15 Best Italian Restaurants near Lake Helen

“I have been to Cassadaga a few times but coming to Sinatra's was a first. The food was absolutely amazing, so much so that I would gladly travel the two hours from my home again to sample something else. The decor had me drooling, with all the old furniture and paintings, I was in heaven! My only complaint was the service was sub par, she didn't come to check on us once but was very attentive to her other tables so other than that, I will definitely be a repeat customer!Parking: The parking lot is small and it's always busy there so it can be somewhat difficult to park directly in front of the restaurant.“

“I want to personally thank the staff at the restaurant on Saturday, April 6. We celebrated my mother’s 87th birthday with a group of 12. The service was absolutely exceptional and the food outstanding. Thank you to the team for making our day very special!Vegetarian options: Great great salad options as well as all pasta can be ordered meatless“

“Parking: The best Pizza place EVER!!!!!!! WHERE ELSE CAN YOU GET BUY O E GET ONE FREE PREMIUM BEER. $ Like Heiniken! Stella! Corona and more. The management and staff are providing above and beyond service with a smile. Today I had the best order of FRENCH FRIES ! Yeah fries in an Italian Bistro. They were better than French fries. They were Italian fries. With 2 Stella Artois for less than 10 bucks. Thank you ATHONY'S“

“My wife and I had a date night and was excited to get out. We arrived at 530, they open at 5 and there was already a 35 min wait. We opted for outside and was sat in about 10 mins.Cody was our server and was amazing, we ordered a margarita pizza, a burrata salad and a chopped salad with salmon. The burrata salad was amazing, but the chopped salad was ok. The salmon was over cooked and it could have used a little more dressing. The margarita pizza was cooked right, but the cheese portion wasn't enough, it could have used a slice or two more.The last time when we're there we had a ravioli dish that was amazing, but sadly we didn't see it on the menu.“

“My wife and I are newbies in Deland from South Florida. Deland has so many unique gems. Manzano's is definitely one of them. Their menu of sandwiches is A+. I always here the same thing OMG are they good, wish they were open longer but boy is it worth running over there. My biggest surprise from them is their Cuban sandwich. I am Cuban from South Florida and I can tell you someone in the Manzano family has to be related because this sandwich is so good. Thank you guys for helping not miss the 305 too much.“

“I stopped by there for lunch a couple of times now and the tacos are a killer very authentic not so crazy about their version of refried beans but the service was very nice. It's nothing fancy but it's a good solid food and a great price.“

“Have had better pizza from them in the past. Wasn't that impressed with our recent acquisition. I ate there again last Saturday, and the quality still seems to decline. We ordered there last night, and I think they gave our pizza away because they said it would be ready in 25 minutes, and it wound up being 45-50. The pizza was good, but they had to hurry it.“

“Purchased two large pizzas tonight..one vegetarian and one Goodfellas Supreme. Wow I'm so glad I found this place. They are working on a addition to the place and I look forward to dining there. They were very kind and friendly and the Pizzas were so delicious!!!! Thank you for the warm welcome and conversation and I will be back. It was delicious. Veggies were crisp and fresh..dough and sauce very delicious. Everything was wonderful..“

“This is a great little restaurant. The atmosphere is warm and cozy and it makes you feel like you are back home, no matter where you are from. The wait staff was great! The food was good. Their calzones are huge (even the small) and soooo yummy. However I wasn't impressed with the sub as it was toasted and a little too hard in my opinion. We didn't try the mimosas but the special was 2 for $5 and we will definitely return to try them!Vegetarian options: As with most Italian offerings it is easy to get a vegetarian meal here. Cheese and/or veggie pizza, calzones, stromboli, ect. As well as salad and appetizers to choose from.“

“We were just driving through and saw the sandwich sign, decided to stop in. Amazing sandwiches, better than any chain subs I’ve ever had. Even left with a t-shirt that wasn’t over priced like most places. If I lived in the area I’d be here all the time.“

“The best Georgia sausage ever. You must stop by and show him some love. #yummy. This my page to go on my quick lunch break from breaking sweat doing hair extensions and wig units all day. Signed by THE PERFECT TOUCH SALON -orange cityParking: Lowe’s parking lot. Located at front door“

“Picky: our service was great. I never received a lime slice for my water; the chicken gnocci soup was watery, but still good; I had chicken parm: the noodles were hard (not even al denti); the chicken was the patty thing. Mom had the same soup: she didn't care for the mushy pasta glob in the soup. Good flavor though. The salad had a perfect amount of dressing.Wheelchair accessibility: Very close to the door, sidewalk safe“

“We went to Positano with a team of 35 athletes while visiting Stetson and we had a great time at Positano. It was so easy to set up the dinner and they were really accommodating with our big group. The food was delicious and came out fast. The service was great and they were able to handle our group with ease. I would definitely recommend them to groups large or small to eat and enjoy!“

“I would like to correct my previous review which appears to have been removed. I share the same name as my son and use his account for various things he shares with me. I mistakenly spoke on his behalf. Somehow thought I was doing him a favor until he told me what happened due to my actions. My review had nothing to do with the food as I have never had it. So, to anyone who saw it, it was irrelevant and disregard it.“

“The loaded potato soup was delicious!?? Liked the side of sauteed fresh green beans ?. They were nicely seasoned ?. But by far the best were the desserts ?. My husband had a cannoli and I had the big 3 flavored ice cream scoop dipped in chocolate (forgot what it was called, lol). They both were great ?.“
