Truly one of the best dining experiences I have had the pleasure to experience. We waited about 10 mins for a table on a Friday night without a reservation. The food was excellent, service was quick and the restaurant itself had a great ambiance. The wood fired pizza was excellent, we ordered a Margarita and a Truffle/Shrimp pizza and both were perfection. Outside eating area was packed but intimate at the same time. Would recommend to anyone looking for a nice Italian meal.

Ohhhhh the mozzarella - take me back! We love this place and visit every time we're in Key West. Excellent food, service, and the patio is a lovely place to people-watch. Happy hour is amazing, give the sangria a try!

Great spot for dinner - sit at the bar by the open kitchen to watch the grill master work his magic. We got the Tropicana pizza and it was spicy!

Came for the pizza and weren't disappointed; thin crust with good chew and lovely teeny, tiny chopped tomato base to the mozzarella topped pizza. I read that they make their own mozzarella! The wood burning stove seemed to take less than a minute to cook the pizza. Also had a chopped fennel salad with oranges, pistachios, and radishes. The dressing could have used a bit more acid and definitely needs the fennel to be chopped up more. Still, not disappointing. The wait staff was lovely and considerate. The music was dreadful, but it was part of a special event going on that week in Key West. The young woman who waited on us agreed - - it was giving her a headache, but she couldn't complain because the manager said it suited the theme for the events going on. She was quite cute about it all. There is outside seating that I would've preferred, but it smelled kind of fishy. Literally, like bad fish. When we left after eating, the smell wasn't there. I don't know what that was about. I would definitely return for their pizza.

While looking for a great dinner and pizza place in Key West we stumbled upon Onlywood Grill. They have two locations. The small one is where they started. And the story goes that their lines were so long at that little place, that they later acquired the larger location. We dined at the newest and larger location and the atmosphere was beautiful. They have an outdoor sitting as well. Our waiter Alfonso was so tentative and friendly we felt like we've known him for years. For appetizers we ordered the octopus. We usually have doubts about ordering octopus because most places give you a very small portion and charge a lot. But when we got it, it didn't disappoint. It was fresh and the sauce was divine with it. My husband ordered pepperoni pizza which was delicious. Authentic wood grilled pizza. The dough was crunchy and soft. Simply a heck of a good pizza. I ordered a side salad with the appetizer wings. Wow, you must try those wings. Best I have ever eaten. The spices and their sauce... outstanding! We loved it so much that we returned the next night to have our 39 year anniversary dinner. My husband ordered the surf & turf and I ordered the two lobster tail dinner. We also shared a mushroom risotto. Alfonso (we got the same table again, and our waiter :), already knew what my husband wanted for drinks. And we felt again, the great 5-star service. Overall, we will definitely be back to try additional menu items when we are back in the Keys. Cheers to another great restaurant experience!!

An enjoyable Italian grill sitting near the marina with generous menu options and variety. We had some spacious indoor seating, and despite being next to the bar, it still felt somewhat intimate with the ambiance. It's not upscale romantic, but casual and dim altogether. The mozzarella fritta I started with was pretty generous in portion, almost the size of my entree. The gentle, crusty exterior gave each bite of the gooey mozzarella some excellent texture. Mozzarella was melted in such a way to retain enough fat and moisture to keep the mozzarella tasting fresh. A pretty good start. I ended with the Gnocchi Alla Bolognese. The three meats courted the homemade gnocchi's soft, absorbent texture, and had a hearty pork, veal, and beef flavor in each bite. Others in my party had a pork chop that was enjoyable, but one was also undercooked. The kitchen heated up the pork chop again, but it wasn't enough to fix it. HOWEVER, the staff was courteous enough to discount it kindly. The staff was great and offered recommendations and alternatives, and along with the pork chop issue they were very accommodating. We didn't wait long for the service or food. I had one of their cocktails, but like many cocktails in this city I found it to be lacking in alcohol content and tasted like I was drinking juice. It wasn't a terrible cocktail, but I wouldn't pay a cocktail price to drink juice. All together, it was not a bad experience. My meal was actually quite enjoyable and the staff was great. I'd most likely go again.
