What diners say — our read

50% of reviews here touch on service, more than any other theme. Reviewers who mention service rate this place 5.0 on average — it is working in the restaurant’s favour. Pacing follows at 32% of reviews, where ratings average 5.0.

If you had to pick one number to represent this corpus it would be 5, the most frequently given rating (21 reviews). Older reviews score better than newer ones (4.6 recent against 5.0 earlier), so direction is worth weighing alongside the average. Behind those, freshness is raised in 18% of reviews (5.0 average).

    OMG their carrot soup is the best thing ever on earth! Their pizza is super good too: and staff is very friendly. Highly recommend! Edit: absolutely love their lunch special too!

    Delicious delightful location. Diego was an excellent server. When I asked him "hey, my meal (out of my party of 6) was the one that *didn't* come with garlic knots, right?" he said yes. He then, unprompted, brought me a pair of garlic knots for free. My calzone was amazing, and also way too big to eat in one sitting. I had to get a to-go box for the other half.

    We have ordered here Many times over the past few years. The last few orders haven't been the greatest. We ordered 2 pizzas with delivery and we paid 50.00 bucks and got Over done (hard pizza) can Barley chew it Such a disappointment as this place used to be good.

    My family of 6 came here at 3 pm on a Tuesday while on vacation, and the staff was very prompt to move two tables together to seat us immediately! There was no one else in the restaurant, which was a shame, because the food was PHENOMENAL. Honestly, best gnocchi alla rosé I've ever had. Garlic knots came with everyone's meals except for one person, and our excellent waiter, Diego, brought two for him for free because he noticed. Very excellent service. On our way out, Diego even went to hold open the door for all of us! I would go here once a week if I lived here.

    "I've been chasing a real New Jersey chicken parm sandwich since I moved to Florida. This is the closest I've found. Absolutely worth it." 🍗🥖🇮🇹

    We went here for our first time today. It was so good! We had great service from Diego. I got the Greek salad and the gluten free white pizza. I asked if they had honey 🍯 to drizzle on top and they did just for me. We all thought our meals were “amazing” and we can’t wait to eat here again! They got regular pizza, shrimp scampi and chicken piccata. 🤤🍕👏👏👏

    Stopped in because we drove by. What an OUTSTANDING experience. The chicken Parmesan and calzones were extremely tasty and cooked to perfection. The server was prompt, professional and very pleasant. A hidden gem!

    The dough they used you can tell is fresh dough made in house, the food was really good, Diego was our waiter, and I was very happy with the service

    Best Italian restaurant in Brevard county! Delicious every time!

  • April 26, 2026

    Great find! We were looking for decent Italian but found amazing food! The garlic knots are the best!

  • April 13, 2026

    Awesome service. Quick and personable young man. Very attentive and friendly. Owner checked in with us about food quality. Pizza delicious and salad was fresh. Staff all seemed like they got along with each other and were happy working there. Clean, every table bussed and wiped down immediately. Bathroom clean. Music needs to be varied (70s classic rock) and atmosphere had kitchy black and white photos on the wall with dark walls and dark furniture but otherwise it was cozy and hit the spot after visiting Cocoa Village. Go there! You won't be disappointed!

    Lovely, small and quaint restaurant with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The food was delicious, clearly made with care, and the portions were just right. Everything we tried was fresh and flavorful. The prices were very reasonable, especially for the quality of the meal. It’s a great little spot if you’re looking for a relaxed place with great food and friendly service. We will definitely be coming back! 🙂

    Very good pizza! Love the sauce.

  • March 15, 2026

    Very small seating area, but the pizza is delicious. We especially loved the white pizza.

  • March 3, 2026

    My Mom & I popped in here for the lunch special and were greeted and served quickly. We split a meal and they cut the pizza in half without us having to ask and even gave us two cups for the soda. Salad and pizza were delicious and staff were kind. Would definitely come back!

  • February 25, 2026

    Really is something special! Hidden gem it is the best Italian thus far. All the other places are false advertising compared to this

  • February 21, 2026

    The pizza was excellent! Crisp thin crust and delicious. Especially enjoyed the white pizza and eggplant roumaloude. Server was very nice and took great care of us.
