“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!!!“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

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

“I love the food at this restaurant. Literally everything I’ve tried is amazing and I will continue coming back.

But what made the experience a stand out was Madi’s service.

She was our server the first time we dined at Osteria Ester, and was super attentive and energetic. Her recommendations were perfect, I can confidently say her service was better than the service at restaurants 3x the price.

Totally recommend, i have gone multiple times already.“

“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!“

“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!!!“

“amazing people amazing staff great quality food you all tried everybody else and now try the best.“

“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.“

“Great family dining experience, highly recommend!“

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

“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.“

“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!“

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

“5-Star Review for Mandola’s Italian Kitchen – Maitland, FL
Absolutely outstanding experience at Mandola’s Italian Kitchen in Maitland! From the moment we walked in, the restaurant was spotless and inviting—very clean and well-maintained throughout.
The food was amazing. Every dish was flavorful, perfectly prepared, and true Italian comfort at its best. You can tell they take real pride in the quality.
What really set this place apart was the excellent customer service, especially from Hanna and Matthew in the dining room. Both were warm, attentive, and made us feel completely taken care of the entire time. They checked in at just the right moments and went out of their way to ensure everything was perfect.
Highly recommend Mandola’s—great food, a sparkling clean space, and standout service from Hanna and Matthew. We’ll definitely be back!“

“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!!“

“I definitely want to try more from the menu. The service was consistent and there are plenty of food/drink options. I had the chicken piccata which was good, I wish the cut was thinner but it was generous regardless. The pasta was perfectly cooked for my taste so I’m sure the other pasta dishes are great. I recommend finishing with their affogato.“

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

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

“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.“

“I’ve been here several times for dinner and today first time for brunch; & every time, it is fabulous! Today I had the pleasure of being served by Lizzy. She was personable, helpful and sweet. They are also dog friendly, which means so much to me and Daisy 🐾. The atmosphere is cozy and quaint.
Definitely a hidden gem! Don’t miss out!“

“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.“

“we ordered a large extra cheese pizza with the cheesy garlic knots the pizza was the closest to ny style thin and crispy crust !!! was 10/10 on the pizza the garlic knots were also yummy my husband loved their homemade marina sauce he grades pizza also by sauce and he definitely graded 10/10 we will be back! meant to take photos but we tore it up!“

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

“Delicious! Recommend highly. 5 stars!“

“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 !! 🇮🇹“

“Sean and Chip made my niece’s birthday lunch so special! They were incredibly friendly, attentive, and went above and beyond with their hospitality. Their outstanding customer service made our entire family feel welcome and well taken care of. Olive Garden is lucky to have them—we’ll definitely be back! Shout out to Robin too!!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Cork & Olive is such a wonderful hidden gem in Lake Mary! My Husband and I had dinner there last night and were genuinely impressed from start to finish. The food was absolutely delicious, the wine was excellent, and the atmosphere was warm, relaxed, and inviting — the kind of place where you can actually settle in and enjoy the evening.

It has that charming neighborhood feel that makes you want to tell people about it, while secretly hoping it never becomes too crowded. We had such a lovely experience and will absolutely be back many times in the future.

If you’re local and haven’t tried Cork & Olive yet, do yourself a favor and go. This little place deserves plenty of love and support!“

“Awesome food !“

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

“Wonderful food, owners and staff! Calzones and the anti pasta are my favorites! keep up the great work!“

“Just went to Broadway pizza on 434 this evening with my parents.. from the moment we stepped into the restaurant, we were well taken care of!! Thank you specifically to our server, Bracus, for going above and beyond in making sure we had everything we needed! So so kind & attentive - we will definitely be going back to Broadway for great food & friendly faces!“

“We came in thinking this would be another regular trip but little did we know our server Susan would turn our entire day around. such an amazing treat, and the epitome of “When you’re here, you’re family”“
