We were traveling along south bound 95 last weekend when we decided to stop for coffee. And…read moreagainst my better judgement, we went downtown St. Augustine to get it. It was a lot of traffic to get down there, but it was nice once we paid our parking and walked the tree-lined streets. After we grabbed our coffee, I saw the sign in the window for "Hot Stuff". What caught my eye was hot pickles. We wandered in and I was pleased to see mannnnnny hot items. From Chocolate, to olives to the pickles that were my objective. The fella working the store, the owner I think, was over at a tasting booth letting a guy try some of the hottest hot sauces he had. That was because there was an entire wall, to the ceiling, of hot sauces. He had a good eye, as he spotted me looking at thew pickles ingredients and asked"do you wanna try one, I have a jar open". I was happy to. They were good, but not what I was looking for. Then I saw a hot sauce that was Black Truffle infused. I HAD to try that. Fantastic. I bought 2. I'm glad we popped in, as this was a very friendly place, with many piping hot options.

We asked the girl working there how much a small bottle of the datil pepper hot sauce was and she…read moresaid "good question." Then she threw out the number 14.

If you love great Italian food, do yourself a favor and keep driving -- preferably fast…read more Nonna's appears to specialize in "Italian-inspired disappointment." The cooked penne was sitting on the counter uncovered, just vibing at room temperature like it had officially given up. The sauce? Scooped from a container and reheated with all the passion of a microwave at 2 a.m. The complimentary bread arrived looking hopeful... until we realized it was a square dinner roll slathered in what tasted like imitation garlic and oil -- less Italian trattoria and more middle school cafeteria meets olive oil cosplay. The Chicken Marsala arrived undefeated in battle against any form of tenderizing. This chicken was not pounded thin -- it clearly lifts weights. I needed a steak knife, determination, and possibly a waiver to cut through it. We shared one entrée and a bottle of wine that tasted like grapes filed a formal complaint, and somehow the bill still hit $65. I checked twice to make sure we hadn't accidentally invested in the business. And just when you think the experience is complete, surprise! There's a debit card fee. Don't worry though -- the owner's son (also waiter, host, busboy, and possibly assistant regional manager) will loudly explain it from across the restaurant so the entire dining room can stay informed.

The carpaccio was incredible, and you could truly taste the freshness and quality in every dish. The pastas and gnocchi were clearly handmade and perfectly prepared. We ordered the gnocchi sorrentina, gnocchi salsiccia, tagliatelle ragu, and the fritto misto -- every single dish was outstanding. The service matched the food perfectly. Angelina was warm, personable, knowledgeable, attentive, and incredibly efficient throughout the evening. We enjoyed our experience so much that we actually canceled our reservation at another restaurant the following night just so we could return to Terra & Acqua a second time. Our only disappointment was not having the opportunity to meet the owner and executive chef, Simone Parisi, to personally compliment him and talk about Florence -- my birthplace as well.

The concept for the entire restaurant is unique. They have one side that is Asian another room that will be a cooking Test kitchen and then the regular restaurant with bar. Let's not forget the counter where you can buy delicious desserts. I had the Kobe burger, which was juicy cooked just right and came with fries. Our table shared the bang bang shrimp, and the shrimp size was large. The French soup was served hot in an individual soup terrene. The presentation was amazing Our waiter Ted added to her experience. He knew the menu never had to write anything down and served us with respect. The chicken Panini with prosciutto was delicious.

I ordered mostly off the French Pantry menu, and everything was spot on. The bread alone could be its own reason to come here. My entrée was flavorful without being heavy, and you could tell everything was made with care. What really impressed me is that they also offer dishes from Little Miss Ha, which brings in a totally different (and super interesting) Vietnamese twist. It's rare to find one spot that can do both menus well, but they pull it off seamlessly. We sat at the bar to get to enjoy both. The service was friendly, the portions were generous, and the whole experience just felt easy and enjoyable. If you're in Saint Augustine and want something that's a step up from the usual tourist fare -- but still welcoming and unpretentious -- this is the place.

I don't know if it's sold, or changed ownership, but this place is nothing like it used to be. Been coming in randomly for about 10 years. Been a while since I've come in. It's nothing like it used to be. Charged $6 for bread sticks "used to be complimentary" cold and hard. Waitress wasn't good. Would rather put on chapstick than take our order. Almost 10 minutes after her chapstick, she decided to take our order. We told her we were ready after she put in the bread stick order initially. Bring back the old Chianti room.

Sometimes you go looking for breakfast and end up discovering a place that makes you question every…read morebreakfast you've ever had before it. That was French Pantry in St. Augustine. We chose this spot for breakfast/brunch and what a fantastic find. The atmosphere is beautiful and upscale without feeling like you need to whisper or worry that you're holding your fork incorrectly. I went with the Gruyère cheese and ham omelette, and honestly, I'm not sure how they managed to make eggs this light. The omelette was delicate, fluffy, and absolutely delicious. The kind of breakfast where you take a bite and immediately start thinking, "Well, now I'm going to have to compare every omelette I eat from this point forward." My wife ordered the spinach and mushroom quiche, which can only be described as decadent. Rich, flavorful, and the kind of dish that makes you slow down and appreciate what's happening on the plate. The atmosphere is beautiful, the service was spectacular, and the entire experience felt like a special occasion even though we were simply there for breakfast. French Pantry was a fantastic find and absolutely deserving of five stars. If you're in St. Augustine looking for a breakfast or brunch experience that feels a little elevated, this is one to put on your list.
