Salt

Enza’s

Sometimes there’s nothing better than a classic Italian joint like Enza’s, a romantic, cozy spot you’d never expect to find nestled in a strip mall. Owner and head chef Enza’s menu draws from her experiences growing up in Sicily, a collection of perfectly prepared classic Italian dishes, so it’s no wonder they’ve been named the best Italian restaurant in Jacksonville three times by the Florida Times Union. A rotating cast of guest musicians help elevate an already memorable experience, serenading you and your Valentine as you enjoy a big bowl of pasta.
