Mangia! Never would have expected to find such a great Italian deli here in Florida. Counter…read moreservice was so polite. Table delivery came as items were finished. Lasagna portions could definitely serve 2 for lunch. Garlic knots were some of the best I've had- you're going to want more than the 1 served with your entree. Flatbread pizza was tasty. Very thinly sliced eggplant for the parm: kudos! Breading was thin but held up nicely to the sauce. Sauce flavor is bright and tastes just crushed. Only observation is that a little bit of olive oil and garlic with extended cooking time would produce a deeper flavor but to each his own. We fo enjoyed our lunch: worth jumping off the highway.

I do not understand all the good reviews here. I wanted to like it, local place vs a chain, but…read morejust can't recommend. I expected to walk into the scent of marinara, herbs and garlic wafting through the air but no real Italian restaurant vibe going on. Pasta is overcooked (soft). Marinara has no flavor and a little watery. Salad looked better than it tasted with blah olives fresh from a can where they were soaked in water. Lady at the counter wore the same pair of gloves doing numerous activities over the course of 45 minutes. Other employees sat around a table staring at their phones looking totally checked out while chairs were left out in the way, random leftover Napkins were on tables and dirty dishes stacked up at the return station. Not worth it.

I've been craving a taco pizza and asked if they might be able to make it on a Tuesday since they have everything needed, and they said they could. It's Tuesday, and I ordered the pizza over the phone, just picked it up, and started eating it... this is the BEST taco pizza I have ever had (I've had quite a few). Rich, the pizza master, used refried beans with queso for the base, then added meat, olives, onions, tomatoes, and lettuce. I haven't eaten this much food in a while. I cannot wait until next Tuesday!

We got there got sat down right away and had an awesome server named Sissy, its alot Bigger once you get inside, and the atmosphere, color scheme and music ambiance is a perfect trifecta. We ordered 2 of our favorite Italian appetizers, if they are on the menu at a restaurant we always order them Mozzarella Caprese and Bruschetta. And then order our main meals. They were perfectly spaced apart so that we could enjoy each item.Sissy checked back with us regularly to make sure we were good, some excellent service!! Not only only are they in my Top 3 Italian spots, they have taken over the #1 spot in North Florida!! There isnt a thing i can say negatively about this restaurant, only thing i wish it were in Gainesville!! Whatever you got do to get out to Branford to try them out, DO IT!! !

When I told our server she said they weren't from Cedar Key. They were good but not what we had hoped for. My one critique would be the bread.

We then both had seafood dinners that were tasty and the seafood was cooked perfectly but they served rolls that, again, were poor quality. Wine selections are limited.
