Moxie Kitchen and Cocktails: Where New American Meets Italian Delight in Jacksonville

The atmosphere is warm and inviting, the service is friendly and attentive, and the food is outstanding. The short rib with polenta and the lasagna is phenomenal. In fact, everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. Highly recommend!

The food was absolutely divine last night. The Brussels sprout appetizer was to die for and I highly recommend starting with it! Everything was truly outstanding and worth stopping in for!

It was our anniversary dinner and everything was very delicious! Our waitress, ⭐ Kay M , was excellent in her service. I would return and I would like her to attend to us again.

Fantastic meal all around with great service and cocktails. My pasta dish was clearly home made and one of the better ones I have had in a long time. Super flavorful and a nice texture on the al-dente pasta. Pizza is a different take from “normal” and it’s on focaccia bread; we thought it was fantastic. If you are in the mood to try different style pizza, I’d highly recommend. Light and airy with a nice balance of sauce and fresh mozzarella/parmesan. Cocktail menu is very unique and I had the Rye and Chai, which was nice. Overall highly enjoyed our meal!

This was our first time trying this restaurant as we don’t get out this way often. All the staff were amazing, friendly, courteous, and attentive. Our waitress, Heather, did great answering all of our questions about meals and drinks. Her recommendations were spot on as our drinks and meals were perfect. Had the cesar salad and spaghetti with fontini meatballs. Beer and mixed drinks were excellent with plenty to choose from. Since it is fall they have a number of themed drinks. The first I tried was Nonna’s Apple and the second was the pumpkin spice. They were both excellent in their own way so it would be impossible to say which I liked more. We will definitely be back. Also the prices were good for the quality and quantity of food we got. Absolutely 5 star from us !!!

Pleasantly surprised with what a fantastic meal we had. We were visiting Jacksonville and drove past the restaurant and noticed all the cars so decided to check it out. Happy Hour had brought in a decent crowd and we were even able to take advantage of it in the main dining room. The server, super charming and very friendly. He was consistent on checking on how we were doing. A lot of the dishes are offered in two sizes opt for the smaller, the portions are big (see photos). We shared the Burrata which was amazing and super fresh. The short rib entree was so tender and served with brussel sprouts. We also had the gnocchi which was some of the best I have ever had. Sadly, no room for dessert but I am sure it would have been as delicious just like the rest of the meal.

This is our favorite Italian restaurant in Jacksonville. The food is great. The service is wonderful. They have lots of allergy options gluten-free menu modifications available. Vegan vegetarian options. I love the spaghetti and meatballs and the lasagna and always like to start with the calamari. This gluten-free bread is the first time I’ve had gluten-free bread that doesn’t taste like it’s missing gluten.

my friend and i went here to eat and it was a great experience. staff and our server (don’t remember her name, she had blonde, tied back hair) was really nice and attentive to us. she made sure we were alright all through our dining experience. my friend and i both got their sugo pasta and it was okay. not bad by any means but, we would’ve preferred something else. we just thought we’d try something new but, it was still pretty good. you can definitely tell the food was all fresh and made from scratch. the restaurant itself has a very nice scenery/decor and it was refreshing. definitely worth your time to come here. i will be coming back with friends to eat here.
