“Coastal Italian on the water off Tavernier Creek, with live music.”
Lido 73 is the waterside restaurant from the team behind Italian Food Company, on an inlet off Tavernier Creek at mile marker 90.4. For more than 30 years this spot was the Florida Keys Dive Center. Come by boat, car or bike.
The menu is coastal Italian: 96-hour Roman-style pizza and handmade pasta. There's live music daily and an Italian market inside. The main dining room has eight underwater photographs of the Upper Keys by Stephen Frink on the walls.
Lido 73 by Italian Food Company is part of Taste the Keys for October 2026, the Key Largo Chamber of Commerce's month of prix-fixe menus at Upper Keys restaurants. Check the Taste the Keys site for this year's menu and price. It's also a stop on the Taste the Keys trolley food tour on Thursday, October 15. The rest of the lineup is in our October in the Keys guide.
