    This is a wonderful little hidden gem of a restaurant. The food was absolutely amazing. The appetizer of wild mushroom tart was out of this world. My husband had the lamb and I had the duck both were cooked to perfection. Loved the ambiance and the white table cloths. Will definitely go back.

    The food and service at Massimo's were excellent! This is a restaurant for people who really enjoy dining out at places with high standards. Our waitress, Anne, was fantastic, and I very much appreciated the fact that she gave the Prices, as well as the descriptions, of specials. We will return again, on one of our yearly Florida visits.
