Vilano Grill 180 - St. Augustine

This place came highly recommended and having blood sugar problems I have to be careful about my diet so I ordered a hamburger and french fries thinking that would be a safe bet. after paying and exhorbinant price of $4 00 for french fries that were not included in the price of the hamburger I bit into the hamburger and thought it tasted sweet at first I thought it was my imagination but after eating half of the hamburger I knew there was a problem I called the manager and he laughingly told me that they did add a little something to sweeten the burger. I found out from an employee that they add powdered sugar to their meats they do not tell you this nor is it on the menu that they do this, after being made fun of and being laughed at I found the owner extremely rude and he could care less, so if you hav health problems beware of what you are ordering from this restaurant

I'm not a fan of American Italian food. That said everyone in my party loved their dish! Spaghetti with Alfredo and mushrooms it was creamy, thick and fresh. American burger with sweet potato fries fries were hot, delicious. The burger was cooked perfectly with freshly grilled onions. Calamari was cooked just right, tender and the fresh marinara was on point. Highly recommend

Right in the heart of Vilano Beach, steps from the pier. Street parking. Small and beachy. We heard they had great pizza. The table next to us said it was the best they ever had, we just weren’t wow’d. Mozzarella sticks were made in house. They looked great but could be a little hotter and needed a pop of flavor in coating. Pizza Looked amazing and the taste was there but the crust was to wet and tough if that makes sense. Wouldn’t hold up with topping if you tried to eat it with hands and super hard to cut through with knife and fork. My husband loved the turtle cheese cake. Not gonna lie he bought two pieces to take home. It was pretty warm inside too. Outdoor seating available.

I am prefacing my review with “taste is subjective.” I love to review restaurants and especially when I find a hidden gem but this is not that. Overpriced, over cooked, overly breaded, underwhelming, I love great Italian food and seafood but again this was not it. We ordered the spicy shrimp, mozzarella caprese and fried mozzarella for appetizers. The shrimp were heavily breaded and looked much larger that they actually were. The spicy sauce was good but that was it. Mozzarella in the Caprese dish was very dry. The fried mozzarella was okay but it was served with a cold tomato thick substance and not marinara. Entrees: rib-eye steak, 180 chicken tacos, grouper, chicken piccata, cheese pizza and spaghetti with butter for the grandkids. The okay—spaghetti, tacos, grouper. Steak was overcooked, broccoli was frozen, fries were super dry. Chicken piccata was AWFUL. No lemon was detected, the chicken was heavily floured and rubbery. Capers had no flavor. Pizza was okay. Thick heavy sauce and very thin crunchy dough. I do not recommend this and the prices are on par with Disney. Also, beer and wine only not full bar. No ambiance. Old tables and very uncomfortable chairs, tables were sticky. No AC just fans, or that is what it appeared to be.

Fun place for pizza, Italian dishes and seafood. My son had a cheese pizza and it was delicious. Hubby and I shared a loaded Stromboli and a Greek salad. Nic was our server and he was well jammed. Very recommended
