant back home and I think I've found my closest match. First off, their pasta fagioli, absolute perfection. It's not just minestrone with pasta added in nor is it too tomatoey. It's the perfect level of veggies and pancetta and I ordered a bowl to go to have on hand as my "I'm sick" comfort food. The calamari was my only criticism, they serve it tossed in the marinara (and the spicy marinara isn't really spicy). That meant the crisp breading was soggy, but it was still well cooked and tasty - I'll just ask for sauce on the side from now on. House bread with herbed dipping oil - delightful outer crust and fluffy inside. My father had a caesar salad which was his only criticism - it came with a packet of Ken's brand dressing. For a place making most things from scratch, why they'd do commercial dressing let alone in a packet is beyond me. My father's veal marsala was cooked tender and the sauce wasn't overpoweringly marsala-y as many can be. My chicken francaise had the same level of meat tenderness and sauce balance and both came with perfectly cooked pasta. We had to judge on all levels of our go-to foods so we also ordered a slice of pepperoni which came with a sauce that wasn't too much nor too sweet and excellent cheese pull, thin but not cracker crunchy crust that has actual FLAVOR. Great ambiance, fun and attentive staff, and food near perfection - we have a new favorite!
