    Lobster on top of angel hair ! My most favorite meal there but everything is really good.
    Michelle D.

    The bar staff are wonderful And friendly. We always eat at the bar to chat. The food is top notch yummy. The ambiance is good usually very busy but reservations not necessary in March. We walk in and have always been able to get a seat.

    Been coming here for years and it's still to this day, the best Italian in key west. The service is always consistent and friendly. The atmosphere is cozy and dark which is perfect for a date night or even a relaxing night with family and friends. The portions of food are always generous and I can't say the same for other Italian restaurants in KW. Definitely a must try while in town!

    Our food was presented well, and tasted even better. The service was mediocre and the ambiance reminded us of an old traditional Italian restaurant. We do recommend!

    Nice Italian restaurant at the quieter side of Old Town in Key West. Good food and services. We came in for dinner based on theirs good reviews one night during our trip and we were not disappointed! The Hugo cocktail is really refreshing especially in hot weather, I can sip it all day :D We tried the perfectly Roasted Brussels Sprouts special appetizer of the day, and Fried Calamari. Hubby opted for the special-Shrimp Fra Diacvolo, and I had the Linguine Pescatore. Big portion on all dishes and both pasta were tasty but just a bit too saucey to our liking.

    Can't past go without being seated

    Love this quaint inconspicuous place full of personality, incredible service and incredible grub.I ordered the calamari and for dinner, the Veal Parmigiana. My buddy Bob (spelled backwards) had the chicken Parmigiana. Love this place and although parking is challenging. I will certainly come back time and time again when in Key West. I wanted to mention CoCo and Milagros and I think Carlos for great service, entertainment and smiles....

    10/10 experience from start to finish. My wife and I came here during our honeymoon, and this meal turned into one of the highlights of our entire trip. We ordered a lobster dish and a shrimp entrée (I wish I remembered the exact names because wow--they were both phenomenal). The flavors were rich, fresh, and absolutely memorable. And then came the garlic toast... Our amazing server told us it was the best on the island, and she was not lying. Perfectly crispy, buttery, and loaded with flavor--easily a 10/10 on its own. Beyond the incredible food, the atmosphere was so romantic, making it a perfect place for a honeymoon dinner. Our server went above and beyond--not just with her attentiveness, but with her genuine warmth. She asked about our trip, and when we told her we were celebrating our honeymoon, she shared in our excitement with such heartfelt joy. To top it off, she surprised us with a tiramisu dessert to celebrate--and that thoughtful gesture meant the world to us. This was more than just dinner--it was a special memory we'll never forget. Amazing food, incredible service, and a truly beautiful experience. Highly recommend.

    Lobster Capellini.
    Scott T.

    What a terrific early dinner! My wife and I had the Seafood Scampi with two spiny lobster tails and Linguine Pescatore with clams, lobster tail, clams and fish! These meals are to die for...I mean they both were great and filling. To top it off with Mojitos. The server was outstanding and July is typically the slow season but worth our time as we were able to enjoy our meal in a nice setting. The next time you are in Key West or have time to visit, stop by for an enjoyable meal with soft music.

    My wife & I celebrated our 50th Wedding Anniversary and chose Antonia's as a must eat experience…read more It's located on Duval Street. The moment we walked in we knew this was going to be amazing and Antonia's (service, food and atmosphere) did not disappoint. After my wife ordered a cocktail sh ordered the GROUPER with toasted gnocchi, pine nuts, mushrooms, key lime butter. I ordered the LAMB OSSO BUCO in chianti braised sauce. One could say I am an Osso Buco Connoisseur. I can say without reservation this was the most tender and flavorful I have ever had the pleasure of eating. It's that good. Meat was succulent, the chanti braised sauce was also amazing so was the really tasty mash potatoes and asparagus. My wife made yummy sounds with every bit of her grouper. Last and certainly not least is the top notch attentive service and atmosphere. You really need to try this restaurant it's worth every dollar. IMO Antonia's IS a 10 Michelin Star Restaurant.

She then came back and very rudely stated "oh that menu's not for you, it's for locals and you aren't a local". She then snatched it away and gave us a new one. We ordered a nice bottle of wine, some calamari and bread. The bartender was not only ignoring us but the rest of the bar as she proceeded to chat with three ladies at the end of the bar. Our food sat on the bar for 10 minutes before she finally got around to delivering it to us. By that time the calamari was cold and not edible. I called her out on being rude and she proceeded to argue with us. Apparently she didn't get the memo that her job is dependent upon tourists. And btw, we live in Florida so not that far away. I have never been treated so poorly and insulted by someone's tone and demeanor than by this woman. My advise, don't sit at the bar or don't waste your time at all. Clearly they are not tourist friendly. I wish I could comment on the food but we never got that far.

    We came across Blackfin Bistro on our last night in Key West. If we had discovered it earlier in…read morethe trip, it likely would have earned a repeat visit. Food Blackfin is a beer and wine restaurant, so no cocktails. I'm not a big drinker, but I do enjoy when a place offers creative house cocktails. Since I'm not much of a wine or beer person either, I was initially a bit disappointed. That changed quickly when I saw they served Stiegl Grapefruit Radler. That alone felt like a small vacation in a glass. The menu offers plenty of choices to satisfy almost any palate. We weren't especially hungry, so we opted for a lighter approach: * Grilled Octopus * Tempura Green Beans * Spinach and Goat Cheese Salad Everything we ordered was very good. The salad was fresh and thoughtfully balanced, with bacon, goat cheese, apple, and honey bringing layers of flavor. It was served with a crusty baguette. We don't normally eat bread, but this was a welcome addition. The grilled octopus was tender, flavorful, and served hot. Always a good sign. The tempura items were nicely executed, lightly battered and not greasy. The green beans were crisp with delicate seasoning, served alongside a balsamic glaze dipping sauce that complemented without overpowering. Service Service was attentive throughout the evening. We never felt forgotten, and we never felt rushed. The pacing was natural and relaxed. Thank you, Gabor. Atmosphere The indoor dining area feels quiet and intimate. The outdoor patio in the back leans more casual. Surrounded by a tall fence and shaded by trees that form natural canopies, it offers a sense of privacy that can be hard to find in many of the more open-air restaurants along Duval Street. Even though this was a lighter, abbreviated meal for us, my sense is that Blackfin would be an excellent choice for a full dinner. We would definitely plan to return on our next visit to Key West.

The dining room is small, there's only a couple seatings each night, it's cash only, and it's BYOB. We started with the clams and scallops. The scallops were one of the best things I ate during our entire time in Key West. For dinner I had the fish special, and my husband had the filet. Both were outstanding. His steak was cooked perfectly, and the fish was one of those dishes where every bite makes you stop talking for a second. You can watch the food being prepared right in front of you, which only adds to the experience. My biggest mistake was not going earlier in our trip.

The young man who greeted us was unwelcoming -- he seated us in a corner without offering menus or acknowledging us further. The setup of the restaurant also gave us pause. The kitchen was open and exposed on the floor with no visible ventilation, leaving the food odors to linger heavily in the air -- the kind that cling to your clothes long after you leave. Between the lackluster service and the uncomfortable environment, we didn't get a good feeling about the place and decided to leave. One more thing worth noting for anyone planning to visit: the restaurant does not serve alcohol, so you'll need to bring your own beverages.
