Island Italian

Ended up trying this restaurant a little different from normal Italian restaurants but was comfortable and staff was friendly and helpful food was good and but was heavy on certain spices overall enjoyed.

Edit... came back again the next night for a second run. Again, the staff is as welcoming as the food is delicious. This time we saved room for tiramisu and cannoli...WOW. Vacation calories don't count... right? Seriously, go give these guys your business.

5 stars aren't nearly enough. This place is FANTASTIC! Susan and the team took great care of us. It's hard to say which we enjoyed more, the food or the hospitality. Both were excellent and both made for an unforgettable experience that we were not expecting.

After a long day at the beach, shopping, exploring, etc. my family was just looking for a quick pizza when we stumbled onto their reviews and gave it a shot. Susan pointed to the lasagna as a specialty of the house... ✔️. We added two pizzas; half cheese/half pineapple, and a chicken, mushroom, spinach with Alfredo sauce. Can't forget the calamari appetizer that got the party started.

The calamari was really well seasoned and crispy. The lasagna was definitely the star player; robust meat sauce, cheesy, and generously portioned. The pizzas were large with lots of great toppings. The crust was a little more bready than I normally like, but that's just a personal preference. No disappointments here... Everything was super delicious! (We didn't have room for dessert, but those looked awesome too! Cannoli, anyone? )

Dont be deceived by the exterior. This is definitely a "don't judge a book by its cover" kind of place. Walking in, you are immediately met with a welcoming and family-friendly atmosphere. Spacious dining room and a great bar. Live music was featured on the night we were there.

We left stuffed, happy, and feeling like we made a treasured discovery that we hope to visit again and again. I completely and absolutely recommend Island Italian!

Waitress was very nice. I ordered the shrimp po'boy with crispy fries. My husband ordered the rueben with crispy fries. The po'boy was delicious. The sauce on it added a little something to it. The sandwich could actually do without the cheddar cheese. The fries were done perfectly. My husband's rueben was delicious. I never eat them, and liked the taste I had enough, that I would order it. Looking forward to trying other things there.

Our first time dining here. Our waitress, Jolanta gave us the best customer service and some great recommendations . Our appetizer, salads and entrees were so delicious. Definitely making Island Italian one of our go to spots.
