Neat little restaurant on South Beach Street in Daytona. The service was very friendly and efficient and we actually had some great entertainment while sitting outside. The food was rather good including the apps, mains, and wonderful desserts. The drinks were also very reasonable.

Let me start by saying that it’s been 2 weeks since we ate here and I am still thinking about how great Little Italy’s food is. Chef Mario and his team are phenomenal! Our friends had their post wedding celebration dinner here and if you want delicious, homemade Italian food and great friendly service, look no further. As an Italian, it’s hard to find an authentic Italian restaurant and man were my heart and belly thrilled with the many dishes that Chef Mario prepared for us. I left the restaurant feeling like I’d just had dinner at my Nona’s house! They are so kind and genuinely care about the people they are feeding that you feel like family at the end of your dining experience. Best feeling in the world. I highly recommend ordering dessert. I promise you that it’s worth finding the room in your tummy or taking home for a sweet treat later! I’m not a local, but it definitely makes me want to move to Daytona just so I can become a regular of Little Italy’s Ristorante. Perfetto!

Little Italy is an absolute gem! From the moment we walked in, the authenticity of the restaurant shone through. The atmosphere felt like a cozy slice of Italy, and the customer service was top-notch — attentive, friendly, and truly made us feel like family. Every bite of the food was delicious and bursting with flavor. You can tell the ingredients are fresh and the recipes are crafted with love. Whether you’re craving pasta, pizza, or any Italian classic, Little Italy will exceed your expectations. Highly recommend for anyone seeking an authentic Italian dining experience!

Amazing service and food! I wouldn’t mind driving 45 minutes again to enjoy the delicious dishes this restaurant offers. The chef and the family who own the place are incredibly friendly and welcoming. They made me and my family feel like we were having a truly special experience. From now on, this has become my favorite Italian restaurant!

We were greeted by Mario. Co owner and chef at the Ristorante. Asked us to stop by so he could make us a pizza. We had the best experience. Atmosphere, people, food! We would have been upset visiting another pizza/Italian ristorante. So many dishes to choose from. So many great people around laughing and enjoying their day!!

The food is fantastic! I had a chef special that included mashed potatoes, mushrooms, filet mignon, and lobster with Gorgonzola cream sauce! It was amazing!! I also highly recommend the focaccia bread and the tiramisu martini. The staff were so friendly and the chef came out to describe his special. It was not too busy, so I think that allowed him time.

Excellent place to dine in and have great Italian food; pizza and pasta, with friends and family. Also, to have some drinks and enjoy a good time. The place has a great ambience and good service. Street parking available.

10 out of 10. Amazing food, awesome service, and great drinks. Chef Mario came out and spoke to our tables and told us the important history of the dishes he creates. Nicole went above and beyond to serve our large party and we feel like both of them are a part of our family now. Don’t sleep on this restaurant! Pasta was on point and desserts were to die for. We will definitely be back
