    Carbonara
    Lilly H.

    Olive Garden has better food and cleanliness. Lazy service, bland food and wasn't worth the price at all. The only positive was the Bruschetta. It was good but is not worth coming back for. I got the Carbonara and it was SO OILY. Couldn't eat a lot of it. My friend got the chicken fettuccine Alfredo and it was bland and tasteless- had to request Parmesan, and pesto just to make it okay to eat. For a restaurant on Duval St with a $30-40 price range... NOT worth it. PLENTY of better options. Don't even get me started on the cleanliness of the bathrooms and indoor seating... so bad.

    French Onion Soup

    Ducked into the NY pasta garden on a brisk day. The outdoor seating area looked lovely, but some unseasonable wind brought us inside. My French onion soup was the only one available (no soup of-the day) but it was really well done, savory and cheesy. I even dunked the table parm bread in. Our server was personable. The pasta though my friends had wasn't so great. The Marsala sauce was sweet? And the lobster ravioli had a beef sauce on top...

    Cute little place with an old Italian restaurant vibe. The staff were extremely friendly and very attentive. The food was ok. I ordered the lobster ravioli which came with beef sauce. That threw me off a bit and the chicken Marsala was extremely sweet and it just didn't taste right. The onion soup however was prepared right and it was delicious. The bread with cheese definitely was great with a little bit of oil.

    This is a fun, unique place. The food was 3 stars but the service from the owner brings it up to 4 stars. The portions are enormous... like entirely too much food. Everything had decent flavor, and the owner kept our wine glasses topped up for the entire meal. The outdoor dining area is lovely.

    Bruschetta

    If we could do dinner again, we would not come back. Everything was mediocre and underwhelming. We arrived here on a Sunday night and it was dead. There was only 1 other table dining here. A very silent meal here as it was pretty quiet. We walked in and what seems to be the owner, just sat behind a counter, looked at us and didn't even acknowledge us. No greeting. Someone else came over to us and sat us at a table. He became our waiter and was our service for the remainder of the night. We used the Yelp check in for the free bruschetta. It looked tasty. It was okay. But something anyone can piece together at home. I would've not been happy if I had to pay for it. We ordered 2 pasta dishes. One was the linguini with clams on white sauce. The other was the alfredo pasta with chicken. The chicken was terrible. No seasoning whatsoever. The alfredo pasta was plain with no color. All cheese. The linguini with clam sauce was very thick. It didn't live up to our pasta expectations. We paid our bill and left. Getting up and leaving, the owner again did not greet us goodbye or bother to acknowledge us.

    We had an enjoyable dinner here! Granted, we were about 4 martinis in from happy hour across the street at Ocean Grill & Bar, which we learned has the same owner! Gluten free pasta was very good. Chicken cutlet was perfectly cooked. No complaints from us & the staff was super entertaining!

    We were here last evening exploring the southern most point , when I thought it might be good to check out some dining options in the area This place is nice and cozy . It's nestled inside a mini open mall ,where there is a line of other restaurants. The menu had some nice veg options listed so I booked a spot ahead anticipating a crowd later . I would recommend doing so as it saves the stress of finding a dining venue later as you tour the place . We ordered a salad , penne with vodka sauce and for the garlic knots and artichoke appetizers free . Food was ok . Nothing great . Service was good , fast .

    Mahi mahi picatta & Chicken Gorgonzola

    Stumbled upon this Italian restaurant off of Duval Street. It was amazing. The ceasar salad was the best I've ever had. My husband had the mahi mahi piccata and I had chicken Gorgonzola. Both were some of the best pastas either of us have ever had. We were celebrating our anniversary and Fletcher treated us to a complementary dessert. He was an engaging host, and made us feel welcome. Definitely go here if you're in the area, you won't be dissapointed !

    Artichoke app
    KayAnna S.

    What a fabulous restaurant with wonderful staff and delicious food! We just so happened to be walking by and found it tucked behind other restaurants. We are so glad we did. We were welcomed in like family and had such attentive service. One server made us a special artichoke app and it was fantastic. Would never have known it was artichokes, and the base sauce was yummy. We also had plenty (too many!) of garlic buttered knots with Parmesan. Very addicting. My fiancé had the meat lasagna and I had the penne ala vodka. I loved the creamy vodka tomato sauce and the added prosciutto made it even better. Added some red pepper flakes and it was the best. I was craving pasta and it was exactly what I wanted. Also the noodles were perfectly Al dente. My fiancé enjoyed the meat lasagna and could barely finish half as it was so filling. You can't go wrong with meat and cheese. Their sauce is very flavorful too! Honestly one of the best dinners we had while in Key West due to food, service, and being able to actually relax at a restaurant. Can't go wrong with anything on the menu!

    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.

Highly recommend their Diablo Burger, croquettes, tempura green beans and of course their creme brûlée is the best on the island as well as their carrot cake.
