What an incredible experience at Idalia tonight! My husband and I had such a great dinner, and a huge part of that was our server, George. From the start, George was fantastic. He knew the menu, came prepared with recommendations, and absolutely nailed every single one. We started with the Carbonara Fritto, had the Chicken Parm Idalia Style for our main course, and finished with the Caramel Apple Cheesecake -- and honestly, there wasn't a miss in the entire meal. He even offered a wine pairing to complement our dinner, which was such a nice touch. The food was phenomenal, but the level of service really made the experience stand out. There's something special about having a server who knows the menu well enough to confidently guide you through it - and George did exactly that. If you're headed to Idalia, ask for George...and trust his recommendations! We certainly will next time. read more

I'm a start by saying this is easily some of the better Italian food in the area and it's not close, the ambiance of family and big portions and good food is exactly what Italian cuisine is. As someone who has lived in Italian communities and have nonna's prepare me different dishes IDalia gives me that vibe. The customer service is amazing from the hostess to the servers and management. I've had numerous dishes from the lasagna, meatballs, meatball sliders a few kinds of bruschetta and a chicken dish, and their pizza, I've had zero complaints. Everything is well seasoned cooked to proper temperatures and comes out quickly. Between the normal menu and the happy hour menu it's like a Steph Curry shot you can't miss. I highly recommend going to IDalia for lunch or dinner, you will not be disappointed. read more

We went to Restaurant iDalia with some friends and had such a lovely time! The restaurant is cute, the atmosphere is fun, and our waiter was so friendly and personable, even while our table was being a little bit of a mess LOL. He made the whole experience really enjoyable. The biggest thing to keep in mind here is the wait. They don't take reservations, although they do offer call-ahead seating. We called ahead and initially found there was basically no wait, but when we called back about 30 minutes later, it had jumped to more than an hour. So it definitely seems to vary a LOT depending on when you go. Definitely crazy on a Friday or Saturday night. Personally, I would much prefer if they accepted reservations, and the wait situation is probably the biggest deterrent for me. I'd be much more inclined to come back for lunch or an earlier meal when the wait is likely to be more manageable. Food-wise, everything we tried was pretty good! They served complimentary bread and oil which is always a plus. I was SO excited for the garlic pull-apart bread, but it ended up being a little drier than I expected. I was hoping for more buttery, garlicky goodness. That said, it actually got a lot better once we started loading it up with the goat cheese La Toscana, which was delicious. The goat cheese dip with balsamic and basil was really good on its own, but even better paired with some of the other dishes. The Carbonara Fritto was probably the biggest surprise of the night. These crispy breaded pasta cakes were SO good and unlike anything I'd really had before. Definitely a table favorite and something I'd order again. We also had Hugo spritzes, which were very good, and for our entree we went with the chicken Milanese, Adalia style, topped with burrata. It was a solid choice and we really enjoyed it. We also tried some of the pizzas from our friends' orders and thought those were really good as well. The one thing that was a pretty big miss for me was the gelato. I was especially excited because we had tried stracciatella for the first time in Spain a few months ago and loved it, so naturally I had to try it here. Unfortunately, it didn't really remind me of the one we had in Spain, and the texture was the bigger issue for me. It was noticeably gritty rather than smooth and creamy, which just wasn't what I was hoping for from gelato. Overall, we had a really fun experience and I'm glad we tried it! The food was good, the appetizers were especially enjoyable, and the service was fantastic. The long and unpredictable wait is definitely something to keep in mind, and I'd probably plan a return around a less busy time rather than doing another peak dinner. But I'd happily come back and try more of the menu! read more

I went here a couple of weeks ago and had a big lunch. The ambiance and decor was decent for a casual Italian restaurant. The server was nice and tried helping out with some suggestions. We ordered the bolognese, tiramisu, eggplant appetizer, and Ala vodka. The meat on the bolognese was delicious but I wish there was a little more oils, butter, or sauce on the pasta, but still delicious, the Ala vodka did not disappoint but again maybe a tiny bit more sauce, the tiramisu was good, and the eggplant appetizer was decent and the sauce was great but in the future I would like try a different appetizer. We will definitely return to see about consistency etc. I really think it is a good restaurant to try out with a lot of great potential. Food 8.0 Ambiance 7.5 Service 8.0 read more

Welcome addition to the area , upscale modern decor light and airy with outdoor seating area . Went on a busy Father's Day afternoon and sat at the bar where Eva & Kayden did an outstanding job of serving us and making us feel welcomed and now the food .... Started off with the Classic bruschetta which was excellent.. main courses were rigatoni in spicy vodka sauce that was cooked perfectly with just the right amount of sauce , with a kick of red pepper flak - very tasty . Wife had the linguini & shrimp Genovese in a pesto sauce which she loved , again pasta cooked perfectly and shrimp were meaty & tender ... generous portion on both entrees ... desert was pistachio gelato and it was the perfect end to great evening out - Highly Recommend read more

Great addition to Parrish. I visited the other day with a friend for an early dinner and was not disappointed. Server, I believe her name was Christine, was absolutely amazing. Very helpful in suggesting menu items and very attentive. I order a happy hour flight and the lasagna. Drinks were tasty and food was delicious! Love the outdoor space as well. I will definitely return to try other menu items in the near future. read more

Went last night for my husband's birthday dinner with our two adult children. Food was amazing and plentiful...everyone took home leftovers. The service we had was outstanding. We arrived about 520 and got right in. When we left at 630 there was a long wait so the early bird gets the worm for sure. I loved that their seating is flexible. All the furniture moves so they can configure setting for all sizes of groups. Drink menu is quite large. I'm a big cucumber fan and highly recommend the Moccasin Wallow martini. Our total which included 2 alcoholic beverages, an appetizer, 4 mains and a dessert (Tiramisu...delish) was $161. Not bad for a higher end dining experience with quality ingredients, fantastic service and great flavor! read more

We've been excited to try this. It was our first time here and we will definitely be back. The food was delicious! My family and I had the wood-fired pizza, calamari, lasagna, pasta frutti di mare, and chicken milanese Idalia style. We enjoyed it a lot, especially the pizza. I also loved the layout and styling inside. Very trendy and bright. This review would've been 4 stars, maybe 5, but the amount of flies around us and table next to us was distressingly uncomfortable. We never had to swat so many *inside* a restaurant before. It was hard not to think about flies in the kitchen and maybe what else is back there. Our server was sympathetic and brought us napkins to cover our drinks (my husband had to switch out his drink due to one landing in his drink). We asked for a candle/fan but they didn't have any. I didn't see any attempts by staff to get rid of them sadly (idk I'd be trying to swat/kill them). iDalia, please work on this! I'd write a much better review or edit mine if fixed. Overall, still a good experience with good food. Parrish needs more great restaurants like this. Hopefully I won't need a fly swatter next time. read more

The website says there is a happy hour but when I called on a Friday, the woman who answered the phone said they don't have a happy hour so that was disappointing. I did tell her the website is wrong. Then on a Saturday we called for a takeout order and were told they were busy and couldn't take any takeout orders and to call back in 15 minutes. Better customer service would have been to say they were busy and it would take (something like) an hour to have an order made. We waited more than 30 minutes and called back and were told they were busy and to call back, but my partner said we already were told that once, so the woman said she would take the order and it would be 15 minutes. Which was odd. That's no time at all. They did call us after about 30 minutes to say the order was ready which was nice. The chicken parm was not crisp enough. It was kind of soggy and chewy. It seemed mass produced, like a Sysco product. The short rib pasta was very good, the best thing we got. The flatbread was not very crispy, as expected for wood fired though it was fine tasting. One of us liked the Brussels sprouts side and the other did not. All in all, it was an okay experience. I would not rush to go back, but I would not rule it out as there are not many places in Parrish to eat. read more

tonight we went to IDalia-a newly opened Italian restaurant in Parrish!! It was a wonderful time. We were seated right away. They took our drink order and brought bread and oil to the table. My friend had the fungi pizza and burrata salad and she really enjoyed it! I had the Mortadella sandwich which had pistachio cream, torn burrata, arugula and lemon oil on an Italian roll-sooooooo good!! (with truffle fries! Yum!) we sat in the "outside" portion-total under cover and it wasn't bad temperature wise tonight! They have a lot of great looking items on their menu! A enjoyable and tasty dining experience. read more

What an amazing new addition to Parrish. We arrived here with a larger party so we had to wait a little bit to be seated however, while we waited, we enjoyed some really great drinks at the bar. The ambience was very upscale but casual. The food was superb, including their cheese pizza which is unhappy hour was really good along with the clams linguine. I highly recommend this place if you're looking for something new and exciting in Parrish. read more

Restaurant iDalia - My son enjoying his gelato - Italian Near Me - Parrish, Florida

We just moved from New York to Parrish, Florida. We stumbled upon this restaurant, and we were so glad we did. I took home the food. It was phenomenal--the best wood-fired pizza. It is even better than in New York. My only complaint was the pull-apart garlic bread. Still, when I called the manager, Alissa, she went above and beyond. She said she would take care of me the next time I go in. She said it should be delicious when taken home, but the fact that she cared so much about my allergies and the hostess before I ordered was truly phenomenal; she answered, again cared about my allergies, ordered my food, and this is a very good family restaurant. read more

Today, was our first time dining at Restaurant Idalia, and overall we had a pleasant experience. Our server, Tina, was truly exceptional, friendly, attentive, and very knowledgeable about the menu, which made us feel well taken care of throughout our visit. We started with the calamari, which was just okay. The calamari itself was a bit small, and the breading was quite heavy, making it the dominant flavor. However, the marinara sauce served alongside it was very enjoyable. We also tried the eggplant meatballs, which were decent but didn't particularly stand out. My husband ordered the fungi wood-fired pizza and seemed to really enjoy it. I had the wood-fired lasagna with beef bolognese; while it was good, it didn't quite meet expectations. The edges of the pasta were slightly burnt, and the béchamel and ricotta flavors overpowered the bolognese, making the beef less noticeable. On a more positive note, the melon spritzer was refreshing and well-balanced. Tina also treated us to complimentary pistachio shots, which were a nice touch and quite enjoyable. We would be open to returning in the future, perhaps to explore more of the dinner menu. Overall, while the food was satisfactory, the service, especially from Tina, was the highlight of our visit. Thank you for the warm hospitality and excellent service. With a few refinements to the dishes, this could easily become a standout dining experience. Again, We look forward to giving it another try. read more

Sat at the bar on 8-14. Restaurant was slammed. I checked their waitlist and 18 names were on it. I've been here a few times and they seem to stay busy on the weekends. Now, you have a 20 seat bar plus a service well. These owners are expecting two bartenders to make all of the drinks for people at the bar plus the entire restaurant? That's mind bogggling to me and the two you had behind that bar are an absolute joke. The old lady with glasses and her hair that's died blue is so rude and never looks like she ever wants to be there. You had zero management presence behind that bar. Never even saw one anywhere in the entire restaurant. Not worth the money. You've out priced your market. This isn't Tampa or Sarasota. This is Parrish lol. Joke. read more

Finally got to give this place a try and so glad we did! Everything was amazing! We had a party of 8 and were seated almost immediately, our server who we recognized from another restaurant took great care of us and was as amazing as she always has been at other places(iDalia got a good one), food was absolutely delicious! Everything from the drinks, to appetizers, pizza, pasta, salads, and desserts was fantastic! Met one of the owners and his wife and both were very friendly and welcoming. You could tell they cared about the service as they went by each table asking how everything was. We will certainly be coming back. The patio was a nice outside area with many ceiling fans and shades to help keep it cooler. Made it comfortable even on a 90° day. read more

From the owners of Fuego Comida in LWR comes this casual authentic Italian restaurant to an area desperate for non-chain options! The vibe is coastal casual with some high tops, a nice large bar with part of it outside covered & there is a covered outdoor area with TV's. We sat at the outside bar & ordered drinks. We then grazed on the fire roasted clams & some complimentary bread & oil - delish & tasty! My husband enjoyed the homemade pappardelle dish immensely & I had the Rigatoni vodka - so yummy & spicy - loved it! The lasagna & pappardelle are homemade & the rest of the pasta is imported from Italy. Noticed the manager & owner walking around keeping an eye on things. This was the 10th day of their soft opening & you would think they have been open for years! My only comment is parking is a little tough but there is a Publix very close by that I suspect people will be using for parking. read more

This new Italian spot in Parrish as a hidden gem. maybe not so hidden because every time I go it's busy. From the beautiful interior design with Florida sailing windows, modern design white walls that's very welcoming and lively. The service has always been impeccable whether we went for lunch or dinner. The food is always hot and cooked to perfection. Their meatballs must have an extra grind because they are so tender. The chicken parm, which most restaurants miss the mark is delicious for multiple people who have ordered it with us. It's tender and juicy and not dry also not overly smothered in cheese. The calamari is crispy and not chewy and they are currently trying a new bread for which I enjoy much more than the original. The bartenders are also talented with their mixing skills. The bathrooms have always been well maintained. On a super busy night as with most restaurants, it takes a wee bit more patience, but this place is also only months old and they are nailing it. Looking forward to watching their continued growth and perhaps outdoor improvement with industrial fans. read more

First time was great. Secondary owner took pride was out on floor. Second time was really really bad. I alerted of an allergy and was served what I'm allergic to.

We were here for lunch today. Our group of 7 arrived at noon and our table was ready. It is a pretty restaurant. Nice and bright. I had the chicken parmesan. The flavor was fine, but the chicken was pounded very thin. Unfortunately, that made the meat very dry. One person had the lasagna. She even ordered one to go. After her order arrived, she cancelled the to-go order. It just wasn't what she was hoping for. Our server was doing her best. She just couldn't make the food better. Bummer. If you want a so-so lunch for $35, this is your place. read more
