Great food, very nice staff, good atmosphere. I had the chicken Alfredo and some of the garlic knots. We watched them make the garlic knots in front of us and wood fire them. All of it was very good, the Alfredo was different from others I’ve had as it’s generally my go to which follows and supports the “homemade” claim all over their menu. The calzone was absolutely massive, wood fired and we could watch them make it right in front of us, very cheesy but didn’t feel like anything was cheaper out on. Everyone seemed don’t to earth and having a great time. I will be back to try more on the menu!
We had a meal at Clemenza's, an Italian restaurant located in Uptown, and let me tell you, it's really something special. We've been going there for quite a few years now, and it's consistently fantastic. The folks working there really know what they're doing and are super friendly – a great combo.
Now, let's talk about the food, it's always fresh and the vibe in the place is also really nice, sets the scene for a good meal.
On Thursdays, they serve up this amazing breaded Ribeye. Trust me, it's so good that it's worth the trip all by itself. Their desserts are also incredible! To sum it up, we're big fans of Clemenza's and we're definitely planning on going back real soon for more of their tasty stuff.
We always enjoy coming here as it just feels like home! I love going for lunch and ordering the Hot Italian with a side salad as it is always perfect! It always has a great atmosphere and a great place for a business lunch! The dinner menu is full of great options for everyone in the family. Don't leave without getting the Tiramisu! We love all of the team there as Maggie has a great group of people working there. This is a great local spot and a must for anyone visiting our Emerald Coast.
Wonderful atmosphere and great service. My husband ordered a margarita pizza. Delicious! I had the house salad and shared pesto gnocchi with our son. All of the food was super delicious and so fresh.
Great Italian restaurant in town. They have vegetarian options as well. We tried their pesto gnoochi. They serve good portions.
You know the feeling when you take the first bite of your favorite dish? That is exactly how EACH and EVERY BITE of our meal was at Clemenza's.
This was our first time, after many local recommendations. It was STELLAR! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐+
The best staff ever. I can't tell you enough how good this place is and how long I got to find it out. The food is perfect. Everyone is so amazing from the bartender to the waitress. Big shout out to Crystal and Glen that made our experience way more magic. I wish everbody could come here and have the experie
We went there for a lunch with the office, we had the back room to ourselves as there were close to 30 of us. Staff was very friendly and polite. Good service but food did take a bit to come out, so not a place to go if you're in a hurry. When the food did come out though, it was extremely delicious. Their calzones are huge! Their calamari was very good, very close to being as good as Carrabbas. Their red-orange vodka sauce was very good, but the pasta itself was on the cooler side and the grilled chicken was just alright. I will absolutely go here again because I have to try that calzone!
The wait without a reservation was just under an hour, but the bar was open. The food was excellent, especially house-made sauces. As they were slammed, the service was hit and miss. Highly recommend a reservation.
Excellent food and service! We were sat quickly and the server Jasmine was at the table shortly after. Our order was taken and fresh sour dough bread was brought to the table. We did not have to wait long for our wood fired pizzas to arrive. We were having a bit of trouble with our baby, she did not want to settle down after the pizza was brought to the table. Our server Jasmine went above and beyond. With our permission she picked up our baby and took her on a tour of the restaurant. That “tour” gave us a chance to eat. The pizza was really good. We will be back to dine again. Thank you Jasmine for all of your help!
This restaurant is amamzing from the fine decor to the service. The food is very good.The taste of the sauce and ingredients is like nothing I ever tried before Definitely recomend.
Arrived with a party of 12, and had a great time. We were a confusing table with all the orders and drinks but the waitress did great. The food was wonderful, the service excellent. If you have wheels, I think you would be fine here. Highly recommend.
Excellent food, nice atmosphere. My only complaint was that we wanted to order to go and could not get an answer on the phone, nor any way to order online. However, I spoke with the owner when I went in person and ordered to-go, and she explained they wish they could offer online ordering, but they are so busy all the time, short staffed as everyone is, and they didn't want to disappoint people, but would not be able to handle the additional orders and still put out quality food. Same reason as to why they didn't answer their phone. While I understand that, I do still think they should answer, if only to say they aren't accepting to-go orders. People might be calling for other reasons. All that said, the food was Wirth the drive, excellent Italian food. I've only found 1 other Italian restaurant worth going to in this town, now I have 2. I'd suggest making a reservation at Clemenza's. They are that busy.
We ordered the antipasto appetizer, chicken parmesan, and chicken picata. Fantastic food with generous portions. We had tiramisu with espresso with a lemon twist and sambuca. Wow! What a wonderful birthday dinner. Bob was our waiter, and he was eager to please and knew when to stop by the table. PERFECTION!
Food was average. Many members of our party had overcooked and undercooked food. The appetizer, fried calamari, was so overcooked it was hard and inedible. two different entrees were undercooked and sent back to finish cooking. However, the Chicken Parmesan I had was cooked to perfection and virtually melted in my mouth. The pasta that came with it was al dente, which was a little underdone and heavy for me. Deserts were all wonderful. As far as the service, the lady serving our table was pleasant and did check on us throughout the service, but the best server was the girl who kept everyone’s drink glass full. She was outstanding. The drawback to service was the wait time to get our food and we were not given commentary bread upon sitting down. Eventually we asked if we were supposed to get some and was told yes, where by the staff hurriedly brought some out for the table. Overall, the experience was good, but the food was average for the price we paid.
I didn't want to eat here because, honestly, it looked a little hokey from the outside. Mad at myself that I didn't eat here sooner. This place is so good I'd pay for the free bread. Very traditional Italian food. Paulo is the best.
