Caesar Salad -LG
Atira S.

Excellent service, great food! We made a reservation online and were seated immediately. From start to finish, the service was amazing. Cassidy and the rest of the staff were so attentive and friendly. Our plates were cleared between each course, and they timed bringing out the food perfectly. The food was fresh and so tasty. Highly recommend the Caesar salad and CM pizza! Their warm focaccia was also excellent I can't wait to be back! Shout to to cassidy for a great first time experience!

Margarita Pizza with onions and garlic
Mike S.

Having been to this restaurant many times for delicious dinners, I decided to finally try the pizza. I ordered a 12 inch pizza with two toppings, and it came to $28. A little pricey, but if it's good pizza, it's not a horrible price. But this pizza was not even as good as pizza I would get at Little Caesar's. The crust is paper, thin and a margarita pizza normally has sliced tomatoes on it. There were no sliced tomatoes to be found. It was just tomato sauce with cheese, but the size of the pizza and the thinness of the crust I would not have wanted to pay more than $12-$15 for this pizza. I highly recommend this place for the dinners and their specials. But I would skip the pizza line.

Impressed with service and food. Every night before 6 pm is sunset m menu. You pick your entree and receive salad and scoop of gelato. Had shrimp parmigiana with penne . Good tasty portion. Had Caesar salad and vanilla gelato . Children meals at $12 were large. Thought at first they were for the adults. Warm comfortable with outdoor seating also.

Fantastic overall experience today for a late lunch / early dinner. Last time I came to eat at this location was when it was originally Sal's. Because of the odd time, we were literally the only customers. We had our kids so they provided wikki stix, which was a pleasant change from your typical crayons. My daughter loved them and definitely kept her busy until the food arrived. My son on the other hand could careless. We were first served a starter bread that looked amazing, it had garlic, onions and I believe tomatoes in it, impressive for free bread. We're a sucker for calamari, and these tasted like they are made fresh, nothing like the thin and somewhat chewy, previously frozen type stuff you find in most restaurants. Their Sunday gravy was tasty but the pepper aioli was the winner for pairing. The pizza was thin with the right amount of crisp. Sauce was great but would've been better with just a little more cheese. Also, love the freshly grated parm instead of the shaker stuff. I'd say the best part of our experience was our waitress Melissa. She was super friendly and attentive. She brought us our food quickly and continued to check up on us, just what you'd expect from excellent service which we haven't received in awhile, and extra points for her interaction with the kids.

Welcome to Cucina Moderna

We usually go to the Cucina Moderna in Boynton Beach, but they are very popular & we couldn't get a reservation. So we went to the Lake Worth location and had a comparably good meal. The restaurant is fairly small and had an open, welcoming feel. Although we were seated right away, our server didn't come to our table for an inordinately long time. Her service throughout our dining experience was not the best. She may have been a bit overloaded. Her co-workers did seem a bit more organized and efficient. We still enjoyed tasty dinners from the Sunset menu, which included salad, soft drinks/hot tea, entrees and gelato. Our dinners also included Cucina Moderna's fabulous focaccia bread and olive oil. It's a great value and draws a crowd. We each ordered the chicken parmesan with a side of spaghetti. The chicken was a little tougher than usual albeit still good. And we like their rich tomato sauce. The restaurant offers a variety of gelato flavors, which are the perfect way to end a nice Italian dinner. As we were leaving, the manager handed my wife a rose because it was Valentine's Day. A very thoughtful gesture (which made me look bad because I didn't give her any flowers!)

Complimentary Bread and Olive Oil Dip
Nick O.

Let's start with the complementary warm bread with an olive oil and ground pepper dip. Delicious! We ordered the fried calamari appetizer, which came with two dipping sauces. Excellent. My son ordered the cauliflower crust pepperoni and sausage pizza, no cheese and it was perfect for him. We ordered the large meat lovers pizza. Also very good. And I ordered the an Italian grinder, which came with truffle Parmesan drizzle. Fantastic. My pictures don't do justice, but trust me, come and eat here. You will not be disappointed.

Chicken parm very generous portion
Suphot B.

Came here to celebrate my Birthday with my family a few day ago. We went in around 4.30pm, it was great not many patrons yet. So we got our door fairly quickly. We eat here quite often since we moved to Boynton about 6-7 years ago. Not much to complain about food. Most entrees tasted great and fairly consistent, portions are generous as well. Only complaint I have is that it seems like the Linguini Clam has gotten more salty over the years. Might have been just us. Deserts always great! Except this time they forgot the ice cream that supposed to come with the dessert. Server asked if we still want it but we were very full at that point. We love the Italian decor too!! Especially my daughter

Authentic Italian lasagna
Barbara J.

Authentic Italian lasagna. Reasonable prices especially on the early bird menu. I love the fresh house made bread served with dinner and olive oil. You must stay for the amazing gelato served at the end.

The pizza is excellent and the people running it are awesome... friendly and accommodating... they care about their customers and have a great attitude. I went the day before their pizza was voted the Best in Palm Beach County for 2025. In that regard, it's worthy of the award. Was impressed with my first visit here... started with a super fresh salad, excellent. Loved my slice of "The Trio"... Fresh Mozzarella, Pesto, Vodka Sauce while I waited for my pie. Pizza was great but would love this pie with a thinner crust... then has the potential to be one of the best pies anywhere. When I spoke to the pizza maker, he understood, and said his customers like it like this, but next time I order a pie, ask for a thinner crust and they will make it that way. That is impressive... and exciting! Be back for that soon, and report on it. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Ambiance, who can ask for anything better then a water front view!! Service is good and fast. I will be back to try the pizza next.

Remember when your teachers assigned "required reading" for the summer? Oceano Kitchen should be…read more"required dining." This is a special place... and one of my absolute favorites. A casually elegant setting where you can relax and enjoy the creative, original cooking of Chef Jeremy Bearman, along with the outstanding pastries and desserts crafted by his wife, Cyndi Bearman. Sitting at the bar, sipping a glass of Ersol Chardonnay while looking over the menu... honestly, there's no place I'd rather be. Tonight's Watermelon & Tomato Panzanella Salad was everything summer should be... fresh, vibrant, and full of clean flavors. Their pizzas are always excellent. There's the consistently terrific Straight Shooter Pizza, along with seasonal specialty pizzas inspired by what's freshest in the market. Tonight we enjoyed the Andouille & Corn Pizza... another winner. Dessert is never an afterthought here. In fact, Oceano is one of the rare restaurants where I always plan on saving room because it would be a shame to miss what comes at the end of the meal. The Coconut Cream Pie was absolutely fantastic. Service from Erick and Ayn was outstanding, as always. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED... SPECIAL PLACE

It was definitely a love at first site thing, and wow was it packed! Everyone was dressed well, having a great time. Honestly, I hear many places struggling in summer in Palm Beach county, but not this place! The mushroom pizza we ordered was fantastic, easily 10/10. The mushrooms were excellent, there was a nice char on the crust, the cheese was deliciously melty, yum. We also had a bottle of Chablis that was delightful. For dinner, we ordered a pasta dish that was also great. For dessert, we went with a shortbread cheesecake dessert which was very gastronomic. I loved everything. The only reason I am not giving them 5/5 was because my husband called ahead of time to request a desert with a candle in it AND he asked the front desk multiple times to make sure they had a dessert setup for my birthday and they did not, so he was really upset about that (I didn't mind). Our server was really sweet and knowledgeable. I guess she wasn't related the information, not her fault. I didn't realize how packed it would be here in July! We will definitely be back. It was very California like inside with the wooden panels and the bottles of wine on full display, along with beachy pics, and lots of natural light along with a cute back patio area.
