Enza's Italian - Jacksonville

We absolutely adore Enza's for its delicious food and welcoming service. The recent move to a larger, beautifully decorated space in the same shopping center has only made us love them more. If you're looking for pasta without egg, simply ask for one of their meatless, cheeseless options or request a special dish like penne with olive oil, garlic, and green and black olives. The new location now includes a full bar and is stunningly designed. Vegans, remember to decline the garlic bread when you are seated, as it is served automatically. The non-pasta vegetable dishes are also fantastic, such as the vegetable platter or spinach and garlic. However, be prepared for crowds since the move and television advertisements have made the restaurant quite popular, even on weeknights. Despite the wait, the experience is well worth it. Reservations are accepted for parties of three or more.

The service at this restaurant was awful. It took a long time for our dinner to arrive, and the food was absolutely terrible. We ordered a simple pasta dish with vegetables and marinara sauce, but somehow they managed to mess it up. The vegetables were overcooked, making the meal even worse, and the marinara sauce tasted like it was made with just garlic powder and hot pepper. It was disgusting. This place is not suitable for vegans, or anyone for that matter. They do not cater to vegans at all and overall it was just a horrible dining experience.

Enzas is a nostalgic dining experience, with friendly staff (Ida and April are our favorites) and excellent service. The soothing piano music adds to the ambiance, and the food never disappoints. It's wise to make a reservation as the restaurant is always busy. I appreciate that they offer gluten-free options, such as penne with marinara sauce. The house special of scallops, artichoke, spinach, and garlic was exceptional. I highly recommend Enzas and hope you have a wonderful dining experience like we always do!

I ordered stuffed manicotti. The sauce was bland, ricotta was also bland and very dry. The side salad was the best part of the meal. Everything was much better the last time we were there. Service at the bar, where we sat for dinner, was amazing.

Great place to be with friends and have good food and drink
