The 13 best places for pasta in Cocoa Beach

We started with the scargot and the carpaccio and we really like both it was ok for the price , we ordered the mahi mahi was good wished it was grilled but it’s and ok dish , we also got a pasta was a bit flavorless , we then got the Hawaiian skillet it’s literally fajitas for 30$ the atmosphere is really good but today was full and we had to wait some time for the menu ! We were highly disappointed to see the last dish we order a steak with lobster was 79$ way over priced , nothing was really worth it for the price ! We definitely have been to other places with half price and more quality ! We wished it was good because it’s really pretty and the people are nice but it’s not worth it !

This is a wonderful little bistro style restaurant we discovered when we couldn’t get a seat to Coconut’s which is a few hundred feet away. This place was completely reserved but the waitress took us in regardless and promised we’d be in and out within an hour. That was actually 100% true and we greatly appreciated it. If you aren’t looking for this place you’d miss it because it’s rather inconspicuous compared to all the local bars. Located on a beach access area, LUNA is a small, but amazing spot for truly gourmet food. Wine aficionados would love this place. Reservations are highly recommended due to limited seating inside and some small tables outside. I don’t recommend sitting outside. Note this place is small and intimate. Your parties should not exceed 4 people. Single diners should eat at the bar. There are a ton of wine options and some neat cocktails. Beer is limited, nothing is on tap. The food was absolutely amazing! Most in our party had the ravioli which was homemade. The special featured scallops in the ravioli, and they were fresh. I opted for the macadamia nut crusted Mahi Mahi which was incredible. There’s a lot of love and pride going into this hidden gem, and it deserves all the high praise. It looks like some folks didn’t enjoy their food or the prices in other reviews, but these are the people who likely complain about the heat in Florida year round. Just go and give this place a try. Good food is worth the price.

The space is small but very charming, and the staff was welcoming at first, which made me look forward to the meal even more. Unfortunately, the food did not meet expectations. The portions were surprisingly small for the price, and while I don’t mind paying for quality, my fish was poorly prepared—overcooked on the outside and hard in the middle. When I mentioned it to the server, I was told it would be taken off my bill. Instead, they only gave me a 50% discount. That’s when I noticed the grouper I had ordered was actually $60 for a tiny portion and just a few vegetables. For that price, the quality and service should have been much better. It ended up feeling very unfair and disappointing. 3 scallops for $28??Crazy … but was good but Pompano Grill or Coa isn’t that expensive for appetizers ( other “high end” places nearby). Just really upset with my seafood dish and wish they kept their word

We tried a variety of dishes: the carpaccio and escargot were both really good, (around 16$ not bad, appetizers were really good to be honest) and the mahi-mahi was also quite tasty (around $37). But the rest left us disappointed. The Hawaiian skillet was basically just fajitas—nothing special—with fake wasabi and fake crispy onions. We also ordered the combo with lobster and steak—a market price item that ended up being $80. Honestly… for what? Especially considering the lobster was undercooked. Our server was very kind, but it took 20 minutes just to get our menus. And a small side of bread? $6. Some dishes impressed us, but overall it felt overpriced and the experience didn’t match the bill. Wouldn’t return.

Lisa and TJ were very welcoming! They accommodated us on a large party last minute after a wedding ceremony and even let us take in our own cake for dessert. The drinks TJ made us were really good and he even let us customize a bit. The food got some mixed reviews from our party. From what I was told the coconut shrimp was really good. The pad Thai I had was delicious. Unfortunately, one person was not a fan of Mac n cheese with shrimp, they felt the pasta was really dry. Also three people ordered their steaks medium well and all three came back rare. I just want to point out the service from Lisa and TJ was amazing and they were really helpful! I would gladly come back and recommend this place to others

10/10 experience!! Highly recommend if you are going to be in central Florida and plan on going to cocoa beach! James, Todd and Tj are a phenomenal team. Definitely will be back soon. Thanks James!

It was a great dining experience. The ambiance was pretty good. It’s a good place to be catching up with some friends and family. The food was new to our tastebuds. It was just a little expensive for the amount of servings. But the quality and uniqueness of the dishes was fantastic.

This place is a MUST! I wish we had known about it years ago. First off, our server, Trevor, was top tier. He was very polite, incredibly helpful, and made sure we were accommodated the whole time. You can’t ask for a better server. This guy deserves some recognition and a raise! My wife and I had a 14inch meat lovers pizza with green peppers and onions. It was absolutely incredible all around. We weren’t sure if the 14 would be big enough but it was more than enough. They also offer a 16 inch. The kids had the Spaghetti and Meat balls and the Pepperoni roll. They loved them both! The place was well kept, clean, and a great family oriented environment. Menu rices were very reasonable. No complaints there. All in all, this place is now on our list of places to eat here in Cocoa Beach! One of the best places we’ve eaten down here!

In town for the evening getting ready to board a cruise & stopped by this eatery to try the pizza. From the moment we walked in EVERY ONE was very welcoming! Their customer service was top notch to say the least! We ordered carryout & while we waited, the bartender offered us drinks, the manager chatted with us & the whole place had a great vibe. Now on to the food, we ordered a slice of pepperoni pizza, cheese pizza & supreme pizza & a chef salad. The slices were huge & the salad served 2 adults. The ranch was homemade & delicious. This definitely is one of the BEST pizzerias I've ever visited. It's a MUST if you're in the area!!

Fantastic place for pizza, Italian food, and great cannoli. We stopped here while on vacation and they definitely did not disappoint. The garlic knots are complimentary, they were delicious. Their marinara is so good. The pizza is amazing and they do not disappoint with toppings. The meatballs were so good and we added cheese!! Even the Pepsi’s we ordered were great! Next time I’m in town, I will definitely come back!! You can also order huge slices of pizza!!

Oh my goodness. After a hot round of mini golf, this place hit the spot! A small, hole in the wall looking restaurant was the most fabulous find! When you walk in, the counter area is quite small but the outstanding and very helpful staff make you feel right at home. There is a huge Italian menu for sit down or take out. They have pizzas by slice and will make a pizza slice fresh with your choice of toppings. The slices were HUGE! There is a bar area to also enjoy a beverage. The pizzas are outstanding. We loved it so much, we tried to visit again before we left but they were closed on a Monday.

Atmosphere was lively and friendly. Service was spot on. Pizza slices and Caesar & Greek salads were of large portions and delicious. I definitely Recommend Papa Vito's 👍👍👍

We had an amazing experience at Papa Vito’s Italian Restaurant and Pizza Kitchen! From start to finish, everything was top-notch, especially our waiter, Steve, who went above and beyond. He was friendly, attentive, and made sure we were well taken care of the entire time. We started with the Zesty Cheese Bread, and wow!! It was perfectly toasted, loaded with flavor, and the cheese pull was unreal. Then we couldn’t pass up the $0.75 early bird wing special, which turned out to be a fantastic deal! I mixed it up with 6 BBQ wings and 6 Asian Zest, and both were delicious!! Between the great service, awesome food, and unbeatable specials, Papa Vito’s is definitely a spot we’ll be coming back to. Huge thanks to Steve for making the experience even better!!

This is one of the only places in the area that does takeout slices, especially at night. There was not a wide variety of slices to choose from, so I got one cheese 🧀 and one everything. The pizzas 🍕 were perfectly floppy, but in some parts over crispy. The pizza sauce lacked flavor, but thankfully the slices were big. I wouldn’t come back again, but I can see why people enjoy it!

The food was so good we couldn't take pictures before we dug in! The lobster bisque, the chicken parm, the ravioli, and oh my gosh the tiramisu! I couldn't stop eating the fried calamari. Place is beautiful and the wait staff was extremely friendly. Can't wait to come back, I hear the pizza is fantastic too.

We took advantage of the Kids Eat Free on Tuesday offer!. Really nice ambiance in the outdoor patio and service was really good!. All the different pasta plates we tried were really good! Highly recommended if you are visiting Cocoa Beach.

Thanks, Claire! You are amazing 💕 We were very happy to dine here! Everything was great, both the service and the food! The pizza was especially delicious, as was the seafood! We had a lot of fun!

On vacation for my 21st birthday and my group decided Brano’s would be a nice place to enjoy a dinner together. The food was delicious (we highly recommend the arancini) and the staff were beyond friendly. Edward was very kind and took pictures of our group, as well as surprising me with a special insert on their sign out front (see pictures below). I wish I could remember our waitress’s name because she was great also! It was a bit toasty outside, but their patio was covered and had plenty of fans, making it bearable. If you’re looking for a great dinner spot near the beach, here’s your spot!

We went here on a whim to celebrate my husband's birthday 🎂 and I'm so glad we did. The service and the food was Outstanding. I had the chicken Gorgonzola and it was to die for my husband had the chicken parmesan also good and very tender. I also had the Buffalo mozzarella Capri salad out of this world with balsamic vinegar glaze. Come here and they have a beautiful atmosphere inside and outside on the patio just absolutely splendid this is good for everyone if you love Italian food that is authentic and not a cookie cutter. Thank you branos for making my husband's birthday very special!

Had a great dinner at Brano’s! The food was delicious, and the service was friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. We sat outside to enjoy the beautiful weather—such good vibes all around. Would definitely come back to try more of their dishes!

Ordered a LG pizza carry out and asked for it to be well, well done extra crispy. Flopped so much the toppings were falling off. Terrible undercarriage. Then the taste, not so good, either. Didn't give it a 1 star because the food the people had on the patio actually looked pretty good, but our pizza was a 1. Honestly, I'd go to try their other food, but absolutely never again on their pizza for $34.

Having a meal at Pompano Grill is an absolute pleasure. Chef Ricardo is consistently creating the most unique food experiences. Make reservations and enjoy dining at this quaint, locally owned and operated restaurant. A 5 Star experience.

A girls retreat for the weekend and we found this restaurant and was an incredible dining experience.The service was wonderful. Our waiter was so attentive and accommodating. The ambiance was perfect and the food was excellent and beautiful presentation. We will come back!

Me and my wife shared an amazing experience at Pompano Grill! From the moment we got to the restaurant we already knew it was going to be something special. Food was exceptional! For appetizers we had their bread and butter and for this particular night, they had prime rib sliders which both appetizers were phenomenal. Then we went into the salad portion of the dining experience which let me not forget that our waiter through out of all of this was informative about everything on the menu and just a great guy to talk to. For our main meal I had the triple tail and my wife had the spaghetti and meatballs . My wife loves Italian food and loves pasta and this did not disappoint. She absolutely loved the meat balls and pasta here. I’m a sucker for fish and boy it did not disappoint. All in all this is our new favorite restaurant and we will be coming back for more!

Had such a fun and meaningful dinner with my girls! The vibe was just right, the food was absolutely exquisite, and the service made the night. Huge shoutout to Austin, his warmth, attention, and positive energy made us feel truly special. He turned a great night into an unforgettable one. 😍🥰

My husband and I just went here for a date night. We vacation here every year, and this was our first time eating here. The service was top-notch, and the food was incredible. I highly recommend it!

This small and cozy CCB restaurant offers unique twists to traditional seafood, steak and pasta dishes with Chef Ricardo’s personal touch. You will never be bored by the menu with great sauces, outstanding appetizers and seafood and steaks. Pompano has the expected incredible seafood selection of a premiere sea-focused offerings but the steaks eclipse even the national high end houses: perfectly prepared and served by friendly, well informed staff. These things, along with a magnificent wine list will convince you along with the many other fans of Pompano Grill that this is a very special place for dinner.

Pompano Grill is a hidden gem! 💎 This small, locally owned restaurant is truly something special. The chef pours heart and soul into every dish, and it shows—everything is made from scratch, including the desserts (which are next level). The atmosphere is cozy and intimate, perfect for a special night out. It’s small, so reservations are a must, but 100% worth it. Support small business and treat yourself—you won’t regret it. ✨

Run of the mill mexican fare. The food is okay, the service was great, and the portions are good sized for the price. The mexican rice is a bit dry (undercooked). The chips and salsa are good. Salsas have good flavor, but the they were a bit too chunky.

This restaurant is a Cocoa Beach classic, been around for years. My wife and I stopped in for lunch today, our last visit was a long time ago. We walked in, were greeted with a tray full of chips, salsa, and set-ups. You order at the counter, and pay, lunch is brought to your table. We snacked on chips and salsa, very good, while we waited for our meals. The staff refilled our drinks and brought lunch. I had an enchilada/chili relleno combo that came on two plates, my wife had a Magnum, a large burrito filled with chicken, covered in sauce and cheese, served hot. Everything was very good, and we ate as much as we could, great portions. Fun time, with drinks the tab was just under 37$ before tip. We will be back!

We really liked this place! And the staff is SO awesome! I had them pick my meal and they chose the CHINGS - epic! Next time back we are going with the CHONGS. The only thing we weren't extremely thrilled with was total bill (price), however it's totally worth supporting local business. We will 100% be back. 🔥

Taco City, best fried tacos! Legendary, Mouthwatering, vibrant flavored salsa, good beans,and friendly home town service. Doubles as a local Art Studio for select artists. A must-visit spot for taco enthusiasts! Thank you!

Taco City absolutely delivered. The food was fresh, flavorful, and had that classic beach-town vibe. I had the fish tacos and they were some of the best I’ve ever had. Crispy, perfectly seasoned, and topped with just the right amount of sauce. The service was fast and friendly. The atmosphere is laid-back and beachy, just how you want it after a day in the sun. Whether you're a local or just passing through Cocoa Beach, this place is a must. I’ll definitely be back.

Absolutely the best most authentic Mexican food. Excellent prices and flavors

This place is a local favorite. I love Chings with Chicken try it Nirvana style.

If you are desiring true authentic Italian food, this is the place! This hidden gem has excellent personal service & a clean appealing atmosphere. There is a nice selection of imported Beverages and wines from Italy, The quality of food is as if your "Nona" prepared it herself. True authentic Italian food made with love. All of our prepared dishes were nicely displayed. Our dinning choices consisted of the fresh arugula & caprese salads, the parmigiana di melanzane eggplant appetizer, the riggitoni alla bolognese al dente', and the Quattro formaggi, Margherita and Funghi brick oven pizzas. Each dish had an amazing taste of home quality and would have you thinking of what to order on your next visit, haaa. The pizza's were a generous size for a 12", with a very light dough consisting of a ever so slight char and quality sauce & toppings. Delicious is an understatement. We topped it off with expresso and the homemade Tiramisu dessert. Couldn't snap a photo quick enough before the ladies dove in... now have a new goto restaurant in Cocoa Beach, Bravo!

Absolutely amazing pizza! When folks said this was like eating pizza in Naples (Italy), they weren’t exaggerating. We had the meatballs as a starter and then three different pizzas which were all very flavorful. It’s not the biggest place, so on a busy night be prepared to wait. It’s worth it. That was my complaint about this amazing place: It’s quite small and easy to miss based on its location.

It was fine. My wife had the calzone, i had the meat lovers. the crust/bread/dough was fantastic! Mine was burnt. I’m not angry. I get pizza ovens are notoriously finnicky and the crust was thin. the rest of the toppings were just fine. kinda bland

What a Gem! This place was absolutely fantastic. I can’t believe that I hadn’t previously known about it. I have no photos except for our empty plates. Starters: We ordered the Polpetes & Caprese Salad for starters. The meatballs & sauce were very flavorful and wonderfully homemade. Primo Piato: All three of us ordered the Rigatoni Bolognese which was also perfectly done, with the rigatoni cooked perfectly al dente. Pizzas: Ee ordered the Diavola, rhe Margarita, and the Fungi. Everyone loved their pizza. The crusts were true Napolitana, the sauce was yummy, the mozzarella was fresh and tender, and the various toppings were the perfect amount. For Dessert, we shared a Tiramisu. Never tasted such a wonderful Tiramisu before. I wish I could have fit more in my stomach. Luckily my daughters couldn’t finish theirs, and brought theirs home. I’ll be eating that today for breakfast. So glad I saw Mangia & Bevi in a FB page that I follow, and this place is going on my list of favorites to visit at least once a month. If you haven’t already, you have to go for yourself. This is real, simple, Italian food. The best Italian food are the simple recipes it doesn’t have to be overly complex, and they do it perfectly at Mangia & Bevi, which is now on my personal Top 2 Italian restaurants in Brevard County. I’m Italian, grew up eating real homemade Italian food, I cook Italian in my house - everything from scratch, all old school recipes, so I have a flavor standard when it comes to Italian. Sorry, no pics to show except our empty plates! Hit this place!

I will start by saying I only review restaurants that impress me. I will also say I know pizza. Having eaten in some of the highest rated pizzeria's in the country and didn't feel a need to give them a review. We walked in and were energetically welcomed by every employee in view. The dining area could use an upgrade in tables, chairs, and decor. As well as fountain soda rather than bottled. But if that's what keeps you from trying this place you will be missing out. I ordered the 16" meat lover's with red sauce. The crust was perfect, the red sauce delicious and a perfect balance to the cheese, meats, fresh basil and the extra virgin olive oil. I do not say this lightly, hands down the single best pizza I have ever had!! This place should be on everyone's list to try. You will not be disappointed!

Not only does it smell amazing once you walk in but it feels like a slice of Italy. Everyone I spoke to was awesome plus I was able to enjoy watching my pizza being made (ladies it’s a view hehe you’re welcome) but the margarita pizza is so delicious and beautiful! Just look! Next time I definitely will have to stay there and eat instead of taking pizza to go.

The staff is very friendly, and you feel like you're sitting in a family kitchen in Italy! The aroma of the pizzas baking in their wood-fired oven is intoxicating! The pizza is so good with such healthy pizza dough! It was crispy, but not too much. The cheese was delicious, and it was an authentic European pizza. Very much like the pizza I had in Switzerland. Yummy!

I ordered a large two-item pizza with extra sauce for pick up. At the risk of sounding petty, I paid for double pepperoni on half and got what I consider less than the regular amount of pepperoni. One piece had a pepperoni and a half. This pizza hardly had any sauce and was very light on the cheese, was overcooked on top and undercooked on the bottom. Again I know it sounds petty but, for over thirty dollars, I was very disappointed. Still searching for a good pizza in the Cocoa Beach Area...

This is a good restaurant to have a quick lunch with some beer after spending time on the nearby Cocoa beach. There is parking for 5-6 vehicles outside. We visited on a weekday and the place was nearly empty apart from just one occupied table. We ordered the veggie pizza which was thin crust and it was really delicious. Not too fancy but good pizza place.

Good food. Garlic cheese knots were delicious and my husband's White Pizza was especially delicious 😋 oh, yeah... my husband asked that I include that I lost in foosball (they have a few entertaining games there).

Stopped by because we didn't want a touristy place. This looked as if it survived with a lot of local custom. Marie, who may be one of the proprietors, was friendly and efficient. Turned out we had possibly the best pizza ever we had. It was great. We also had one beer and a glass of red wine. A very lucky stop for us.

The server was really nice the food tasted amazing and the decorations make it cool. This place really deserves more hype. It’s a good price for a nice restaurant.

First time here barely any body in and after waiting they messed up the order they bring us the regular order in was burned and disgusting. We couldn't eat them. Pretty bad pizza, burned and grease. Don't recommend it at all!!

Made a reservation online for 7:00 on Saturday night! Got there and it was packed, but our friends were already at our reserved table. The server came right away, got our drink order, brought us the rolls that our delicious! Took our orders and didn’t have to wait long for it. It was my birthday and the staff came and sang Happy Birthday to me, which was AWESOME! Thanks for making my birthday celebration special!!!

The Prosciutto pizza was excellent. I got the New York style although I really wanted the Wood Fire. It was a tough choice. Really generous toppings which I love, quality ingredients. Obvious, just by looking at the pizza, but super obvious on first bite. I am a big fan of wedge salad. Since this was a takeout I had my expectation set kind of medium, and the wedge salad was excellent. Having lived in the area for a few years. I've learned not to order takeout during spring break, but these folks really have it together. To my point, they delivered food in perfect condition, which is rare these days. Ordering takeout has become my yardstick for measuring the quality of a restaurant kitchen staff. I'm a Chef so I notice everything. Every detail. My only request would be more blue cheese dressing for the wedge salad, but the toppings were nearly perfect. The bacon was so delicious and the dice was perfect. The cannolis were delicious and a perfect ending to this meal. If you must have food delivered, I highly recommend Pancetta.

What a huge disappointment. We ate here a few months ago and loved it. Tonight was not good. We started with wedge salad and that is excellent. Ordered 2 Detroit pizzas and they were all dough. The pepperoni was good, so no worries. The vodka chicken had no taste and even worse, only a few pieces of chicken on one piece of pizza. To make matters worse, our server forgot to add my daughters dinner and never came to check on the table, so I finally flagged her down yo tell her. She said it would be one more minute until I asked if she forgot. She did. Nobody came by the table and she presented the check saying “I’m sure you don’t want anything else” which was true, but not the best service recovery. Did I mention that 2 pizzas took 50 MINUTES to come out after ordering? And they were not busy AT ALL? As luck would have it, I was asked about the food by another customer as we were walking to the car. I told them not yo bother, as it was a train wreck. Maybe the manager or owner had the night off. Took my daughter to Jimmy John’s for something to eat.

Stopped here on a Saturday around 5:00 pm with a visiting cousin and both of us were very impressed with the food and service. The flavors of our food were simply amazing and delicious. We ordered a wood fire white pizza, wood fired wings and 2 humongous meatballs. Found out they have a Happy Hour with 1/2 off prices daily from 3 -5. They are closed on Monday and Tuesday. I am definitely going back to this tasty treasure to try the eggplant dish. Do not hesitate to give this place try. Word of mouth brought me here. Glad I gave it a visit.

Everything is so fresh. Made to order pasta, delish in house made dressings, simple, pure and high end ingredients in everything. I love this new, elevated pizza house. From the ambience, to the pizza oven, and down to the filtered water which makes every ingredient taste better. This is now our go to pizza place in Cocoa Beach. Enjoy yourself while you’re here. Order a glass of wine. Even if a couple of dishes arrive staggered, it’s 100% worth it. You won’t find this same attention given to each plate in any other pizza place on or near cocoa beach.

My favorite place we tried while in Cocoa beach! The garlic bread was flavorful and cooked perfectly. The sauce to dip it in was a very good accompaniment. I ordered the spaghetti and meatballs and the presentation was very nice. The meatballs were very flavorful and tender. They went so well with their Marinara sauce. I definitely would get this dish again! My husband has the pepperoni pizza. It was very greasy but he enjoyed it. The pepperoni were crispy and spicy.

Recently visited Pancetta Pizza Bar in Cocoa Beach! Food was delicious and nicely portioned. Began with the meatball salad. The meatball was tender and moist and had just the right amount of acidity in the sauce balanced by the creaminess of the ricotta cheese dollop. The salad was crisp and cut through the richness of the meatball. The carne wood fired pizza was the favorite. The undercarriage was perfectly crispy and the toppings left me craving each consecutive bite. We had two Hero’s - meatball, sausage, ricotta and steak & cheese. Both were good, but we thought the meatball, sausage, ricotta stood out. Overall, great simple Italian bar food with many other Italian staples on the menu to try next time. Dessert was sold out, but was expected during soft opening. Can’t wait to try next time!

I cannot say enough positive things about this place. Convenient to Ron Jon’s. Located in an unassuming little shopping center across the street, when you walk in you are transported. The atmosphere was great. But more importantly the pizza knocked our socks off! Listen, I don’t like mushrooms, but I got the white pizza unaltered, with its ‘shrooms, and it was outstanding. What sorcery is this? The pizzas were all expertly and artfully crafted. Such precision! The cheesesteak was probably the best we’ve ever had. We finished up with a rich, creamy cheesecake, and the Nutella pizza, both tenderly handcrafted. So much heart and soul goes into the food, you can taste it in each and every bite.

Learned that this place is longer a food truck, but once we found the spot up on the pier, it was totally worth it! The staff were super friendly and offered great suggestions on flavors. The only tricky part was figuring out their hours, online it said they were open until 7, but when we showed up around 4 one day, they were already closed. Luckily, we came back the next day around lunchtime and got to enjoy some shaved ice. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area!

Maui J’s is located on Cocoa Beach Pier. It’s an okay option if you’re looking for a treat while at the beach but I wouldn’t go out of my way to get it. I’m a fan of other types of ice like Pelican’s and Jeremiah’s and when you’ve had those, this one doesn’t compare. The flavors are watery and you can barely taste them and the pieces of ice are larger and not shaved as fine as others. I do love the bowls they’re served in which probably accounts for the pricing. (6.95/regular 8.95/large)

Best shaved Ice around! Super Happy family! Reminded me of being a kid again- good prices.

I grew up eating shaved ice in Hawaii and when I moved to the states I never found a placed. Came to cocoa beach for vacation and saw Maui j. The gentleman at the front was really nice and worked fast. For my folks who grew up in Hawaii, he had li hing mui powder!!!!!!!! I hate I’m leaving soon but I’m glad I got to get my shaved ice.

The family was craving some Hawaiian ice so we heading to Cocoa Beach. We stopped by the pier and checked out Maui J's. Super good service, friendly Caucasian male was super nice and helpful. Big, real Hawaiian ice that were perfect on a hot day.

Amazing location, delicious flavors, and extremely kind staff. Slightly pricey but it's worth it. They put lots of the ice in there and make sure the flavor goes throughout the entire thing. They also let you put lots of flavors in there for no extra cost.

Closed yet say they're open. Terrible. All the way here for this joint paid $20.00 for parking & no shaved ice. Sad. With 6 kids. Go figure not our lucky day.

We got there pretty late for dinner and there were many open tables. There were 3 open tables by the windows but we couldn't get them since we didn't have a reservation. Only one of them was used by the time we left. Service was very poor. After being seated, we sat for about 15 minutes before our waiter showed up at the table and that was only because the manager saw us and chased him over. After that the waiter checked on us often, but again later wasn't there when we needed him. I ran out of water and he was busy with another table for 10+ minutes. He finally refilled my water about 15 minutes after it ran out (I was trying to wave him down the whole time). It was just the wife and me, but we were seated at a large 6 person table since the smaller tables by the windows weren't available. We started with the grilled alligator. I've had alligator many times in many places. This was the most tender grilled alligator that I've ever had. But it was covered with some extremely salty spices that more or less ruined the dish for both of us. We had the blackened grouper and snapper. The rice pilaf that came with was great. The vegetables and freshly baked bread were very good. The grouper was not that great (too fishy and dry) perhaps a bit old. The snapper was very good in terms of fish quality. Their version of blackened fish leaves a lot to be desired though. It was more of a Cajun fish then blackened. Overall the view was great and the menu was a bit better than the other options on the pier, but it really didn't deliver the kind of quality that we were looking for. The price would have been acceptable if the service and food quality had been better, but they weren't.

We had our wedding reception at the Atlantic Ocean Grille in October and are so very pleased with the enitre process from start to finish. Lucy Paulson, who manages the events there is absolutely FANTASTIC! I cannot say enough positive things about her, this restaurant, and her staff. The food there was incredible, the staff and service was absolutely perfect and the decor and view was immaculate. Our family and friends also had brunch the next day (Sunday morning) and the buffet there was delicious and the variety of foods vast. The staff who had just been serving our wedding the night before were back in the morning and were just as pleasant as they had been. Our experience here was wonderful and we will always come back every time we're in Cocoa Beach.

The service and food was great. I didn't expect too much from this place because I'm from a bigger city here on an internship at NASA. My boyfriend had the Chicken Piccata and I had the Shrimp Jerk Seasoning Caesar salad. His plate was good. Only four stars because the place was a little under-dated. Time for a remodel

Made reservations for my birthday. The seating and view were amazing! Our table was right by the window looking out over the ocean. It was beautiful. Service was terrific as well as the food. I got filet minot and it was perfect. The side items were to die for. Everyone else's food was great as well. Very pleased and can't wait to go back!

We had a group of ten of us go there after a tour of Cape Canaveral, and were happy with the food. The drinks were also good, but the service was a bit spotty in places. Overall, we were happy, and would go there again in Cocoa Beach.

The clam chowder was the best! The bowls were to small though and a little pricey for the size. The live bands rocked! Margaritas was really good for half price.

Our dinner was delicious and our waiter was prompt and very friendly. The view from the restaurant is breath taking. If you are in cocoa Beach you have to stop here.

Our family's favorite restaurant. We love the pasta dishes. The marinara and ala vodka sauces are simply delicious, and put some well-known Italian chains to shame. On nice nights, we love the courtyard, and the desserts are usually excellent. Be sure and try a home-made cheesecake or the chocolate cake if you fancy either. We love them

This seems like a place where the owners said to themselves "Hey, we're Italian and we like food and we have money so... let's open an Italian Restaurant". The problem is the food is terrible. Now, I am no chef but I know what good food tastes like. I grew up eating plenty of good Italian food since we lived in NY. We went here once and will never return. And these reviews are skewed anyway. Bill Ryan basically said the food was terrible but gave it 4 stars?!?! And Norman Keith compares it to Disney prices and gives it 5 stars? Give me a break.

The building is nice, the decor is very nice, but the food was bland and disappointing. My Chicken Picatta was lacking any kind of zing, my wife was quite bored with her Penne Primavera, and my younger son didn't have much to say about his Chicken Alfredo. The only one of us who enjoyed his food was my older son, who ordered the Stromboli w/ Sausage and Pepperoni. Overall, we were pretty disappointed, especially considering the prices weren't any bargains. There must be better choices for Italian food nearby.

What a wonderful experience! The FOOD was so AMAZING and the staff and owner were so FRIENDLY that I remembered eating there 12 years ago when we went to Cocoa Beach for our Disney cruise vacation in 2001. We just went on another cruise this August 2013, and I made my husband drive around until we found it. It was sooooooo worth it!! Wish I lived closer!! See you next vacation!!! P.S. My kids are still raving about the garlic knots!!!

We ordered take out it came without any spoons, forks, or napkins we were at a hotel so that was definitely an inconvenience. That was not the worse part, the pizza has to be the worse I have ever had in my life. The cheese wasnt melted, it was gross to say the least. We ordered chicken Alfredo, the sauce was disgusting the chicken taste like cardboard. If your in the mood for overpriced hospital food then enjoy but if not then stay clear! 40 dollars later and im beyond disappointed.

My wife ordered the Chicken Parmesan and I ordered the Zupa Di Pesca and when the Garlic knots arrived, they were covered with so much oregano that it was all we could taste. The waiter, John who was a blessing brought us more knots with no oregano and they were perfect. Also at that time another table just complained about the same thing. When my seafood arrived I was disappointed that all I could taste was the marinara sauce and when I told my wife she said the same about her chicken parm. I tasted her food and had to agree. We so wanted to have a good meal as this was our 40th anniversary. 1/20/12

Looking for Italian and spotted it before the bridge. It was so good. 4 of us and we all had something different. Lasagna, Manicotti, Penne and pepperoni pizza. Order the large pizza. It's addicting. Plus drinks for the 4 of us total was under $60.00. We had burgers at Disney that cost 85.00 When in town again will definitely go again...
