Simones Wood Fired Craft Kitchen - (Near St. Augustine, FL)

5 /5 Sean Baker: We walked in and got a table even though we had to park in the next parking lot. The waitress got refills right when we needed them. Our entree came in very quickly within around 10 minutes of ordering it. I have NEVER had 3 really good sweet tea refills and that’s all I got, 3 of the most perfect drinks which seems impossible considering that I’ve been to plenty of sit in restaurants. This is by far the best service and food I have ever eaten. And surprisingly not crazy expensive.

5 /5 Brittany Travis: We called ahead for 3 at 6:30 but we weren’t able to be seated until about 7:15, everything after the wait was nothing short of amazing! Our waitress was so friendly and provided excellent recommendations. We started with the giant meatball appetizer and their delicious bread. I had the short rib as my entree and my husband had the Chicken Parmesan. Usually I would not want “fried chicken with red sauce” but everything tasted amazing. Their house made noodles stand out in addition to all other pairings on the plate complimenting each other. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience at Simone’s Wood Fired Craft Kitchen. I would highly recommend this for anyone looking for a scratch Italian kitchen in St. Augustine.

4 /5 Amanda Milheiser: My husband and I dined twice over this past week when we visited the area. We loved the vibe of the resteraunt. The food was really good. The calamari was divine! We loved that it was served with hit marinara sauce and peppers - it was very reminiscent of how it is served in Europe which I love way more! The bread pudding was divine! The lasagna serving was huge! My least favorite thing was the mushroom pizza, I thought it lacked flavor, mushroom amount, and the crust was just meh. Overall, we loved it. I am sure some people adore the pizza, just comes down to preference. But definitely worth a stop! Oh, and the jam jar wine is great!

5 /5 Timothy Todaro: Great local real Italian restaurant. We started out with the goat cheese bruschetta, our #1 go-to appetizer. My wife had the huge serving of lasagna, must have been 10 layers+, I had the roast with homemade pasta, all very delicious. We finished our meal with the bread pudding, more of a rich custard and the best we’ve ever had. Rosie was our server, very knowledgeable, attentive, great customer service and an asset to the Simone’s organization. Would highly recommend. Thanks, Tim & Susan Todaro

5 /5 Chris Harrell: What a nice surprise. Had lunch there today, and the food was outstanding. The side salads, choice of 3 different ones, were huge, fresh, and had a variety of ingredients. My main event was Lasagna which was served in a sizzling cast iron skillet. The portion could have been split, but my wife had Linguine with meatballs and marinara sauce. The meatballs (2) were the size of tennis balls, cooked and seasoned to perfection and on a bed of pasta. Last but not least, the desert was White Chocolat Bread Pudding, Ill just say it was SMOOTH. Tomorrow, round two when we polish off the leftovers.
