Fantini's Italian Restaurant featuring New Haven Style Apizza

Edit: Wow—the management’s response to this review is surprising, but honestly not unexpected based on my experience. Yes, Steak ’n Shake earns five stars when judged against expectations for fast food. You review a fast-food restaurant by comparing it to other fast-food places. A restaurant that presents itself as a classy, sit-down Italian spot should be reviewed based on that standard. I’ve had better calzones at small mom-and-pop corner restaurants, and no true sit-down Italian restaurant deep-fries their Chicken Parm. Rather than responding defensively, it would be far more productive for the restaurant to focus on improving its weaknesses. End Edit. I had high hopes for this restaurant, but it definitely fell short of what I expect from an Italian restaurant. I asked about the

A friend recommended we try Fantini's. All I have to say is WOW! Wife and I had their Old Fashioned cocktail, it was very good. We had the meatball appetizer and their chicken wing appetizer. They were both unbelievably good, super good, excellent. We then had the pizza, 1 cheese and 1 pepperoni. Their pizza is the best I have had in my 34 years living in PSL. Service was great, everything came out quick. Waitress was very attentive. If you haven't tried Fantini's yet, get there as soon as you can.

The pizza was absolutely amazing. True New Haven style. Great crisp. We got the cheese & also a tomato pie. Both bring back memories of home. The ingredients tasted fresh & delicious. The inside was really nice & great vibes. Really nice bar & set up. On the fancy side. Felt a little uncomfortable walking in after work, still in work close & boots. The service was amazing & our waitress was wonderful. Highly recommend saving room for the tiramisu.

I’ve been coming to Fantini’s Pizzeria in Stuart, FL several times a month for the past two years, and I can honestly say this is some of the best pizza you’ll find anywhere in the Stuart / Port St. Lucie / Martin County area. This is New Haven-style thin-crust pizza done right. The crust is perfectly thin, the cheese is balanced, and the sauce actually has flavor... not bland, not overly sweet. There’s a light charred finish that gives it a wood-fired, authentic vibe. It doesn’t taste burnt at all, but it has that smoky edge that true pizza lovers appreciate. I know some people might not expect that style, but personally, that char is exactly what makes Fantini’s stand out from every generic pizza place around here. Whether I dine in or take it home, the pizza holds up incredibly well

Very comfortable restaurant/pizzeria with a full selection entrees. Went for lunch and ordered a 1/2 pepperoni 1/2 plain pizza which was done perfectly. Pepperoni was a wonderfully delicious mix of mini spicer slices and larger traditional size. White clam pizza was tasty but weak on the clams. Definitely will go back again.
