Stopped in here after getting a reservation at a nearby wine bar/restaurant and having terrible service and walking out. It was lovely and quiet and we were seated immediately even though it was a holiday week. Service and food were all excellent. Highly recommend.

We got large pepperoni and while it was very tasty - it was dripping w/ oil from the pepperoni and cheese. Also, they were OUT of pepperoni rolls - which makes me believe they must buy them premade/frozen? That is disappointing. The place is small but we got a table right away - there is one co-ed bathroom.Friendly service.There is

It was a rainy evening and we werenât feeling like going out. They were the only pizza place around that would deliver. They brought it straight to our hotel room. The delivery was super fast and the pizza was still hot. The pizza was loaded with toppings and had good crust. Little one the pricey side for pizza in my opinion. $20 for a medium.

Our concept is simple--we use only the freshest ingredients, highest quality of products, but most importantly is the love that goes into each and every one of our dishes! We make our pizza dough from scratch, our sauce from San Marzano plum tomatoes.

At the beach with two families and we have one child with Celiac disease. Finding a spot that can accommodate Gluten Allergy and be be a crowd pleaser to others. Staff totally knows their stuff. GF pizza was delicious. Normal pizza was delicious. Wine was reasonably priced. Great service.

We made a reservation and arrived about 10 minutes early - we were asked to wait and in that time they seated 3 walk-ins. It was billed as casual but we certainly didnt expect a Sports Bar. It was loud with blaring TVs with Saturday college football. The dining music was so loud we found ourselves straining to hear each other. Our server was polite and very casual/familiar. The menu was varied with very brief descriptions and only when we asked about the offerings were they described completely. Our appetizer of Calamari was beautiful but the flavor killed by very piquant red peppers. Stuffed mushrooms were very good. Our Tri Color Salad was good but rather formula. The Lasagna entree was dense and rather dry and required all of the pool of sauce it was served with.The Linguini with Great neck Clams was good but the clams were heavily breaded leaving little texture of the clams. We finished our meal with a shared slice of cheese cake that was a reminder of our meal in New Orleans when BAM! was the word in Emerils food. The decore is lovely, staff cordial and plesantly attentive and the open concept kitchen is fun but loud very causual upscale dining is not much more than a shiny sports bar with very over priced pizza and pasta.

A small quaint restaurant well deserving of the reviews. Food and service was great. Actually, the food was exceptional. We arrived shortly after they opened and were fortunate to be seated without a reservation. We ate out every night at all the great restaurants and this was our favorite. You will not be disappointed.

My husband and I dined here on a Friday evening around 5:00. We didn't have to wait for a table and we enjoyed the Happy Hour drink specials. We didn't have any starters, but the meal came with soup or salad. We both chose the salads. I had the Chicken Arugula and my husband had the Chicken Marsala both came with a side of your choice, and we chose the pasta. The food was excellent and the portions quite generous for the price. Our server, Amelia, was efficient and helpful. As we were leaving after 6:00, the restaurant had begun to fill up, so I would recommend going early or make a reservation.

We ordered the pizza online. They had an outdoor window for to-go/pick-up orders. The pizza had the nice, light brick oven char on the bottom, fresh ingredients and the cheeses were amazing. The calzone was perfectly cooked and you could tell that they used fresh ingredients and cheeses. We will definitely add this to our list of favs at the beach.

The pizza was not very good and tasted like the dough had been overworked. It was overcooked on the outside and still soggy under the cheese and sauce. Overall it was disappointing, but they deliver and we were hungry so I couldâve given it a higher rating if the pizza was cooked properly. We may try again next time weâre in Sandestin but weâre not in a rush to visit or order again from Robertoâs.
