Jess was a wonderful server. Great food at a very reasonable price. Nice atmosphere. The only reason not 5 stars was the air conditioner could have been cooler.

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.

We always select booth inside. Christine was our server - and was very attentive! Has a great breakfast too. Pepe’s is a Key West institution…must stop in. We sat in President Truman’s booth

Good food. Kind of loud inside, which was the only thing. But that might not bother others. It was worth it, we were seated at our reservation time, and served pretty timely.

Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville, once only a state of mind is now a state of being and a landmark on Duval Street. Margaritaville Key West embraces the mythical world defined by the insightful lyrics of singer/songwriter Jimmy Buffett for over three decades. Characters both local and from prose and poem create an entertaining atmosphere that brings to life the search for the legendary lost shaker of salt. If you are looking for the real Key West experience, you'll find it here with the island-inspired menu, those famous concoctions and live music worthy of the name.
