Edit… came back again the next night for a second run. Again, the staff is as welcoming as the food is delicious. This time we saved room for tiramisu and cannoli…WOW. Vacation calories don’t count… right? Seriously, go give these guys your business.

Was a nice quiet place, the salad was fresh and good. The entres were decent with nice proportions. It can be little loud with the busboy station right outside the kitchen, sounds of dishes clanking can give you a jump scare while you’re eating. Although it’s obvious the locals love and appreciate this place, that definitely says something about them. I am looking forward to another visit.

Our first time dining here. Our waitress, Jolanta gave us the best customer service and some great recommendations . Our appetizer, salads and entrees were so delicious. Definitely making Island Italian one of our go to spots.

Ended up trying this restaurant a little different from normal Italian restaurants but was comfortable and staff was friendly and helpful food was good and but was heavy on certain spices overall enjoyed.

Waitress was very nice. I ordered the shrimp po’boy with crispy fries. My husband ordered the rueben with crispy fries. The po’boy was delicious. The sauce on it added a little something to it. The sandwich could actually do without the cheddar cheese. The fries were done perfectly. My husband’s rueben was delicious. I never eat them, and liked the taste I had enough, that I would order it. Looking forward to trying other things there.

Don’t sleep on this place. From the outside I won’t lie it looks deceiving. The second you walk in you think it’s just a dive bar, but once you are seated and get your food that when the magic happens. Everything tasted so fresh. The pastas, the seafood, the meatballs! It was all so delicious. My 6 year old had his ravioli’s eaten in 5 minutes. It really is good and worth the price!

If you want vegetarian items, they have plenty of options (many of the Mexican restaurants flat say they have no veg options). One big deal is they had half portion options! And Carla was great! Live music was a bit loud so we took a table further inside. Will definitely consider again if we’re in the area again.

We visit every time we come to the Island. The pizza is out of this world good. They make their own red sauce and the rope sausage is delicious. I love the spice in it. Food is made in house and all I’ve eaten there has been delicious, even the Cesar salad. The dressing was so good. I wanted to lick the bowl, but I didn’t. Highly recommend the bread pudding as well.

Definitely learned not to judge a book by it cover ….from the moment we walked in we were pleasantly greeted and seated . I am glad we tried it the food was wonderfully flavored, scrumptious and very fulfilling . We well definitely be going back (probably every time I go for my mani/Pedi, since they are conviently located across the street ) to try more off the menu. The waitress was very attentive and even left us with a souvenir from the beach ⛱️ a shell she picked and painted herself. They are absolutely adorable and it was a very nice gesture

It’s a hole-in-the-wall, too-dark-inside Italian joint so you know the food is legit. The shrimp in my Fettuccine Alfredo was fresh and my wife’s Alfredo lasagna weird thing was really good.
