la famiglia italian restaurant

the one at harbor walk is great. outdoor seating with a great view. i would suggest this to friends. great italian dinner.

excellent!!!!!. this is the only place to eat in destin if you want the best italian food! my wife is from roma, and so are the owners, and the prices are great as well.

the bread was good. my friends in destin had recommended this spot..but not really sure why.
the service was outstanding...but the food quality does not compare with food
in the old country....my friend ordered a veal dish that was tough and had been
pre-cooked ...so glad i did not get it as the mushroom sauce was not tasty. i had
the lobster ravioli......the vodka sauce was terrible...$30.00 for a small
non-descript salad, one glass of wine and a dish i would never order again.
the bread was warm and the olive oil was well seasoned.
wish we had gone to the olive garden..unlimited salad and bread sticks and
consistent quality.

amazing restaurant! everything the service to the food was wonderful! ordered about six different meals and each one was better than the other. definitely recommend la famiglia.

great food. i find a lot of overated establishments in this town. this place is the real deal. great ambiance. great food. well worth a visit if you have never been!

we decided to try this place as it was recommended by a friend. excellent location next to the mall.
i start out with a cesar salad, while my wife had the caprese salad, both were delicious.
the wood fired pizza was very good. i will try their pastas as they say they are made in house.
service was quick and friendly as it is family owned and operated
overall we enjoyed this place.

the service was perfect and the food was excellent. the lunch menu is pretty large and it would be difficult not to find something you would like. the atmosphere is very warm yet casual.

went at dinner time expecting it to be busy and there was no one there. customer service was good and the food came out fast. (10-15 minutes we received our food) i had ordered a cheese pizza and fries. the pizza was medium crust and great for the price. $12.99 and we got what we paid for.

i would come back for the pizza.

i heard the location at the commons was better than the harbor, so we picked food over view. bad decision. it started off with the music being so loud that we couldn't hear the waitress or our table conversation. it was finally turned down near the end of our meal. the bread was very ordinary. the food was very ordinary. not much flavor to the sauce, the veal was tough. we won't be back.

a group of 5 of us ate dinner there on a none busy night and we found the food to be below average and the service horrible. we were sat at a table which was used by another family with used dishes and oil. there were two employees arguing in front of us at one point. no refills, stale bread, and poor service made the bland food worse.

la famiglia makes terrific red sauce dishes that aren't overcooked or sweet.  their lasagna is pretty simple stuff, but full of rich fulfilling comfort food flavor.

we had the best experience at la famiglia! the service was impeccable and the food was outstanding. we tasted many things from drinks to bread and oil to apps to salads to entres to desserts. nothing was short of perfection but i personally recommend the strawberry-basil martini and any of the pasta dish options. francesca was a gracious hostess and we can't wait to return!

simply awful.. something has changed since we ate here two years ago. "eggplant parmesan" was a disgusting soupy mess of bland sauce covering bitter slivers of naked eggplant. pasta was overcooked cheap spaghetti in a sauce chef boyardee might have made. will not be returning.

let down from other online reviews. we went to la famiglia on a sunday at the harbor location after reading so many glowing reviews on another site. we were quite let down. the salad was strangely missing any truly green lettuce and did not look fresh (see photo). in addition it was an up-charge with the entree (it being included was marked through on the menu, so at one time it was). it was definitely not worth the additional expense. another family member's caesar salad did have better dressing, but still looked more yellow than green. pastas were better than salads, but not worth the drive from the 30a area, and certainly not anything more memorable than chain italian. perhaps we caught them on a bad day. the alfredo sauce was a highlight, but overall i left wondering how people were able to write so many glowing reviews after a mediocre meal. the good news is that staff were earnest and service was overall good, even with a translation problem related to a dressing request.

the pizza is the best!
