About the restaurant

Chef Marek is inspired by the pizzerias of New York, and he is bringing that inspiration to you to enjoy in the heart of the local scene in Key West, the White Street District. We also have a selection of unique TAPAS s to enjoy. So please join us for a special evening of relaxation with cold beer, fine wine, and friends old and new enjoying great pizza, unique small plates, and salads. A casual experience with gourmet food in a century old house that some say may have a ghost or two.

About the restaurant

Key West seafood restaurant in the heart of old town on Petronia. The menu is kept small so that everything is nice and fresh for you. Yellowtail snapper, fish of the day, Key West pink shrimp, and seafood medley highlight the menu.
Deviled Eggs topped with Scallops, Shrimp Mango Toast and Crispy Pork Belly Croustinis tantalize the pallet. Beef stroganoff made with certified black angus beef is a favorite.

Relaxing, unpretentious, and romantic.
Seating is very limited.
24 Hour Cancellation window.
For the consideration of our guests, we do not accept parties over the size of six (6).
We offer a 6 pm and an 8 pm seating.
BEER AND WINE AVAILABLE.
No Children's menu available.

Our waiter was very attentive and our food was delightful. We had the lobster stuffed shrimp, split a caesar salad, and shared a bottle of Chardonnay the waiter recommended. For an entree I had the yellowtail snapper while my partner had shrimp prepared in a pepper sauce.

About the restaurant

Café Solé has captured the hearts and palates of locals and visitors lucky enough to discover this culinary gem off the beaten path. By combining his French mastery of sauces with fresh locally caught seafood, John has created a menu unlike any on the island, where every dish is bursting with indescribable flavors. Mutton snapper in pesto and champagne, yellowtail in a beurre blanc of lobster or a rare hog snapper with red pepper zabaglione top a list of nightly specials. As for the classics, the Duck a L'Orange, Rack of Lamb with herb de Province and Lobster Bouillaise are as authentic as you will find this side of Paris. Chef Correa combines the best of both of his worlds, European and Caribbean to win the People's Choice and Best Entree awards at a recent Master Chefs Classic

We travel to Key West at least once a year for a week and La Trattoria Oceanside is our go to restaurant. We have never had a bad meal there over the past 9 years. The food and service is excellent. The specials were so good we went back again later in the week to have the menu items we love. Pip and her staff provide extraordinary service. The chef is top-notch.

About the restaurant

Mangia in Islamorada! Co-owners Tony and Isis Wright have transformed the beloved and iconic building, previously home to Bentleys, into a slice of Italy in the Florida Keys. This approachable and genuine trattoria serves 5 star authentic Italian dishes in a warm and memorable atmosphere. Locals, families, couples, and groups flock to Italian Food Company for the food, service and attention to detail. Guests dine on imported, hand painted lava tables made by local artisans from the foothills of Mt. Etna, while overlooking various murals depicting scenes from Venice, Sicily and the Amalfi Coast. If you have a love for all things Italy, you will come to adore this home away from home - and it comes with the fun, fanfare, chefs and servers - imported from Italy with love.

Great place! Only issue is it’s too loud. If they invest in some sound dampening the place will be perfect. Still great. Just a bit loud when full.
