The chicken parm with spaghetti was good enough. The chicken was fried perfectly- crispy coating, not soggy as so often can be. The spaghetti was cooked perfectly, al dente. We sat at the bar- best chairs are there. Ozzi at the bar was great. This place has an authentic Italian feel to it. Real pasta, fresh made desserts and some imported from Italy. All the way around- a great experience.

Our waiter was angry and annoyed that I did not pronounce the name of the fish correctly and he told me I was going to get into trouble saying it like that. He seemed very annoyed with us.

The place was only half full but the bar area was packed with live music it was noisy. But they did close a double door leading to the bar which made the dining room more bearable. My wife had the Pain Killer which she loved I just had a coke. Our waitress was very attentive and courteous and prompt. I ordered the Veal Parm. My wife had the Fish Basket and we shared the Fish Bisque that came with my entree. Our order was delivered in less than 15 min. My Veal Parm. Was absolutely delicious and more than I could eat at one sitting. My wife's Fish Basket was also huge and very delicious too. The Fish Bisque was fantastic. Loaded with seafood and very creamy. The ambiance is relaxed and clean. To tell the truth nothing was thumbs down. We will be back.

Food was a bit disappointing and Medicare at best. Not an authentic Italian restaurant at all. I…read morewould give lower stars but our server was extremely friendly and provided exceptional service. Overall, this is an overpriced tourist trap in my opinion. 2/5 - fried conch: bot bad but would not recommend or want to order again. It's essentially kind of like a crab cake but was not that appetizing at all. 2/5 Conch soup: tasted like marinara sauce heated up with potato's, carrot and very little conch meat. 5/5 the garlic bread: was actually quite taste. Soft, warm and flavorful. 4/5 sweet potato fries: can't go wrong with that 2.5/5 meat lover pizza. Crust was a bit burnt. Toppings were good but the sauce was kinda too sour and the dough was not good at all. 10/5: service. Our servicer truly was attentive and friendly.

I'm obsessed with their massive chicken parm, there's soo much melted cheese it's amazing. Also the tortellini is from another world!! So fresh, amazing cheese, and the parmesan cream sauce is so rich and delicious. My husband had the grouper sandwich once, that was also very good. They have good beer selections. Just come here, you won't regret it!! PS, sometimes the service is slow when they're slammed during busy hours, but who cares you're in the keys and good food is worth the wait. Love the food here!

I always say mistakes happen -- what matters most is how a restaurant handles them…read more I ordered carryout from Driftwood in Marathon: chicken fingers from the grill, which are supposed to come with French fries. There's a separate appetizer version that doesn't include fries, and that's what I was given by mistake. When I called, the employee remembered my order and said she thought it was the appetizer. Then she said the simplest words many places forget: "I'm sorry for the inconvenience." She immediately offered options -- refund the fries or drop off a fresh order. I chose the fries. Within minutes, they delivered a full container of hot, delicious fries to my door -- even though I had chosen carryout. The driver apologized again and even included cookies. This is how you make it right for a customer. The food is really good, and the management is even better. Highly recommend giving this place a try.

But this place has the worst acoustics and ambiance...it's incredibly loud even with just five tables inside, and if people (especially kids) are in there screaming and playing with the air hockey table then it's impossible to hear yourself think. I do love that Cheeca Lodge has so many dining options, but this one might be better for take-out to your room or to the pool/beach. I opted for the spaghetti and meatballs which was really good. And my friends got the special of the day, a shrimp risotto (for $38, which is pretty outrageous) which they enjoyed. Overall, I'd skip this on my next visit to Cheeca Lodge. And I definitely would not make a special trip here if I wasn't staying on property.

Given time…read moreconstraints, I ordered two slices of pizza, added meatballs to the pizza and bought a bottle of Dr. Pepper for caffeine too get myself back to Fort Lauderdale after a fun time in Key West. The pizza was so delicious, I wish I had ordered a whole pie so I would have leftovers. The sauce, dough & meatballs were all equally yummy! What also made this stop so great was that the chef and "lady at the front" who turned out to be the new owner, were SO friendly, welcoming and accommodating. The chef is from Massachusetts -- you're getting solid Italian food from up north! The ambiance is of a quick Italian sandwich shop from the northeast. There are cute little table & 2 TVs. It seems like most of the business is takeaway. Either way, I'll be stopping there again in my next trip to the Keys. Free parking lot. The restaurant is very close to US1 & in the same shopping center as Winn Dixie.

New owners are awesome. After a bad experience elsewhere…read morethey reached out. We ordered 2 pizzas and 2 subs. All of the above were excellent. Pizza is the better have had here in the keys. Sausage sub was actually sausage cut down the middle and not pizza topping sausage like in the other place. AND NO STYROFOAM! To save a few bucks, use cash instead of a card. We highly recommend giving the new owners a try as units certainly NOTHING like the previous food was!
