A Culinary Adventure Awaits

Definitely get a reservation and make sure you don't miss this place. The service is absolutely top-notch. The food portion sizes are large and the food is great. My family thought it was one of the best meals we had on our vacation."

"So glad we found Ali’s while doing a Google search for restaurants. Absolutely the best food we’ve had in a long time. Everything from being seated right away (Wednesday evening), atmosphere, food and service was amazing. Our server was nice and made great recommendations. Can’t wait to come back while visiting next year for another great anniversary dinner."

"This restaurant is by far Ft. Walton Beach's best kept secret, and they take reservations. EXCELLENT service, SUPERB food with an elegant and quaint vibe. For starters, the Olive Oil dip and bread is a MUST. Our Caesar Salad, Veal Piccata and Manicotti... all delicious! An overall wonderful dining experience."

"Really good place! Best Italian Restaurant in Destin, FL."

"Great quality food, service. A must to visit when in the area! We will return! The food is first class, the servers are very professional and aim to make your stay a memorable one! Every item we ate from soup, entrée, to dessert were perfect!"

"We held a 93rd Birthday celebration dinner for our family at Ali’s last week and it was fabulous! They accommodated the 12 of us perfectly. The service was exceptional and the food and wine, from appetizers to dessert, was outstanding. Such a rare find in a beach town. Everything was perfection."

"We've vacationed in the Fort Walton Beach/Destin area three different weeks this year and have been to a lot of really good restaurants. But Ali's Bistro is my favorite so far. Italian cuisine is usually not my first choice when looking for a restaurant, so I was pleasantly surprised to find this gem. The locals know about it, though, because on an off-season Thursday, it was packed. Now I know why. The food and service are excellent. I had the best lasagna I've ever eaten."

"Absolutely love this place. Anytime I am in the FWB/Destin area I have to come here for the white pizza. The service is great and the food is excellent. Definitely a place of fine dining. Though not required, I would recommend making reservations."

"My husband Logan and I have been coming to Ali’s since the day they opened. This is by far one of the best quality dining experiences in this town. Not only is the food consistently outstanding every single time, all the waiters, waitresses, and staff are so incredibly kind. Ali and his family are there every night helping as if they’ve never owned the place. I recommend Ali's for all families and couples. The environment is perfect. Thank you Ali and family for setting the standards so high."

"This place is hands down one of the best Italian restaurants I've ever been to. It is very relaxing and offers a great food and wine selection. Be sure to get a table on the back patio and watch the boats or dock fishermen. Will definitely be back!"

"We had Mimmos and Ali's Bistro and Ali's is hands down better. Better portions, better taste, better bread, better ambience and most importantly, better price. Do yourself a favor and make the drive. Totally worth it!"

"Food, staff, and atmosphere were so great!!!! This will definitely be a must on a return trip!!!!"

"Ali's Bistro was fantastic! The food was absolutely delicious. Incredibly fresh seafood and pasta. And the service was impeccable - from the moment I called to the moment we were served. A+ experience all around."
