Reviews for Island Italian restaurant in Corpus Christi, TX

Burnt veal in brown (?) sauce. Pretty sure the supposed marinara was burnt as well, because my wife?s lasagna and my daughter?s... spaghetti were not any better. Just absolutely awful. I have nothing positive to say about our dinner. Might as well have justthrown $60 out the window and then ate some chips. Tried eight times over thirty minutes to get back in touch with them butnobody ever answered. Read more

Definitely learned not to judge a book by it cover ????....from the moment we walked in we were pleasantly greeted and... seated????. I am glad we tried it the food was wonderfully flavored, scrumptious and very fulfilling????????????????. We welldefinitely be going back (probably every time I go for my mani/Pedi, since they are conviently located across the street ????)to try more off the menu. The waitress was very attentive and even left us with a souvenir from the beach ?? a shell she pickedand painted herself. They are absolutely adorable and it was a very nice gesture ???? Read more

Solid food and kind staff! Waitress gave each person a hand painted sea shell for being so good. ????

Terrible food, absolutely NO pride from the cook. Pizza is the most basic process, and it was the worst I have ever seen or had.... They put WAY too much sauce on, and cheese wasn't even laid on the entire pizza, just the center. Also ordered mussels, and theywere dry and overcooked. Maybe they need to hire a better cook, but the problems were not isolated to just the food. We waited38 minutes, after we were seated, for a server to come and ask for our drink order. Immediately after that, the manager (atleast she appeared to be) also asked for our drink order, as she noticed we were getting upset. I mentioned this isunacceptable, and she merely apologized and said "it's better to come during our lunch time" and also mentioned "it's alwayscrazy around dinner time". Mind you, it was 5:12 when we arrived, so still a bit early for dinner rush. Read more

My family enjoyed our experience at this restaurant tonight. The atmosphere was lively and fun; at one point the entire... restaurant was singing along with the live music. The staff were very friendly and our waitress was the sweetest ever. She wassuper prompt with our food, refills etc. She gave us all hand painted shells that she normally gives to customers which we allloved! For an appetizer we ordered the mozzarella sticks. I saw a negative review say that they tasted frozen and that is nottrue at all?I wish the frozen ones tasted that good! They were delicious and went super quickly at our table. For entrees, myhusband ordered the special, which was grilled mahi, lobster ravioli with shrimp on top. He ate every bite and said it wasdelicious. My daughter and I each ordered the chicken parmigiana which we really enjoyed. Our other guests had the gnocchi andsaid that dish was good as well. Garlic bread is very yummy too! For dessert we ordered cannoli and it tasted very authentic anddelicious! Overall a really enjoyable evening with my family and I?m so thankful to have these new memories with them at thisrestaurant ???? Read more
