   The chicken parm plate should come with pasta for the top price that they charge!! They took too long to attend to us once we got seated!!

   Although a somewhat limited selection, the food was delivered fast and was delicious.

   Third time eating there, one lunch and two dinners. I loved the first 2 times and for dinner last night brought friends to join us. Ordered the crab cake appetizer which was a special on previous visit and when I asked they said they could make it for me. Not the same. Plate was not garnished and was topped with 1 shrimp instead of 2. Tried my friends veal Marsala and the mushrooms overtook the flavor of the entire dish. Not good at all. On the other hand my husband had the chicken pesto pizza and it was amazing. I will go back but might stick with pizza

   The food and service were great but it was uncomfortably warm (maybe because we were in a window seat) and the noise level made it difficult to have a conversation. I hope they add some noise softening elements and amp up the a/c.

Don’t forget the cappuccinos either They now how to make them too. We will go back before the week is over. Oh make a reservation restaurant is small and locals love it too

    This restaurant needs a major overall. Windowsill next to where we sat was dirty. Made reservations because they advertised tableside cheese wheel dining choice which didn't happen. They still charged the high price for dish without even making it close to our table. The chef who was atleast a table away never even acknowledged us or spoke to us. From what we observed, from a great distance away, they in no way utilized the cheese wheel affect. We have dined at a restaurant in the Tampa area that offers this type of dining and this restaurant in Daytona Beach failed in it's representation of same. The hostess station is literally a barrel that overlooked our table where she stood right next to our table and was very uncomfortably close. Someone apparently got drunk at the bar and they escorted him out while we were dining and the drunk guy stood across the street in view of the window where we dined. Waitstaff proceeded to go out several times and appeared to antagonize the guy that just escalated the situation. We paid a very high $ for literally a sh*t show!

    They had vegan options that were delicious! Bruschetta without cheese, and a couple of pasta dishes. The red wines are fabulous. I have gone with the servers’ recommendation on wine the last 2 visits and have not been disappointed!

    Okay, this was our first visit to Little Italy’s Ristorante in Daytona Beach, on a recommendation from a friend who knows and appreciates fine Italian dining. We were not disappointed in any way. The specials were mouth-watering swordfish & fresh whole Maine lobster dishes. Off the menu there were great classic Italian specialty dishes including Grandmother’s ragu and fish pasta meals. The burrata caprice was great, and we were fortunate the soup of the day was a very nice tomato bisque. We will be regulars for weekend dinners. What a great find!

    This authentic Italian restaurant was just what we needed. We had been traveling for 3 weeks and were tired of seafood. The food was delicious. The owners and staff were delightful and the restaurant itself was completely Italian!! We loved it!!!

    Food and service was good. Server bumped a glass of wine on our table. She helped clean it up but other than a meager apology, I thought should could have offered something. No big deal, but that would have been nice. We probably wouldn't have taken her up on that. (My son was saying "now I've lost some of my wine" mostly joking, but there is a point there.) At the end, I asked for a cup of coffee. It was totally room temperature. Not what I was expecting. But I drank half of it and didn't say anything because it didn't look like they charged me for it. Maybe that was for the spilt wine, but uninentional cold coffee doesn't help, it hurts. But the rest of the food and experience was good.

    They were out of pizza and didn’t tell us until after we ordered our appetizers. I think they were out of mozzarella, I’ve never been to an Italian restaurant that was out of pizza and it was early in the night. The pasta and other dishes were not good. Calamari was inedible.

    Little Italy is our new favorite restaurant in Daytona! Not only is the food absolutely wonderful, but the staff, manager and owner make you feel like part of the family. It’s warm and inviting and literally everything I’ve had there has been delicious and authentic!! The wine list is great too as well as the cocktails! You cannot go wrong by visiting this little gem!!

    The food was very good. The service was beyond slow and you could tell there were communication issues. We were there 45 minutes before we ordered. It appeared there was more than enough wait staff. One server got into it with bartender loud enough for us to hear. Not sure numbers on kitchen staff but food was so slow to come out and pizza was last. We were there over two hours and were only able to get two drinks. The saving grace was the food was really good.

    Sat out on the patio and listened to live music- very nice evening! The food was delicious and we enjoyed ourselves(ladies night out)! I did however have sticker shock at the final bill as the wine we purchased 3 bottles was overpriced! I had bought a bottle of it the week prior for half the cost! I am a business owner but doubling you profit margin is a bit much! With that said it was great food!

    The calamari that we ordered was not cooked or if it was, it had the consistency of rubber bands and the marinara was tomato sauce (no flavor). Sent it back. Asked about the crab cake and the waiter could not answer the question, nor did he bother to find out- 2 strikes. I ordered veal saltimbocca and the veal was not fresh (tough) and it had so much ham on it that it distorted the taste. The sauce was nonexistent, canned mushrooms. My friend had the veal marsala- It was terrible, also. The lobster ravioli didn't have lobster, it was ground up whitefish with such a heavy sauce-ICK. The only decent dish was the Ragu Della Domenica, but the meat was not Filet tips (who would cook the best part of a cow for hours) it was a beef roast. When we asked for bread, we got 4 stale, cold, pieces. Total bill was $210.00, not worth $50.00- WE FOUR PEOPLE WILL NEVER BE BACK and we will tell all our friends. Olive garden would have been a better choice-A very disappointing anniversary dinner.

    The food was good. We ordered Italian staples and the only complaint was that they did not accommodate to switching sides out, and their Alfredo sauce is very thin. The staff was kind, the ambiance is a little weird. Can’t tell if it’s Italian or ocean themed.

    Every red sauce is it's own recipe. Most restaurants, the same sauce is used in every dish. Not so at Little Italy. Hours are poured into each dish. Mom is literally in the kitchen cooking. The wine list is extraordinary and the staff is very knowledgeable about the wine list. Exceptional dining experience!

    The service at the bar was great as was our appetizer. However, once we were seated at a table for our dinner reservation we were completely ignored. After 25-30 minutes of not being acknowledged, we notified the staff that we were leaving. There was no attempt to rectify the situation and at that point we were pretty much not in the mood to stay for a meal. We were disappointed and don't plan to return.
