    This is a must every time we are in the area. You can't go wrong with the pizza and I always enjoy the eggplant rollitini. The staff is super friendly and they work quickly. Stop by Genovese's for delicious Italian food!

    Confused

    Tonight we stopped in at around 4 pm and it was very empty. The only problem was a fly, that kept pestering us. We ordered three different pizzas amongst us, and they were super greasy. They have started putting cardboard under the pizza to absorb the grease. Between the three couples we spent about $135.00 with drinks 1 small, and 2 medium pizzas. A little pricey for very, very greasy pizza.

    Wow! Don't miss this favorite spot of locals/regulars! We entered this cozy, family-style restaurant with its attractive Mediterranean-style mural on the back wall. We seated ourselves and a friendly hostess, with a great smile, made us feel welcome and quickly brought menus and took our beverage order. We ordered a delicious "spinach Alfredo pizza" with spinach, obviously, Alfredo sauce, mozzarella, and pecorino Romano. What was amazing was the crust! Literally, the pizza crust was one of the best that I've ever had. I almost never eat pizza crusts, but I gobbled this one right up! It was light, crispy, and yummy! We also ordered some cheesy garlic bread for carb excess and it was good too! Not thick, gummy, dense, too doughy, etc. I'd love to return to try other items like their salads. Salads were seen making their way to other tables and they looked very fresh! This is a place often frequented by regulars. You'll probably become a regular too, after enjoying one of their pizzas!

It's a small things that matter. The food is always good. The service is always friendly and the bear usually cold, wet and fizzy. Thank you very much you have no idea how you saved the evening

    Sad I wanted this long to try them! We had fantastic service out on the patio despite the place…read moregrowing busier by the minute. While the patio is nicely designed and has comfy wicker chairs, the parking lot traffic does take a bit from the ambiance. But hey, how often can I dine outside in Florida without dying of heat or mosquitos or drowning in a downpour. They had a ton of delicious specials going but I like to try places for the first time based on my favorite dishes. However, I can't pass up octopus carpaccio and while it was delicious, the slices stuck to the plate which the waiter attributed to being outside where it warmed up. Next time, calamari for sure! I got the fettuccine bolognese as I'm still chasing a sauce that isn't just ground beef added to marinara. I'm happy to say it's the best bolognaise I've found in Central Florida! Their pasta was cooked perfectly and the sauce was rich and not overly tomatoey or sweet like most places. It also was fully tossed so it clung to the noodles. Dad was in a pizza mood but was definitely temped by the veal chop special. He ended up with the all in pie and I knew it was a winner when he ate the crust. He's very picky about crust and this hit the mark on texture and taste! So yes, the love this group has for Don Giovanni is real and if you haven't tried it I definitely recommend it!

    ABSOLUTELY AMAZING ITALIAN FOOD!…read more My son and I stopped at Tiano's on a whim Saturday evening, and I am SO glad we did! We were heading back home to Fort Pierce after stopping at Bass Pro Shop and Guitar Center when I spotted this Italian restaurant and told my son, "I am really craving pasta." We decided to give Tiano's a try. OH. MY. GOODNESS. From the very first bite, we were blown away. We started with the bruschetta, and I am not exaggerating when I say it was the best bruschetta I have ever had in my life. Then came the Caesar salad, which was absolutely delicious, and finally I ended up in pasta HEAVEN with the Shrimp Fettuccine Alfredo. The shrimp, the pasta, the sauce--EVERYTHING was incredible. I honestly cannot remember having better Italian food. My son ordered the Shrimp Scampi, and this is probably the best review I can give Tiano's: the boy basically stopped talking. He just sat there eating and moaning with every bite. When he finally spoke again, he said, "I cannot get over how good this is. This is the best shrimp scampi I have ever had!" And THE BREAD!!! Their bread is baked in the fire oven and practically melts in your mouth. Absolutely incredible. We enjoyed everything so much that we had to personally tell both the cook and the manager how impressed we were. They were so personable, welcoming, and down-to-earth, which made an already wonderful experience even better. My only complaint is that Tiano's isn't closer to Fort Pierce because I would probably eat there ALL THE TIME... although maybe it's a good thing for my waistline that I can't! Great job, Tiano's! You gained two very happy customers Saturday night. Whenever we are back in the area, you can absolutely count on us stopping in again. Five stars isn't enough!

    What an experience from the moment we arrived. The restaurant decor is a feast for your eyes!…read more We did not have reservations and they only had a table outside on a 90 degree day. My hubby had been working outside all day and asked if we could wait for an inside table. The host personally went and cleared/reset a table for us. My husband tried to tip him and he would not accept it. Our server was Cassandra and she was amazing. After dinner and dessert we asked for some recommendations amd she had some great ones. We had the lamb, a filet and a ny strip. All were cooked perfectly. The standout for me was the fried chicken. You can add a breast or thigh to any meal. I had a thigh and it was one of the best I have had. Crispy, tasty and the chicken itself was tender and juicy. When I come back I am definitely ordering the chicken! If you're in the area, definitely give this place a try. There is free valet parking, which is helpful since there is not a lot of parking. The valet were hustling! Did I mention the heat? Don't forget to tip them. The faster they move the higher the tip in my opinion.

Bonus points for the colours and addition to mint for flavor. Note on food: biscuits are lovely, chicken fried cauliflower is inspired. Pickles and sauces were sweet and disappointing (but nice of the to supply vinegar for the calamari)

    'When the moon hits your eye, like a big pizza pie, that's amore"…read more When we walked through the doors I expected to hear Dean Martin singing in the background, well he wasn't but you could feel the love from the entire staff immediately after arriving. Apparently reservations are recommended I know they asked us and everyone else who entered even though it was early afternoon on a Wednesday. We were seated in the dining room just off the lobby, yes very nostalgic, the dim lights and cloth covered tables takes you far far away from this beach town even though the ocean is washing over the beautiful sand just across the street. Our server Chloe was exceptional from the moment we were seated and throughout our dinner service. The menu is pages long so unless you've been here before and have a favorite it's a little overwhelming but we got through it and Chloe was patient as we ordered single items until we decided on our entree's. Appetizer - The baked clams, made to order, so there is a wait but there is also crusty Italian bread and oil for dipping while you wait and they are definitely worth the wait. Soup or Salad - comes with the meal so we chose one of each - the spinach soup is heavenly with it's velvety texture and served hot (nothing here arrives lukewarm) the salad is traditional but the balsamic dressing is magical I wanted both so we shared. We picked the lobster ravioli and chicken piccata for the main courses and that's when we agreed this is probably the best restaurant in town, the food was amazing as was the service. Everything here earns a bookmark and a return visit, there are so many things I wanted to try - nice portions and great prices makes this a must try if you're looking for that special place in this little beach town...

He then took our order, I ordered chicken parmigiana with linguine pasta. My husband ordered eggplant parmigiana with penne pasta. We really don't like when servers don't write down, punch in orders, which didn't happen today either. Our server brought out our plates, they looked good but my husband ordered penne pasta and received linguine. My food was ok, not better or worse than any other Italian restaurant we have gone to. I make my own paste from scratch and you definitely can tell this pasta is not made from scratch. The atmosphere was nice, put on music that wasn't too loud, but honestly happy we went but not sure anything is pulling us back to go again.
