Key Largo

About the restaurant

A slice of Italy in the Florida Keys! This approachable and genuine pizzeria/trattoria serves 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 our wine and beer garden. Hand painted murals depicting scenes from Sicily and the bay of Naples set the tone. Insta perfect picture spots come alive with a vintage Fiat 500 and the Italian Food Company Vino Van. If you have a love for all things Italy, you will come to adore this home away from home. Pizza Lovers beware - the Pizza is authentic Neapolitan, the real deal without the passport.

Duck Key

About the restaurant

Angler & Ale, an amazing restaurant where either before or after an astounding sunset cruise or snorkeling with Sole' Watersports, you can grab a waterfront table, dig into some of the Key’s favorite dishes, and wash it down with a frosty cold, fresh-from-the-tap brew or a crafted cocktail. Better yet, bring in your own catch for a hook-and-cook feast prepared by our expert chefs. Great food. Cold beer. And fishing. Doesn’t get any better than that.

Sat on the patio where it was quieter. We had Mahi Mahi several different ways - coconut crust, meuniere and French sauces. All were great. Grouper done Cajun style was also excellent. Best of all was our server, Keisha. She was so helpful and informative. Even helped us with our plans for Key West.

We ate the buffet at Christmas. The food mostly was good. Some of the meat was sitting to long and was dry and tough. The potatoes and prime rib was the go to for sure. Was expensive for a meal that was limited on the items they offered.

About the restaurant

Originally from New York, Owner Big John brought his love of Italian food to our little island. He then married it to his love of tropical birds and established the restaurant in 1989. The huge portions and creative cuisine quickly made New York Pasta Garden a local favorite, and we continue that tradition to this day.
The fresh seafood and friendly staff will keep you coming back for more! We offer the largest pour of house wine you will find on the island and a have great wine list by the bottle. We strive to have something on our menu for every palette and dedicate ourselves to make your experience both memorable and delightful.

The food at the New York pasta house was good. I had chicken Palm perfectly done. My wife had tortellini El forno which was delicious. We started with an antipasto which was ridiculously delicious and huge. Did I mention the 20 oz pours of the delicious house wines? The best part was our waiter Filip.He was just fabulous. He is from Montenegro and so articulate and fun.And efficient. We had a wonderful experience at the New York pasta house. We will definitely go back on the next visit.
