Cabi Style with Leza
Live music & the Market in Vilano were added fun to dinner. Casual and quick. We received our food fast and just had to remind the waitress for refilled drinks. We did see some patrons leave because their food never came, so I will just remind the waitress often.
Limited beer on draft. Sangria was okay. Pizzas were a meat lovers and a margarita pizza, both perfectly cooked. Cheese was so fresh. Crust is thin, light at super good. Caesar salad was large and fed everyone at the table a nice size (5) check the picture. Recommend for a beach feel and causal to eat. Lots of young kids so just keep reminding them about drinks and food. But definitely recommend.

A must stop in your visits to St. Augustine/Vilano Beach adventures! Worthy of the famous Portnoy "One Bite" review, would be a high ranking for sure.
Visited both for lunch and then take out the next day. The establishment is small, but has adequate seating and room for patrons, clean restrooms, and very kid friendly, high Chairs, ect.. Live music on occasion.
John and Dan and the additional servers were excellent advocates of the restaurant and met all of our needs. Orders were taken promptly, food arrived in short order, and flavors were spot on.
Salad was not only good to look at, it was a perfect mix.
Pizza was on point, somewhat of a NY style. Good crust, cheese and sauce mix. Great taste!
Prices were a great value for area.
Bottom line, a must visit you won't be disappointed!

Small but quaint pizzeria. Very good pizza pie. Several to choose from and the large is really LARGE. Meat lovers and a frozen Pina colada make for a really cool way to beat the heat. Our server was very friendly and helpful.

This place was great! Food was really good. Drew at the bar and rest of the staff was great. Greek pizza was delicious and they had live music on the patio. Highly recommend!!!

Great local spot. Great drink menu and full liquor bar with a rotation of seasonal drinks. Pizza was great! The chefs deluxe and the BBQ chicken were my favorite. Live music on the weekends! Don’t miss out on a local spot with friendly servers and staff.

After being snubbed for service down the street, we popped in here to fill the tummy void.
Tatiana was very prompt, courteous, and helpful.
Amazing brick fired Za (as we call it).
Chicken Bacon Ranch amd Meat Lovers were made to perfection. Nice touch brushing the outer crust with garlic oil too.
Draft beers were cold and refreshing (Stella for me and an Islamorada Ale for me).
Don't waste your time at that place out by the pier. Bring your butt in here and enjoy!

Called in my order at 7:14 and was told a 30-35 min wait for pizza. When we arrived, and paid, they then said it would be another 25-30 min. That would have been nice to know before we paid... They offered a free appetizer, so we ordered the calamari and some water and waited. The calamari was the worst I've ever tasted. Tasteless. After an hour of waiting I went up again and asked about the status and was told it takes an hour and half for pizza orders. That's not what they told me originally, but apparently they had lots of big orders. While waiting we saw several people leaving with 8-12 pizzas. She said our Pizza was coming right out, yet it still took another 10min. Pizza finally came 70 min after ordering. Quite disappointing. Kids were hungry and we had plans to be at. I would just appreciate some honesty with the times. The pizza was delicious and they got the order right.

All the way from Massachusetts, best pizza I've had ever! Great chicken wings! Would recommend to anyone to come here. Staff is great very attentive.

Dont go ! Sat inside ,,,small space extremely noisy,,,staff yelling and screaming,,,wait staff young lady seemed like she wanted to be anywhere else but there,,,sausage sandwich was boiling hot and sauce was nasty tasting and like water. No refills on drinks and had to finally get up to pay bill at counter. I don't think outside would have been better except maybe quieter.

Great staff, very attentive and a joy to be around. The salsa music on the patio was awesome and the food was fabulous. Thanks for everything.
Jessie Ortega
Great staff. Waitress. Pizza guy was super friendly usually pizza makers aren't. Food and drinks were amazing. Super friendly place
David Benson
Good food, ok wait staff, good live band. Waited for a while to get a drink, and again waited just to pay the bill. Wait staff should be more attentive. Other than that, it was a good atmosphere.
Danny Shaffer
We stopped by and had pizza and wings just the other night. Good overall experience. Wings had a little different taste than what we are accustomed to up north but good. Pizza was pretty awesome. Friendly and courteous wait staff.

We ate here twice during vacation. First visit we ordered the chicken bacon ranch pizza.... it’s GOOD fam. All week we kept trying to find another reason to go and finally caved and visited our last day we were there. We couldn’t stop talking about the fries either. Altogether each visit was great. Amazing food, friendly staff, clean, and any time we needed assistance everyone was more than happy to help. Thank you all for your hard work and I’ll definitely be talking this place up�

Wendelyn Ríos López
Love going to St. Augustine because of the friendly ambiance and friendly people, but not the case with this place, the food is not even that good, the service is really poor, didn’t even knew the name of the girl who was supposed to take care of our table, because she never introduced herself, the beer was warm we told her and she didn’t even ask if we wanted something else or at least get us a new one, she never checked on us while we waited a long time for our food, we had to ask her for the plates and the silverware, never saw a smile not even a grin on her face, which is very disappointing because the girl taking care of the table in front of us was obviously amazing with her customers and kept smiling at us too. We definitely prefer spending our money somewhere else. We’ve been to many amazing restaurants around that area and that was the first and last visit for us to this one. Not worth the money or the wait at all.

This pizza is so good it’s worth driving for...and we live in Jacksonville!!!
Heather Laughlin
We had great pizza � with the most fabulous, bubbly service ever from Emily!! We will return. Thank you!!!!
Jon Childers
Pizza and salad was good, home style crust, lots of cheese!! The Caesar dressing tasted like it was made in house. No complaints here! Plus, the scenery was amazing!!! 😉
J Elz Berry
Very good pizza! Crispy thicker thin crust. We had the deluxe and the toppings were yummy.
Christine Speran Sabo
Never pass this gem by when in the Vilano Beach area! Love that Jersey style pizza! Dave and the rest of the Puccini's crew are amazing!
Lance Damron
Excellent meat pizza... service was constantly keeping our glasses full.
Vanessa Purvis
When my husband and I come to Vilano. We always eat at Puccini's. Love the pizza, salad. Great service and atmosphere. Friendly people. Highly recommend it. Been eating there for awhile.Great location
Jon Nichols
1st Times a Charm. Wow! From the setting to the Service to the food. What a great restaurant. Yvonne was great. Friendly, helpful, and a pretty smile, the ceaser salad and the Chefs Special Pizza, the New York style is yummy. Try it, you will not be disappointed.
Missouri Nana
Love this place. Great food. Great prices. Here with Korean Vets reunion and they have treated us exceptionally!!

So far, so good. I've only been here once, on the afternoon of July 4th. They were packed, but my pizza was out in 25 - 30 minutes. I've eaten at a couple of other local pizzerias and so far Puccini's is the best. A small $12 pie was just a little more than the two of us could finish. I'll definitely be back.
Rose Hampton
Very poor, slow service. Lack of service at all actually. Would only go if you have a couple hours to spare an you're very patient.

Great Pizza,service is worst ever. We eat from there once or twice a week mostly, and the pizza and sandwiches are great, the people that work there are some of the most inept that I have ever seen, the order comes wrong 1/2 the time or its cold, and they dont seem to know how to use their credit card machine, it really is sad cause their food is good when the people making it give a crap about it.
Carolyn Wallace Smeggil
Good food, nice staff and it is nice inside. Ingredients are fresh and tasty. We love it and will be back again.

Not Good. Tried the place and was really disappointed with the pizzas, very oily and tasted pretty bad. Save your money and get Pappa Johns. Business open in Vilano and think that the locals will visit just for being there,...not the locals have too many other choices to eat at low quality restaurants. The staff seems totally inexperienced and uninterested in the patrons. I hope a REAL Italian restaurant opens in Vilano. You speak to locals and they all seem to share a similar experience.
Carrie Verde
Just had a really nice meal at Puccini's Pizza in Vilano beach. Great draft beers and entree selections other than pizza. THE PIZZA IS AMAZING! So glad that there is another great, leisurely dining option on Vilano Beach (and that these guys have free delivery!)

Wait an hour for an expensive Pizza. We have given this place 1 too many tries. Every time we leave feeling ripped off and leave with a bad impression. Twice our order took more than 1 hour to get. This last time we came in 10 min before 2 for 1 happy hour was over and was told it was over. Order was messed up, waitress came by and said something about a printer not placing our order in. Didn't even offer a free drink or appitizer. We were about to walk out and finally they brought us our order. Food is not bad but save your money and go get a steak or seafood dinner down the road and at least get decent service.

I am a HUGE fan of Italian food! I enjoy it almost as much as I enjoy a burger, so when I was visiting my dad recently we were trying to figure out a nice place to eat. I mentioned Italian food and he recommended we try Puccini's Pizzeria. He lives on Vilano Beach in St. Augustine and this restaurant is the only Italian joint around so we figured why not give it a shot. The atmosphere was quite nice. There was live music outside and it was not too loud and added some good ambiance to the restaurant. They have the menu items that would expect from your average pizzeria, Pizza, Subs, Calzones, and a range of different Pastas. I ended up going with the medium size Calzone, and let me tell you there is nothing medium about this thing! It took up my entire plate and was more than I could personally eat myself. You can add toppings to the inside of it. I would usually go for toppings such as bacon, pepperoni, or sausage but I decided to try something new and ordered it with eggplant on the inside. This is where my only complaint with this place comes. For some reason I was expecting some sort of breaded eggplant or seasoned eggplant but it was literally just cut up pieces of eggplant in my Calzone. It didn't have any flavor and actually took away from what could have been a great Calzone. But besides this one small detail the Calzone was ok. Luckily the size of the Calzone made up for the lack of flavor. Conclusion: Puccini's is a "meh" Italian place. It's worth a try if you're in the area and craving some Italian food, but don't expect much. It's a chain restaurant so don't expect it to blow you away with new flavors either. If you're looking for something new and exciting then this isn't the place to go. There's a Carabas about 20 min away. Rating: Taste - 5/10 Freshness - 5/10 Price - $$/$$$$$
