Roberto's has been serving the Ocean Ilse Beach area since 1985. Its a second generation family business now being run by Chef/Owner Dave Gundrum and Executive Chef Ryan Duganne. The atmosphere is casual and relaxed. The menu is diverse from signature seafood dishes like Salmon Rockefeller or Grouper Saint Thomas to classic Italian dishes including Chicken Piccata, Veal Parmigiana and Homemade Lasagna. For the steak lover hand cut Filet Mignon, Ribeye and Berkshire Duroc Pork Chops prepared on our 1600 degree flame broiler. Appetizers include homemade Cheese Crab Dip, Ahi Tuna, Bang Bang Shrimp and more. To finish your night our Creme Brulee is world class.

    Roberto's is our go to place for a great dinner. We have never been disappointed. Our server Edith was especially helpful, kind and attentive. She is the best!! The atmosphere is very much to our liking. The food is very good. We will definitely return for numerous dinners on our visits to Sunset Beach.

    The service was really slow. The food is normally very good. However, we picked a bad night, I guess?

    Another enjoyable meal at Roberto's. We have our favorites there and always enjoy an occasional unusual special. The gnocchi carbonara was outstanding.
