TradeWinds Italian Restaurant

"This is a special place! We've been coming to Tradewinds since its early days in the late 1990s. We continue to go for their perfectly prepared pasta and seafood, pizza, steaks, pork chops, fresh salads, and decadent desserts. You must nearly always have a reservation, so plan ahead. This is a locals' secret, but the word got out when it won so many cuisine awards year-to-year. Don't miss the opportunity to bring out-of-town guests with you, but it's ideal for an intimate date too. I had the Grouper with capers over pasta; others had Carbonara, Pasti, and Alfredo dishes. The flourless chocolate "cake" was delicious too. You gotta go!"

"My husband got the Capricciosa pizza, 11 year old daughter got the Margherita, toddler devoured the linguine and meatballs and our waiter recommended the shrimp with white wine and red sauce penne pasta dish ... and let me tell you everything was out of this world DELICIOUS (coming from someone who lived in Italy for 4 years) we topped it off with their tiaramisu... *perfection* HOWEVER; we were dissapointed to discover half of our leftovers missing upon returning home and looking forward to devouring this delicious food a second time. The waiter boxes the food when you request a box.... and we only came home with half of our incredible meal *sad day* Overall 10/10 for food and service, we sat outside as we did not have a reservation, and our waiter was phenomenal."

"ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE!! Have lived in Crestview for about 5 years and I’ve just recently heard about this place. We are always trying to find local places with great service and cuisine. Tradewinds by FAR exceeded all expectations! Our server Shelly was attentive and super friendly. The prices for the amount of food you get are crazy (in a good way!). VERY reasonable prices for scrumptiously big portions of food. Any of the dishes can be easily split between two people for a full meal (to include the HUGE bruschetta!). I ordered the veal piccata and my son ordered the seafood special (shrimp in a vodka sauce with pene pasta). Both were full of flavor and cooked perfectly. I was very happy to have a cut of veal instead of a mincemeat patty like a lot of restaurants use. Then we had to try their tiramisu. Oh WOW!! Y’all, if you haven’t tried this place you NEED to make a reservation and get in! I cannot wait to try everything on their menu!"

"This restaurant is an absolute gem! Best kept secret niceville has to offer! 1st time there sat at the bar and was able to watch them cook everything and they are absolutely some talented chefs! Definitely will be going back to try more items of this amazing menu"

"TradeWinds? More like TradeWins! Small hole in the wall restaurant that doesn't need to boast. It's small and quaint on the outside but you walk in and the atmosphere is super relaxed and lively. Great olive oil with unique blend of spices to accompany fresh bread. Awesome service from Teresa! We ordered the fettuccine Alfredo with blackened chicken and to keep it short, it was absolutely delicious. We have been all over the United States and have tried many Alfredos and this restaurant is absolutely top 10. Of course we completed this amazing dinner with dessert and had the cannoli which is a must! The filling is handmade and delicious. Can't wait to go back next time we're in town!"
