We come here at least every month or so. It's not usually too busy, so it does pick up sometimes. The fish carpaccio is our favorite. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $30–50 Food: 5 Service: 5 Recommended dishes: Carpaccio Di Manzo

Service was wonderful, the server was very sweet. The food was good not great the antipasto misto was fresh ingredients but majority salad with minimal meats and small slices of cheese. The lasagna came with vegetables on the side which was an interesting combo. The gnocchi was delicious no complaints there but the risotto dish was basically rice with mushrooms no creaminess to it. Overall for an Italian restaurant in Ponte Vedra a little lacking. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $50–100 Food: 3 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Just wanted to post about a very disturbing experience my mom and I had at caffe andiamo today which ended with the owner saying to his (father? that “they’re no one” about my mother and I. We went in for lunch at 11:10 so it empty other than another customer and the owner and an older man (I believe his dad all sitting at the bar. While eating appetizers we heard the owner telling a staff member in the kitchen to clean something but in a very nasty and demanding tone. Then later on, one of the cooks was prepping our pizza and the owner went over and was completely rude and condescending to him and was saying “the f word” multiple times. All loudly and in front of us. My mom was extremely uncomfortable and asked to leave. We got our food boxed and the waitress, who was amazing, apologized profusely. Before we left I walked up and asked if he was the owner and he said yes. I said respectfully, “my mother and I just ate and the food and service was amazing. However, we are having to leave early as the rude way you speak to your employees has made us extremely uncomfortable. It’s not ok to talk to people like that”. He immediately became defensive and tried to say he was telling them how to do something. I said “I heard every word of what you said and I know you were trying to correct him but it’s not ok to speak to people that way”. The older man asked “what did he say that was rude?” In a very defensive way. I sajd “everything you said was condescending. We will not be back. Thank you and good bye”. I walked away but my mother started saying to them that the owner was throwing f bombs in front of a 64 year old customer and it wasn’t ok. The older male said “we’ve been here for 20 years without complaint.” And the owner said to him “don’t worry, they’re no one” (in regard to my mother and I . My mom said back that we represent ponte vedra but to have an owner of a business tell a customer that “they are no one”, that we are beneath them in some way is disgusting. Especially because we were not complaining about our service or the food. We were complaining about how he was speaking to his staff very loudly and swearing, especially in front of customers. We will not be returning. Service: Dine in Meal type: Lunch Price per person: $30–50 Food: 4 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1
