Coming here was a truly magical experience. I wholeheartedly enjoyed the entire evening that we spent here . Fabulous sunset views on the waterfront, sipping tropical cocktails , taking amazing photos and making new friends. Not to mention fantastic homemade Italian food from a family and recipes that have been served for decades. And their fried shrimp were really the best we ever have had. And we used to live in New Orleans! And when you finish dinner there is romantic seating where you can sit outside and enjoy the new moon over the water. Steve and Lisa the owners,and all of their exceptional staff, will do everything to make you feel like you are family. This place is a rare Gem. We can hardly wait to return.

An AMAZING Italian restaurant. We had the Little Italy, which had a large amount of food with a taste of some of their more popular dishes which are recipes that go back generations. Very authentic food and the owner, Mr. Lillo, making sure that these foods are brought to you in excellence including his award winning pudding bread that was out of this world. And to add to our wonderful experience with this restaurant, beautiful views and the live musician that sang professionally. We just can’t say enough good things about this wonderful restaurant.

The marinara sauce on the spaghetti and homemade sausage was delicious. The chicken Parmesan was tender and the homemade marinara sauce was great. The homemade garlic bread with butter and Parmesan cheese to dip it in was especially delicious. To top it off, there was an entertainer playing a keyboard and singing that added to the ambiance. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and the service was exemplary! Expect to pay fine dining prices, however. Our meal with three glasses of red house wine, two entrees, garlic bread and a shared caprese salad was $135 with the 20% tip. For a special night out, that was okay, but still seemed expensive. We did have leftovers which we enjoyed the next day. So I would say it was worth it!

Was in Pensacola for vacation and decided to find some Italian near the beach. This place had decent review. I should have ran when I got there and saw that it was the restaurant for a Quality Inn. The interior looks like it's from the Three's Company era, but hey, I was here for the food. the wait staff seemed unsteady and nervous, almost like an evil boss was testing them. The food arrived and the gravy (red tomato sauce) smelled almost burnt. It was overwhelmingly acidic. My wife agreed. We choked down what we could and got out of there. I'd rather eat at the Olive Garden.

I was hoping the candle light table was for ambiance but I'm afraid or was so you could not see the food. The chicken marsala was left on the plate and I was hoping that the bread pudding would top off my night but it seemed to be the last fruit cake in the world with rum sauce poured over it. I could not even finish my Old Fashion drink. The waitresses were running around and almost running I to each other. Seems to be under manages and the kitchen is under trained.

Truly a bad experience from the moment we entered till the moment we left.
1. The service was absolutely horrible, why, well after we ordered our food our waiter never came back, for refills or to deliver the check, I had to ask another waiter to bring me the check since my waiter was MIA. Never offered a refill of drinks, desserts, etc. Poor customer service all around.
2. Food, was horrible. Greasy the meat lasagna tasted greasy and old, like grounded beef from a dinosaur.

Sorry, my bad, I trusted the reviews and I shouldn’t.
PS: customer service is as important as what you cook, in this case 🤌mama mĂa đź‘Ž

The only good thing of this place is the view. My wife ordered the spaghetti with eggplant. Eggplant was good. I ordered the spaghetti with meatball. The spaghetti was from a box and the marinara sauce from a can. They only give you one meatball and it was to sour. The waitress was super attentive and the manager was super nice. Ohh. The crab cake is a small patty and not worth it for the price. Forgot to mention, the crab cake is spicy.

The perfect spot for a spectacular evening out. This brand has been a consistent provider of quality Italian food for over 20 yrs in our community. Congrats to Steve & Lisa on your continued success. The sunset views are unmatched anywhere in the Pensacola/ Gulf Breeze area. The atmosphere is romantic and the live background music makes you feel like you are taking a step back in time. Martini's are great, Wine exceptional and food is always amazing. Lisa and Susan elegantly walk throughout to ensure each customer is well cared for. Thank you for all you do to provide this special "piece of heaven" here in the Gulf Breeze community. 10 Stars plus !

Food was expensive and meh. Our pasta was served cold and sauce had an odd taste. They tack on a mandatory 20% tip. We would never return, you can find much better food in the area for this price.

Our expectations were not very high but reading some of the reviews we went for it. Our waiter was excellent. Their take on bruscetta was quite tasty with the Buffalo mozzarella and balsamic. My wife's Alfredo was rich and creamy and had an overload of shrimp. I had a Bella pizza and while I'm not a fan of thin cracker crust the toppings were quite tasty and and there was plenty of them. Since we tend to stay on Gulf Breeze we will add this to our go to places when we can't get reservations at our preferred spots.

Go for the view and pizza. Drinks may be good, but we only drank wine. My friends who split a pizza were happy. I regretted my choice. (It was shrimp with a lemon sauce. I was sick from around one to three AM that night. The shrimp was my third choice as the first two were unavailable at six o'clock.) We skipped appetizers as they did not have our first choice that day. So, we decided to opt. for dessert. Ask for a menu with prices before making your choice! We looked forward to getting dessert and taking some home the next day. I paid $20.00 for one piece of Italian Cream Cake. Unfortunately, the person who ordered that took one bite and said it was dry so it must be quite old! With tip, I paid $180 for four people. Usually, drinks add up, but we only had 3 glasses of house red. Two people split a pizza. I got the shrimp, the 4th person got something in a red sauce. No appetizers, no extra salads. I don't think we got a good value.
Our waitress was good. Our sunset view was beautiful. Two stars instead of one!
This was the Tuesday after Columbus Day Holiday and I can only imagine they were just having an off night. Their reviews were so positive... We saw quite a few people who looked like regulars. Maybe they just know what to order.... It was my first and last time there.

Excellent food with great service. The food was authentic Italian with even a bit of flair by the cook. There was good quantity on all. I had the daily special and yes there was a bunch of shrimp. Nice view from most if the dining room. They also have a military discount. Thanks!

My wife and I had a really nice experience here. Generous portions of old school Italian food. We sat on the screen porch area, watching a beautiful sunset, enjoying good food and wine (they have a good wine list!) I recommend!

Low level fine dining. White tablecloths, beautiful sunsets, full bar, good wine choices and menu choices. A little over moderate pricing. They offer a daily special, around $25. Just the entree, salads are separate. The pasta aglio olio was HEAVY on the garlic. Otherwise good. Bar prices are steep other than happy hour in the afternoons. Owners are authentic and friendly.Usually have a musician as well, which is nice. Not the best atmosphere, but a decent choice for italian food . Generally an older crowd.

My husband and I have “date night” every Wednesday and we take turns choosing restaurants in our area. He loves Italian food and this was his birthday week so I wanted something special. Although there were some unfavorable reviews for Lillo’s , there were many positive ones, so I decided to give it a go. I’m so happy we did! From the time we walked in to the time we left, everything was amazing. The view is stunning and the inside ambiance is very pleasant. Our server Cherie informed us of happy hour specials so I ordered a margarita which was one of the best I’ve had. My husband ordered chicken Parmesan and I ordered the lower carb version which was unbreaded and served with zucchini noodles. Our meals were absolutely delicious and we both ended up bringing some home due to the large portions. Cherie brought my husband a piece of bread pudding for his birthday and it was heavenly. The food is very reasonably priced. We’ll be back often and have already recommended Lillo’s to our friends.
