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.

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.

8 of us dined and everyone loved their meals including appetizers that were ordered. Donna was our server and we can’t say enough about her. She was fun, entertaining, and sweet. She made our experience that much better.

Duck Key

About the restaurant

Angler & Ale, an amazing restaurant where 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 service. Delicious food. Icy-cold beer. Doesn’t get any better than that. Our outdoor seating is non reservable and based on availability at the time of your seating.

This was a great dinner! We sat on the deck overlooking the marina….I’d definitely recommend sitting outside if the weather is nice. Our server, India , was a delight and her recommendations were spot on. The Fisherman’s Pasta was AMAZING! I needed an extra piece of the seared focaccia to absorb the tasty sauce…delicious! We would definitely go back again, and would request India.

Really nothing special, somewhat limited menu. Service was ok, might not return as there are better options in Key West. Gift shop was adjacent and actually better than the restaurant.

We had the Easter buffet and it was fantastic. All the food was delicious. There were so many items to choose from, from sushi to prime rib. The desserts were super with a wide variety to pick from. Vanessa our server was very good, she took great care of us. Very glad we decided to have Easter brunch at Flaggers.

About the restaurant

Located in the heart of Islamorada at mile marker 81.6, the Morada Bay Keys Beach Café & Bar lays amidst a beautiful palm-lined beach, overlooking blue waters, with walking paths through tropical flowers. You’ll find inside and outside bars and dining areas, live unique entertainment, spectacular sunsets and a large child-friendly beach with cozy Adirondack chairs.

The Café is conceived to evoke the feel of a beach café where the Hawaiian and Californian surfers and sailboarders would relax after a day on the water. As such, its walls are adorned with surfboards, longboards, sail and kite boards, as well as many original 60’s surf posters.

The Café’s menu showcases the freshest in local seafood and produce, the fare is both innovative and eclectic. The Café’s bar and wine offerings are equally noteworthy. The Café is open for dining seven days a week from 11 AM to 10 PM.
