"A huge disappointment! A friend of ours recommended this place after having a fantastic experience with a great waiter, but it seems like they've changed ownership. The service was terrible, the food lacked flavor, and we felt like outsiders. I’d suggest just staying home and ordering a pizza instead!"

Italia At River City

➤ 127 W Marion Ave, Punta Gorda I-33950-4412, United States

Menu • Vegan • Pasta • Salad • Italian

"I made reservations for a party of 14. We were seated in the private room with 2 other small parties, different server. Our table was setup for 12 people. It took a while for the server to take our drink order. She had other tables in a different section to serve. It took 1 1/2 hour before we got our food. My grandkids were hungry. Two of the personalized pizzas were under cooked and at that point my Grandsons were so hungry that they ate what they could so the rest was garbage. The eggplant Parmigiana had over kill of sauce and the sauce was very sweet. My Chicken picata was salty. Trying to get our server to come refill our drinks was a challenge. When I called to make reservations I asked if I can bring a birthday cake as we were celebrating my Mom's 84th birthday. I was going to cut the cake myself but our server insisted on doing so. I brought my own paper plates and plastic fork so we wouldn't need to use the restaurant. We told our server that the 2 pizzas were undercooked. We get our bill and there was a $10.00 cake cutting fee and only 1 pizza discounted half price. This was supposed to be a positive experience as my Mom was diagnosed with stage 4 glioblastoma and we wanted the family to be together to have a positive experience. $507.65 after and extremely disappointing with the entire experience. Italia will never get my business again. My recommendation to them is to have someone assist the server with large parties..when companies skimp on staff, they lose business."

Mercer's Fresh Roasted Coffee

"I love Mercer’s! The coffee is the best I’ve found in the area. The owner and staff are friendly and efficient. Not many coffee shops have a 32 oz option, but Mercer’s does and it’s my go-to every time. I recommend Mercer’s to anyone living in the area or visiting!"

Carmelo's Italian

➤ 321 West Retta Esplanade, Punta Gorda, 33950, United States Of America

Menu • Cafés • Steak • Pasta • Italian

"First time eating here. The restaurant is beautiful has outdoor dining. You feel like you're in Italy. The food is beyond what one could imagine. Pasta is fresh, portions are substantial, and if you had room for desert, be prepared to have your mind blown. The meals come with soup or salad. I had the pasta fagiol. It wasn't a little cup but rather a bowl of happiness. One of the best I've ever had. The prices are so reasonable for what you get that it's a wonder how they do it. We will, without a doubt, be back. Outstanding!"

The Ice House Pub

➤ 408 Tamiami Trail North, Punta Gorda, United States Of America

Menu • Pub • Wine • Pubs • British

"This charming English pub is beautifully decorated and features 10 competition-style dartboards. The venue has three distinct areas: an outdoor covered terrace with its own bar, a main dining area with a bar, and a spacious dart room. We ordered fish and chips and opted to upgrade to cod for a small additional charge. The fish was a lovely, firm white variety that was incredibly moist and perfectly battered. Our waitress was attentive, ensuring our drinks were always refilled and that we were enjoying our meals. I opted for Smithwick’s—a large Irish red ale that’s hard to come by, but I find it to be exceptionally smooth and enjoyable."

Pioneers Pizza

➤ 4560 Tamiami Trail, Port Charlotte, United States

Menu • Pizza • Cheese • Italian • Fast Food

"Since Pioneers Pizza is far from our house, we haven't bought from them often. But today we had an errand in that direction, so we took advantage to swing by for a pie to go, for dinner. We had tried places closer to home, but to no avail one place in particular seemed to limit the toppings to one speck of each topping on the pie! (I exaggerate...but not by much! Pioneers, on the other hand, distributed plenty of each topping all around the pie. To me, especially compared to the other place I mentioned, this made Pioneers a notably good value. Everything was fresh and tasty, thoroughly enjoyable. The only drawback is the difficulty parking there during busy times, but we found a spot the second time through. Worth a little inconvenience!"
