All of the food was delicious and tasted fresh. Finally an Italian restaurant serving Fra Diavolo and I don't need to ask for red pepper. It was actually spicy but in the best way, flavor max! My Teen enjoyed gnocchi and I also had a spinach salad with a housemade dressing that didn't get a pic. Dessert and coffee topped the meal off perfectly. Now I'm still on the hunt for a match to Venieros butter cookie with a chocolate drop but this restaurant will ease my homesick feeling for NY Italian food for a while. Thanks George! See you soon.

We were visiting my brother from out of state and this was a must in his eyes and it didn't disappoint. I was told their scampi sauce was an absolute must taste too and it was amazing. The fresh garlic bread tasted like something out of my grandmas home recipe book. I ordered the traditional meat sauce and angel hair pasta. Surely if it was amazing I'd stamp my approval all over this place because it should hold up to my scrutiny and OMG wow!! Definitely as authentic as it gets. The rest of my family picked different meals and the nom nom nom's didn't stop nor did the wow's. The service was impeccable from the hostess, waitress and the live piano player. Very warming environment with a taste of actual traditional recipes. You won't be disappointed. I noticed they also have a catering area for receptions or large parties too so add them to your list for your next get together! Very very well done guys!

While camping outside St. Augustine we decided to take a drive and ended up on Fleming Island, we…read morehave friends in the area whom have always told us about this amazing pizza place. Well it was lunchtime and I happened to see the restaurant as we drove down US-17 so we flipped a u-turn and pulled into the parking lot. This is a very spacious pizza shop with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating as well as a beautiful bar. We were able to get seated immediately and greeted by our server who welcomed us and went over a few of the specials and menu items before taking our drink orders. We decided on the Buffalo Wings to start which are prepared in their brick ovens and never fried, honestly I was a little skeptical but they were pretty amazing and perfectly cooked, then drizzled with a delicious tangy buffalo sauce and sprinkled with a nice portion of gorgonzola cheese this is something I'd definitely order again. We followed these delicious wings with a pepperoni pizza, sounds simple yes but sooooo good the crust was crispy but remained tender and had the perfect chew, the sauce was really good and the pepperoni and cheese was delicious as well. We arrived about 11:30 AM and the restaurant continued to fill as we enjoyed our lunch - the staff here was very friendly and accommodating and the manger stopped by to thank us for coming in and to ensure everything met our expectations. This is definitely a place I'd return too when in the area, we loved this place...

There is something for everyone so not matter who's being difficult on a given day, everyone can find something enjoyable to eat. This is my son's favorite restaurant in Jacksonville. He is a pepperoni pizza person and he will eat an entire pizza happily. I personally like the Flyin' Hawaiian, however this last visit, my sister and I decided to share a Carnivore and a Mac N' Cheese Pizza. The Carnivore was fine, but the Mac N' Cheese was my favorite. It had perfectly cooked pasta and it had a lot of flavor. It was very tasty. Service is always very good. We've never had any issues. There is a good amount of parking, so there is no issue there. Really, it's an easy choice to enjoy a meal out where everyone can order something they will enjoy.

I think Pierre's Eatery deserves five stars for two reasons: For its incredible white pizza and its…read moreamazing customer service! I have to say that Pierre's has one of the best if not the best New York Style White Pizza within the Duval and Clay County area. What differentiates Pierre's white pizza to its competitors is its delicious white sauce. The white sauce is an incredible blend of creamy and buttery flavors which harmonizes well with the mozeralla cheese topping. The white sauce is also generously applied to the pizza to the point where it easily matches the thickness of the mozeralla layer of the pizza. In addition to their delicous white pizza, Pierre's also has consistently great customer service. I've eaten at Pierre's for months now and every employee that served me thus far has been friendly and engaged in helping me find the most satisfying meal choices. This serves as a welcoming reminder that the food industry does not need to be a robotic exchange of food for currency that we have become accustomed to seeing in larger food chains. All in all, I think Pierre's has provided a very satisfying experience. They clearly value their customers and their white pizza provides a unique experience that diversifies them from their competitors. If your looking for a contender for the best New York Style White Pizza in the Duval and Clay County area then definitely give Pierre's Eatery a try!

So in the food court I went looking for something different than the same old stuff that's been there for years. Pierre's stood out amongst the crowd, so I figured "why not?". The prices are very competitive and the portions aren't too small. I the lunch sized option of Baked Ziti with a side of 2 meatballs & a breadstick for $7.99! Now the Ziti was slightly overcooked as were the meatballs, however the taste was ok at best. The meatballs tasted more of breadcrumbs than meat inside and the breadstick which was on the display behind the glass counter sneeze guard was reheated in the pizza oven and was chewy and a bit overseasoned (salty). Maybe it was an off day or watching my Ziti being scraped from a few crockpots next to the register, but I don't know if I'll be giving them a second chance.

It was great to…read moredine with a group so that we could all share multiple dishes and get to try so many menu items. They have a very chic ambiance and a large bar. Our server was amazing! We started with cocktails and I got the Josephine Classic Martini which has both vodka & gin and it was perfection. For appetizers, we ordered the carpaccio, sourdough focaccia, and the 'nduja arancini with a goat cheese crema. All 3 were fabulous and I'm still dreaming about the focaccia bread (garlic soffritto, calabrian chili, served with parmigiano butter). For the mains, we decided to share the caesar salad, rigatoni bolognese, chicken 'nduja, and carrots with whipped ricotta. The bolognese was by far my favorite and I'd love to try more of their pasta dishes in the future. Then onto the desserts! The tiramisu and olive oil cake are not to be missed. The olive oil cake has mascarpone & wildflower honey icing, pistachio, lemon zest, and sea salt -- INCREDIBLE!

It's been a few years since my last visit to Taverna, so I was excited to give it another try…read more Starting with the positives: the space is absolutely gorgeous, and the service was impeccable from start to finish. We loved the gambas al ajillo -- the shrimp had great flavor and just the right amount of heat -- and the grilled sourdough was perfect for soaking up every bit of the delicious sauce. A few things fell short, though. Our table for two felt cramped, especially since it was positioned directly against a wooden divider. I was facing the back of the restaurant, so as right-hander, sitting up against the wall felt awkward and made the space feel even tighter. I'm a huge fan of seafood stews and almost always order them when I see one on the menu, so I was looking forward to the Sicilian Stew. While the overall flavor was good, it leaned a bit too salty for my taste. More disappointing was the fish itself -- it seemed cooked down and stirred into the broth to the point where it acted more like a thickener than a distinct part of the dish. I would have preferred visible pieces of fish with more texture and presence. Overall, the staff was warm and attentive, the service was excellent, and the food arrived promptly. Despite a few drawbacks, I'd still be open to giving Taverna another try in the future.
