The food is absolutely incredible. I love the pesto and t-moneys white sauce. Consistent. Everytime. The service is also incredible. Ashleigh is the best server we have ever had ever!. You must make a reservation before though. Outside heaters keep you warm on cold nights so sitting outside is still enjoyable. Live music outside some nights too. We always love to bring family and friends here when they are in town.
Hidden gem in Pensacola! This Italian restaurant is one you won’t want to miss. The food was delicious. Their menu doesn’t lie when it says the food will take while to come out; it is made TO ORDER. Well worth the wait. Our server, Anna, was wonderful. She had great recommendations for the food and was very attentive. The restaurant is unique in that it acquired a home next to the property and renovated the inside to be an extension of the restaurant. The main building offers outdoor seating and inside seating near the kitchen. Between the two buildings is a canopy area offering outdoor seating and a fire pit. I highly recommend visiting!
The food is rated so well, I hate to leave anything contrary. My wife is the Italian fan so I’ll * her part. For starters, we didn’t have a reservation. If you are driving more than 15 minutes, CALL THEM & make a reservation first! The staff was VERY accommodating though. It was our 6th anniversary, we have a 10mo old baby & God gave us an opportunity to get seated quickly. Service was fantastic and very informative. The dishes are quite complex and require some real prep and skill to deliver a divine, complex dish.… Wife-*Joey’s Baked gf tortellini was fantastic! The sauce, cheese, & pasta perfectly cooked and combined perfectly. The ROMAN’S DIRTY OIL & GARLIC with shrimp was fantastic! Plenty of decent sized shrimp, a lot of flavor with garlic & herbs!* My part- Lots of garlic which I love. You can order any dish with a different heat level and I opted for “Hot.” These dishes are made with plenty of flavorful ingredients so the need for any heat wasn’t necessary, as the heat is also with fresh peppers! Anyone who tries fresh peppers knows the heat can vary and this was a mistake on my part! Way too hot to really enjoy, however; I did pull as many of the chunks of peppers I could easily remove out & reheated the next day, the dish was much better! Which it would’ve been that great to begin with had I not asked for it the way that I did. As for Quantity, there is no small portion so bring your appetite!!! The bread was bland for both of us especially in comparison to the loaded flavor of our entree’s. I got DAD’S MUSHROOMS from the raving reviews. It is a good complex dish but seemed a little over diced on all of the ingredients. It might have been better spread on a flavorful bread/toast but not necessarily as an appetizer on its own. Ultimately, try this place and a dish as it comes and then modify at a 2nd visit if you feel it lacked something. Finally, the tiramisu was fantastic. Not too heavy and not too light. Not too sweet but not bland.
Cozy small restaurant, with authentic food, generous portions, awesome food quality, and world class service. Waitress was Hannah and the owner made rounds to all tables during our dinner. I think this is the best Italian in Pensacola.
First time experience tonight, unfortunately wasn’t great. Read all the great reviews and was excited. Waiter was outstanding for most of experience though. My lasagna was so spicy it was not edible. I did inquire if it was supposed to be so spicy and waiter advised no. He may have been busy, but didn’t offer to remedy even though I clearly didn’t touch the dish after one bite. My kids did love the Alfredo. We were there for my moms birthday and she did ask the hostess bangs and glasses tonight if she could snap a quick photo of the family and she said “no, she was too busy making calls” I realize taking a photo is not her job, but as the first/last person to make/leave impression on customers I would hope it would be someone slightly kind. Her attitude made everyone very uncomfortable, sadly don’t think we will give it a second try. Presentation of dishes were nice.
The five star ratings given for Bonelli's are all so much deserved. The aroma in the air was the first sign, I knew my meal would be tasty. Just a heads up make a reservation. Outdoor seating is also available. I had a glass of Moscato from the wine list. They also have a full bar available. I love the way the sauces are named on the menu. The portions are HUGE ! Everything was great from the bread, meatballs and mushrooms appetizers, chicken parmesan, house special to the service and atmosphere. One thing I wish I had done was order desert first. I was too stuffed to even think about desert. Bonelli's is
This was the best pasta I’ve ever had, would 10/10 recommend. The service was great as well, and the food was a bit slow but you could tell it was made to order with how fresh everything was. I got the shrimp Diavolo and the shrimp was so fresh and cooked perfectly, although the medium spice is not as spicy as I had hoped I’ll go up to hot next time. The portions are nicely sized and the bread+dip is a nice snack while waiting for the food.
Food was excellent, but a bit pricey especially if you want to add any protien to your pasta an sauce. But every dish I tried was delicious, will definitely go back.Food: 5/5
We made reservations for four on a Friday night. We were seated immediately. Our server, Amy was friendly, efficient and very knowledgable. Charming and small the restaurant is clean and well maintained. They also have a couple of outdoor areas, perfect for cooler times of the year. Inside is small and the smells from the kitchen are like a symphony for your nose. I will have to admit I have never encountered a restaurant where half the menu is based on various sauces and heatspice levels. Which myself being a fan of spicy foods, I found quite attractive. This allows you to "build your own" pasta dishes. I would add the servings are Italian family size, HUGE! So either way, sharing entrees or bringing leftovers back for later you could eat for days! At any rate be sure and check out the "specials" these are original chef creations and were quite good. We had the first special which was a ravioli based layered dish with crumbled meatballs, vodka sauce Italian sausage and lots of cheese on top. What could be bad? Folks this is truly a fine, family run establishment. It's not what I would call refined dining but the service is good and the food is certainly elevated and delicious. If you're in the Pensacola area dont miss this jewel. I'm sure it gets really busy so reservations are recommended. We will definitely be going back! UrbanCowgill February 2023
