Lil' Pesce's Italian and Seafood Restaurant: A Hidden Gem in Alford, FL

If you blink your eyes, you will miss this DIME of a restaurant! We live about 15 minutes away and travel through this area good bit and never even knew this place existed! We were craving Pizza for dinner and we didn't want fast food pizza! I googled and found this place and viewed their menu and reviews and we decided to take a chance and ordered two pizzas for takeout! Wow, is all I can say! We were amazed at the quality and quantity of the pizzas and they are so delicious and on point in flavor! We have now ordered from them about 4 times and look forward to going there for dinner one night! They have a variety of Italian dishes and specialize in Seafood pasta dishes! This was a win/win for us! Check them out if you are ever in the area or just passing through! You won't be disappointed! Oh, and the staff are amazing and kind!

Um... We were excited to try our local little Italian place. We do realize seafood appears to be their specialty, but an Italian place should be able to name spaghetti and meatballs and a chicken Alfredo, or else don't put it on the menu. My meatballs I literally couldn't eat them. I think they were homemade, and that's awesome. But they must've gone bad there was a sour flavor to them that made me gag. I had to put my third bite in a napkin. my marinara was definitely from a jar it was so watery. My husband's chicken already seemed like it was homemade but the chicken had no seasoning it was just a cheese sauce. Everything was covered in garlic. It's 16 hours later and we're still smelling garlic. The bruschetta special, delicious! The canoli, delicious! The garlic bread, delicious! With lots of garlic. The Caesar salad was covered in garlic and I wanted more salad but couldn't eat it because it was burning my mouth it was so strong. We ordered a pizza to go, well try that today. Lots of people were ordering pizzas and seafood, maybe that was our mistake! Oh why did an employee look at us, and walk away when we entered? We stood there looking around do we seat ourselves or what do we do? The employee just sat there, looked at us, and then disappeared to the back and we waited for 5 minutes for someone to tell us what to do.

This restaurant was an unexpected delight. We were planning on eating somewhere closer to our hotel and we found out the restaurant we planned to go to, was closed. Thumbing through Google, we thought Italian sounded good so off we went. We had a pizza which was delicious and we were served a basket of garlic bread. We were delighted our previous plans didn't work out which led us to this place. We highly recommend this restaurant and we think it was worth the drive.

Excellent food and service. The chef here cooks with purpose and passion. Little town but big city food. This place is a gem that makes you feel you are in Italy and not a small town off 231. Must try if you like Italian.

What an incredible gem!!! I have dined in some of the most well known restaurants in the biggest cities in America where you expect an excellent meal but to find such a gem in a remote setting in the Panhandle of Florida was indeed a pleasure. The level of authentic Italian fine dining rivaled some if the best meals I have enjoyed in NYC, Chicago, San Francisco and was even reminiscent of Venice, Italy!

If you like hole-in-the-wall type places with good food and great service then this is a perfect spot! The dishes are pretty good for such a small place. Pizza is great. Canoli’s are to die for. I have them cook the pizza a little longer to get a nice crunchy crust (my preference)

Beautiful atmosphere! Fast, Friendly Service, Home style / lovers setting... It's worth 13 Stars.

A hole in the wall italian restaurant that has some amazing cheesy garlic bread and eggplant Parmigiano. We also ordered white pizza and Spagetti and meatballs that were also tasty.
