Knew that the restaurant had changed hands recently, and was also sure that new owners Carmelo and Carolyn Vitale of Trattoria Venezia and other venues in Key West, would continue the excellent tradition of Italian Food. Super service and wonderful meal ensures future visits!

Firstly let me say I never ate at the Square under its previous incarnation, even though I passed by many times I always felt there where other establishments that could offer more..
After reading reviews of The New Square, and seeing the menu, I knew I had to visit on my next trip.
I dined last night and can say...

Our second night on our honeymoon, and we couldn't decide where to eat dinner - so we jumped on Trip Advisor to figure it out. We landed on Square One. This place is nestled away in a new, small, quaint shopping area, off the road a bit, away from the craziness of Duval St.
Instantly, we were greeted by a...

If your looking for a great restaurant in Key West.... This is the place. Excellent atmosphere and service. I had their Sea bass and it was well prepared! The price on meals was about average and it's in nice little location off Duval Street.

This is our first visit to Key West, and we discovered Square One and loved the ambience, it's in a cluster of restaurants, set back in a small, new shopping area. Each restaurant has picturesque outdoor seating, lots of lights in the trees - and two parrots! - so we stayed for dinner, and had the best dinner and most...

You are indeed wonderful for acknowledging your experience at Square One. Alas it is an irony in life that our "instant" success derives from a carefully selected team of bartenders, servers, managers, kitchen staff and the over 80 years of combined restaurant experience of the principle owners and chef. An experience that reminds us daily that we are only as...

We went to Square One on our last night in Key West, after reading the delicious menu online. We sat outside and enjoyed the beautiful ambiance in this little tucked away location. Our server, John, was delightful, attentive, and had great insight as to the menu. Our dinner, from start to finish, can only be described as heavenly, to be...

My wife and I ate here one night during our honeymoon. We had a great table for people watching, and I can't say enough good things about the meal. We had and escargots with foie gras and mushrooms for the appetizer, and I had fresh yellow tail tuna with broccoli rabe and gnocchi all'amatriciana. My wife had the red curry...

One of the best meals I've had in Key West tonight. Salmon medallions with scallops on polenta with artichoke hearts. Amazing. Chef Andrew has done it again!

Walked by this place right after getting to Key West, and sure enough ended up here for dinner after evaluating all of the competition. The menu seemed upbeat or something. The place is beautiful and there are different kinds of seating including some benches where you can sit next to each other. Service was fast and friendly, and the food...

The Riesling is an excellent choice with the seafood lasagna. Good call. There are certainly many wonderful places to dine in Key West, thanks for including Square One among your favorites. Our inventive global cuisine attempts to present some traditional favorites in a new, creative way...
as you experienced with the seafood lasagna. We hope to see you again.
Namaste,...
