After reading glowing reviews, we decided to try SoNapa Grille in New Smyrna Beach. The atmosphere was lovely—inviting and cozy. Initially, we were seated in a very noisy area, so we asked to be moved to a quieter spot. Although the staff member assisting us needed to get "permission" to reseat us (despite several open tables), they ultimately accommodated our request and moved us to a much more peaceful, private table, which we appreciated. The food was good, though not quite as exceptional as I had hoped based on the reviews. That said, the staff was very accommodating of my gluten allergy, which I greatly appreciated. Our server, Ian, was friendly and eager to help, though he wasn’t particularly knowledgeable about gluten-free options. To his credit, he brought over another server who was extremely helpful and well-informed. I ordered margaritas, which were just okay—disappointingly watery, especially given the price. I’ve had far better elsewhere. Prices overall were on the higher side, which I expected, but I also anticipated a higher standard in terms of flavor and presentation. We’d heard rave reviews about the donut bread pudding, so my husband gave it a try. Being gluten-free, I couldn’t taste it myself. He said it was good, but not outstanding—more like eating a muffin with a scoop of ice cream, a drizzle of caramel, and chopped pecans. It didn’t have the texture or richness you’d expect from a classic bread pudding, and he was surprised it didn’t come with a rum sauce. He said he wouldn’t order it again. I had the flourless chocolate cake, which came with a scoop of ice cream. It was very good—rich, dense, and chocolatey—exactly what you’d expect from a flourless chocolate dessert. I’d definitely order it again, especially since it appeared to be the only gluten-free dessert option on the menu. Overall, SoNapa Grille is a very nice restaurant, but the food didn’t quite live up to the hype or the price point. We’ll likely return, though with more modest expectations. Next time, we might stick to the flatbreads—I've heard great things, and they offer a gluten-free crust— and pair it with a glass of wine and maybe a dessert. $150 for two entrées (filet medallions and chicken marsala with steamed spinach), two margaritas, and two desserts felt steep given the overall experience. Still, the ambiance and service were strong points, and I’m willing to give it another shot with a simpler order next time.

ThIs is a local hidden treasure on New Symnra. Great pizza! They offer a variety of Italian food. They have gluten-free options as well. The place is small but there is a 6 person table top. They have a larger outdoor patio that is heated in the winter. This is a charming place with a full bar. The service was great. It does take time because all pizzas are made to order. Of your in a hurry than to to would be a great option. They also work with delivery services such as Uber Eats. There is limited parking in front of the restaurant. There is a larger parking lot that is free parking about a block away. They have nice, clean restrooms and a fun atmosphere that makes this a great choice for an evening with family friends and good food.

I went into Baci's at about 12 o clock, on a Wednesday. I'm guessing they hadn't been open for long. There was only a few customers, and only about 3 employees. We sat ourselves, and soon had menus. Me and my sister are gluten free, so we ordered a gluten free pizza crust. (I added a few things to mine, and the man waiting on us didn't seem to mind). The food took about 25-35 minutes. A bit long for a pizza, but I figured that if you're adding stuff to it, and making it gluten free, it may take longer. We ordered a cesar salad, and I wasn't terribly impressed. I think the dressing had too much lemon juice. When the pizza came out, it was worth waiting for. It wasn't stodgy or extremely small, like gluten free pizzas usually are. I saved my mine leftovers, and ate it later. A little pricier than I thought, but inflation and all that, I'm not going to give them a hard time.

The folks at Flagler Ave went above and beyond to accommodate my challenging dietary restrictions (low fodmap) by making a sauce from scratch for my pizza. They were understanding and careful to check the safety of each ingredient. I would recommend them especially for anyone on a gluten-free, low fodmap or similar diet. Thanks again for the delicious meal!
