This restaurant has it all together. I've been to the Caroline street location three times in the past six weeks. This location has both inside and outside dining with decent spacing between the seats. Even with the high ceilings the noise level is not excessive. The bar has space for about 10 guests, and Justin the bartender is very attentive. The open kitchen aroma increases your hunger when you enter. The happy hour (4:30-6) menu offers a few very nice small plates. Score on the Aperol Spritz for $5.50. The Margarita Pizza brought back memories of a pie in Siena Italy. We've enjoyed the Meatballs, and Fried Cheese as well from the happy hour menu. On my non Happy Hour dinners our party enjoyed The Fettuccine al Pesto, Spaghetti al Pomodoro e Basiliso, Spaghetti al Fruitti di Mare. The side of vegetables are grilled perfectly. Asparagus, Yellow squash, Zucchini, peppers and Broccoli Rabe. All of the food 1st rate! Too full to order dessert. Most of the wait staff spoke Italian to one another, which add to the nice authentic experience. The menu has some non Italian items as well, if you want a steak or burger. read more

I had a Cesar salad and pizza. Both were excellent! The Cesar was properly dressed. The croutons were crunchy and the cheese on top, tangy. My husband got the filet and Brussels sprouts. I tried both, which were okay. Not as good as I'd hoped for. He ordered the steak medium rare, but it came out medium, but my husband refuses to address when the temperature is delivered wrong. I want to believe the steak would have been more enjoyable, had the temperature been correct. The Brussels were a big bland. I tried a friends mushroom risotto. And I was not impressed. I love mushrooms and I love risotto, so I was really thinking it would be a win. But it wasn't. We had a large group celebrating a friends birthday. Service was good. Although we did mention separate checks at the beginning, and the server said he'll do it at the end, which then seemed very stressful and difficult for him. I wish I had taken more photos of the food. read more

Cool spot with fresh Italian vibes. We were very curious about their oven bake technique. We sat at the bar which has a small selection of seats. We started with tuna tartare,oven baked wings and ended with a seafood pizza. Their wine list was impressive but you also pay for their sommelier selections. If your into wine, this is a must spot to wine and dine. Service was great at the bar and efficient. read more

I am purely leaving 4 stars based on the food and service of the bus boy! If we could tip the bus boy instead of our waiter we would. He brought us water, refilled it, brought us bread and refilled our glasses and brought us the pizza we shared and cleared our table. Honestly, it felt like, because it's what happened, our waiter spent his time on patrons ordering alcohol. Our salad and pizza were thankfully tasty. read more

This is the third or 4th time we've ordered from Onlywood during our trips to Key West. We love the pizza. I always get the 4 Mailai and it did not disappoint this trip either. We always take delivery so I can't speak to ambiance or service, but the food is fantastic. read more

Absolutely horrible. Don't go here, save your money and time. Terrible service- server (Nicola) did not pay attention, was rude, and took forever to take our orders and get the check. He didn't talk to us the first 20 minutes of us being there while he chatted with his friends who were at a table behind us. Food was mediocre at best. Entree was $36.50 and was bland with small portion sizes, we tried 4 different entrees and all were bad. Ambiance was weird and not in a good way. Music that didn't fit, strange lighting that didn't fit, and was unwelcoming. Plus at the end when we finally got the check, they put an automatic 20% tip on the whole check when we only had 5 people. If I could give this restaurant 0/5 I would. Don't go. read more

Still delicious. This place is a fun mix of upscale Italian and casual Key West. I added a happy hour menu photo as we happened to sit down before it was over. There are a handful of 1/2 price apps and some drinks are 1/2 price as well. We tried (for apps) the meatballs, fried mozz and wings. All incredibly tasty and we took half the mozzarella home- you can see the enormous serving in the photo! I've tried several pastas and pizzas here and have loved them all. This time - shrimp and fettucine with the house made pesto. WOW......Hubby of course had the sirloin and said it was cooked perfectly. Service is interesting but not bad per se. I enjoy the assistants coming around with the bread basket, tongs and oo/bv. read more

3.5 stars if I could. This restaurant was located off of Duval street. We tried the Onlywood Pizzeria one night, and enjoyed it so much we decided we should also try this location. It is nice and spacious location, with a really nice patio. The waitstaff was very professional, especially considering some of the people at the restaurant had clearly had too many libations that day. But let's talk about the food! We had the gnocchi. It looked delicious, but to me it was undercooked. The Ribeye was done exactly as we asked for it. The dipping sauces were excellent along with the grilled veggies. I wish I had an opportunity to go back again, but sadly that is how vacation is! read more

Unfortunately my food was awful this evening... ;( Ordered a Capresse salad & it tasted awful - tasteless & as if it had been sitting in a fridge a few days on a plate! Also ordered chicken wing appetizer & they were tiny/ dried up & cold as if they were cooked previously & then left in a fridge a few days as well.. yuck ;( Cold- not even hot as chicken wings should be!! 1 glass of wine that was $9 as their happy hour price.. Wine was ok at least ... Ended up $41 & suck tiny amount of food portions that tasted cold & old- as in did it sit in a fridge several days ... old... ;( It was a waste of my money! I left feeling dissatisfied & hungry honestly ... ugh The pizza looked good there but as for what I was served & charged for tiny old cold tasteless food items... I'll never eat there again ! I feel ripped off!! Wish I could go back in time & had picked a different restaurant to dine! read more

all great things to say about the food and service was good. our only hangup is there may be an a managerial "bait and switch" w/ respect to their wine list. we usually have a two strikes rule (regarding wine selection) and after the wine we chose as our first choice was rejected as not having it in stock and the second bottle had the same response, we asked to speak w/ a manager b/c the bottle (another server, not our server) recommended was a bottle w/ a $40 upsell price. when we asked to have a manager visit our table, it was a miracle, the second choice (nebbiolo) appeared or was "found" and it was appropriately priced. we feel this was a management driven strategy, hence the bait and switch reference. will definitely return but if you like and know your wine, be prepared about the tactic described above. read more

Probably the best Pizza in the Florida Keys. Service was on point. Definitely returning next time we visit the keys.

Amazing food, service, and restaurant vibe! We have gone here 4 times out of our 10 day vacation because we just love the food! Especially great if not everyone in your family wants seafood (key west has a lot of seafood!) but the seafood here is also so yummy! read more

Another visit that did not disappoint -- so very good, but again we ordered too much! Service was "okay" ... a little slow but nothing to get crazy about! Combo of fried zucchini, shrimp, calamari and SPICY sauce! Sautéed shrimp in garlic, oil, spices and crostini (basically a Scampi) appetizer! Branzino fish -- cooked perfectly, so much so that it did not need the accompanying sauce. Gnocchi Bolognese, AMAZING! CRAZY! DELICIOUS! DON'T SHARE! read more

We were searching for a nice dinner spot with good reviews and a nice variety on the menu. We sided on here since we were going out for drinks after. The giant lot next to it is nice as the first 4 hours of parking is free (Idk if it was because of a weekend, but just a note). We got there at about 5 and I would say it was about 1/4 full. Our server was okay - I felt that for the price of the meal and the quality of the food, she could have been nicer/more attentive. She did seem slightly inconvenienced by us. For appetizers, we ordered the mozzarella fritta and the focaccia. The Mozzarella fritta was amazing; smooth cheese with a great fry on the crust and wasn't oily. Absolutely loved it. The Focaccia was a real loss for me. It was more of a round shape/thin crust pizza and not as dimpled or thick as I like, but the real hit was the "fresh herbs" because it was doused in rosemary like someone sneezed with the cap off. No one at the table could taste anything else and when you bite into it - the rosemary fell all over the table and my dress. I couldn't taste any other herbs. I wish I would have taken a photo because it was comical how much it just covered the bread. For our mains, we got a pepperoni pizza, spaghetti al pomodoro e basilico, branzino, and the tagliata toscana (skirt steak). There were three of us, but I got the steak for all of us to try because it seemed interesting and everything is wood-fired! Pepperoni pizza was great and the crust didn't sag. It was wood-fired, but not burnt so loved that. My pasta was amazing and would absolutely recommend - I ate it all. My boyfriend loved his Branzino and it was fully gone. The steak was also amazing and very tender. I would say that the side of Arugula and tomatoes is eh and it was most of the plate. I would mind a small serving of that maybe with some roasted potatoes or something, but it was just a lot and seemed unnecessary. I would absolutely come back and maybe switch some things around while ordering. If you can get sat by the windows - there is great people watching as well. It is a little pricey, but the quality of the food was good if you exclude the sauce-less rosemary pizza that is the "focaccia". read more

Just another disappointing KW eatery. This one is sometimes decent and sometimes awful. Our last visit was the latter. Flavorless pasta, overcooked meat and bill of over $150 for 2 with tip. When we're were asked how the food was we said "meh" which was further obvious since one of our dishes was barely touched but they didn't care. Why'd they ask? Absolutely not worth it. read more

*4.5 would probably be my true rating - will explain* After a long weekend stay in Key West, my husband and I were looking for something that had a good variety of menu items outside of seafood options or sandwiches/burgers. The shuttle for our hotel dropped off right next to this Onlywood location, so we decided to give it a shot after glancing at the menu before being seated. We went on a Monday night around 8:15ish and we were taken to a table right away. Given the option of indoor or outdoor seating, we chose the outdoor seating on the open deck. The lighting outside was low but not so that you couldn't easily read the menu. Our waiter was prompt in getting our drinks to us, but outside of taking our food order and bringing our check, we saw more of the individual bussing our table than our waiter himself. It may be that the restaurant has developed this service model purposefully, but as another review mentioned, I wish we could have tipped the bus service above our waiter. He got our drink refills promptly, gave us bread service, cleared dishes quickly, and was attentive to anything we needed. The food itself was delicious. We ordered the Tuna Tartare, which we really enjoyed. The flavor of the tuna was fresh and subtle without being fishy. It was accompanied by crostini and an assortment of toppers: jalapeño slices, diced red onion, capers, and house guacamole. I do think I came across a small bone in the tuna (something poked the roof of my mouth when I took a bite), but it wasn't large enough that I was able to tell for sure whether it was that or a piece of the crostini that broke off during the bite and got the roof of my mouth just right. Either way, the quality of the fish was great and I kept eating and would order it again. After the appetizer, we decided to share a wood fired pizza. The Forza Juve stood out and did not disappoint. It was a sauceless pizza with a truffle oil base topped with cheese, Porcini mushrooms, and shrimp. While it might seem the odd combination, we both loved it. The truffle oil was present in just the right amount to not be overpowering. The mushrooms had almost a meaty flavor but didn't mask the shrimp, which was perfectly tender. If looking for a non-seafood heavy menu, this would be a great place to try. We will likely be back on any future trips, especially if pizza is what we're after. read more

We came here to grab some woodfired pizza, but as we looked through the menu, we thought we would explore little bit more. The Caesar salad was great for sharing at the table and perfectly executed. Upon the recommendation of the server, I work with the Veal Parmesan. It was on the bone. Veal Parmigiana on the bone. I've never had such good Veal Parm in my life. The pizza was also fantastic, would absolutely be back. read more

They were able to accommodate our group of 7 without a reservation in a timely fashion. Our server was excellent, recommending wine and meals. I know this is a pizza place, but the Tagliata Toscana was excellent!!! Our group tried the Maialona, essentially the meat lovers, great! Basic pepperoni pizza next, but nothing basic about it, great crust, sauce, and roni ratio. The big showstopper was their Vegetarian pie. Can't wait to try their other offerings. read more

Hostess who was working yesterday was super rude!!! I called to make a reservation inside, because it was freezing, but she told me they had many tables available so we didn't need reservation. After 20 minutes we got there, we were standing and waiting , finally she came, no hello, nothing, she said all the inside tables were reserved, so even though I asked nicely she refused to sit us inside, but guess what, there was European couple in line with us, without reservation , and they started making drama, so she found table inside for them In half minute. I guess you have to be mean to get a normal table. read more

I was craving steak and due to a recommendation from earlier that day, we decided to give this place a try. The atmosphere is a little more upscale than a typical "grill" type of place but still casual to go out with a group of friends or have a date night. We started off with a charcuterie board, a couple glasses of wine and I ordered the steak while my girlfriend ordered one of the salads with steak. The charcuterie board was delicious. Each part of the board went very well together as it should. Definitely a good way to start an evening. I ordered the Delmonico Steak with an additional side of veggies. The steak was decent, better than most casual steak houses but nothing fancy. The demigloss sauce that comes with it though was not for me. It looks like a puck of butter. I tried a bite of steak with it and I was not having it. I would rather eat the steak by itself because a good steak does not need a sauce. The veggies were roasted well, but could use a little bit more umph. It's very expensive considered what we ordered. Our bill was over $100 so be warned. Most items are priced between the $20-$30 range while the steaks are over $35. read more

The service we received was of the worst I have ever experienced. The waiter was instant to respond rudely when we asked for the signature dish, to which he responded "the menu is right there in front of you" when we tried to signal him for a question we had about changing our wine orders to a bottle instead of the two glasses we had ordered minutes prior he dismissed us despite being at the table next to us. He passed our table to return to the kitchen and then complained when we asked to see the wine menu after taking it from us, refusing to tell us of the price of their wines, stating "why do you need to know the price" and suggesting that we were on vacation. Having returned with family to share this spot with, I am beyond disappointed and will never be returning or recommending this location to anyone despite the ambience and appearance. read more

Since returning to live in Key West again we've been revisiting restaurants we previously dined in. Also looking to try new eateries as well, we tried the Onlywood Grill on Caroline Street. Since our first experience with their pizza, we've been back 6 times in the last 2 months! Each time we explored different items from their varied menu and each time we were exceptionally pleased with our meals and service. Last night we entertained my old navy shipmate and his wife. We shared a meatball appetizer. Our guests loved it, I found it to be bland. For entrees, I opted for the orecchiette pasta with sausage and broccoli rabe. It was excellent and even better than my grandfather used to make it and he thrived on the dish. My wife had the snapper-filled ravioli. It was very good but it was a tad salty for her taste. It might have been the capers, nevertheless, she devoured the ravioli, pushing the capers and olives aside. My friend had the Cotoletta de Vitello alla Milanese, a huge pounded and perfectly pan-fried veal chop with arugula and cheery tomatoes. Ed shared a piece with each of us. It was outstanding and I will order it next time. I will NOT share it with anyone! His wife had the Fettuccine al Pesto. I've been making and perfecting my pesto for 40+ years and this was excellent. read more

The other reviews detailing a bothered hostess were definitely on par. Not the best first impression, but the food was great. Wish they gave you more bread and the tables weren't so cramped. The amazing food made up for it! The made from scratch pizza and pasta were to die for. I would pass on the lobster bisque in the future. read more

stopped in during a rain storm. We wanted something besides fish. The food was great. the service....not so much. We are on vacation and doing all the touristy things. were we dressed to the 9? No. but the money spends the same. Our waiter completely judges us by how we were dressed. Shorts and shirts. Not trashy by any means. Our waiter spoke to all the tables that were "dinner dressed". Never checked on us. Our drinks were never refilled. It took forever to get our bill and for him to take the payment. I watched people get off the cruise ships dressed worse than us. We are actually well established financially and always over tip for great service. Especially when on vacation because we know how some people can be. the food was good, but sadly the service was alot to be desired. And for that, we won't return. read more

Good food and service. They have heaters in the outdoor space when it's chillier. We liked the four cheese pizza.

A great meal with family. Great food, service and atmosphere. Adding to the list of restaurants that we will return to in the future, when we are back in Key West. read more

Best meal in Key West. Waiter was absolutely amazing! He gave us the best recommendations! We got three different pizzas. Don't judge. We had a large party! And the four cheese gnocchi was outstanding. We also loved the Gin and Tonic with Elderflower. I didn't even know I liked G and T. Who knew. The margarita pizza you can't go wrong it's fabulous. But ask about some of the meatier pizzas I can't remember what it's called but we got one and it's just amazing. And we also had one with meatballs and potatoes that was superb. read more
