Island Gourmet has great pizza and Italian food in Holmes Beach

The Island Gourmet in Holmes Beach is in a central location right off Marina Drive.  In fact, the

islandgourmet is a few  skips across the street from Island Real Estate of Anna Maria Island.  The restaurant is a perfect visit for family of younger children.  What child under the age of 10 does not like pizza?  The Island Gourmet has a few seats outside directly in front of the restaurant and fairly close to the parking lot.  If you are searching for a perfect spot to eat outdoors I would not recommend the Island Gourmet however the outdoor seating is perfect for waiting for their extensive take out menu.  In fact, the entire menu for the restaurant is available for take out and the restaurant as recently as 2009 just started to serve more customers within the restaurant.

The Island Gourmet has middle of the road prices for Italian food.  If you are looking for an extra ordinary pizza then I would make a strong recommendation to either order take out or eat in at the Island Gourmet.  Inside the restaurant has a comfortable feeling and could pitch hit for a romantic setting.  There are about 4 seats at the bar in case you want drinks only.  The restaurant has plenty of specials on the weekends.  On the Saturday we visited there were at least 7 entree specials.  Gorgonzola Gnocchi, pork loins and Calamari stuffed with grouper were a few of the specials the night we visited.  

The restaurant has plenty of appetizers and salads to choose from.  The main entree’s are fairly diverse but mostly

 originate from Italy.  Chicken Marsala, Chicken parmesan, Grouper Florentine, Chicken Piccata, and don’t forget about their pizza.  Most dishes come with pasta.  If you are ready to eat a horse try the Chicken Parmesan.  The dish of chicken provides for a healthy meal and a big plate of pasta with marinara sauce comes along with the dish.   The Island Gourmet also provides a few dessert options.  There Tiramisu is very good.

So if you are looking for a take out meal to picnic at the beach or a fantastic pizza then the Island Gourmet is your bet.  Stop by if you are in the mood for medium priced Italian food.  Usually when I visit there is a healthy family environment.  It is a great spot to go to for families because mom and dad can get their pallet filled with some great Italian dishes and the children can get a slice of pizza of their choice.  Perfect!

The restaurant will take reservations and serve lunches and dinner in Holmes Beach on Anna Maria Island.
