I have been going to 180 Vilano Grill for many years. The food is always outstanding. Today I had the Mahi sandwich with mango coleslaw as the side.It was so good I got the stuffed spinach pizza to eat later. Nice outdoor seating and dogs are welcome. Fresh food, reasonable prices, my favorite restaurants in the St.Augustine/Vilano Beach area.
This is not your upscale fancy place. It is very comfortable and has great charm. There are locals present because they know it's good food. It's been about 4 years since I visited and I am glad I did. We walked in and there was one guy serving so he asked if our party of six could be seated near the rest of the crowd so he could make sure he was attentive to everyone. That he was. We had several of the pizzas, a fish sandwich and the calamari. All were fresh and very tasty and piping hot. I highly recommend this place and hope it doesn't change with the development that is going on around them.
Best food we’ve had in St. Augustine! Everything was incredibly fresh and delicious and the service was friendly and efficient. The atmosphere was so lovely. Quaint, charming, hole in the wall!! We had the wedge salad and a pizza on their gluten free crust and it was the best crust I’ve had (I usually order regular crusts from restaurants). Absolutely recommend!
Cute place! Has more seating than looks like, it's just spread out. There is nice outdoor seating. Something for everyone on the menu as there is a good mix. The pizza was phenomenal and hubs loved the American Pie Burger. Mozzarella squares and marinara was very good. We will be back for sure. There was a small bar.
4th of July dinner was On POINT! Entering this restaurant made you feel like you were warped back to a simpler time, especiallywhen compared to the hustle and bustle of Vilano Beach on the holiday weekend. The atmosphere is pleasant but not overtly attractive nor flashy. The food was 100% the star and worth the visit. We ordered the blackened scallops, cheese ravioli, shrimp scampi, spaghetti and meatballs, and the eggplant parmesan. On special was a red snapper served with bacon risotto... so naturally we ordered one of those, too! Everything was on point except the scampi, which to us, was a bit on the thicker side and lacked that butter and garlic punch I was hoping for in a good.
Every time I come to Vilano I come to 180!! It’s really delicious & fresh! My girlfriends and I got an Airbnb on the beach and ordered from here one night and I’ve been in love ever since!! The white pizza is awesome, get a side of the yummy sauce too. The calzone is fantastic !! Lastly ask for John and Jackson, they made my first experience that welcoming to always returned! Not only is the food fabulous but the guys are family friendly, super knowledgeable about the menu!
This place is amazing. The pizza was superb. I rate pizza on crust and the tomato sauce. This was superb. I also had the Shrimp Scampi, which was excellent, HUGE shrimp, but my only recommendation would be the seasoning. The dish could use a good deal more garlic to TRULY be a scampi dish. The Greek salad was incredible per my wife. This is a must stop when visiting Vilano and St Augustine. MOST HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
