Great Italian place. Food is second to none for italian in the area. Atmosphere is romantic and Old Florida feel. I proposed to my future wife here. Not a dress up place but not beach wear. Dinner comes with flatbread and oil. Menu is limited but everything on it is magnificent. more

My husband, four children, grandmother, and I visited this place one night while vacationing in the area over spring break. Only two cars were in the large parking lot at 6pm, making us think they were closed. We pulled up to the front door to see if they were open and to let our grandmother out of the car.

Amazing Pizza! more

Nice, relaxed atmosphere. Our server was friendly and timely eventhough she was waiting and bussing all of the other tables in the restaurant. The food was edible but bland. The New England Clam Chowder was the soup of the night which I find odd for a completely Italian establishment but it was very tasty and hearty. The bread was good... more

Slow service, maybe because the two individuals serving also Seated, Bussed tables , waited tables, and did the drinks. Everything was at a slow pace.

She ate from everyone's plates during the wait, but we absolutely couldn't believe the arrival times of the entrees - each plate... more

Myself and 6 family members visited Cafe Italia two years ago and definietely put it on our "list of restuarants to go back to next time we are in Ft. Walton". On April 23rd we returned. What a difference a couple of years make. Two of us ordered the same dish that we had previously ordered which was a shrimp... more

If you are looking for a relaxed atmosphere overlooking the water , and enjoy a relaxed paced meal of great food; definetly eat here. Nice Italian Wines. Good food, good service, great time. more

Small quiet, quaint place on the water. The food is real, home cooked, Italian. Everything from bread, to dinner: simply delicious. While the decoration is modest, the food, timing of the food and presentation were outstanding. (I prefer to have time between meal courses.) So far, this is the best food I've had in the Destin/FWB area. A personal recommendation... more
