Virgilio's

Wow! We stumbled into this place and were very pleasantly impressed… the bartender was great, live music was awesome and the espresso martinis were incredible!! Not to mention they were enormous and you got an extra one each time in a fishbowl on ice . Can’t wait to come back. Thank you!!

We visit Key West 2-3 times a year,and Virgilio’s is a must every time. Yes, Martini Mondays are great, but dining any day they are open is simply the best Italian on the island!

Bday party at the bar section. Side entrance. Great atmosphere

Key West is Key West, the extraordinary atmosphere and the opportunity to eat classic dishes with snails is a paradise for me. Other dishes as well, affordable prices. I highly recommend!

We went dancing on Thursday Latin Night and it was so much fun. The drinks were descent but the music made it worth it. Lots of people came out to dance.

Poor service - Once great going downhill Add this to another place going downhill on Duval Street. We have been eating here for the past 12 years and it used to be wonderful. We have come to Key West at least twice a year for the past 25 years. This past trip to this restaurant left a particularly bad taste in my mouth. Typically, I do not leave bad reviews I would simply not say anything. However. We decided to stop in and sit at the bar to get a salad and an antipasto and have a few cocktails. We sat and ordered food and drinks. There is a bartender there whose name is Carrie. From the moment we sat down all she did was talk loudly nonstop to the patrons at the bar, complaining about tourists ruining the island. How horrible fantasy fest is, how bad boat week is, the type of people that come to town. There were probably one or two locals there, but the rest were. Well, tourists and there for next week's fantasy fest. We watched several people roll their eyes and leave after one drink. So fine, some people have a bad day and are characters, well that's cool, no big deal right? Here's where it gets weird. We sat, we ate, we didn't engage her in any conversation, the food was alright. It was obvious she resented any little request we asked, such as , can we have some bread please? or, can we have another drink? I go to pay with my credit card, she comes back, and I ask her for change of a 50 so I can leave a cash tip. She states it's our policy not to break large bills. I said, but I would rather leave a cash tip, and is 50 really a big bill? Don't people come in and buy drinks with cash, how can you not give me change so I can leave you some money, it makes no sense? She says and I quote, although I won't write profanity here. "I don't need you F..in money." Well ok then I said, I guess your not getting a tip from me. Mind you I could easily have left one on the credit card but after that attitude, no way. The it gets even more bizarre; she says that's why people hate you. Now I have never met this person before in my life, she doesn't know who I am or what I do, where I'm from etc. etc. What ??? This happened last week, still trying to get a hold of the owner, but honestly, I've wasted enough time just typing this, I left a voice mail at both locations on Duval and Roosevelt. So with that we will never recommend this restaurant ever again or spend another nickel there. Pretty soon they will join the rest of the empty store fronts on Duval in a once wonderful town that, as someone going there for more than 25 years can see, is struggling. Key West doesn't need someone like that and she should return to whatever town she came from, she certainly does not represent the Key West that has kept us coming back for 25+ years.
