The reason for the low score is that the owner is unaware that the customer experience is important also . The air conditioning was set very low and it was extremely hot. According to other reviews this is not a new phenomenon in this resturant . We had to box up half our food and take the birthday cake somewhere else to enjoy it. The owner advised us the music method he uses was broke so we improvised and played Italian music on one of our phones. we hope the owner will use this review as a cue to upgrade his practices to ensure a comfortable and pleasant experience for those who choose to dine there. In the meantime, the recommendation is to order for take home.

It makes zero sense why this place has a 3.1 star rating. It's a small Italian hole in the wall…read morewith incredible food, service and prices. The people that are rating the restaurant solely on the restaurant being outdated and old clearly don't have a brain. It doesn't take much brain power to understand that a restaurant can't afford to put that high of quality food out at $15/per full course meal if they're constantly paying to renovate it. Synopsis: if you want great food at an extremely affordable price, this is for you. If you're expecting glamor, save yourself the trip and go somewhere else.

Husband and I had a hankering for some good Italian but we didn't feel like going out to eat…read more We picked up some food here to go, having never eaten here before. Let me start by saying, I have had hundreds of cauliflower pizzas, from many different restaurants. I can't seem to find anywhere that makes them right. I ordered the cauliflower Quatro fomaggi pizza... My husband picked the order up a few minutes past it's prime so we got it a bit cold. Despite the pizza literally being cold by the time it got to my house, it was NO JOKE the best cauliflower pizza I have had in my life. The flavors were spectacular, cheeses were savory and sweet, sauce was ridiculously flavorful and enjoyable. My husband got some lasagna and he enjoyed it thoroughly. We also got the gluten free chocolate mousse cake and it was decadent and sweet. We split it and it was so full of flavor, one slice was enough for us to share. My husband recounted that he's been struggling to eat meals recently and this meal literally brought back his enjoyment for food. We enjoyed the food a lot. I will most definitely be coming in for a sit down experience for the best cauliflower pizza I've ever had in my life. If it's that good cold, I can't imagine how good it is hot. It was so nice to enjoy some high quality food and to be able to stay gluten free

Very disappointed with how this situation was handled. My mom, sister, and I came in for dinner on…read more6/26 and ate on the patio. My sister ordered the Rigatoni Boscaiola with a chicken cutlet on it. Looking at the chicken, it was visibly pink, and she understandably didn't feel comfortable eating it. We informed our server, who apologized, but the plate never left our table and was never taken to the kitchen for anyone to inspect. We ended up removing the chicken to a separate plate ourselves. When the bill arrived, the chicken was still included. After we asked about it, the server told us the chef said, "It's just a vein." Please see photo attached as the chicken is visibly pink and we are aware what a vein looks like. That was extremely frustrating because the chef never actually saw the chicken after we raised the concern--the plate remained at our table the entire time. We weren't looking for a free meal. We simply wanted our concern to be taken seriously and for someone to inspect the chicken before dismissing it. Instead, we paid for chicken my sister no longer felt comfortable eating. The other pasta dishes and appetizer were fine, and had our concern been handled appropriately, we wouldn't have left a review at all.

The service was great when it came, but there were long gaps between and the lady in the kitchen noticed and would spur the waitstaff into action. The place is on the smaller side, dark and very old fashioned, which are great features for a classic Italian restaurant in my opinion. It was like eating at one of the little neighborhood restaurants in NY. My negatives are the spotty service, the servers were 25 feet away and didn't seem to care to give a glance. My iced tea was made with tap water... Unfiltered and tasted horrible. Finally, the restaurant is cash only. Yes, they do offer alternative ways to pay such as Cashapp, Apple Pay, Zelle, etc, which l felt was a bit unusual. In closing, the food was great! Tasty and well made. Tap water to paying customers!? Service is service, some times it's great and sometimes it's not. The cash only thing did take me by surprise.

All of the entrees were good sized to huge. I started out with Stracciatella soup which was among the best I've ever had. I followed that with the Veal Piccata.

He still managed to eat every bite because it was so good. They have a decent wine list and an ok beer selection. There was a live band playing in the bar area. It made it fun but a little difficult to talk. I can't wait to come back to the area and try some other things on the menu. I'm confident that you'll enjoy your meal here.

Fantinis, you are checking off a lot of really good boxes. Most all of them. Unfortunately for me,…read morejust not the ones to keep me coming back. For others, I am sure, just not my thing though. What I liked: The service. The service is on point especially for a day in age when old school great service is in decline. The type of service that other places should send their staff to, to take notes. The atmosphere was great, the place was clean, the utensils and dishes were clean. It was fresh, new and hoppin with not excessively loud, but loud music. To start we had options for water, although I will take a second to say, when the question is, so would you like a bottle of water, or do you want tap water. Its almost as if your being shamed into a high price bottle of water. I feel like, if you want to be a nice semi-upscale restaurant, just ask if they would like a bottle of water, if they want tap water, they will request it. If you like calamari, if your are feeling hungry and if your at Fantinis, get it. It was great. And a great way to start off from the kitchen. The portion was large, the cook was perfect and the surprise twist (here comes Fantinis Fusion) the bits of pepperschinis fried with the calamari was pleasantly a hit for us. What I didn't like: So, there is I think a bit too much Fusion at Fantinis Fusion Kitchen. I mean, I get that if you want to establish an identity, you want to make sure everyone knows thats what your doing, but its like when Florida wants to tell you on a nice hot summer day it can help give you a breeze, and they rate it as a cat 4. Too much. I dont think twisting chicken parmesian into a bone in chicken to make yours different works. Its wet, its not chicken parm, it doesnt even have a parm flavor. Its kind of just a hot mess that I think has the potential to get some bad press. Luckily, I wasn't the one at the table who ordered it. What I got was actually pretty good. Potato gnocchi in a SPICY (lol) vodka sauce with the duck breast add-on. Duck breast, phenomenal. Vodka sauce, good. Spicy, X. The median age for the United States is 23. The median age for palm city is 55. I cant fault a place for pandering to the locals, but dang. The food was all cooked well dont get me wrong, however I found myself on just about each dish looking for a bit of depth and I was advised while at Fintinis why it doesnt have it. We dont want too many complaints of the food having too much sodium or pepper, especially if you have an appointment this month and you got to keep the numbers down for the doc. The menu. Im gonna try and wrap this up quick as the review is a bit long. An identity issue meets Fusion. Like pick a random item throw it in a bucket and then we will draw them out and place them on the menu semi-randomly with no real match to them. The protein adds were a bone-in piece of chicken, duck and 4 fish options. In short, I felt it was confusing options and not a lot of them. Kind of made it easy to go with "um, I guess I'll have that" The review may seem harsh. But I dont come across many 4 stars i wouldn't go back to. I think its a nice restaurant for a very specific crowd and im just not in that crowd. Not yet anyway, who knows Fantinis, maybe I will be back when I get to that crowd.

Overall a ~good~ experience…read more The good: Food was cooked well. Staff was friendly and attentive. Restaurant was clean. Lemoncello tres leches cake was yummy! The 'meh': While the food was cooked well, I personally found it a little lacking in the flavor department. The calamari came with a calbrian aoli . I would estimate that the ratio was 99% mayonnaise and 1% calibrian. You might need a drug sniffing dog to detect it. My chicken Parm was fresh and tasted good, not great but good. The menu mentions 'statler chicken breast ' I was unaware that meant that there was a bone in it. Not a big deal for me but might be worth mentioning. The music in the restaurant was very loud making it a little hard to carry a conversation. The fusion menu, loud music, and lack of seasoning make it hard for to quite place who the audience is for this restaurant. My overall experience was good but not good enough to go back.
