Eataliano Panini & Gelato Bar — Restaurant in Tequesta

I was in the area for work and saw this place. After looking over their menu, I noticed they had a dish I like (chicken sorrentina). Unfortunately they only had it on their dinner menu. I live an hour away and after a few weeks I came down with my wife for dinner. They had some outside seating and we went inside to be seated. They had about 5 empty tables and we were asked if we had reservations to which we responded that we did not. They were nice enough to seat us, but we got the small two seater table with little room on the table. Nothing seemed appealing for appetizers so we went straight for the entrees. My wife had the chicken marsala and I had the chicken sorrentina. Both dishes were disappointing. The portions for the price were small and the taste was bland. I was also expecting the chicken & eggplant for my dish to be breaded as that is how I’ve had this dish in the past. The vegetable medley that our dishes came with were the only thing that tasted good. We were offered desserts and the waitress pointed out the apple strudel in the dessert window which looked very appealing so we ordered it along with the lemoncello cake for my wife. The apple strudel came out with a small slice of the strudel rather than the whole strudel the waitress showed me. The taste was good, but such a small portion for $11 was ridiculous. My wife’s lemoncello cake also came out frozen. I’m sad to say that this place is overpriced for the food quality and food portions. I don’t see myself returning...

Love, love, love this place. I come from up north, Connecticut/New York area and its hard to find great food in Florida. No matter if its simple or high end. Don't get me wrong, I have found a few places but she top notch. Her meatballs are to die for. She also have salads. Don't be scared to ask if you want it to be different because they will do as you like as long as they have what is requested. I've been coming here now for a year and every time I go its a great experience. Oh, lets not forget their desserts and gelato. The'll mix a few flavours for you. The chocolate and coconut mixed taste like an almond bar, yum!!!! When you go, go with time because everything takes time to come out. The bread is so hot. Just go, you won't regret it. Ask for Maria the owner. She will treat you...

Amazing!

We never stopped in because we just thought it was the sandwich shop, so we decided to pop in and see what they had… it’s a full on Italian restaurant with some of the best Italian food we’ve had in the area. My wife ordered pasta with langoustines, and it was amazing. I had ravioli with meatballs added, also delicious. The simplicity of the ingredients here reminds me of the food in Italy, compared to the overly seasoned food you typically get at Italian restaurants in America.

Also, they have tremendous cannolis, just original flavor,...
