34 Best Italian Restaurants near Apopka

“fast service, excellent sauce, pleasant atmosphere and friendly staff. A+++“

“The pizza was good and tasted fresh, with plenty of toppings and great flavor. The staff was friendly, and the restaurant had a nice atmosphere. My only downside was the price—it felt a bit expensive for what we received. Overall, it was a good meal, but I'd probably only return for a special occasion or if there were a good deal available.“

“Best calzones in town! Best costumer service! Kind and friendly, I just can't say enough. Please, please, please support small businesses. We definitely get what we pay for and Cafè Verona does not disappoint.“

“Best style of ny pizza I’ve had in Florida!“

“Great service, Hailey helped out a lot and gave above and beyond service. They have a great lunch special and was very affordable. Hailey got my food out quickly and everything was delicious, definitely coming back for the rest of this week for the lunch specials.“

“Best pizza in Central Florida! Jets Detroit style is incredible for me, well worth the 30 minute drive.“

“This was a extremely clean, hungry Howies I see they take pride and clean the tables. I didn’t see one dirty table, and the staff was extremely nice.

No racist or prejudice vibes in here.

I recommend this place and will only ever eat pizza from this location.“

“The best Italian restaurant in central Florida!“

“In town for a business event and happened to find this gem of a restaurant. I was lucky to be seated quickly because 85% of the tables were reserved. The staff was the most friendly and eager to please. Alexa in particular was dealing with some rather demanding customers, and she did it with a smile and grace. The six formaggi pizza was one of the best pizzas I’ve ever had- the crust was stuffed with ricotta and I was in heaven. The Gorgonzola was a very forward flavor, so if bleu cheeses aren’t your favorite I’d make the pizza a five formaggi instead. The chocolate mousse was also light and delicate. I will go out of my way to return on future trips to the area.“

“Kristin was a fantastic waitress. She took care with our order. All the food came out fresh and hot. The cooks served food that was outstanding and fresh. Thank You for an awesome dinner!!“

“Sue and I have not been to this place since they converted to sit-down and order. Finally joining the real restaurant world. We have eaten here about 20 times in the last few years and have always enjoyed the food, but felt strange with the get-your-own-drink aspect of it. Anyways, we are seated at our favorite booth, Perry Como, Elvis, Dean Martin, and Sinatra (the usual suspects) crooning at a comfortable level, with decent speakers. Oscar greeted us and took our drinks order, leaving a couple of rather impressive menus with us. We spent some time looking at the menu, as the format has changed somewhat. I ordered the shrimp marsala on linguine, Sue ordered the same on some other pasta noodle (You choose). After a reasonable interval, our food arrived. 2 huge bowls of deliciousness thick enough that it could have been called a stew. Lrt me tell you, I've been to restaurants that the orders contained little meat, little mushrooms, and a LOT of broth. Not here! These bowls were crammed with a ton of food. Shrimp, portobella mushrooms and pasta that was not overcooked. I gotta tell you, Sue and I dine out a LOT...various venues all over WG/Ocoee/Windermere/Clermont. This was probably the finest meal I ever had. The improvements the restaurant made are A+ Definitely worth dropping a hundy on.“

“Delicious! Recommend highly. 5 stars!“

“Went in a Friday night over the Arts Festival weekend. They were busy, but staff seated us fairly quickly. We ordered a veggie pizza - it came out huge, hot & delicious. The veggies were very fresh, the crust was not too thick or thin & it had the right amount of cheese. Our waitress was friendly & attentive. We feel like we picked a great place & wish we had more time to go back & choose one of their Italian dishes!“

“Local Gem We live a 15 minute stroll from Mangoni's Italian Market, but at "feels like" temps hovering around 105°, strolling to lunch hasn't been as attractive ? Sunday, hubby wanted a relaxing lunch with sangria! So, we drove (& charged our EV in the parking garage). We had the entire patio to ourselves, as diners likely expected unbearable heat. Mangoni's pergola and great ceiling fans made patio dining the experience we wanted---even when the afternoon storm blew up from the west, we were protected from rain. We enjoyed our favorite, GF goat cheese pizza, with our sangria. Unlike most places, Mangoni's GF crust is an excellent, thin cauliflower crust. And, it’s not an upcharge. We also enjoyed meeting Georgia, the regional manager, who chatted with us about the social hour (11-6pm weekdays). She made a GF garlicky cheesy Flatbread for us to try--now we have more reason to stroll (or drive) over! Oh, and take away is a frequent option. Really, Mangoni's is a local gem.“

“The food was amazing and Alberto was the person who help me navigate a the info there and was really useful.“

“Their are clearly mark take out and delivery. Do you feel the same way when you go papa johns or Dominos and there is no sitting.“

“The best pasta I have ever tried! On top of that it’s the customer service you receive whenever you make an order or go to the markets. A company with true customer loyalty with the best fresh pasta at its heart.“

“I had an outstanding experience at the Olive Garden in Altamonte Springs. From the moment we arrived, the service, food, and atmosphere were excellent. A special thank you to Jose Gutierrez, whose leadership clearly shows throughout the restaurant. He was professional, attentive, and made sure every guest felt welcomed and valued.
The staff was friendly, the food was fresh and delicious, and everything was handled with care and efficiency. It's refreshing to see a manager so committed to providing a great dining experience. We will definitely be returning and highly recommend this location to anyone looking for exceptional service and a wonderful meal.
Thank you, Jose, and the entire team, for a fantastic experience! 🍝🥗😊“

“I’ve gotta give a shoutout to Broadways — I ordered takeout and every single thing was incredible. The baked ziti was packed with flavor, the meatballs were delicious, and the homestyle garlic bread was absolutely on point. Everything arrived hot, fresh, and perfectly made. Thanks, Broadways!“

“Ordered a Sicilian Pizza and it was FANTASTIC! Definitely coming here again!“

“Jaydon totally took care of us, he was courteous and professional. The food was outstanding.“

“Special shoutout to the To-Go staff and managers at Olive Garden for handling an incredibly stressful situation with such professionalism and kindness on Mother’s Day. There was clearly a system glitch that caused major order delays, but the team stayed calm, kept customers updated, and remained so courteous throughout it all.

I ultimately had to cancel my order due to the wait, but the manager personally apologized, which I truly appreciated. The way this team handled the pressure speaks volumes about their dedication and customer service. I hope they know how appreciated they are. Can’t wait to order from them again — the service is always amazing. Thank you all, it does not go unnoticed!“

“I’ve been eating Del Franco’s pizza for years. The very best pizza. They cook it like you ask. You can eat in or they will deliver it. They do charge a delivery fee. It’s worth it to go in to eat. My grandchildren always want to go eat their pizza. Great food.“

“If you’re looking for a spot that combines a welcoming atmosphere with top-tier service, Anthony’s Pizza is it.

A huge shout-out to Jimmy behind the counter his energy and professionalism really set the tone for the visit. Also, a special thank you to Lové our waitress. She was incredibly kind, attentive, and stayed on top of everything even while working hard to keep the floor running smoothly. It’s rare to find service this genuine and hardworking these days.

The food is always great, but it’s the people like Jimmy and Lové who make this place a local gem. We’ll definitely be back soon!“

“Great service and food😋 One of my favorite place🙌😋“

“The pizza, sub and salad we ordered were all very good. Thank you.“

“Ate there today. Great pizza and great service!“

“We ate at the restaurant on 10/25/25 and the food was delicious and reasonably priced. The homemade pastas and veal were fabulous. The services and atmosphere was also wonderful and I highly recommend this restaurant to everyone. We will definitely visit it again next year. They even took a reservation during the art & craft show which most restaurants won't do at that time. Delicious!“
