50 Best Italian Restaurants near Championsgate

“Osteria is really an excellent restaurant. To me, excellent cuisine is all about the flavor. And the combination of flavors, yet without compromising the distinct flavors of the herbs and spices used, is a highpoint of this establishment. Today, for lunch, we enjoyed the tomato basil and cream of mushroom soups. The tomato basil was hearty and impeccably seasoned. The cream of mushroom was not overly rich and chock full of mushrooms--incredible. The soups, paired with the Osteria house salad made for a perfect lunch. Our sons opted for the classic Margherita pizza. Their comment, "to die for!" Finally, I will not patronize a place if they act as though I am doing them a favor by patronizing their restaurant (or whatever). Quite the opposite at Osteria. From the owner, Steve (who we met 2 years ago, to the wait associate (Kevin) today, all are both gracious as well as exceedingly responsive to any request. If you wish a delicious meal, within the context of a casual, albeit very nice setting, Osteria is worthy of consideration. This has and will remain a go-to destination for our family whenever visiting Reunion Resort and the Champions Gate area!“

“We are from Lakeland and always drive up here to enjoy the food and atmosphere. Our waiter Moe this evening was very nice and Ethan, the host, was also kind and great to talk to. The food here is delicious and the people are nice. We got the 4 for $40 deal which is an amazing promotion going on for the summer. I highly recommend this place! Shoutout to both Moe and Ethan! Definitely tell Moe I say dankje, which is thank you in Dutch. We will be back soon.“

“Big rave to this restaurant. An honest mistake was made and a few items were missing from our Uber Eats delivery. I contacted the restaurant and they immediately admitted to the error. Their asst manager personally drove the missing items directly to our hotel and even threw in some free dessert! They went over and above to quickly address and fix the issues! Would highly recommend them and the food was great.“

“Sam (our server) and Angeline (our Sommelier), along with a very nice young man (been there about 8 months) who brought us in (sorry I didn’t catch his name) made sure we wanted for nothing. We asked for suggestions and they delivered all the way through dessert!! Professional, engaging, and genuinely nice people! Oh, and the food!!!!“

“We came rolling into Orlando after a long day of traveling! We were all very hungry for some good pizza! V Pizza did not disappoint us! Our 13 year old granddaughter kept saying it was some of the best pizza she'd ever eaten! As previous owners of a pizza restaurant, we thought our pizzas were pretty amazing! The staff was very friendly and eager to serve us. The restaurant was clean and had very modern decor. We will probably go back before returning home!“

“Cauliflower salad is absolutely amazing“

“Excellent place for lunch if you're staying at the Omni Orlando. We shared a small pizza and a Caesar salad, both of which were excellent. The service was excellent. We ate at one of the outdoor tables, which unfortunately did not have a good view. One verall, however I would give it five stars“

“Amazing, great food, love the ambiance!“

“I hadn't been to Olive Garden in 2 years because I moved to Orlando from New York and didn't know the closest location. Well I found it and was very pleased. The service was great! The food and wine were delicious. I can't wait to go back for lunch. It has always been one of my favorite places.“

“My family enjoy eating at, I love new york pizza“

“Tonight we had our usual meatball sandwiches which included a side salad. We order this about once a week and have never,until this evening, been disappointed. The meatballs were only half meatballs, I believe were always full size meatballs,side salad with no dressing and hard, dried out bread. The only thing eatable were the half meatballs. I called to speak with the manager, I talked to Dominic who informed me we always get half meatballs, the bread was probably overcooked and he would speak to the salad person. He did offer to make a new sandwich but since there 2 of us I refused. He offered to give some credit to our card but I refused explaining that they need to correct situations and monitoring of their employees. I am sorry this happened and I must say the manager seemed very disinterested. Also it appears I was speaking to an assistant manager Dominic. I had to get this poor service off my chest.“

“Can’t believe this hidden Jem was right under our noses all the time!! Highly recommend this truck!!! Food excellent! Staff is awesome!!! Can’t find this good anywhere in Orlando !“

“Good little place for a nice glass of reasonably priced Chianti and pasta . Angela the waitress was a real delight !“

“Amazing service! The staff is outstanding. We got in early and were able to check in early! They were extremely helpful with our bags and even provided a pack and play for our son. Every day we’d come back to our room with clean beds and towels and they’d even set up all of my daughter’s toys and she thought it was the greatest thing ever. Check out was a breeze! They definitely played a very large part in the success of our trip!“

“Every time I come to this resort. I Play their games that they have throughout the week and I always win free pizza, drinks and ice cream. So of course it's a five star. I never have to pay for anything. The pizza is great and has a lot of cheese.“

“atendimento impecável, comida saborosa e sempre fresca.“

“Best NYC pizza ever“

“Angela was incredible at the Glasshouse location. After a mishap with DoorDash, she was able to get my order remade, delivered when we didn’t have a car to come get it (in a hotel on vacation) and then when it got here, the food was amazing. Incredible people, incredible food, and can’t wait for the next visit.“

“My favorite Disney restaurant I’ve had so far!“

“The service was quick and the food was delicious! The guys working were super sweet and friendly. Best pizza we have had in a while!! Highly recommend. Listen to your server’s recommendations, we did and don’t regret it one bit!“

“My husband daughter and I came upon this restaurant this evening. The service was amazing and the food was amazing. The garlic bread that they give you is out of this world. We also got the calamari and my 11-year-old daughter ate the whole thing except for three pieces. I got the pasta fajioli soup and hubby got the house salad. For the main course, my husband and daughter both got the Chicken parm. I got the Veal Marsala. Everything was phenomenal. Our waitress, Virginia was amazing, she went out of her way to accommodate all of our needs. The manager “D” was also amazing. We will be going back many times in the near future!“

“I’ve been here a handful of times over the years. It’s always a great experience. The food is top notch. I’d highly recommend.“

“Food and bread is always so good 😊“

“Delicious food. Hubby had the shrimp fettuccine which was excellent. We split a house ceasar salad which was phenomenal. Really enjoyed the bruschetta pizza. Dad liked his chicken penne Alfredo. Bread and wine were delicious. Our wonderful server Bri was kind and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. Expensive but worth it. Would definitely recommend!!“

“El pan que sirven de entrada riquisimo,la pizza divina y la waitress Charisse 20 of 20“

“We had Steve and Carmano as our servers. Impeccable service throughout the whole dining experience. They went above and beyond our expectations. Also to mention Grace at the bar made us a Fifty States Vodka on the rocks with a splash of club and cranberry. It was delicious. And lastly, Andrea at the hostess desk did us a great job putting us with our great servers. We will be back soon.😎“

“The restaurant lived up to our expectations. The food was very good and presented well. The old fashioned made with Wagu beef talo was the best I've ever had. The rib eye steak was cooked perfect. The veal picatta was average. The waiter and trainee were very attentive. We waiting longer than normal for them to return after dropping off the desert menu. That's the only negative comment.“

“Fantastic service Heriberto was incredibly knowledgeable, polite, cool to talk to and made a fantastic drink. My smoked old fashioned was delicious and the ambiance was very classy with a nice relaxing vibe. I will definitely be a repeat customer and recommend this lounge to my friends.“

“Nikki, Louie, and I have been coming here for over 5 years and are never treated any other way than the very best. Tonight we had Julia as our server and she was nothing short of an ace!! The food is always outstanding and we are so very lucky to have our Pronto family right in our backyard. Thank you all for always providing us a wonderful experience and the food is just tremendous. Always so fresh and hot!! 5 stars all the way around.“

“They do a great job! Never disappointed!“

“Great food for a reasonable price❤️“

“My first stop in Orlando had to be here. Italian food being a fav, I had to try there calzone. It was amazing. Very tasty, cooked to perfection, and a generous portion of marinara sauce on the side. Most places give you just a small cup. I'll hand to try the eggplant parmigiana next time.“

“Never had an issue with the food, but why does this location run on a limited menu? I had multiple occasions where I would go to place an order only to be informed "oh we can't make that here". Again, no issues when I get around to figuring out what they actually have in the kitchen, but the hassle of "well do you have this instead" sort of killed it for me.“

“This place is soo awesom i recommend“

“Always consistent. They have the best tasting crispy dough but tender top with a delicious sauce and top quality Mozz. Price to value/quality is an 9 out of 10. This is our go-to pizza maker.“

“I had to leave a review! I just left from the store and still thinking about the customer service l received. From the moment that I walked in l was greeted the conversation was very friendly and professional. The pizzas were delicious the crust was big but tasted great. Thank you. I will definitely be back.7/1/25“

“THIS PLACE WAS AMAZING. WE ARE FROM NY AND TASTED SO GOOD. DEFINITELY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE. SERVER WAS SO NICE AND SERVICE WAS FAST. IT TAKES TIME TO COOK SO BE PREPARED FOR A LITTLE WAIT AS PERFECTION HAPPENS.“
