" Bonelli's Italian restaurant is a cozy place that felt just right for a casual dinner. While the food was decent, it didn't quite live up to the hype I had high hopes for. I found the sauce used in my dish overwhelming. On the bright side, the ambiance was nice, and the service was friendly. I wouldn’t say I’d return specifically for the food, but it’s not awful either if you’re in the area and looking for Italian. " (*Curated Review*)

" Attending dinner at Bonelli’s was a delightful experience. The wait staff was charming and attentive. The ambiance really stood out—small and intimate, perfect for a romantic evening. I opted for the special, which was fresh seafood pasta—so flavorful! However, I must note that service was a bit slow; I understand that made-to-order meals take time, but it did affect our evening slightly. Overall, a solid option when craving Italian. Just be prepared for the wait! " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant has potential, but my experience fell flat. The food took quite some time to arrive, and while it was decent, it just didn’t live up to my expectations based on the reviews. The friendly service was a highlight, which I appreciated greatly. If timing isn’t an issue for you and you prefer cozy places, it might be worth a visit for others, but I need a bit more consistency to become a regular. " (*Curated Review*)

" A must-visit for anyone in Pensacola! Whether you’re craving traditional Italian dishes or looking to try something unique, Bonelli's has it all. The service is friendly, and the restaurant has a beautiful, welcoming atmosphere. I particularly liked their vegetarian options, which were flavorful and well-prepared. Reservations are definitely needed as it gets packed quickly. Overall, I was very pleased and would likely return again. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Bonelli's recently, and it was a mixed experience. While the pasta was cooked perfectly, I felt that the overall atmosphere was a bit cramped, especially on a busy night. It took a while to get seated, even with a reservation, which was disappointing. The food itself was good, but I've had better Italian meals elsewhere. I appreciated the flavors, but I wish the portions were more generous. I'm unsure if I'd return. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’m disappointed to say that my experience at Bonelli's didn’t meet my expectations. The service was great, but my entree was bland and lacked the richness I usually love in Italian cuisine. My dining partner enjoyed her dish more, but overall, I left unsatisfied. The atmosphere was nicely designed, very cozy, but I expected more from the food based on previous reviews. I may give it another try but I'm hesitant. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you’re after a dining experience that merges comfort and quality, you should visit Bonelli's. What stood out to me was the genuine warmth from the staff and the welcoming environment. The bruschetta was a delightful starter, and I opted for the carbonara—such a classic! It was creamy and satisfying, though I'd say the portion was slightly smaller than I anticipated. Overall, a good experience that I would likely repeat. " (*Curated Review*)
