I was blown away! This is a must see place. The food is amazing. The staff is very pleasant and helpful. The outside area is more cozy. It can get a little loud in the main dining area. We can't wait to go back again.
Food is always great, the service is friendly and fast. Great family spot. The Sunday gravy is awesome!
Great pizza in Key West! The HELLS KITCHEN DIAVOLA - San Marzano Tomatoes, mozzarella, oregano, garlic, SPICY salami and pecorino cheese was great but I tried others at the table too including the TRUFFLE AND MUSHROOMS - Mozzarella, pecorino, mushrooms, prosciuito and truffles, and the BUFFALO CHICKEN PIZZA - The new local's favorite combination! Yes, they were all great! Service for our large group was outstanding and, just going there on a whim, we didn't have to wait long to get the large table outside. Inside or outside, you will be happy here!
Ambiance was good and services was good. Definitely seemed like a local spot and was a nice find. Food was a little bland but not awful. Chicken was good!
I've been here countless times since my first review and enjoy it. I've come to terms with the fact that the appetizers & pizza are better than the entrees. My favorite appetizer is the burrata. With the little toasts and pesto and prosciutto... YUM! Everything else I mentioned prior is also still delicious. The salads are small for the price so I would skip out on those. Also, their lunch sandwich specials are great. The bread they use is just so good.
A locals favorite spot. They currently have an end of summer menu with $12 pastas that are delicious. $10 1 topping pizza is a great appetizer, got it with prosciutto best decision of my life. Only thing I wasn't too happy with this visit was the zucchini "fries." Pieces were too big and flavorless. Service was great !
Came here just for dessert tonight and it was amazing. The Affogato was so delicious, pairing it with crème brûlée was heavenly. The Tawney Port was fire, and not just because it was boozy. The servers here are always amazing.
Roostica is a cute wood fired pizza restaurant that tucked away on Stock Island. They have an enormous patio with complete coverage from the sun and lots of fans to keep the air flowing and the bugs at bay! We tried the lobster pizza was really tasty, but not my favorite on the island. They use warm water lobster rather than Maine lobster which is my preference. I didn't get to try the other pizzas, but I am absolutely certain the other pizza options would be delicious, as the sauce was on point. We will be back again on our next visit!
