    Brooklyn Boy meat pizza with Jamaican and Buffalo style wings
    Travis W.

    Great tasting food, friendly and attentive staff and an amazing and clean restaurant. All this can be found here at Roostica. I had the pleasure of having their Jamaican and Buffalo style wood fired wings. Both were great but loved their island flavor more. This was accompanied by the Brooklyn boy pizza. A decent sized pizza enough to feed two filled with all sorts of meats and flavors. Overall I really liked it here and would certainly come back again to try the rest of their menu.

    Tiramisu!

    Hard to decide where to eat when you're in the Florida Keys, but when we're at home, we always end up choosing our favorite Italian restaurant...so.... With that in mind, we had passed this place on our way to a funeral today and just the name stuck with me... When I looked at the reviews, they (for some completely unknown reason) didn't have the highest score amongst their competitors. Still, we dressed and went. Parking ANYWHERE is difficult, but we found a spot and headed inside, passing customers heading to their vehicles with lots of boxes of food...that's a good sign! We came mainly for the wood-fired oven pizza. Appetizers? Hmmmm.... Couldn't resist getting the Italian sausage with onions and peppers to share. The nice plump decently sized links with the roasted onions and grilled peppers along with their house "gravy" (marinara) made our hearts skip a beat when they brought them out to us...only one problem! You expect us not to fight over the 3rd sausage???? A lovely piece of focaccia bread was neatly placed up top and we began our journey...firm but tender, bursting with flavor! These were delicious!! The added bonus of the onions and peppers and THAT SAUCE! Oh my God! Their sauce is literally TO DIE FOR!!!! At least we know where to go for sure when we come to visit family here Our appetizer was followed by our Roostica pizza we ordered but we had them add spicy salami (which we found out they use as their pepperoni...great flavor but VERY SPICY). The crust? THE ABSOLUTE BEST! The sauce? *chef's kiss * toppings? Perfecto! Only drawback was hot VERY spicy that salami is. A little less spicy and it would've been complete perfection. We knocked out that first pizza and decided we'd try another but with pepperoni instead, only to find out they use that spicy salami as their pepperoni We tried another Roostica pizza, but it just wasn't as good without the spicy salami. Darn it! We took half of that one to go back to the BNB and possibly for tomorrow to munch on. Great service here, by the way. Fabulous waitress, enthusiastic and happy to be there. Our meals came out perfect, hot and delicious. I can't say enough good things about this place. Needless to say, we were very impressed. Last but not least, they DO have tiramisu. Sorry, but that and cannoli are my two favorite things in the whole world. I just HAD to have some. Light, creamy, delicious strawberry on top. Again, perfection. I can't see any reason at all this place doesn't get 5 stars from every patron. If you come to the Keys and you're looking for not just good, but GREAT Italian food that's fresh...try them out. I'm sure you'll be more than pleased with your choice!

    Im told this a local spot. Well it was welcoming and makes you feel like a local that's for sure. Everyone so friendly, staff and consumers alike. I ended up going two nights in a row. The pizza is delicious. The wine selection is good and and well I was curious about the pasta so had to go back to try that. I didn't regret it. Salad, pasta special of the day (they have one each day of the week, I had the spicy rigotoni). Place is busy, but in the most welcoming way. Good energy and delicious food. Would definitely be back and recommend even if you're from the nyc area and have good pizza back home. Visit this place and feel at home. Thank you roostica for the hospitality and the solid good food!

    Exactly as I remember! We shared a white pizza, the Fig and Pig, and each ordered a salad. The water carries were emptied several times and much appreciated. Initially, we thought there would be a wait, but we were ushered into the back patio and had an excellent meal

    Super awesome pasta ,super fresh!!!'

    Roostica!!! This place lives up to its name. The best pasta and pizza joint in the keys. They have the best pizza around. They gave service with a smile. The ambiance is like a little bit of Italy in the Florida keys . We will be back.!!!

    Great pizza in Key West! The HELLS KITCHEN DIAVOLA - San Marzano Tomatoes, mozzarella, oregano, garlic, SPICY salami and pecorino cheese was great but I tried others at the table too including the TRUFFLE AND MUSHROOMS - Mozzarella, pecorino, mushrooms, prosciuito and truffles, and the BUFFALO CHICKEN PIZZA - The new local's favorite combination! Yes, they were all great! Service for our large group was outstanding and, just going there on a whim, we didn't have to wait long to get the large table outside. Inside or outside, you will be happy here!

    I've been here countless times since my first review and enjoy it. I've come to terms with the fact that the appetizers & pizza are better than the entrees. My favorite appetizer is the burrata. With the little toasts and pesto and prosciutto... YUM! Everything else I mentioned prior is also still delicious. The salads are small for the price so I would skip out on those. Also, their lunch sandwich specials are great. The bread they use is just so good.

    Roostica is a cute wood fired pizza restaurant that tucked away on Stock Island. They have an enormous patio with complete coverage from the sun and lots of fans to keep the air flowing and the bugs at bay! We tried the lobster pizza was really tasty, but not my favorite on the island. They use warm water lobster rather than Maine lobster which is my preference. I didn't get to try the other pizzas, but I am absolutely certain the other pizza options would be delicious, as the sauce was on point. We will be back again on our next visit!

    Definitely think you should try out this place if you're in the area and looking for pizza! The pizza we got tasted great itself, but the portions were rather small for the price that we paid unfortunately. The overall atmosphere was great and the staff was friendly so wouldn't mind eating here again. Steak could have been a little more flavorful but was still pretty good!

The bar tender/server provided perfunctory service. He only offered my husband seats in the direct sun when there were seats not in the sun. I moved the umbrella to get dine relief from the sun, but it didn't help. Despite taking out order and bringing us our food and drink it was pretty much self serve. I had to leave my table to get a refill in my tea and again to get my cocktail to go and to ask for our ticket. At one point he was FaceTiming someone. The flavor of the lobster pizza was good, but the quantity of lobster and overall pizza just wasn't as memorable as in the past. Mind you, in 2022 we went back twice in a week to get this pizza and service. I made sure my sister and brother-in-law stopped to get the lobster pizza with their trip in the past year. Maybe because this is the slow season so things are a bit off, but with so many new laces to try it was a bit disappointing this evening.

There are certainly other options to consider on KW. In the past we had breakfast at La Grignote in addition to a few others, but always came back for their friendly, welcoming hospitality, cleanliness and of course DELICIOUS fare.

The service was excellent, and I had one of the strongest cups of coffee I've ever tasted. I ordered the French toast, and it was absolutely amazing. They also had a very good-looking selection of desserts and pastries that all looked delicious. There's something wonderfully quirky about the place, almost as if some old Key West spirit tucked away a little French café and enchanted it with the aroma of coffee, butter, and sugar. I wouldn't be surprised if the pastries were baked under a full moon. I would definitely return to try some of the other food. La Grignote is a delightful little find with great service, delicious food, and just the right amount of old-Key-West charm.
