Food was incredible. We had mussels for an app. Supreme pizza, cattaloni. My only suggestion for improvement would be that our server should have explained the specials. We saw them on the chalk board after our meal. read more

We stopped in this place on a beautiful Wednesday afternoon and grabbed a picnic table out front. Our food came out fast, it was very delicious and the service was great, they even brought a bowl of water for our pup. The reason I did not give five stars is because we almost left before even getting served because it took a long time for anyone to come over to us. (10+ minutes). Their beer menu could use a few good draft beers on it as well. With that said, the service and food was great and we will return! read more

Excellent wood fired pizza. Our waitress could not have been better. The wait for an outside table on a Thursday night was an eye popping 45 minutes but there were plenty of tables inside. Ambiance is noisy in an "I don't care who hears me" way but other than that it was fine. A solid 3 stars creeping towards 3.5 for the service read more

Had ordered 2 pizzas, very disappointed, one was 4 cheese and the other was pepperoni. Hardly any four cheese it looks like they used a spray gun to put the cheese on and I can count the pepperoni on the second one. read more

Every time we try this place we really want to like it but this will be our last visit. We arrived at 6:15 and were informed that they were out of their pasta special. My wife and I ordered lasagna "rolls" and after a few minutes were informed that they were out. At 6:30 on a Saturday?? Very poor kitchen management. My wife ordered a meat lovers pizza with onions, cooked very well done almost burnt crust. When it came out it was barely cooked. Sent it back. It came back right. I ordered Fettuccine Alfredo with chicken. It came out with tiny, almost inperceptable pieces of chicken. Every Italian Restaurant I have ever been to, including in Italy, had nice strips or full breast of chicken on top. Really no excuse for the poor quality of our meal. Even the meatballs were only fair. For the Restaurant itself, it is in desperate need of maintenance as the railings are just gross!! Do they ever wipe these down??? Oh well, lots of other places around to get GOOD Italian food. read more

It seems to be a popular place by locals. Pizza was nothing life altering, it was just good. We did take out pizza and tiramisu. Lorenzo (possibly it's not his real name) was taking care of take out section. He didn't even offer forks to go with the dessert. It's a very small detail but I had to go back to get some and his excuse was that they try to reduce the plastic use. He doesn't consider that we might be tourists and no forks in the hotel room. Again, small details and big attitudes annoy me a lot. read more

This is our first time at Pizza Gorda and will never return. The waitress did not share with us the specials of the day, we only heard it from another waiter at another table. The spinach and mozzarella pizza was not cooked. The crust was extremely soggy, and the pizza was cold. When the waitress finally came back, she could see that the pizza had not been eaten. All she said was "this is woodfired pizza, and it was not soggy when I brought it to your table." You could see that the crust was limp and raw. No offer to reheat the pizza. There was a gentleman named Nico walking to different tables asking how everything was. Unfortunately, he failed to stop at our table Please do not go to this restaurant, Domino's or Papa Murphy's is much better! read more

First of all, they were OUT of bread - an Italian restaurant- really? Said they could give me more croutons in my salad instead. Since I wanted bread I ordered a cheese pizza. It was good, but not great. The house wine was good and the Caesar salad was average and quite expensive - $10 for a small okay salad. i ordered baked zitI, expecting it to actually be baked - silly me. The bowl of pasta arrived - ziti, sauce and cheese all mixed up - ugly, unappetizing - no sign of ever being in an oven. The ziti was like mush and 1/2 was all broken up. It obviously was reheated. The sauce was bland. The tiny meatballs were tasteless. Gave feedback to the server and the "manager", but I wasn't impressed with the response. Will not return. read more

Wow, where have I been these 3 years living in SWFL. This is a true hidden gem but wow! We came here with my daughter and her friends for a light dinner, first of all RSVP if you can, we didn't and so we were seated outside, which was not bad as it is so cute. The menu is not overwhelming but it is def curated. The service was superb! We ordered the artichokes, the mostaccioli with min meatballs, a margharita pizza and a pep and mushroom pizza. The pizza was superb, the coal fired crust was amazing. The pizza comes in one size only, on the smaller side but packs a lot of flavor. The mostaccioli, wow! so cheesy and so delicious. I want to come back asap to try more of their items, everything was so fresh. Loved this place read more

The pizza is very good, and the service has always been good. It is a cute Italian inspired ambiance and has outside seating as well.

Pizza and garlic knots were not ready at pick up time! I had to wait 8 minutes for them to just put in the food!! It was burnt! How terrible it is! This is how the place treats their customers? DONT GO THERE FOR BURNT FOOD! Gross read more

Service was VERY slow. Wings had no flavor-even though we ordered "spicy", and the pizza was just ok. Probably won't be back.

Overall, I would recommend this place, especially if dining in. We aren't from the area, and ordered take out, but I wish we had stayed. Some of the food was a swing and miss: the sausage pizza was soggy because the sauce was on the watery side, and a salad we got had a lot of spoiled, broken down greens, so I spent several minutes picking through it and throwing it out. Had I dined at the restaurant, I would have sent it back. The stars were the sandwiches made with pizza dough - that got rave reviews, and the white pizza with ricotta and spinach was the best pizza I have ever tasted. Everything about it was flawless. This is where this business really shines. So dine in, and get the white pizzas or the sandwiches. read more

This restaurant has indoor and outdoor seating. We opted for inside and were seated immediately. It was pretty busy, but not overly noisy. Our server came over right away. The bruschetta and meatball appetizers were delicious. Beefy meatballs and flavorful sauce. The pizza was super thin, the way we like, with chunky tomato sauce. Loved the pepperoni and sausage. read more

Don't know how I missed this gem located in Punta Gorda. Operating out of a house as well as featuring an out door dining area this spot brings a big welcome to Italian dining in SW Florida. Arrival is like visiting the home of an Italian relative, homey ambience, quiet environment, friendly staff tending to your wishes. Food is incredibly prepared and presented. A few of the dishes on our table were Burrata, Eggplant, PEI mussels and White Pizza. Every dish absolutely delicious. I Don't forget the dessert menu serving a variety of Italian goodies like Puff pastry with lemon cream or Gelato along with. Expresso or Cappuccino. Bon Appetite. read more

Wow amazing white garlic pie! And fabulous teriyaki chicken wings! Definitely be back and have some house wine to wash it down!

Pizza was amazing. Service was quick and staff was so very friendly and authentic. Pizza ingredients were so fresh and was hot when we came to pick it up. Place is nice inside but small. Everyone is so welcoming and friendly though. My husband and I ate the whole thing by ourselves. We will definitely order again! read more

Pizza Gorda - Rustica plus pepperoni added - Pizza Near Me - Punta Gorda, Florida

We recently discovered this adorable restaurant with outside seating and it's sister restaurant Fresco as we left the dog park in Punta Gorda. The buildings are homes painted white with seating on the porches and between the homes. There are red umbrellas to protect you from the sun and some picnic tables too. We took Freckles and decided to stop on the way home from the dog park. Our server brought me a lovely cappuccino and Dave a Peroni. This was a basket of fresh baked bread, butter and oil for dipping. Dave ordered the meat lover's wood smoked pizza. Very thin crust, homemade sauce and cheese along with sausage, pepperoni, ham, bacon and prosciutto. It was super delish! I ordered the Gambero salad with beets, cannelloni beans, grilled shrimp and greens. It was light and very tasty. The night was beautiful and we really enjoyed dining outside. We didn't get to try anything from Fresco, which served, coffee, gelato, bakery goods etc. But next time we will! read more

Worst place ever!!!! My family and I have NEVER been treated so poorly by an establishment. My aunt has been here many times and couldn't wait to take us. When we arrived, the host wanted to seat the 3 of us at a 2 person table. It was tiny and would never give us enough room for three dishes and extras. We said we would wait. My aunt started to talk to him when I left. I came back to hear him telling a group of customers she is a "loca chica." This means "crazy lady/girl." How dare him show such disrespect!!!! When I told him he was being rude and that I knew what he said, he stated he wasn't talking to me. He shared that he was talking privately to his friends. Yes...about my elderly aunt. He went on to say I speak English and shouldn't know other languages. Disgusting! What bias! I take pride in knowing that I can communicate with people of Hispanic backgrounds. The man stalked and chased us out of the restaurant yelling at us in FRONT of his customers telling us to leave. He told us to never come back. For what? Because we asked to wait for a table? WE DID NOTHING WRONG. He gave us a table that would not fit us and we simply said we would wait. He got upset and lashed out. He had no right to call any of us loca (crazy). We were about to spend a couple of hundred dollars at his place. The absolute disrespect he showed us was unacceptable. I am so upset by my experience and had to share. A simple apology or explanation to why he got mad would have settled it. Instead, he chose to humiliate us. It was unbearable. To treat us like garbage, in front of customers, because I called him out on making fun of an elderly women (80s) was absolutely horrifying. To mock me because I am English person who knows Spanish was sickening. I am sure I am not the only customer he lost from this experience. Customers looked on at him making a spectacle of himself. Spend your hard money somewhere else where it will be appreciated. This man does not deserve the business and should be run out of town. After we left, we went to another Italian place in town in which the owners and staff couldn't have been sweeter. read more
