“The best Italian restaurant in central Florida!“

“Love Prato! So much fun! Great food! ❤️🍷“

“Absolutely phenomenal! This has got to be the BEST pizza I’ve had in ages. We stumbled upon this gem and completely fell in love. The menu may be short, but they excel in every single thing they serve—and I’d argue they do it better than anyone else out there. We kicked things off with the Burrata with white truffle oil and Prosciutto, and it was beyond delicious—a perfect start. Then came the pizzas: the Meat Lovers and Star Luca. Unreal! Every bite was bursting with flavor, and it’s hard to believe that each pizza could be as exceptional as the last. And just when we thought it couldn’t get any better, we ended the meal with the Nutella Pizza with Bananas. How is it even possible for every single item to be this amazing? But it’s not just the food; the atmosphere and staff elevate the experience to a whole new level. Katherine, our server, was outstanding. She made us feel completely at home and had spot-on recommendations for everything. We even got to meet Marco, who may be the owner or GM, and either way, he’s clearly got a gift for running an extraordinary establishment. This place has officially won us over—we’re not just fans; we’re now loyal customers for life!“

“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.“

“parking could be better, only been here twice but husband LOVES the meatball sub. I get their American sub and it is delicious! it is always packed. I wish they have another location besides just this one. The food, you just cannot go wrong no matter what you get. whether it's fresh or not. and the staff is amazing, they are all on top of everything!!!“

“Just left there for my first visit and I found it to be slightful. My windiw seat was perfect, the jazz music , the cheese playecwas lovelybandvour waiter Leah was so carefulbtokeep us hapoy and cared for. I will be back very soon“

“love the food and the staff I recommend highly to everyone ❤️ always a great meal and love the owners truly the best !“

“Delicious and fresh classic Italian paired with amazing service is a win win!! We are always are greeted with a smile and welcoming vibe. Love this place so much!“

“This is our favorite pizza! My son won’t eat pizza from anywhere else unless he has no choice. The staff is wonderful and manages to give it a small- business feel without compromising quality. We tell everyone about it to make sure they are supported.“

“Just had an amazing dinner at Osteria Ester, and it’s quickly becoming one of my favorite spots in Orlando. The vibe is cozy yet upscale—dark, warm lighting, beautiful interior, perfect for date night or a chill evening out with friends.

Service was impeccable—our server was attentive, knowledgeable about the menu, and made the whole experience feel welcoming. Portions are generous, and everything tastes fresh and made with care. It’s clear Chef Michael Cooper put heart into this place (named after his grandma—love that touch).“

“I am a regular now, coming here at least once a week. Why? Quality ingredients, well prepared and smooth service. I like to eat low carb normally, but eat here to “carb up” for my long Saturday group bicycle ride. Mama mia! What a treasure has here in Salvatore’s depth of knowledge of cuisine.“

“We had my sister’s college graduation dinner/party here and we had the best server, Nick!! The room was nicely set up and the service was incredible. Nick welcomed us like family, he was funny, energetic, engaging, and very helpful with our large party (26 people) even after having a long day. Also he served our party all by himself! The food was delicious and came out in a timely manner and it was all correct. The drinks and bread came out so quick and the refills kept coming (I think I drank at least 6 diet cokes and so much bread) all thanks to Nick! This dinner was amazing and a great memory and way to celebrate my sister. Thanks Carrabba and Nick! Can’t wait to have another party here!“

“Get to Cafe Paisano immediately! My wife, daughter, and I found Cafe Paisano while we were staying in Longwood on vacation. I had already eaten, they got some takeout, and when I tasted the food, I knew we would be headed back before we left. Cafe Paisano is a smaller, cute place with indoor and outdoor seating. We brought 12 people and they were happy to accommodate us in no time. Our group ordered a variety of entrees and EVERYONE loved their meal. Pizza, lasagna, pasta, everyone was happy and the portions were large. Our server was a young lady, but she was amazing! She handled our large, rowdy group very well with the skill of someone who had been serving for decades. She is probably the best server I have ever had. Upon arriving and before leaving I spoke briefly with the owner and he makes you feel right at home. Living close to New Orleans, it's hard to find a restaurant that will beat our favorite places in the city, but this little spot right here is an absolute hidden gem. Whenever I am in Orlando I will be stopping in to dine with these great people. Longwood is lucky to have them.“

“We got this for Super Bowl and it was so good- we will be back!!!“

“Great family dining experience, highly recommend!“

“If you appreciate fresh chef-inspired and chef-created Italian cuisine, then you MUST dine here. Truly authentic from the ambiance, the cozy intimate setting, to the tiramisu and espresso finale! Only wish we’d found this gem sooner!“

“DINNER REVIEW: LIL VINNY’S PIZZA 2200 Winter Springs Blvd Oviedo, FL 32765 I moved away from Oviedo for a few years, and during my somewhat lonely time living at the beach I decided to write restaurant reviews for every beachside restaurant in Flagler County. Now that I’m back home, I decided to continue writing reviews of the places I eat in Central Florida. For the first time in my life, I have a job where I can walk to nearby restaurants on my lunch break—and Lil Vinny’s Pizza and Pasta is just around the corner. I know real locals hate when Northern transplants talk about missing the pizza we grew up with—but the good news is, the pizza at Lil Vinny’s does remind me of New York pizza—it’s absolutely delicious. Also, I’ve lived in the South since the nineties so I’ll say whatever i want. I didn’t want to write a review that just says “the pizza is good,” so I expanded my menu exploration and tried their cold Italian sub. I’m even pickier about subs than I am about pizza, but this one passed the test. It contained ham, salami, prosciutto, and provolone cheese topped with lettuce, tomato, and onions. I cheated a little bit because I took it home and added the cherry pepper relish I pretend to import from Philly but actually buy in the condiment section of Publix. Anyway, the sandwich is just about perfect and the best part about it is how fresh their rolls taste. Anyone can throw a salad on some deli meat and call it an Italian sub—but it takes attention to detail to get the bread right, and Vinny nails it. Sunday night I went wild and treated myself to a meat lover’s Stromboli—and maybe I said “with extra cheese” when i placed my order—and it was by far the best decision of my three day weekend. Their Stromboli is probably not meant for a single guy to eat alone, and so let’s pretend I cut it into three parts and savored it for several different meals. It was FANTASTIC. I went to the gym afterward maybe. Lil Vinny’s is the perfect hometown pizza place, where the servers know many of the customers by name, where teenagers want to go after the game, and where families push three tables together and order a ton of food to share. I ordered a stack of pizzas to treat my students during a long rehearsal at OHS, and the boss delivered them himself and refused a tip. “It’s for the kids,” he said. Lil Vinny’s knows how to make you feel welcome in your own hometown.“

“We wanted to compare this place to what we experienced in Rome. It’s not Rome but it captures the essence. Enjoy.“

“My experience at La Bella Luna was absolutely wonderful. The food was delicious, fresh, and full of authentic Italian flavors. Every dish was beautifully prepared, and you can tell they really care about quality.What truly made our visit special was the outstanding service from our server, Geraldine. She was warm, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. She made excellent recommendations, checked on us at the perfect times, and made us feel genuinely welcome throughout the entire meal.If you’re looking for authentic Italian food and exceptional service in Orlando, I highly recommend La Bella Luna. We’ll definitely be coming back, and we hope to be served by Geraldine again!“

“Moved home last year after 40yrs down SW Fl and have been searching for a great calzone that's not made with semolina or corn meal. Was looking for the perfect melted mozzarella and creamy ricotta..found it today!!
Pizza Del Dio is magical!! The restaurant is clean, handicapped friendly, has ample parking and phenomenal service everyone was very friendly!! Will gladly drive from Lake Howell Rd, will be there next week!!“

“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!!“

“We love Stefanos. We have never had a bad dish and the service is always on point. They’re amazing at accommodating large groups. Stefanos is my very picky Italian mom’s favorite spots to hit when she visits. :)“

“Took a shot and thought we’d try this restaurant. So glad we did! The food and service are amazing. I recommend this restaurant. We enjoyed this so much we ordered food to go too.“

“Zack (forgive me if misspelled) was a wonderful server with great recommendations. The restaurant has a lovely atmosphere and the food was both delicious and well portioned. Thank you for making our quick late night dine so worthwhile. We will be back with full appetites for more!“

“Local customer for years love it here only place that know how to make pizza. Also their sandwiches lasagna are great too no complaints.“

“Food was excellent tonight!! We did take-out“

“Amazing pizza today! Thank you from The Artistic Hand Gallery!“

“Delicious! Recommend highly. 5 stars!“

“We have been customers of Carrabba’s for over 25 years, but unfortunately, the lasagna at the Sanford location has changed. Our recent order arrived with almost no pasta, mostly cheese and sauce. The manager kindly replaced it and offered a discount, which we appreciated, but the second lasagna still only had one layer of pasta. This is not about compensation — it’s about consistency and quality. We hope Carrabba’s brings back the lasagna quality we have enjoyed for many years.“

“Came in there on last Friday , I was greeted by a young lady by the name of Felicia who patiently waited for me at the podium. What was more impressive my mother who turned 89 which I informed Miss Felicia she the told me what she and her staff could do to make her day significant. Her patience , service we received , her smile . The best service ever ever had in our lives. She is the best Olive Garden has a great server to represent them . She loves what she does and it really shows . Please award her for giving such great service. a memorable moment we will never forget. We were headed back to Vero Beach and decided to stop for lunch , the best decision we could have made.“

“Mila was our server and she was very kind, professional, efficient and poised. She took great care of our group. Our food…amazing. The servings were HUGE and flavorful. A big plus: Darryl (host) was so kind and fun as he volunteered to take many pics of our group in front of the ristorante. He and Mila are great ambassadors of your business. We will return. Grazie !! 🇮🇹“

“it was a Great experience friendly staff and and great food and went home stuffed“

“Opening night at Grappolo Cucina Italiana, an authentic Italian restaurant. The food was a-mazing! I’ll be dreaming about it. The atmosphere was welcoming and vibrant! A beautiful evening to enjoy a great meal with family and friends!“

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

“This is my absolute new favorite if you are anywhere near Lake Mary or the Orlando area. We ordered three appetizers. Had wine and cocktails and everything was delectable. The service was beyond amazing and the staff made us feel like family. I am usually extremely picky and always find at least one fault….i could not find one and this place. It makes me want to move to Florida. I can’t wait to go back!“

“We eat here at least once a week. The Gino's special pizza is our absolute favorite. The service is beyond description. Wanda, Karen, Jordan and the owner (I assume Gino) make us feel like we're in Cheers, where everybody knows your name. Its a neighborhood restaurant where you feel and are treated like family. We love this place. We usually sit at the bar and inevitably we meet wonderful people who make our meal that much more enjoyable. LOVE THIS PLACE.“

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

“I have tried this place a few times. The pizza is ok. There are a few specialty pizzas that are absolutely delicious. Everyone is very nice. But I just have a very hard time understanding how they can change so much money for pizza.
Pizza is better and. Cheaper in NY. Fix your prices and maybe you may get some more customers.

We had 4 people and they brought out 1 persons food 15 min before our pizza was ready. All food should come out the same time hot and fresh.“

“Awesome food !“

“Great food I ordered the 3 different pasta it was delicious!!“

“Unreal food. Very clean. Feel like I’m in Florence“

“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.“

“As someone who loves Italian food I must say this place went beyond my expectations. We ordered the fried mozzarella and the pizza bruschetta for our appetizers and they were absolutely delicious. We got the chicken alla vodka pasta and the arrabiata pasta and they both came out perfect, the pastas were cooked to perfection and the sauces were super flavorful. Fratelli’s was overall an amazing experience for us, the food felt authentic and was very filling. I would recommend anyone in the area to visit!“

“Food is as good as always, but I've recently been using the curbside OG to GO. It's the best to go service of any restaurant. As I understand, the to-go staff has a lot more to handle than just walking food to the parking lot. Wanted to shoutout Robyn, who has been our to-go person twice; she's so friendly, makes the entire experience positive from the very start.“

“The food is always prepared perfectly. Chefs Tony and Ryan do an awesome job making sure everything is cooked to your liking. Annmarie and Amy make sure the customers are taken care of as far as drinks and service are concerned. Always friendly and accommodating. A very friendly atmosphere, great for a night out with friends or a date night.“

“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! 🍝🥗😊“
