    Over the top! We are here for track so obviously pasta is a must! We visited on a cold night and upon arrival I knew it would be good--it had that Pasta feel. We were going to dine in but changed our mind and ordered at the counter. The staff BROUGHT our meal to the car without being asked!!! Above and beyond. The food was yummy and the bread was to die for! We may just be back tomorrow and maybe Saturday too!

    I love this place. After several years I am still ordering from them. So many reasons why. They have a parking lot! If you want to check them out and don't live at the oceanfront then you can park your car for free. It's small inside and very casual. I always get delivery but tonight I went to pick it up. You can walk off the beach and stop in and get a pizza. Very casual. Prices are very reasonable and the food is good. Consistent. And if you get delivery they package it very well. The spinach roll is my favorite.....I could get it every week. The staff is very friendly and I'm pretty sure they know me by now. Definitely check them out for casual and reasonable and consistently good food.

    We've eaten here a few times and it is always excellent. This time was delivery to our hotel during Covid. We ordered pasta marinara, chicken piccata, and chicken tenders. Delivery was so much faster than expected and everything was nicely wrapped in Saran to prevent leaks and all necessary accessories provided (utensils, plates). Chicken tenders were really crispy with good flavor. Chicken picatta was a generous portion and delicious. They did forget to include the marinara (requested on side and parm), but I called and they delivered those in a blink of an eye. The order included a nice, warm loaf of bread. Prices are very reasonable.

    With good reviews, we decided to give 19th St. Italian Bistro a shot, even though their were three pizza/Italian restaurants within two blocks of our hotel (35th and Atlantic). Since it was further away, we decided that delivery was the way to go. I did have an issue with the delivery person who went to the wrong hotel. I would expect that restaurants in the oceanfront area are pretty familiar with the hotels in the area, but the delivery guy was pretty lost. As for the food (pizza, penne, and salad) were all above average. Good portions for the salad and penne and freshly sliced Italian bread wrapped in foil. Despite not getting our food until about an hour after I ordered, hot items were reasonably hot.

    Food was great!! service was excellent!! Ambiance was fantastic!! Food smells amazing!!

    Ask the Community - 19 Italian Bistro

    Do they have dairy-free options (pizza, pasta, or anything else)?

    You can always ask for the salads with no cheese. Also probably no dairy in spaghetti and marinara. Not sure if the meatballs have cheese in them. Unfortunately no actual dairy-free cheese option yet. Call the owner, Saif, and ask about other… 

    Do they have gluten free pizza or pasta?

    No they do not but have many other amazing items that are gluten free.

It's like a family style and I would love to go with a group and we all share. They also have a happy hour. I will definitely be back. Now....my 92 year old mothers complaints. 1. It was too cold. We were going to move but they had a big fan blowing and they turned it away from her. Now take that with a grain of salt because the heat in her room is set to 76 and it's April. 2. It was too loud. Since the kitchen is open you can hear the cooks doing cook things. She was irritated by the noises coming from the kitchen but once again....grain of salt. The volume on her TV is at 80 and she can't hear it but can hear the kitchen noises. 3. The seat was too hard. Once again....grain of salt. She is skin and bones but I will bring her something to sit on next time. She actually did enjoy the food but I got the leftovers. :) We will be back.

We sat in the bar area, which I'd definitely recommend if you're going for a more laid back vibe and want to take advantage of happy hour. First of all, happy hour is legit! They have half off select appetizers and drinks in the bar, which is always a win. We ordered the pizza of the day (supreme) and it did not disappoint. Crispy crust, generous toppings, and that classic Italian comfort flavor you're hoping for. We also grabbed the bolognese, which was half off for happy hour, and it was rich, hearty, and perfect for sharing (or not). And yes... martinis were half off, so obviously I had to get an espresso martini. Smooth, not too sweet, and exactly what I needed to balance out all the carbs. Our waiter was incredibly friendly and gave great suggestions without being pushy, which always makes a difference. On top of that, there was a man playing the piano, violin, and singing ... fully setting the mood. He absolutely got me when he started playing the Titanic song. Instant nostalgia. The whole place has an old-school Italian feel. Warm, welcoming, and the kind of spot you could linger in for hours. I also love that they do specials throughout the week, so it feels like a place you can keep coming back to and try something new. Great food, great drinks, great atmosphere. Il Giardino is officially on my repeat list.

The food was good once it arrived, but we waited nearly two hours to receive it. Unfortunately, the service was just as disappointing--slow, inattentive, and far below what we've come to expect. After so many great visits over the years, this experience was especially frustrating. As a result, we'll be taking this destination out of our annual vacation rotation next year and trying somewhere else instead.

We were greeted immediately, seated right away, and our waitress was attentive and friendly throughout the evening. Before ordering, I actually spoke with the owner, Gaston, because I wanted his recommendation for the best steak on the menu. He confidently recommended the Cowboy Ribeye, assuring me that it was one of their signature steaks. I ordered it medium rare with a little char, exactly the way I enjoy it. I also asked if I could substitute the mashed potatoes and broccoli for another side since I don't eat either of those. I was told substitutions were not allowed. For a $60 steak, I found that disappointing. I wasn't asking for anything extravagant--just a different vegetable or a simple side salad. When my steak arrived, it was much smaller than I expected for the price and didn't resemble the Cowboy Ribeye I was anticipating. It was cooked slightly over medium rare, and while it wasn't terrible, the flavor was only average and had a slightly off taste, almost as if the broiler hadn't been cleaned recently. To make matters worse, the mashed potatoes and broccoli I had specifically asked to leave off the plate were served anyway. To be fair, the service was excellent. Our waitress handled everything professionally and even apologized for the sides, explaining the kitchen had plated them before she could stop it. The chicken scallopini ordered by someone else in our party was very good, and the other chicken entrées were also enjoyed. Unfortunately, I came for the steak, and that's where the experience fell well short of expectations. At this price point, I expected a high-quality cut of beef, some flexibility with side dishes, and an overall experience that matched the cost. Instead, it felt like every effort was made to minimize portions and avoid accommodating a simple request. I always try to support local restaurants, and I don't enjoy leaving negative reviews. But when you're paying premium prices, the food should reflect it. Based on my experience, I can't recommend the steaks here.
